dear diary
its been almost 415 days, 17 hours , and 34 mintues
since everyone left .
the temples are still empty.
the seaweed holds no hiding children like it used to.
The golden statue is untended. even now it begins to show
signs of algea.
but i try my best ot clean it off.

its eerie. the city was never meant to be so empty. dark things have invaded the shadowed remains. dark things from the depths of childrens night terrors.
as long as i keep swimming near the shallow water near the edges of the Acropolis, the creatures stay away.
i think its the light that frightens them.

a strange creature swam overhead today. it had a smooth white body, with grooves. i thought it was a small whale at first.
but nothing ever swims through here anymore. even on th surface. i dont think birds fly over either.

i swam out of the seaweed i had took refuge in, looking at the strange thing. a thick trail of bubbles were rising to the surface just behind it, and the most awful humming thumping sound was emitting from it. it stopped though.

something fell into the water from it.i dont quite know what it was. from my distance, it reminded me of a seal, only with longer flippers.
i got closer, testing the water around this ..this thing. what if it was one of the creatures? somehow unafraid of light?
i suddenly felt very afraid.
but..my curiousity outstood my fear. which is probally why im alone here anyway.

i swam behind this creature. it had a hairy tail, that was floating hazily behind it. it had ears like mine, and from what i saw, its front paws were like mine to. only it was incased in a strange blubber skin material.
every few seconds bubbles would burth from its muzzle, leaving ghostly scattered trails up to the surface.

i swam around to face the creature. i found it funny how so many bubbles could burst from its face at one time, and it kicked wildly , and i think in fear, as it swam away from me, lookin back to check if i was following.

i did follow it. i playfully swam around it, poking it, to test if it would poke back. it just kept swimming, never turning its back to me, pirouetteing in the water.
i grabbed it by , what i think are its shoulders, and held it firmly after some time.
i saw its face.and its eyes. such wonderful green eyes.
they were behind a invisible sheet of air, that was hard and unmoving, as my pokes had failed to pop it or move it.

after a while, i plyed the funny air mask away from its face. it opened its eyes every few seconds, before closing them again.
i leaned forward , and rubbed my muzzle against its forehead.


the details are for another day diary, but ill tell you this.

i don't think ill be alone anymore.
