Prologue: A wet and wottery beginning
It was a cold, dark night. Waves blasted against the shores of the beach, pulling many sleeping Krabby and Staryu back into the depths of the ocean. My family’s seaside hut was no exception to the blasting waves, sadly, and there was chaos indoors.
“Get outside!” My mother yelled as water flooded our hut. Normally this would be no problem, being a family of Mijumarus, but we would drown soon if we didn’t get out quick enough. After all, just because you can swim doesn’t mean you can breathe underwater. I mean, go look at the humans in the closest region, Isshu. Some spend all day swimming in the water, but they can still only breathe above the waves. It’s basically the same with Mijumarus.
There was only one problem with getting underwater; all of the windows and the door were completely submerged, and the only way would be to swim down for long enough to unlock the door or a window and get out. As I was young, I would never be able to swim for long enough to escape. Our only hope was for my mom to do it, and she was holding an Egg in one hand and attempting to keep it dry. I realized that if she was to do it then my unborn little sister would die.
“I’m going to try!” I yelled, and took a deep breath, then launched myself into the water I dove five feet, then ten, then fifteen. I reached the floor of our house, and swam to the door, attempting to Shell Blade it and let the water out of our hut. Upon popping the shell off my chest, I lost hold of it and was forced to swim upwards to retrieve it and get a breath of air.
I swam down again, shell in my paw, and the same thing happened. When I was mere seconds from cutting the door, I was forced to return to the surface for air.
“I can’t do it,” I gasped as the water rose. It were almost as high as the ceiling, and we would all drown if we didn’t find a way out soon. Suddenly, I was jerked against the wall as our hut tumbled into the ocean. The rocks and sticks our hut was formed out of began to slide out of place, leaving a small hole only large enough for me to barely get through. The water was rising at a super fast speed.
“Go,” my mom said, and pushed my sister’s Egg into my paws. “Take your sister with you. Her name will be Marua when she hatches. Go.”
“Mom, I’m not leaving without you!” I yelled.
“I’ll be fine,” she said. “Go, now. I promise we’ll see each other again soon.”
And with that, I swam out the opening, into the cruel ocean, being sure to keep the Egg as dry as possible. I could see the beach in the distance and the storm in the sky, lightning pounding on the sand. I swam over to it, sure it was the island on which I lived. I washed up on the beach with my sister’s Egg only a little wet. I stood up slowly, and walked off the beach into a small woods, placing the Egg carefully in a place it would avoid rain if rain happened. With that, I passed out, my last thought of my mother, trapped underwater in our hut.

Please review it! The following chapter will be longer than this, I promise.
