“Hi! Who are you? Do I know you?” Limie’s lips were drying slowly. The man was actually giving out heat in flares occasionally.
“No, you don’t know me. You have no idea. I am from the Sea. My name is MeniseMunchok. You can call me Menise.”
“What do you want?” Limie asked.
“Yes, you don’t even have weapons. Will you eat us?” Loimi added, looking up at the immovably tall man.
“No, I won’t do any of that, you know it very well.” The man smiled.
“Fine, then please tell me what is it?” Limie was losing patience.
“I want to warn you that do not go back to lands, stay away from them as much as possible. It is extremely important that you do that.”
“Why should I? I mean, we go to the lands for everything. Sea cannot provide for us.”
“Of course you need to go down but then I would request you to not stay back. You can go down, collect your food and medicines and then come back here to the Sea.” His voice was sweet as a lullaby
“I do not understand.” Limie nodded her head.
“Fine. I will tell you. You and your adopted daughter are properties of the Sea, you belong to the Sea. You belong to the Kingdom of Sorgnoriuntele. They are one of the seven kingdoms of Water and their heart or their main grounds lie in Ganymede. Our location is Neptune. We belong to the Dolphin clan.”
“We belong to whom?” Limie could not believe what she heard. There was no celebration, no killings, no murder, no fights while this truth was being told hence it was not making an impact.
“You have to keep low, you have to go around yet wait for the time which will come in three years to return to your own lands.”
“Which lands? There are no lands belonging to anyone called some whatever Sorg.” Limie persisted.
“Yes, there is. Don’t bother now. Just make sure you do not stay back on lands, just make sure you do not live anywhere else. To make sure you don’t tell anyone. Just make sure to not answer or question anyone else. Do not talk to any Dolphins as well, if they don’t take my name. My name is cloned and I will know immediately if someone takes my name anywhere on Earth.”
“What?” Limie understood nothing but Loimi grasped all of it. She memorized it.
“Here give me your arm.”
Before Limie could protest, he grabbed her left arm and he brought the tiny stick-like structure hidden within his palms closer to her skin.
It tingled and she felt like a small electric spark which you can feel, when one charges I-pads and other devices. Limie felt that kind of a tingle.
“But, I have just come up to the Sea today. You guys never came up. I was on land all this while? This does not make sense.” Limie asked.
“There is a time for everything Limie; you must know that very well. Ask your daughter how she was drowned today when she comes to the Sea to wash clothes every day.”
Limie looked at Loimi who avoided looking at her mother.
When Limie jerked her hard, “Loimi, answer.” only then did the little girl reply back.
“I was suddenly surrounded by the dolphins. They never came up today and began calling me. O rode one of it’s back. The next time while trying to ride another, I fell.” Loimi sulked.
“Everything has a time. Informing you beforehand can help in no way.”
The man went out of the glass and then vanished in the waters.
