Sink beneath the surface and you are free

For @Nakai !
Sorry for making you wait this long... Shool's drowning me! D:

It hadn't been easy being a loner for so long. Aella was used to being always guarded by obedient males and to always be surrounded by the graceful company of the Nereides sisters. More than two months had passed since her departure from Ankyra, and there wasn't a single thing she regretted most in her life.

The hunger was persistent, even when she'd had more than plenty food for a wolf to stay alive for a full month. She was thin and weak, something she'd just recently started to learn how to deal with, and her spirit was nowhere near as high as what it used to be. There was nothing she could do right now, only wait and regain the strength she was known for. She had to be patient and persistent.

Unfortunately, patience was something the fiery Amazon lacked greatly. She didn't want to sit idle in a den and wait for Spyridon to bring her the food she wad always been able to catch for herself. It was demeaning. The beach was her target and so she walked steadily enough through the woods and down the cliffs, fast as her gaunt body allowed her, and -not very soon- Aella reached her destiny. The salty air was soothing, comforting her ache limbs, but getting there was only the beginning. Fishing was why the fireball was there for, and fishing was the thing she'd do. She put her terminator face on and slowly walked into the cold sea water.

She stood there, watching warily the water looking for the prey. A swift flick of scales flashed brightly to her left reflecting the setting sun light, and quickly, Aella jumped to attack.

She missed... For the fourth time in the last two hours...
