She would feel well-rested by the time Chordata awakened in Ialu, a place even she only accesses in dreams. Perhaps it would be familiar from the days of her infancy, but that was highly unlikely, as the child was very young when she was last conscious in that world. The area she entered would normally be highly occupied, but thanks to the nature of this meeting, it was almost vacant, holding onto two forms in the dim light. What there was of light was cast by two orbiting moons, both relatively small in size. Their light was reflected in the ripples of the lake that both Senka were seated beside.
Although humans never quite see Ialu clearly, young Eilian children can see every part in crystalline detail, and Chordata would be no exception to this rule. Upon awakening, the young Senka would find herself already in the child body that her physical self was growing into as she slept, wearing her favourite clothing. It would take a moment before everything was in focus, and the moments would seem like a dream even while it all was. At times, the river running away from the lake would suddenly start flowing backwards, or in the blink of an eye would have widened as though it had aged a hundred years. Trees would turn from saplings to skyscrapers and back again, grass growing and dying and blooming all at once. Such is the appearance of a broken timestream. Even those living there seemed to be occasionally afflicted by the issue.
Despite any sense of free-will or curiosity, the young girl would feel immediately drawn to one certain area, particularly toward the two Senka who sat beside the lake. She would approach whether she desired to or not, and would therein be surprised by what she saw. Or perhaps not.
"Do we really have to wait here all night?" Shekinah murmured into the night air, chewing idly on a toothpick, gazing up at the slowly moving twin moons in their sky. The Senka looked younger than she likely was, though whether that was a trick of the light or time, it was hard to tell. Her blue lips sucked idly at the toothpick in her mouth and the patches of scales across her skin caught the moonlight in a very complimentary way. Her silver eyes locked onto the fishy form in the water and she flicked her veiled tail, waiting for an answer to her question.
"Patience, dear, patience," Sasha said lethargically from the water, her pointed nose just peeking into the cool night air. A slow smile spread across her teal-scaled face, amused in part by her mate's impatience. She knit her fingers together, letting her arm-fins spread out along the water's edge. "I hear this is quite the difficult process. She'll come when she comes, and not a moment longer." Still, even as she said this, Sasha's blue eyes scanned the landscape anxiously, and was unable to keep from puffing up every few minutes. The wait was killing her, too.
[[ As you may or may not have guessed, the fishy Senka and the fishy half-Senka are Chordata's parents. Also, try your best to give as much detail about what she looks like, how she's dressed, and what she's dressed in, as this is the official growth roleplay, and I'd like to get as close as possible. Even use links if you really want, anything's allowed as long as it'll help with her growth. ]]

As soon as she arrived, she knew something was different about herself. She felt stronger in a way, and just by looking at her hands, she could see that she had more scales then she used to as she watched them almost glitter in the moonlight of this place. The fins on her legs were longer, as well as the ones on her arms. How very strange. The people grasped her attention next. Without her typical hesitation, as if she knew them somewhere deep within herself, she walked toward them and the lake, looking them over with great interest. Who were they? Where was she? And why did she have the slightest feeling that this was all, familiar? Before actual greetings were exchanged, she caught her reflection in the waters of the lake, and she had to stop. She was different looking, wearing Blue camo cargo shorts, a tight fitting white tanktop, and some flipflops. How did she not notice this before? The outfit felt comfortable, and at once she was fond of it. The fins that made her hair of sorts were still extremely long, though they seemed to be gently pulled back like one would wear a pony tail, with her bang fins still there and in place. "Where am I?" she asked aloud, surprised yet not by her newer, older sounding voice, before looking at the two who were there, expecting an answer.

As soon as Chordata appeared, Sasha sat up a little more, her entire head poking out of the stream. This much effort was saying something for the lackadaisical Senka, and her small human lungs worked their hardest to keep her breathing as she reached up to lay a hand on Shekinah's foot. "Oh, oh, look, dear, there she is! Oh, isn't she precious?" Puffing up with glee, Sasha swam briskly across to where her daughter stood, teal eyes shining. "You're in Ialu, darling. A, uh..." Sasha was forced to pause in her rant, trying to find the right words before calling over her shoulder to her mate. "Dearest, can you help me out here?"
Shekinah's attention, too, was perked when the young fish girl appeared, finned ears perking up at the sound of her feet on the grass. The Senka pulled the toothpick out of her mouth in the way one would normally handle a cigarette, dropping it to the ground and trying to avert her eyes, well-knowing that staring as gapingly as she was at the girl wasn't going to be the best way to make a good impression on her.
Dusting off her hands in a nervous gesture, she smiled over at the girl who'd entered into their little lake, tail continuing to twitch nervously. The woman gave a nod to her mate and took a deep breath before trying to explain. "Ialu... it's..." she laughed at the only description to come to mind, shaking her head a bit, but knowing no other way to explain herself. "It's like an imaginary world, but... it's real." Geez, talking to kids was hard. "All of the Eilians, like you and me and your mother, were sent here a while ago. It's like an imaginary little box that is invisible from the outside, but not from the inside... am I making any sense?"

Chordata looked at the two females, trying to make sense on what they were trying to tell her. Real but not? Wait...did she hear what she thought she heard?
"You two are my parents?" she asked, shocked by this. As she looked at herself, or at least the parts that she could, she could easily see the both of them in her.
"Why aren't you raising me then? Why am I not living here instead of...where I am?" She was confused, so confused...
