I swam over to an empty spot where no Merfolk floated. My grimoire sluggishly moved through the water to float in the space where the portal will be. It opened and the pages slowly turned, causing some of the purple magic to drift with the current the movement was making. Eventually it made it to the page and with a mental push, runes circled around the grimoire on the lake bed. Then runes started to appear in the water itself, creating an arch around the grimoire. With one last push of magic, the spell completed and the arch flashed brightly. When the portal dimmed, the image of the new lake bed with its vibrant wildlife showed. Lightly warmer water started to come through the portal and considering I was still able to swim and breath easily meant there wasn’t too much of a disturbance by it. The astonished cries from behind me was heartwarming; it sounded like their new home.
