Athena smiled in her large orca form as she swam through Sitria. Twenty-one people. in just ten years Sitria had grown to twenty-one people. They'd had their first wedding, their first child, and Freya was due to have her child any day now. The council was full, and the only ranks they were lacking in was hunters, apprentices, testers, and elders. Though one could argue that the Landlocked were few in number, Senzo still being the only one, but Athena could just argue right back that Sitria was an oceanic village. Their landlocked numbers were never meant to be large.
Little Lola was already a year old, and swimming alongside her parents. Athena had granted Aiden a while more off of his duties, so he could spend time with the young fishkin. She'd also left Pike and Kamryn out of duties for the next few weeks, knowing it wouldn't do any good to have the two out in the ocean while their wife was here and heavily pregnant.
Glancing up at a dark shadow swimming above her, Athena watched as Euphrasia led Skylar, Mason, and Rafael out to go gathering. Mason was one of the new villagers that had joined Sitria in the past year. He was a merman who had joined with his best friend, a naiad named Gloria. At first, Athena had thought there was something between the two, but after speaking to them about it, she learned that the two had sworn to protect each others lives, and would never marry each other.
Smiling again, Athena swam lower. She'd taken a short trip to the marketplace of the gods several weeks ago, and had picked out a large safe cage from the gods, one that included a baby Sea Serpent. Athena wasn't really sure why she'd picked a sea serpent, she just...well, frankly she just wanted one. Who didn't want a sea serpent?
They were going to open it in a few days, after it had settled into the scents and sound of the village, and recognized that no one there was going to hurt it.

Freya hummed as she rested her head on Pike's lap. The red and black skinned siren had his arms wrapped around her, and her legs were resting on Kamryn's lap, the naiad had her hands resting gently on Freya's stomach, and she was cooing to their unborn child. "What do you think they'll be?" Freya asked, lifting a hand to trail it through Kamryn's dark hair. "Boy, girl, siren, naiad, powered like myself?"
"Whatever they are," Pike rumbled, kissing the top of her head "They will be perfect, just as the two of you are."
Kamryn trilled, her face flushing blue slightly as she leans her head on Freya's stomach. Freya continued to run her yellow fingers through her wife's hair. Settling her head back on her husband's stomach, the pregnant woman sighed happily.
Could life get any better than this?
quench the fire of death
The cage was finally being opened. Athena watched as Skylar, Alex, and Elena swam forward. The three humanoids of the council swam to the large cage in the center of the circle of villagers. Everyone was there, except of course, Senzo. The fae could be informed of the sea serpents arrival later in the week, when Athena went to check and make sure she was still there. (And though she wouldn't admit it, Athena did like being able to converse with her human vocal chords)
Pulling the string at the top of the cage, the three councilors ensured that the cage was opening, before swimming away to join the circle.
Every Sitrian stood in the circle, even little Lola was there, clinging tightly to her mother's side. The cage fell away to reveal a large shimmering green egg. The cage had been magicked to be light as a feather while they carried it, something Athena was extremely grateful for, now that she was seeing the size of the egg. It was mostly cracked, but it had been placed in stasis. Now that the cage was opened, the hatching would complete.
The egg rattled, and then exploded, eggshell flying everywhere as a green mass unfurled. The serpent was long, almost as long as Athena's orca form, and its scales were a shimmering green/blue. The serpent had large gold eyes, which it...she used to peer out at the circle of villagers. The sea serpent let out a soft crooning noise as it slowly unfolded its long, ribbon-like body.
Athena stared at it through large black eyes. The sea serpent was a creature of beauty, whoever she decided to imprint on would surely be lucky.
Then the creature's golden eyes locked onto her own. The sea serpent kicked its stubby hind legs, body weaving as it moved through the water. She sniffed at Athena, crooned again, and chirruped. She pressed her long snout to Athena's large one, and Athena blinked, unsure what to do.
The creature beamed, and swam in an uneasy circle, claws kicking as she crooned to Athena. The head chief, still partially frozen, realized she was going to have to come up with a name for the large hatchling.
And also probably keep her away from the nursery, Freya and Isa would not take kindly to their children being eaten by a baby sea serpent who didn't know any better.
