She was submerged in total darkness, far beneath the surface of the ocean. She could not see. She could not hear, for she was alone. She could breathe, though.<br/><br/><em>"I can breathe,"</em>Uvu thought. She felt the large gills near her neck that creased down towards her chest, presumably connected to her lungs or circulatory system. Something shifted in the the water near her. She flinched in sudden fright. Whatever it was, it meant she was not alone in this abyss. Something soft and hard nudged her.<br/><br/>She squeled and tried flapping away in the water. It nudged her again. She reached out to keep it from bumping into her. Maybe she could push it away.<br/><br/>Uvu prayed this creature was harmless. When she pressed her hand against it, she felt something smooth protruding from it's...fur? It seemed to sit still and hung in the water for a moment. She felt around it's protrusion and realized she was feeling its face and head. It wasn't anything like what she would have expected to find underwater. It felt like a horse or dog. Definitely a mammal. The protrusion...was a horn...two of them actually.<br/><br/>A deer? The creature bent forward and prodded Uvu again. She didn't freak out as much this time. It seemed to try wrapping a leg around her. She reached out to that and realized this creature's body was large. Maybe the size of a truck, based on length of the leg and the size of the head. It began to move and she was being pushed forward by it.<br/><br/>It clicked for her: It was trying to move her. Uvu grabbed onto it as it swam. When she did so, the creature must have realized she was letting it take her wherever it was taking her because it quickly began accelerating in the water. Something shocked Uvu further: it was moving bizaarely. It wasn't swimming like it had four thin legs. It was swaying like a shark or a whale. She felt around with her feet and sure enough there was a huge aquatic tail where hind legs were expected to be.<br/><br/><em>"What is this?!"</em>She puzzled.<br/><br/>Light began to enter her field of vision. She realized they were moving upward towards the surface. A feeling of joy and relief entered her heart and mind as she realized the creature was truly guiding her. They crashed the surface and the sun kissed their freshly exposed heads and shoulders in greeting. The creature cood with excitement. Uvu got her bearings and saw the beach just ahead of them. She looked to her guide and remembered the spirit. This was that spirit.<br/><br/><em>"It's you,"</em>She said in awe. The creature turned around around and licked her a couple times on the cheek, seemingly in response. The creature swam them to the shore. Uvu rode in thoughtful silence.<br/><br/>Something had brought her hear. She wondered why. What was she meant to do?<br/><br/>When they reached the shore they began walking out of the water. Well, in the creature's case this was a combination of walking on its front two legs and slithering with its large fish tail. Just outside of the ocean, it stopped abruptly. Uvu turned to it, realizing it had stopped and was looking directly at her. She went back to it and bent down in front of the creature.<br/><div class="floatright">(https://images-wixmp-ed30a86b8c4ca887773594c2.wixmp.com/intermediary/f/92d5fe76-1655-4235-bf20-e250de1bb600/d5os8zb-da4f9cac-9bdf-4fe1-bb42-e7ce3aa45223.jpg/v1/fill/w_774,h_1032,q_70,strp/capricorn_by_mattbarley_d5os8zb-pre.jpg)</div><em>"I suppose you lead me to where I need to be...but why?"</em>She questioned.<br/><br/>The creature seemed to look away in thought to the island they came to. It looked back to Uvu. It bent its head slowly and gently against her head.<br/><br/>A swell of mystical essence then wrapped around Uvu and the creature faded away. the essence glowed and sank into Uvu's body. She swung her head back and gasped. A flood of ideas and power entered her mind and body as the spirit fused with her.<br/><br/><strong><em>Capricorn</em></strong><br/><br/>She knew why she was there. She rose from the sand looked towards the trees. There was work to be done, and time was running short.<br/><br/>
