Okay, I totes thought that the idea that you had in your original post was fantastic, but this?

There's also magic that helps them breathe underwater probably. Gotta research what demons would be Nyi Roro Kidul's minions. I'll probably throw in sea snakes. And who is the Tumnus character? Maybe Hanuman the monkey god? Maybe I'm only thinking that because they are both half-human and furry. And maybe IndoLucy is like, "But what about flowers and trees? If you drown the world, you won't have them!" But then Nyi Roro Kidul shows her the kelp forests and the coral canyons and the sea anemones and it's all such a riot of color (OMG WHEN I GO SNORKELING LATER THIS MONTH I SHOULD TAKE NOTE), and everything is so beautiful and Lucy is almost convinced.

"Life begins in the sea, small one," says the Sea Queen, "and it will end in the sea."


THIS IS EVEN BETTER. And fuck people who can't deal with the names. I mispronounce names all the goddamn time, even ones that are English in origin. I still enjoy stories with names I that when I try to say them people look at me like ...NO.

Also I took and TA'ed Marine Biology, and now I wish to live vicariously through your snorkeling. Take lots and lots of pictures!
