Short filmTranscript
00:00My sister poisoned all ten of my children then she pushed me into a deep rift current tear
00:04I died in the dark water below and I woke up on the morning of the tide bond ray staring
00:08at the same sky
00:09Breathing the same cold water. I lay still for a moment. Let it settle. We'd arrived on the abyssal realm
00:14together
00:14My sister Sela and I two women dropped into a world that ran on tide power and blood wake
00:20The clan chief had lined up every unmated male in the coral land. We were supposed to choose
00:24In last life, Sela told me to take the lionfish birth. Lionfish lay soft eggs
00:29Easier than giving birth
00:31She smiled like she was doing me a favor. She took the great white shark the only a rank male
00:36What she didn't tell me was that she already knew lionfish eggs hatched in large clutches. I
00:42chose Cole
00:43I got pregnant fast one clutch ten hatchlings all A rank in a coral clan that had seen maybe five
00:50A ranks in a hundred years that was enough to make Cole the next clan chief and turn me into
00:54something the coral elders called
00:56Abyss chosen
00:57Sela got one B rank from the great white shark then another then three more nothing better
01:02She couldn't accept it. She crept into Cole's reef den
01:06He threw her out in front of the whole coral clan
01:08The great white shark ended their bond and drove her and her children into the dead current in less than
01:13a month
01:13All five of her offspring starved. I was the one who took her back in I gave her food
01:18I gave her warmth she killed my ten hatchlings one by one and then she pushed me into a deep
01:22rift current tear
01:23I still remember weightless
01:25So this time I was not choosing Cole the tide bond right was already moving the clan chief stood at
01:32the front arms folded
01:33Watching the males line up
01:35Sela was beside me her shoulder just barely touching mine
01:38I felt the exact moment she decided to move a small shift in her weight a breath
01:42She didn't finish she crossed the water toward Cole like she'd rehearsed it pressed herself against his arm
01:47Tipped her face up to the clan chief. She looked back at me clan chief that smile. I choose Cole
01:53I looked at Cole cold current blood no warmth in the dry tide three months of tide sleep every year
02:00Leaving whatever female he'd chosen to manage the reef den alone in the collapsing food chain
02:05No hunting skills without the coral clan around him. He couldn't even feed himself
02:08She thought she'd taken the prize. She didn't know what she would pay
02:12I turned and looked at what was left a B rank whale merfolk two C rank sea turtle merfolk near
02:17the back a manta ray merfolk
02:19Who had been watching me since I swam in brow creased expression difficult to read. I started toward him the
02:24crowd shifted
02:25I thought about my ten hatchlings quiet good never any trouble a rank every one of them and felt something
02:31cold and settled move through the grief
02:33Not this time. I was about to open my mouth a palm hit my face so hard. I fit my
02:38cheek
02:40It's you!
02:41The female in front of me was bonded to the coral clan's tiger shark merfolk. She was shaking
02:45In her hand was a white jellyfish tentacle phone. She said she'd found in her mate's reef den
02:49Her tide ship didn't form as a white jellyfish
02:53The crowd turned around
02:55One voice at the back, then three more
02:57I looked past her shoulder and found Sela near the middle of the crowd
03:00She'd practiced that expression. I was certain of it
03:02Last life she hadn't needed it. Last life I hadn't stood in her way
03:06Oh Lyra, I didn't want to say anything
03:09But I did see you swimming with Leo that night
03:12One sentence
03:13Every door in the room closed at once
03:15The manta ray merfolk stepped back
03:16The clan chief's eyes were already on me
03:18I tide shifted on the spoke
03:19White jellyfish, clean tentacles, whole circle, every angle, nothing hidden
03:23The crowd went quiet. I shifted back
03:27No damaged tentacles
03:28That filament isn't mine
03:30A damaged tentacle root scar on my inner thigh
03:32Small, deliberate
03:33Someone in the crowd saw it
03:35That was enough
03:35I had spent this entire second life thinking I understood what Sela was capable of
03:39I had underestimated her
03:41Out
03:42I looked at Sela one last time
03:44She was holding back a smile
03:45I turned and swam
03:46No argument, no appeal, no tears
03:49I swam through it with my back straight
03:50And I didn't stop until I was outside
03:53Sela came to see me off
03:55Like a female who had already won
03:56Don't worry Lyra
03:57There are powerful males out there
03:59Maybe you'll find the right one
04:01Thanks for the encouragement
04:02Cole has a lot of stamina
04:04Lionfish nature is what it is
04:06Once or twice a day is just recreation for him
04:08I watched the warmth leave her face
04:09You should build up your strength
04:11Wouldn't want to disappoint him
04:12I turned and swam, didn't look back
04:15The coral clan's current line was a boundary of cold and warm currents meeting in the water
04:19I crossed it without slowing
04:20The dead current ahead was dark and unmapped and the water was cold
04:23She thought she'd won
04:24She hadn't thought about the dry tide
04:26Coral would enter tide sleep
04:27Three months, maybe more
04:29She'd be alone in the reef den
04:30No warmth, no provider
04:32No idea how to feed herself when the food chain collapsed
04:34She'd spent her whole life letting other people manage the hard parts
04:37She had no idea what she'd actually chosen
04:39I had swum this path before
04:41Last life I swam it in grief
04:42With nothing to my name except a tide healer's knowledge I'd spent years building
04:46This life I knew where it ended
04:47At the far end of it there was a rift
04:49Something inside that the coral clan had never seen
04:52And wouldn't know how to measure
04:53Something that had been alone so long it had forgotten my trust
04:56He'd been close to dead when I found him
04:58I was the one who pulled him back
05:01I didn't make it far before I heard it behind me
05:03Heavy strokes
05:04Low and deliberate, closing fast
05:06I tide shifted without thinking
05:07Dropped into jellyfish form and fled
05:09The water rushed past and the dead current blurred at the edges of my vision
05:13Behind me the blue shark merfolk wasn't bothering to be quiet
05:16He knew what a lone female outside clan borders meant
05:19He knew how it ended
05:20I fled until I saw the rock face
05:22A narrow opening in the coral
05:23Dark inside
05:24Barely wide enough to turn sideways and fit through
05:27I went in
05:27Behind me the blue shark merfolk stopped
05:30He circled the entrance twice
05:31His strokes slowed
05:32Then stopped entirely
05:33He cursed once
05:35Low and ugly
05:36And I heard him leave
05:37I didn't understand why
05:38I shifted back and stood still
05:40Breathing hard
05:41The rift went deeper than I'd expected
05:42The water inside was stale and cold
05:44And underneath that
05:46Something else
05:47Rot and infection
05:48And the dense animal scent of something very large
05:51I took one more step into the dark
05:53Something in the black moved
05:54I stopped
05:55My heart was loud in my ears
05:57The smell hit me harder now
05:58Animal
05:59Enormous
06:00Close
06:00Whatever was in here
06:02The blue shark merfolk had known
06:03Whatever was in here had made a predator
06:05Who hunted lone females
06:07Turn around without a sound and swim away
06:09I stood in the dark and didn't move
06:11I already knew what was in there
06:12Last life it was the same rift
06:15The same darkness
06:16The same smell
06:17I took one more step forward
06:19The sound that came out of the dark
06:21Was not a roar
06:22It was bigger than that
06:24It hit me in the chest before it reached my ears
06:26A pressure through the water
06:28Through my ribs
06:28And for one full second my body simply stopped
06:31Every instinct told me to turn around
06:33My feet didn't move
06:35The dark shifted
06:36And then I saw him
06:37White
06:37Enormous
06:39His fin crest caught the faint bioluminescent light
06:41From the rift entrance and held it
06:43His mouth was open wide enough to swallow my head
06:45The sound still rolling out of him
06:47Bounced off every wall
06:48And came back from all directions at once
06:51He hadn't moved
06:53I stood where I was and looked at him
06:55The roar faded
06:56The rift went silent
06:57He still hadn't moved
06:58I had heard roars before
07:00The great white shark merfolk in the coral clan
07:02The whale males during mating season
07:04Those roars said
07:05I am here
07:06I am dangerous
07:06Come closer and find out
07:08This was different
07:09This roar said
07:09Go away
07:11I looked at his tail fin
07:12Even in the dark I could see it
07:13The flesh was wrong
07:14Swollen and dark
07:15Pale patches crawling through the wounds
07:17The torn fin crest was infected at its root
07:20He had been lying here a long time
07:21Too long to hunt
07:22Too long to do much of anything except wait
07:24He opened his mouth and he snapped at me again
07:27I took one step toward him
07:29The roaring stopped
07:30Gold eyes in the dark
07:31Very still
07:32Watching me cross the distance between us
07:34One step at a time
07:35I didn't stop swimming
07:37I turned and fled again
07:39I made it two strokes before I noticed something strange
07:42The sea dragon was roaring
07:44But he wasn't moving
07:45He hadn't even shifted
07:47It felt like he was just trying to scare me off
07:50Then I smelled it
07:51Rot and infection
07:53I looked closer and saw the flesh of his tail fin
07:56The wounds were deep and crawling with white
07:58The fin crest was torn at the root
08:00I stopped
08:01I turned around
08:02Hey, you're hurt
08:04I know deep sea medicine
08:05Will you let me stay?
08:07The sea dragon looked at me for a moment
08:09Then he slowly unfolded his injured tail fin toward me
08:12The wounds were bad
08:14I gagged and got to work anyway
08:16Opened my pack and found the wound powder
08:18Before I'd arrived here
08:19I'd studied tide healing and coral toxins
08:21Once I was in the coral clan
08:23That knowledge had made me the settlement's tide healer
08:25I'd treated half the coral clan at one point or another
08:28Not one of them had spoken up for me today
08:30The bitterness sat heavy in my chest as I worked
08:33When I finished, the sea dragon's aggression faded
08:35He nudged his head against my sleeve
08:37A thank you
08:38Then his stomach growled
08:39Twice
08:39He'd been injured too long to hunt
08:41He was starving
08:42I'll go find food
08:44Wait here
08:46I turned to go
08:48His tail curled around my ankle and pulled me back
08:51Then he exhaled a low temperature deep current
08:54The dragon current mark
08:56His power on my skin would keep most predators back instinctively
09:00I thought of the blue shark merfolk from earlier
09:02This sea dragon's rank had to be extraordinary
09:04That was the only explanation for that kind of deterrent effect
09:07I didn't go far
09:08I stayed close to the rift and gathered what I could find
09:10Small crustaceans
09:11Some edible reef plants
09:13By the time I got back
09:14The bioluminescence had dimmed to night cycle
09:16No fire needed
09:17The sea dragon's body put out a constant gentle warmth
09:20That filled the rift
09:21I stayed
09:21During the day I changed his bandages
09:23Foraged for water and food
09:25At night he curled around me in dragon form
09:27His body warmth wrapping me like a second skin
09:29And we slept together
09:30Half a month passed
09:31Then one day I came back to the rift and stopped dead
09:34A man lay where the sea dragon had been
09:36White hair, gold eyes
09:38You're back
09:40You're the sea dragon
09:43My name is Vayne
09:47I'm Lyra
09:49With the wounds healed Vayne could swim
09:51He couldn't do anything strenuous yet
09:52But the first time we went out together
09:54He showed me what he was made of
09:55A deep sea giant crab
09:57Under a minute
09:58He seared it with a short burst of breath
10:00And it was done
10:01That night I ate real food for the first time in weeks
10:04Crab shell crackling
10:05Fat hissing and popping from the dragon breath heat
10:08I ate until my face was greasy
10:09And asked Vayne whether he was A rank
10:11Are you A rank?
10:13No, I don't have a rank
10:15I stared at him
10:16Every male merfolk had a rank
10:17But the tide power I'd seen from him
10:19Was beyond anything the great white shark merfolk
10:22In the coral clan could manage
10:23But your tide power
10:25Vayne shook his head
10:26No rank, never had one
10:28That was why his own clan had driven him out
10:30They'd called him a monster
10:31Abandoned him as a hatchling in the dead current
10:34The memory clearly cost him something
10:36His eyes went distant and sad
10:37Born without a clan
10:39Whatever had made him this strong
10:40He'd earned it alone
10:41The hard way
10:42It doesn't matter
10:43You have me now
10:44We're friends
10:45Vayne went red
10:48Another month passed
10:49Vayne healed completely
10:50The dry tide was coming
10:51We started going out early
10:52And coming back late to stock up
10:54He hunted
10:54I gathered deep sea medicines and reef plants
10:56We came back full every time
10:58I thought maybe it would just stay like this
10:59Then Vayne's heat cycle hit
11:01I woke up one morning to find his body burning
11:03Don't leave the rift for a few days
11:05I have to go somewhere
11:07I have to go somewhere
11:08Then he took two strokes
11:09And his body gave out
11:10When he went down
11:10I saw everything
11:11I understood immediately
11:12Every merfolk had a regular heat cycle
11:14When it hit
11:15Instinct won over reason
11:16He'd already pushed himself past his limit
11:18Don't be scared
11:19I won't touch you
11:20I'll handle it myself
11:21He was fighting his own body
11:23His neck was corded with strain
11:24The sounds coming from his throat were low and desperate
11:27I watched him
11:27My chest ached
11:28Vayne
11:29Do you not want me?
11:31How could you even ask that?
11:36When his hands came up to hold me
11:38I was scared
11:38What coal had put me through had left its marks
11:41He was always rough
11:42There was no pleasure in it
11:43Only something close to endurance
11:44Vayne was stronger than coal by a wide margin
11:47I braced myself
11:48But there was no pain
11:49Vayne was gentle in a way I hadn't known was possible
11:51Like his fin crest against still water
11:53Light enough that I felt like I was floating
11:55I lost track of time
11:56When I finally noticed the world again
11:58The dry tide currents had shifted outside the rift
12:01That dry tide
12:01I was warm
12:02Vayne kept the rift heated with his body warmth
12:04When the cold currents pressed in
12:06He curled tighter
12:07At night he wrapped me in his warmth
12:09His dragon form pulled around me like a second stick
12:11After that first time
12:12He became a little enthusiastic
12:14Eye contact
12:15Next thing I knew
12:16I was against the rift wall
12:17Not that I minded
12:18He was good at it
12:19I never once wanted to pull away
12:21With that kind of frequency and no precautions
12:23It wasn't long before I noticed something different about my body
12:26I pressed two fingers to my wrist and checked my pulse
12:28Pregnant
12:30When I told Vayne he went still
12:33Really?
12:34You're really carrying my hatchling?
12:36He lifted me straight off the seabed
12:38We were both laughing
12:39After that he treated me like I was made of sea glass
12:42He was at my side constantly
12:43He insisted on doing everything himself
12:45Lying in the warmth of his arms
12:47I thought again about last time
12:48Cole was a cold current blood type merfolk
12:51In the dry tide he gave off no heat at all
12:53And he entered tide sleep
12:54While other males made sure their females were fed through the season
12:57I was out in the dead current alone
12:58Trying to find something edible
13:00My tide healing skills kept me fed
13:02Barely
13:02The merfolk I treated gave me scraps
13:04But after the ten lionfish hatchlings were born
13:06Scraps weren't enough
13:08Cole entered tide sleep
13:09He could survive on stored energy
13:11The hatchlings were too young
13:12They needed real food
13:13Constantly
13:14I foraged alone
13:15A white jellyfish
13:16Small
13:17And not built for hunting in the dry tide
13:19Who didn't dare go far
13:20I brought back small crustaceans
13:21I brought back dried reef algae
13:23The hatchlings were good
13:24All ten of them
13:25A rank
13:26And not one of them ever picked a fight and made trouble
13:28They helped with the reef den work
13:29Thinking about them my throat closed
13:31I'd failed them
13:32I hadn't kept them safe
13:34Lyra
13:35What's wrong?
13:36I wiped the corner of my eye
13:37Just homesick
13:38He went quiet
13:39Is being with me not enough?
13:40No
13:41That's not it
13:42Being with you is the best thing there is
13:44I changed the subject
13:45I'd assumed I'd never see my sister again
13:48She showed up at our rift that same night
13:50Vayne heard the sounds
13:51He went to check
13:52I heard a familiar shriek
13:53Please don't kill me
13:53Sea dragon please
13:54I came out to find my sister in the water outside the rift entrance
13:57I looked at her in the dark
13:58Lyra?
13:59Why are you here?
14:01You know her?
14:01Never seen her before
14:02Vayne's intent sharpened immediately
14:04Lyra!
14:05My sister screamed
14:05Don't let him kill me
14:07I came all this way to save you
14:09Sis!
14:10That word
14:11Sis
14:11It stopped Vayne cold
14:14He pulled back
14:15Is there a misunderstanding Lyra?
14:17I sighed
14:18I swam over to my sister
14:20What do you want?
14:21She put on her most conciliatory
14:23I talked to the clan chief
14:25He said you can come back
14:26I didn't move
14:28She pushed harder
14:29And Lyra
14:30The coral clan is in trouble
14:31Two settlements are about to go to war in a current war
14:34This whole area is going to become a battlefield
14:36You two aren't aligned with either side
14:38You'll get caught in the middle
14:39Hearing my sister's warning
14:40I remembered
14:41There had been a current war
14:42Last time
14:43But last time
14:44The war had ended because of my ten lionfish hatchlings hatching
14:48Ten A rank merfolk born at once
14:50The opposing clan
14:51The Ura
14:52Had taken one look
14:53And surrendered on the spot
14:55He was the one who declared me abyss chosen
14:57Said I carried a rare destiny
14:59That I had been sent to the coral clan as a gift from the abyss god
15:02But I had no interest in my sister's advice
15:04Vayne and I had built something real out here
15:06There was no reason to go back
15:08I told her no
15:09No
15:11She looked straight at my stomach
15:14Lyra
15:15You're pregnant aren't you?
15:16Even if you don't care about yourself
15:17Think about the child
15:19You two can live free out here for now
15:21But what about later?
15:22What about your hatchling?
15:24Do you really want to raise a child with no clan behind them?
15:26That landed
15:27This world was brutal
15:29Vayne, as strong as he was
15:30Had nearly died alone and raped
15:32What would happen when our child was born?
15:34All in the dead current was full of things that wanted to eat them
15:37I looked at Vayne
15:38He seemed to read what I was thinking
15:39He came over and took my hand
15:41Lyra
15:42Let's go back
15:43After I told my sister yes
15:45She let out a long breath
15:46Then
15:47Is there anything to eat?
15:49She ate like she hadn't seen food in weeks
15:50Her stomach was enormous
15:52But her arms and fins were thin as coral sticks
15:54She'd had it rough
15:56Not hard to guess why
15:57Cole had almost certainly entered tide sleep by now
16:00My sister had never worked hard a day in her life
16:02Nothing short of starvation would have pushed her out here
16:05After the meal she lay down in the outer part of the rift to rest
16:08Vayne folded me into his arms as usual
16:10My sister glanced over from across the rift
16:13The look on her face was pure envy
16:16In the middle of the night I got up
16:18This life and she still gets to eat like that
16:22Bonded to some rankless creature and she still got nerve to look pleased with herself
16:26She rubbed her belly
16:27Come on little ones come out fast
16:29I stood in the dark and let it wash over me
16:31Even now I couldn't fully understand where her hatred came from
16:35We were twins
16:36Before we'd ended up here
16:37Our parents died in an accident
16:39Left the two of us to figure out the world together
16:42I remembered what they'd always said
16:44You're the older one
16:45Take care of your sister
16:46So I did
16:47I gave way
16:48Every time on everything
16:49Whatever was best
16:51I let her have it
16:52Somewhere along the line
16:53She'd decided that was simply how things should be
16:56I was supposed to give her everything good
16:57I was supposed to be beneath her
16:59I wasn't allowed to have things she didn't have
17:01By the third day back in the coral clan
17:03I understood exactly why she'd worked so hard to bring me home
17:06Her due date was close
17:07She was terrified of dying on the birthing ground
17:09She needed me there
17:10I had gotten her through all three
17:12There was a second reason too
17:13She wanted me to watch
17:14She wanted me standing there when she produced 20 A rank lionfish merfolk
17:18And climbed to the top of the coral clan
17:21She wanted to see my face
17:24Life back in the coral clan wasn't easy
17:26Even with Vayne beside me
17:27Plenty of females still looked at me with hostility
17:29They didn't want me near their mates
17:30So I stayed close to the reef den
17:32I was shut out
17:33My sister meanwhile
17:34Used her memories from last time to play profit
17:36She predicted a few major clan events
17:38And a stretch of bad current accurately enough
17:40That the coral clan elevated her status considerably
17:42She told everyone she was the abyss chosen
17:44Sent by the abyss god
17:46Carrying 20 A rank merfolk
17:47The coral clan believed her completely
17:49Then the current war began
17:51Vayne was sent to the front
17:52Within days
17:53Every fighter in the coral clan
17:54Had noticed that his dragon tide power
17:56Exceeded that of the A rank great white shark merfolk
17:59By a significant margin
18:01His raw strength was in a different category altogether
18:03This world ran on tide power
18:05Strength was everything
18:06And yet
18:07Because Vayne came out unranked
18:08The great white shark merfolk
18:10Were jealous
18:10He gathered the other males
18:12And turned on Vayne
18:13They sent him alone
18:14Into a aura in the sea
18:15When the others had what they needed
18:16From the distraction
18:17They swam
18:18Left him there
18:19I didn't find out
18:19Until Vayne came back with serious wounds
18:22I went straight
18:23It's fine Lyra
18:24Vayne caught my arm
18:25Even with all of that
18:26They still couldn't touch me
18:27I came back in one piece didn't I
18:29I looked at the cuts across his body
18:31Vayne I'm sorry
18:33I shouldn't have brought you back here
18:34This place isn't right for you
18:37Let's go home
18:38Back to the rift
18:39No
18:39He was suddenly urgent
18:40If we go back you'll be homesick again
18:43We stay here
18:45As long as you and the hatchling are safe
18:46I don't care what they do to me
18:48Something cracked open in my chest
18:49I remembered what I'd said in the rift
18:51That I was homesick
18:52He'd been carrying that the entire time
18:55You're in my home
18:55He thought I meant the coral clan
18:57Let's go
18:58Just the two of us
18:59I'd almost convinced him
19:02Lyra
19:02Get to your sister's reef den
19:04She's going into labor
19:06I heard the screaming before I reached the entrance
19:08I swam inside
19:09Blood in the water
19:10The same scene as the first time
19:12Last life
19:12When she'd had her first bad labor
19:14Back then it was the great white shark
19:15Murpholk's fault
19:16His build was large
19:17The offspring inherited the size
19:18The head got stuck
19:19But lionfish eggs were soft and small
19:21They should have come out easily
19:22I got my answer fast
19:23I helped her deliver ten eggs
19:25Then I felt more inside
19:26I was reaching for the next one
19:27When my sister's body seized
19:31She's convassing
19:32Nobody here knew that word
19:33I shouted instructions
19:34They found a smooth piece of coral
19:36And pressed it between her teeth
19:37So she couldn't bite through her tongue
19:38I used the moment to pull the rest of the eggs out
19:40I counted 20 in total
19:42She passed out when it was done
19:43I mixed a tonic and got it down her throat
19:45If she makes it through tonight
19:46She'll live
19:47If she doesn't there's nothing more I can do
19:49I turned to leave
19:50Cole grabbed my wrist
19:52She's your sister
19:53You should stay and take care of her
19:54Even now
19:55Even with his female unconscious in the water
19:57From a dangerous labor
19:58He didn't want to sit with her through one night
20:01She's your mate
20:02Not mine
20:03I'm not responsible for her
20:07I've already done far more than she deserves
20:11I swam out of the reef den into open water
20:13And felt the exhaustion hit me all at once
20:15Vane was waiting outside
20:16My heart twisted
20:17What are you doing here?
20:19With wounds that bad you should be resting in the-
20:23He pulled me into his arms before I could finish
20:25His voice was rough
20:27Lyra
20:28We're not leaving
20:29I started to ask why
20:30Then I felt it
20:31Something warm and wet soaking into my shoulder
20:34I brought him back to our reef den
20:35Pushed him until he talked
20:37He cried harder
20:38Vane had been waiting outside my sister's reef den the entire time
20:41He'd heard everything
20:42He hadn't known that was what birth looked like
20:44He hadn't known it could be like that
20:46He was terrified
20:47If I went into labor out in the dead current
20:49And something went wrong
20:50There would be no one to help me
20:51I felt tears on my own face before I realized
20:54Vane
20:55Not everyone has a labor like hers
20:57Maybe mine will be easy
20:59Then we're still not leaving
21:00His voice didn't waver
21:01Even if the chance is one in a hundred
21:02I won't let you suffer
21:04I won't look back to my sister's tooth
21:06I won't let you
21:06I won't let you
21:07I won't let you
21:07You
