The officer had a tablet of stone in his hands.

"We are gathered here today, to kill the traitor, Miss Agua. She has worked as a double spy for a month now. Telling the Sky's where we were going to attack them. The executioner will be Neima Agua, her daughter. This will be a sign of her loyalty. You may go now." the officer nodded and pushed Neima forward when she didn't swim forward. It seemed that all the air bubbles disappeared and all the eyes stared at her.

Neima walked into the arena where her mother was chained down to the floor. She didn't even try to escape.

Neima grabbed her mother's hand when she reached the center and lifted her whole body up.

She couldn't bear to look at her mother. The look of would kill Neima faster than she could kill her. Her mother grabbed back, it was like when someone is in a coma and they squeeze someone's hand to tell them that they are still alive. She finally looked at her mothers face. Neima could tell that her mother's eyes were watery. Salty water mixed into the already salty ocean.

Neima held out her dagger into the air to show the crowd. It was sharpened just a bit earlier. It caught the only light in the small underwater cave.

The balde went down and her mother yelled out.

Again and again, the knife went down against the traitor's skin. Every time receiving a scream of pain.

After a while the spectators could practically see the traitor's ghost floating up, but she was still in the body.

"Neima," her mother grabbed her arm once more.

"It's going to be okay. I'll see you on Earth." she said, her voice barely audible.

One more slash and she would be dead.

"I'll see you on Earth."

The traitor's head dropped to the floor then next her body. An eruption of claps and praises surrounded Neima. She felt trapped, alone in the center of the arena. She didn't want to hear praise. She felt as if the Seas were mocking her. She wanted to yell at them to shut up but remained quiet and looked at the weapon that she used to kill her own mother.

Maybe they could see each other on Earth a lot sooner.
