As Astra walked through the aquarium she felt herself being drawn to a strange exhibition. It held creatures she believed to be.... Seals. Her eyes travelled across the different seals and stopped on one particular seal. It seemed different, familiar, like... A magical creature. Astra approached it and watched them closer.

Echo was ecstatic to feel the presence of another magical creature, it didn't take long to figure out what person among the crowd it was. Echo excitedly swam as fast as she could to the other creature, normal humans ooed and snapped pictures as Echo swam closer. She barked happily, but felt more scared as human pressed against the encloser. "Please! help me! I want to go home!" She barked. She wasn't sure if she could understand, due to the fact everything she said came out as normal seal sounds, but maybe because of the shared mythical quality, she would know.

Astra's eyes widened. That was them. The magical creature. She knew what she had to do. She had to get them out. Astra put on her Valkyrie helmet, which turned her invisible to all non magic beings so she could do her job. Astra made he way into the water and stared at the seal. "Hello... You're like me?" She asked quietly.

"Well, not exactly" She barked "Not the same race, obviously, but if you're referring to the part we're mythical, then you're right" She barked. "Don't do anything now, humans get angry when people want freedom, wait until night, when it'll be easier to free me" Echo requested. She dove back down, twirling in the water and jumping in the air, doing a flip, the crowd went wild. "Please help, it's so boring here, I want to go back home" Echo begged in her seal voice.

Astra nodded, a slight frown on her face. "Yeah... I'll wait till night. Anything to help another mythical creature." In a quiet voice she muttered "Unless they're Valkyrie." Astra slid out of the water and made her way slowly out of the Aquarium.

Echo was so happy, she could finally escape. She swam in loops and circles, playing in the water, so excited to be free. Of course, she still had to wait. "I'm going to be free! I can finally leave!" She barked to the others, who just looked at her like she was stupid, but she wouldn't have to see these dumb seals anymore once she escaped, now all she had to do is wait.

The day passed by rather slowly for Astra, she wandered across the human world wondering what they dd for fun, she couldn't fly and they didn't have any of her favourite activities. So Astra was relieved when the night came. Astra slowly walked towards the aquarium, wearing her helmet to make sure no one could see her. Once she had entered, she made her way towards the seals and looked around to find the Selkie.

Echo swam to the glass, booping her nose against it, not trying to draw too much attention, but at the same time, letting the Valkyrie know she was there. Echo could sense the magical presence, she knew the Valkyrie was here, but not exactly where she was.

Astra noticed the Selkie immediately and whispered "Okay... I'm coming in." Before getting into the water. Astra swam towards the Selkie. "Okay, I'm going to get you out now." Astra's arms wrapped around the seal, although she felt kind of awkward knowing it was actually a mythical creature.

"Thank you" She barked quietly, not wanting to awaken the other seals. "Just get me to the nearest ocean, I might be able to find a Selkie link in the ocean, since, well, y'know, we can only get home through links to our own world" Echo requested. "Though I've heard rumors from a few other Selkies that passed through here that humans have their own links to our world, but can't use them because they don't have the proper qualities, but they still have link objects to open portals." Echo explained. Before she was captures she knew a few other Selkies in her group, and some human form Selkies, who chose the 7 year married life, who told her those kinds of things.
