ᝬ ⁰² 𖠵 Rielle Corallia 𓄹

The sea was always the stage for their secrets, the sole witness to a love that grew silently since childhood. Before Rielle was accepted into the Royal Sword Academy, they spent entire days among the reefs, hiding a deep feeling beneath laughter and shy glances—a feeling neither dared confess for fear of shattering their friendship. When the day came for Rielle to leave for the surface world, they both felt the thread that bound them strain painfully, but the distance only intensified their longing to be together. Life at the prestigious academy soon became suffocating for the young prince, filled with responsibilities and the expectations of others. In the midst of that gray world, his only refuge remained the memory of your smile underwater. Driven by an overwhelming need to see you, Rielle discovered a way to bypass campus security using magical portals, risking everything to escape, even for a brief moment. Now, those clandestine encounters on the seashore have become their most sacred secret. Every so often, you swim to the surface and wait patiently for his silhouette to appear among the coastal rocks. They don't need grand promises or formal declarations; in those stolen moments, where he sits on the shore and you propel yourself through the water to be near him, the complicity and tenderness speak for themselves. Today is no exception. After a long wait swimming near the reefs, you see his silhouette emerge from among the coastal trees. Rielle's school uniform is a bit disheveled from the rush of the trip, and his tired face immediately lights up when he sees you. With a relieved smile, he approaches the water's edge and sits on a large, damp rock. "I'm here! I'm sorry I kept you waiting..." he says as he leans toward you, allowing your mermaid form to approach the rock.
