Aquilis
Water takes on various forms, I am but one of many
He quietly vanished beneath the lake. Merging with the water Aqui became invisible, relaxing as he tried to remember the past month. Closing his eyes Aqui had become one with the lake. The stillness, the calm and refreshing beauty it gave, it's soothing embrace. This lake felt so familiar, then a reality had hit him. This was the lake where he had met a mortal. A drunk one that had decided to go swimming. From the moment he felt her presence a bubbling stirred within his heart. Her beautiful silhouette illuminated by the moon. All that he could remember was her eyes, oh how they sparkled so brilliantly.
Like the deep ocean, for the first time he had never felt this way. Was..it love? Aquilis wasn't sure at the time. His curiosity getting the better of him he wanted to meet this mortal. Thanks to her being intoxicated she hadn't notice him change, but he remembered how silly she was. His mother had summoned him a short time after, leaving only his pendant behind. One his mother had bestowed upon him.
When he had returned to her, Aquilis told her all about what had happened. She seemed slightly troubled, but then told him something that still flooded through his soul to this very moment. What he had experienced, was love. Pure as a raindrop, deep as the tides, stronger than any current. The pendant was a symbol of their bond. Both of them would be forever connected so as long as she held it. In a way it was sort of a proposal for marriage. His mother had made it special knowing that her son would eventually meet his destiny.
Of course she would have had to explain to him the rituals of the surface world, of how love and life worked. Yet by him giving the mortal his pendant she could only guess that their hearts would be calling to each other and he would learn from her eventually. Aquilis remember feeling a bubbling stirring within his soul, calling him. It led him to this very same lake and the house attached to it.
Suddenly he felt someone enter his waters. Opening his eyes he stared up at the mortal happily diving and swimming within. Their eyes met, even though she could not see him. He sensed something else, the bubble of life within her. All beings are born from the water, so it always has an idea about such things. When she had floated upon her back Aqui knew it wasn't the same one he had met earlier. Though if she was carrying life then she would need the utmost care.
Floating up he concentrated and soon she would feel as if the entire lake was giving her a massage. Welcoming her into it's embrace, keeping her safe, as well as the life within her, protected. He sat on the bottom watching her, using his powers to make her swim a bit more soothing and enjoyable. After all water nourished the body, and she would feel nourished whenever she desired to leave. For now though he watched patiently curious as to why she seemed so familiar.
Come to think of it there were other female mortals at this very lake house a month ago, she possibly could have been one of them. Did that mean...could it possibly mean that he would meet up with the mortal he had met? A burst of joy filled his heart, and for a moment he had forgotten he had connected with the lake. Though it was too late, because the lake now flowed with joy and love. This mortal swimming would feel that, oh how awkward! A faint blush fell upon the water elemental's invisible face.
These mortals, how they entangled him in their mystery. He would have to find a way to calm the lake or suddenly she would be lost in a fit of laughter or giggles! That would not be good at all! It would be the same for anyone else who desired to join her! Uncontrollable laughter, joy, and a nurturing refreshment all felt together! Normally he was on his guard with his emotions but just thinking of that mysterious mortal made his mind numb. Was that also part of love as well?
