After the escapade of watching Arel and the boogeymen, the mermaid had decided that to stay in her home, she would fight for it. Though she had no idea where to set up.
One of the students, someone unknown to her, after listening to what she could do led her to the exams for the Defensive and Healing Exam and sat her down. She nervously waited as she thought of what she would do for her exam. She was very shy, and even worst had horrible stage fright, and what was a exam but a large and very IMPORTANT stage?
Her hands strung together as she filtered through the songs she could sing, one's she knew and one's that she only remembered the melodies for. She wanted so badly to sing one for how sad she was for losing the academy.
Clearing her throat, she waited so patiently for examineers to get to her before they called her over.
"Amphitrite!" The boogeyman gave her a snarl as she pulled up that had her cowering before she looked at the FEAR meter. Her head turned curiously at the men before stepping up to it and taking a deep breath.
Within her voice, she infused the techniques of her sister's and her mermaid clan. Enchanting and lulling, leaving those around her paralyzed in awe. Or something like that.
"She'll do it anyway,
and take the lead and say.
She won't be kind, no
realise..."
Her voice carried over as she laid a hand on her stomach. The Meter picking up the traces of her FEAR in the song. She watched it steadily climb up. Closing her eyes, she continued to sing without thinking of the audience, without thinking of anything but the school and how she wanted to stay here, and make more friends.
"Coz she's too nice to you,
and you're too nice to her.
You don't let each other burn.
Coz you know comes a time,
when love will unwind.
Somebody suffers,
what's new?
Still you."
Some how it felt like she spoke from experiences close to her heart but, no this song was developed by her sister's...meant to speak of those you did not stay so faithful to their lovers. The boogeyman continued to stare as the meter still climbed slowly.
"You don't put up a fight,
if you don't let each other get worried.
You know there's a time,
so don't let down your guard,
even keep up your shield.
Coz she doesn't care,
just what they say.
So you know that it's over.
Love can damage your health.
I brought you something close to me,
left for something you see though you're here.
You haunt my dreams,
there's nothing to do but believe,
just believe.
Just breathe."
Just Breathe.
The end of her song as she opened her eyes and waited for her FEAR to stop working, for it's traces to fade from the air, washed away by the noise and chatter of other students.
Amphi nodded as she stepped away, 7 points to add to the Defensive team.
Amphi's Score: 7 points
