Somewhere beneath the water surface of the Eathrun Ocean, a group of land beings stood out from the sea creatures.
Accompanied by the instructors, Theo and the others had just submerged below the ocean. And they were immediately dumbfounded by what they saw underwater.
The ocean was shallow where they were, it had a max depth of 30 meters. It was a sunny day with few clouds in the sky. As was said before, the waters around the Kokoro Islands were crystalline and calm.
This meant that all necessary conditions for them to have a clear underwater sight were in place.
And what a sight!
The ocean floor was glistening with colorful corals that seemed to form a natural mosaic.
Blinking between the coral reefs they were able to see a silver-colored fish glistening and shining.
This was the starry fish!
The starry fish was a silverfish that had protrusions all over its body, these protrusions would blink every now and then just like the stars on a dark night. That's why they were called like that.
Above the colorful coral reefs with the starry fish, dozens of jellyfish could be seen. Their peculiar movement actions made them look like they were floating in the sky, but it was just an illusion.
As these creatures moved around, Theo and the others were able to see why they were called Rainbow Jellyfish.
Rainbows trails were formed whenever they moved, it seemed so magical!
Imagine a land covered in the most beautiful colors with troves of fish blinking here and there like the stars. Imagine a crystalline sky filled with rainbows instead of stars, and beautiful creatures that seemed to float and fly beautifully.
This was what they saw.
Theo and the others were mesmerized by this scene.
They never imagined that such a magical scene could exist in the world.
The beauty and magic of the place seemed so blinding that image seemed to burn their eyes to imprint this view into their minds.
They just stayed there without moving for a while as they just enjoyed the scene.
It was only after a while that the instructors gave them the signal to follow them.
They learned that they had to always listen to the instructors, so they immediately followed them.
They moved their legs just like Matue taught them and swam after the instructors.
There was some equipment that they all had to wear, and the flippers or swimfins were one of them. This equipment was basically a piece of equipment to support their underwater movement. They were worn at their feet and each time they flapped their feet, they would move much further than when they didn't wear this equipment.
Just like that, Theo and the others slowly followed the instructors toward the Rainbow Jellyfish.
This particular jellyfish did not have an electrical element, their form of protection was little protrusions that shot a venom. But these creatures were so docile that it was extremely rare to see them attack.
That's why it was absolutely safe for them to swim among them.
Soon after, Theo and the others found themselves among a forest of rainbows.
They never thought that they could speak these two words in the same phrase one day.
A forest of rainbows!
The scene was so surreal that they questioned themselves if it was happening for real.
Theo extended his hand and his fingers passed through a rainbow.
'Magical' Theo dreamily thought as felt the rainbow.
And it wasn't only him that was having the same thought.
Aurora's purple eyes seemed to shine as she felt something like she never felt before.
The others explored the forest of rainbows made by the Rainbow Jellyfish with the help of the instructors.
Some of them even were even brave enough to touch the jellyfish.
Theo gently poked the squish jellyfish and smiled happily.
These little guys were so cute!
The jellyfish seemed to like Theo because after he made contact with her, she started to swim around Theo, and this action made him look like has in a vortex of rainbows.
The others were amazed when they saw this scene, but they were a little envious as well.
They also wanted to make friends with a jellyfish!
So, they all decided to gently pat the jellyfish.
Some of them were successful on their first try, while others had to make contact with other jellyfish.
But at the end of it, they all had made friends with a jellyfish, and the jellyfish expressed their fondness by swimming and following wherever they went.
Before they dove down the waters, everyone was briefed by Matue that they could make contact with the jellyfish without fear. They just had to avoid treating them rashly.
That's why everyone was extremely gentle with them.
Just like that, Theo and the others had the time of their lives as they played with the magical jellyfish.
While they had fun, they even had time to take pictures and videos of the magical view in front of them.
They wanted to remember this place forever, and pictures and videos would help them with this task.
There was even an instructor with a professional camera recording the whole event.
Shortly, they would regret not taking uncountable pictures and videos of this adventure.
After they played with jellyfish for a good while, they saw Matue calling them to follow him.
Without any hesitation, they followed him again. This time they were diving a little deeper to observe the starry fish. But only a few meters tho.
As they slowly dove deeper, their pet jellyfish followed them as well.
Their magical rainbow seemed like a bridge connecting them to the ocean floor.
Theo felt like he was traveling on the Bifrost (The magical rainbow bridge of Nordic Mythology.)
After they dove for a few meters, they were able to have a closer look at the starry fish.
As the fish was too close to the coral reefs, they couldn't get closer to them. As amateurs divers, the coral reefs were too dangerous for them.
That's why Matue brought some fish food to attract some starry fish upwards.
Soon after Matue threw the fish food, Theo and the others were able to see around a dozen Starry Fish swimming toward them. And as they swam, they felt like stars were moving as these fish moved.
It was so magical.
When the fish arrived next to them, they felt like they were as magical as the jellyfish.
With the help of the instructors, they were even able to feed these fish.
It was a magical moment they would never forget in their lives.
The time they were surrounded by rainbows and stars.
