From that day on the experiments stopped, only when they gave us food we would see light. Slowly I got to know the people around me and for some reason they seemed to get stronger since they put me in the cell. Little by little we started making a plan to escape this hellhole. months went by and we finally decided to go through with it. the door opened and we all went towards the door, attacking whoever was opening it. We managed to get outside and swim for it. No one seems to be stopping us. We move forward and suddenly a dark figure appears. It starts laughing, everyone around me freezes in place. Only I am able to continue swimming, afraid I keep going because the dark creature doesn't seem interested in me. I heard people screaming behind me. The pain I felt leaving behind the only friends I had was unbearable. I keep swimming and I'm in the open sea now it seems. All of a sudden a huge anglerfish submarine appears in front of me. The people inside tell me to get in.

We arrive at some kind of inn.
Everybody there stops talking and is looking at me. I'm not sure where I am or what this is. They take me to a small room in the back, where I can hear the sounds of cheering at the bar. The room I’m in seems to be some kind of office, there is a weird man sitting there. He starts asking me questions, I can't answer because I don't understand his language. I ask them where I am, the man seems to lighten up a little and calls out to someone. Another strange looking man shows up and all of a sudden he starts talking to me. He says, my boss says hello and wants to know why you came out of that hell hole.

I start telling them my story of how I got abducted, the things they did to me and my friends. Both of the men listen carefully. The boss starts speaking again. It's a pretty long story. Then the man translating repeats what he just said. He says, my boss says that you're in luck because you stumbled upon our group. But first he said that you need to rest and get stronger before we start talking. The boss calls out again and a beautiful lady comes in. She starts talking to me, I can understand her but I can hear it's not her main language. She takes me with her to another strange submarine. We move to a strange cave that looks kind of shady and old. When we enter there seems to be a door, turns out she just took me home with her.

The next few days seem to go by really fast. I'm still pretty weak but it's been like I've died and landed in heaven. Everyone I've met is so nice to me. The woman that took me home is called Rita, she has been treating my wounds and says I need to eat a lot in order to get better. The nights are rough because I keep dreaming about what happened.

Weeks pass by and I finally start feeling better. I'm able to swim a little now. Rita will take me out today and I’m honestly curious about her plans. We get into the submarine and take off, Rita is being all mysterious about it. A few hours go by and In the distance I can see some light. Maybe it's the place Rita is taking us. as we get closer the lights become more visible. it's asif the darkness has lifted at least for a little bit. Rita parks the submarine at a Dock that's attached to a building. We get out and enter the building. I can hear music coming from behind the doors. Rita tells me to wait for a little bit because she wants to get tickets. The lobby seems kind of empty, in the middle of the lobby there is a girl maybe around fifteen years old just floating there staring at me. She starts talking to me but i can't understand her. Rita comes back and says, I see you have met my daughter. She lives on her own. A few houses away from us. Her name is Mira , I'm teaching her your language because only a few people still speak it nowadays. I was wondering if you could help me teach her and in return she could help me teach you our language. now let's go inside because standing out here is not nearly as fun as going inside.

Rita opens the door and I can now clearly hear the music playing. It's unlike anything I've ever heard. I almost forgot what music sounds like after being locked away for so long. We enter and a bright light lights up the whole room. It's a beautiful chandelier. There is a big stairway leading up to another door beneath the stairway is a restaurant. Chefs are working hard and there are tables filled with people. Rita tells us we are first going up the staircase, the restaurant is for after the show. I wonder what the show is going to be. Mira takes my hand and smiles at me. We go up the stairway and enter a big theater. The teature back home was just a tiny building for the local theatre club. This one is massive. In the middle is a gigantic stage, with its curtains closed Mira starts to laugh and yells something in the language I don't know. She seems really happy. We sit down in our seats; they are almost front row tickets. After a while of talking with Rita and Mira the lights dim and the curtains start to open.

I woke up in a dungeon. It was a dark and cruel place. I had no idea where I was or what had happened. I remember Octor rushing towards me and now i'm here. Hours seem to pass and I get a little used to the darkness around me. In the darkness I see some shades laying there on the floor. I can't really tell who or what they are, it vaguely reminds me of Octor.

A few more hours pass by and suddenly there is light, a door is opened and my eyes have to adjust for a while. A dark figure moves towards my cell. Not sure who this is I hide behind a rock in my cell. As the footsteps get closer I can hear a strange laugh, something unfishlike. The footsteps stop in front of my cell and I hear the cell door open. Two figures drag me from behind the rock. They put a bag on my head and were unable to see me somewhere. They strapped me to a table and started doing unspeakable things to me. they did not shy away from anything to test me. Day after day experiments were done on me and I found out they were unable to explain why I was immune to the taint. Their leader wanted to know at all costs.

Months went by and days have blurred into one. The experiments they put me trough are torture and im unable to do anything about it. Then one day after maybe a year, I could tell by how many experiments were done on me. They locked me in a different cell. The cell with the dark shades. As my eyes got used to the darkness I could see they were octo mermaids like Octor. They were in really bad shape and all looked drained. On the brink of death.
