This began with my family and I on a long boat (two people across, 20 people back, ish) on a trip to begin whale watching while my dad talked about how he used to run this tour. Within 10 minutes there was a incredibly long orca whale swimming in front of the boat, even stopping and letting me (at the very front of the boat) to touch it before diving deep in the ocean. We were able to find another three or four whales within 30 minutes and the tour guide commented how odd it was to even find one. Once we were far enough away from the coast that we couldn't see it anymore there was a splash and a guy had dove out of the boat and was swimming downwards. Almost simultaneously myself, an average girl, a guy that was similar to the action heroes of zombie movies, and a tall elf-like man (who was still human, but that's the best way I could describe his figure) dove after the first man who just kept swimming deeper and deeper.
Once we got far enough we realized we had no issue breathing underwater and the pressure wasn't affecting us. We approached a colony that was kinda reminiscent of the Little Mermaid and noticed other people swimming around observing these bright green patches. We swam up to these people and asked what they were doing and they told us that they were farming patches of baby krill because some man was going around and killing patches of the ocean floor and these baby krill could help heal the patches if they were placed in the center. The elf-man described the man who had jumped off our boat and these people confirmed that that was the guy attacking the ocean and gave us a vague direction for where to find him.
My mind skipped to the four of us finding the man and beating him while swimming back to shore, however it was a different shore than we originally took off from. When we defeated the man he apparently lost his ability to breathe underwater and by the time we got up there he was dead. We dropped off his body anonymously at a local police station, I called my family, and we went to research where in the world we ended up.
We found an inn where the innkeeper put us up for the night but we had to stay in the kitchen because all the rooms were full. We were happy enough to have a place to sleep and eat that we didn't care and just passed out, the elf-man falling asleep in the bathtub because it was most comfortable for him.
The innkeeper woke us up abruptly at around 3 in the morning telling us that two threatening men were looking for us and it didn't look good at all. We had to hurry out, making her promise to hide the elf-man who we couldn't get to and gave her a rendezvous point so we could find him again. The three of us ran out the door just as the two men came running into the kitchen and saw us leaving. We though the city, which appeared to be a semi-deserted Rome, with a population of only about a thousand I'm guessing and bobbed and weaved around buildings to try to throw them off our tail before hopping over this wall and onto a grassy patch where we pressed ourselves against the wall and waited and listened for the two men to pass. Once they, FINALLY, did we had to discuss a plan to figure out what to do now once we met up with elf-man again, as they were clearly after us for taking care of the guy in the ocean and we stumbled into something we probably shouldn't have.
Then I woke up.
