of a dream, and she feared
asking him only to find out…it might really have been. He said they’d been
together, but could she take the chance that it was true, or make it come true
if it wasn’t? She glanced around. Amazed, at how she could see for what seemed
liked miles just like on land.
    The undersea world appeared
spectacular, just like the underwater shows she’d watched as a kid. A bright
red and gold fish about a foot long, swam past them. The colors of life below
seemed even more vivid. How could she pass up the chance to see more and learn
more about this incredible world and the beings who inhabited it? She turned to
gaze at Xavior—okay maybe her interest really lay in learning more about
one being in particular. “How about I stay with you a couple of days and you
show me your world? I think I’d like to see it.”
    “Good, I would like that, too.”
    She followed him through the
waters, but the deeper they swam, the darker it got, until all she could see
really were shadows. Fear crept into her thoughts.
    He must have picked up on
something, perhaps by the way she clung to his hand. He stopped and tread
water. “I’m sorry,” he spoke into her mind. “I forgot you would need this.” He
took the necklace he wore from around his neck and placed it around hers.
    She blinked. She already
noticed the medallion before, when they’d first met. A memory had sparked then
and again now. She’d seen it once before, but couldn’t remember where. “Wow! I
can see again.” It seemed like someone just turned on a light in a dark room.
She peered up but couldn’t see all the way to the surface anymore. They’d gone
deeper and the water seemed to be an endless blue green. She could see all
sorts of undersea life. Most of it she couldn’t even begin to identify. Cori
raised the necklace, so she could get a better look at it. A round flat disk,
about the size of a dime, and made of—maybe black pearl, carved into it
the shape of a wave, reaching toward the sun. “This is beautiful. Thank you.”
    “You’re very welcome. The
necklace is a sea charm. It allows you sight underwater, and to breathe even
when I’m not holding you. It has been in my family for generations.”
    Cori tried then, to take it
off. “Oh no, then I can’t wear this.”
    “Yes, you can.”
    “What about you?”
    “I can see quite well under the
sea.”
    “All right. Then, I’ll just
borrow it and return it to you when you take me back topside.”
    “Come on.” He pushed his
powerful thighs against the water and propelled them forward.
    Cori truly walked or
rather…swam right into another world. The necklace did help her see more
clearly. It looked like daylight underwater, she could see for miles. She had
no idea how long they continued swimming, passing all manner of underwater
life. She saw sea creatures she felt sure, no other human had ever seen. She
never realized how colorful and dazzling sea life could be. Neon yellow,
purple, green and red…all stunning to the eyes. None of the creatures shied
away from them, and as long as they didn’t meet any sharks, she was fine.
    Finally, in the distance, even
further down on what she thought must be the sea floor, appeared the outline of
buildings. Like a city, but like none she’d ever seen before. “Oh, my God!” she
thought to Xavior. “You really do come from another world!”
    He turned to her and hugged her
closer to his side. “Welcome, to my home, Cori.” He kissed her, bubbles
floating from their joining. Their bodies wrapped around each other, and they
slowly spiraled downward toward the city.
    Cori never experienced
anything like his kisses in her life. His tongue filled her mouth and she
feasted upon it. What was happening? He pulled away, but continued to hold her
hand. She immediately felt bereft, craving his closeness, but enjoying the feel
of her hand enclosed in his.
    As they neared the city, she
saw buildings made out of some type of beach-colored
