Adventure
The Aquarium
There are these two young fish swimming along, and they happen to meet an older fish swimming the other way, who nods at them and says, “Morning, boys. How’s the water?” And the two young fish swim on for a bit, and then eventually one of them looks over at the other and goes, “What the hell is water?”

Unwanted Legacies
The Aquarium was unremarkable, all things considered. Young children ran and laughed and dared each other to get close to the exhibits. Older children and adolescents alternated between staring at their technological devices and fancying themselves above it all, only dragged along because their parents didn't trust them to remain home alone. Some adults tried to wrangle their young into submission, while others internally debated if this had really been the best choice of location for a date, and a rare few tried to ignore the chaos around them, focused on the beings that swum endlessly in the confined waters.

Ben
Meet Ben The little girl watched with deep interest as the fish swam from one end of the tank to the other. She followed the fish back and forth, both enjoying themselves immensely.

The fish was quite pleased with himself and began swimming in a figure eight pattern. The girl cheered some more.

The Tale of the Sacred Waters
Rollting has been thinking about the event coming up tonight all day. Even though Moonlight was talking to him continuously throughout the day, he could barely hear a word of what he said. He was distracted. He did not even pay attention to Fiona swimming around him with her beautiful bright orange and yellow colors. Normally, he would chase after her. Not today. Rollting had too much on his mind. He did not even stop by the front of the aquarium to show off his beautiful green and yellow colors to the school kids when they came by today. Normally he would be slowly swimming back and forth and hear the amazement from the children:
