The train started to drown on the deep water. The light on the windows was darkening and fishs were becoming rarer. I think it was weird that nobody cares about what was going on around us. Well, it’s true that it was my first time on an underwater train but what was under our eyes was so incredible that I didn’t understand why almost everybody around me doesn’t seemed to have any interest on the view. Maybe they was used to it, I don’t know.
The fairy that was seating accross me was very small and cute. She was reading a book while emetting a yellow light. She had long curly red hair, blue eyes and freekles. Exactly my type. I spend a few hours wondering if I should give her my number or if it was inapropriate as she was not of the same species as me. Futhermore she was very immersed in her book so I choose to wait for a better moment to ask her out.
My gaze was wondering among the passengers of the train. Some were sleeping, others was reading or working. The few children that was there were playing bugako or nioni. The first one is a card game. It is a very simple one once you get the rules. You have to draw eight cards per person then you put the rest on the center of the table and draw a card, face open for everyone to see and put it face hidden on the table. Every player draw three cards like this and keep them on display behind them face hidden. Those card would be played last. Before the party start you could change them with the one in your hand. Some of these cards had special abilities. You will have to draw a card if you can’t play or had misplayed. The game end when a player doesn’t have card anymore.
The second one is a hands play that similar to noapok but in a simplier version.
The train was segmented on different types of wagons. Mine was designed for forest species. The ceiling was an imitation of the canopea and the walls was of a dark shade of green. Seats were made out of leather and was very comfortable. The place used to stock lugages was a savant agencement of wood and leafs. The light come from luminescent insects traped in jar made of glass.
The next wagon was for cave’s species. Walls and seat was from one tailled piece of rock. Light was made by gemstones that imitate magma. There was a lot of cave’s dwarfs and werewolfs. A few underground fairies was sitting on the upper part of the wagon, leisuring close to gemstones that was producing warm.
Two compartiments from us, there was a human’s wagon. A perfect replica of train from the nineteenth century on earth.
Finally, three railcars was dedicated for underwater species. One for rivers and lakes with seats made of seaweeds and rocks. And the others two for marine’s peoples. I am pretty sure that they were mermaids and tritons that was travelling with us but land-based species can’t go on this part of the train. So we were only making gess about what was with us. Maybe whales sub-species, who know.
I was caught in my thoughts. Wondering where was the stops for the submarine people. Where were they going. What they were doing for a living and a lot of other things. I was also secretly cathing glipse of the beautiful fairy accross me when I falled in deep slumber. Lulled by the train's rollers.
A huge sound wake me up. I wasn’t
on the submarine train anymore, the fairy and everyone else had dissapear. I
was so lost as I was in the water. The pressure was extremely strong as we were very deep under water. there was no light, everything was dark. I was slowly dying since my lungs was getting crush by the lack of oxygen and the pressure. The only thought that I had gathered before I died was that the train had derailed.
The End.
