The human was amazed as he looked around the beautiful sceneries of the sea around himself. It wasn't like, this was his first time diving into the depth of the seas, but that was actually the first time he had decided to go this deep, trusting himself that his oxygen tank would have enough amount of oxygen to sustain himself.

Seemingly, he was a young adult around 22 years old, and had the height a little taller than 5 feet, had an average good looking physique i.e. neither so fat, nor so skinny, and from what could clearly be seen of his face behind his mask he had no facial hairs, whatsoever.

At the moment, he was observing a coral reef which seemed to spread to as many many yards and inhibit so many creatures of different colors and features. It seemed to be truly a miracle of nature.

As he looked about, however, he saw what seemed to be the tentacles of an octopus just disappeared from within a small forest of kelp nearby. However, it had been slow and almost deliberate, as if calling to the human and beckoning to come closer. The human seemed curious and decided to go there mostly out of curiosity but also because he felt an almost overwhelming urge to go there and check things out.

The kelp parted easily before him, revealing a small secluded area clear of kelp; like an underwater forest clearing. However, the creature he had seen wasn't anywhere to be seen...

Even though a part of him wanted to back off and return to the surface his curiosity was dominant over all his other senses, and he decided to explore some more to look for the creature, at the moment not caring about the consequences of the possibility of his oxygen supply not being enough.

As he looked about, something suddenly wrapped around him from behind in a kind of hug-like embrace, but sudden enough that it was appropriate for him to start to freak out a bit. Especially when octopus tentacles started to wrap around his arms and legs, keeping him immobile. He struggled until the face of the creature came up in front of him, and it made his jaw almost drop. It was the face of an Equestrian pony, bright red in color with a curled up green mane and yellow eyes. Around the neck of the creature was a pearl necklace and on her flank was a pink starfish next to a large pearl. But what really baffled him was that instead of hind legs, she had the eight tentacles of an octopus, which were currently wrapped around his form in various places to keep him from moving. She gave him a sideways smile, almost teasing or... flirting?

"What's this?" he heard a female's voice come from her even as her lips- or what counted for equines- started moving. "A human diver caught off his guard?"

The human was too baffled no words came out of his mouth at the moment and he had already figured that his attempts to try and escape would be futile at this point, so he could only pray that this creature wouldn't try to kill him for approaching its- err... her territory. "Let me go, please," he said, almost pleadingly, suddenly more than aware that his oxygen was running low every passing second.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Did I scare you?" the octo-pony asked him, and while her smile still remained, it sounded like she was genuinely concerned.

The human gave a small nod and even though her concern did assure him a little, but still he was unable to feel fully comfortable with his situation. "...I'm also running low on my oxygen supply," he murmured to her, and hoping that she'd at least care enough to not let him die like this.

"Oh... maybe I can help..." the pony suggested. "That is... if you're willing to kiss an Octine."

"Huh?" the human was dumbfounded at this for the moment. "What do you... mean?"

"Have you ever heard the rumor about kissing a mermaid or an Octine?" she asked him. "Well, I can assure you; it's all true. No need to go up to the surface to breathe." She then gave a frown, which made her look cute. "However, that mask may prove difficult in that regard."

The human had been seemingly thoughtful for the moment before he seemed almost convinced of what she was trying to say, besides, he had not much options here as far as he knew, and he for some reason her sound was making him feel a little more safer around her now. "Okay... you may remove the mask..."

The Octine smiled again, and then two more tentacles gently moved up and he felt the mask loosen, then fully be released. The rush of water against his face was a bit shocking, but not as shocking as the soft sensation of a pair of lips pressing against his own a moment later.

The shock started to die down as the comfort started to come over him and he closed his eyes as his muscles relaxed fully as he gave in the kiss.

The Octine seemed to get comfortable with it too, but only for a moment before she pulled away from it and looked to him with a smirk.

"Now, take a deep breath," she instructed.

The human nodded and took a deep breath but to his surprise he was able to breath underwater now, that was so surprising he almost couldn't believe this. "I... I am still breathing..."

"See? I wouldn't lie to such a unique specimen over the matter," she said, keeping the smile on her face. Her tentacles hadn't left where she had gripped him all the while, and if anything seemed to be slightly taunting or teasing him with their strength, as if daring him to try and escape or just to prove that he was at her mercy.

"Thanks," the human managed at this, and even though he had developed a form of trust for her for the reason that she didn't let him die, but was also feeling a little uncertain of the situation.
But that uncertainty was not as overwhelming as the a form of security and comfort he was feeling with her presence regardless of the situation.

The Octine seemed to notice this and gave a small smirk.
"So trusting so soon?" she asked, while one of her tentacles brushed his cheek, which was slightly creepy in some regards. "I've heard that humans can be gullible around females, but to see it for myself..."

The shock started to die down as the comfort started to come over him and he closed his eyes as his muscles relaxed fully as he gave in the kiss. "It's just... I'm glad that I'm still living..."

"Living?" the Octine gave a cute giggle. "For all you know, I could still kill you." Her smirk then returned as he felt her tentacles... massaging him? "But then why go through the trouble of keeping you from drowning?"

"So... what for," he asked timidly, sighing as he felt his tentacles running across his form, and mixed feelings of concern and reassurance came over him.

"That depends on you," the Octine replied, moving her lips sensually close to his ear and whispering. "How content are you with what I may have planned, should you already be guessing it? I prefer it better if those captive in my tentacles are willing."

The human gave this a thought and that didn't took him long to realize her intentions. Then taking a gulp he gave her a reasonable answer. "It's not like I'm declining your offer... but won't that be rushing things too much... I mean, we just met and we didn't know each other very well..."

The Octine's eyes flashed with disappointment, but also with the gleam of understanding.
"Guess there's still some faith left in humanity after all," she joked. "Very well. What shall I do to make this better for you, human? Or do you have a name?"

"I do have a name," the human nodded slightly with a hint of obviousness in his tone. "...you can call me Michael."

"Michael, huh? A fitting name..." the Octine smiled again as one of her tentacles somehow managed to slip into his suit just on his shoulder for now. "They call me Scyla. A name I'm sure you'll come to remember."

Michael nodded at this, finally managing a genuine smile at this. "It's... nice to meet you, Scyla."

"Likewise. So tell me, what's a lovely specimen like you doing in my neck of the ocean?" She asked him, a bit curious in her tone. Well, she was half-octopus after all.

"I think sights under the ocean look beautiful..." Michael replied her, as sincere in his tone as he could be. "I was just checking... whether I find something new today..."

"Well, you have. Or I should say, she found you," Scyla teased.

"Yeah," he blushed once again at this, couldn't help but chuckle slightly at the irony of his statement. "I honestly don't feel that unhappy about this... given I'll be alright around you... or in your tentacles I suppose..."

"Oh? You're comfortable already?" Scyla asked him with an interested expression, then winked. "Well, I can always make you more comfortable if you'd like..."

"That sounds... nice," the human replied her with a nod. Even though he said this, it still made him rethink of himself and his situation once again, but at the end he found himself helplessly obliging to the beautiful and mystical creature in front of him. Octine had to giggle.

"You show surprising resistance to my charms," she remarked truthfully. Octines were known to be mind controlling or at the least having a natural charm that attracted others. Oh, she wasn't intent on raping him like some of her less-friendly kind might do, but she was still aware that the mind of this human wouldn't exactly be unaffected either.

"Whatever you do, try not to fall asleep just yet," she teased, managing to wiggle another tentacle through his suit, this time on his chest. "I don't want to seem like I'm taking advantage of you while you're passed out from fatigue."

"... alright, I won't fall asleep," Michael gave a nod at this, sighing seemingly with comfort as she caressed her tentacle across his chest.

The Octine gave yet another smirk as he noticed that the tentacles that had been holding him down were now releasing him, only to slip through into his suit from wherever there was an opening for her, and resting them in various areas around his body while her forelegs locked themselves around the back of his neck. Some of the areas her tentacles rested were teasingly close to places that made the human blush to even think about.

"Hmm... Oh," he felt a little more relaxed as she released his arms and legs and that was clearly a sign that she was becoming enough trustful of him, and blushed at the same time at her teasing gestures. It would be an opening for him to do something to escape from her grip, only he didn't want to escape anymore, so much so that idea had left his mind long ago.

"It feels nice..."

A sighed of comfort was made by him, as he wrapped his arms around gently around the back of her neck as well, smiling at her a little shyly and slightly confusedly.

"I see that you are puzzled. Is this your first time with a female?" Scyla asked him. "Are you a virgin?"

"Hmm...yeah," Michelle replied her with a nod, blushing a little deeply at this and then added in a little timid tone. "...It doesn't help either that my first is going to be a, beautiful mare who's part sea monster..."

"A sea monster who has had experience," she added, then with a tone of genuine concern and understanding, "I understand. It doesn't have to be so quick. If you ever feel like we should stop whatever we are doing, you are free to tell me darling."

"...alright," Michael nodded at this, feeling a bit of utter relief coming over him at this.

Scyla smiled again, then with her tentacles started to massage and rub at his form within the suit with her tentacles. It probably would have been a little creepy still if he could see them, but at the moment they felt absolutely heavenly on Michael's skin.

"Hmm," the human sighed as to return he started to caress her delicate coat and stroke her soft mane, and softly asked her. "...is this okay?"

The Octine didn't answer right away, for her eyes were closed in bliss and she let out a happy sigh. To be honest, she was surprised to have noticed him doing such affections, but it was enjoyable, nonetheless. Humans, she could agree, were the best at pleasing.

"I... don't know what you're doing..." she finally said, eyes still closed. "...but don't stop..."

"Mhmm... as you wish," he nodded carrying on with his affections, a little surprised that she would feel that much pleased by his gestures, but glad that she did.

Scyla smiled, then sighed again as his hands ran through her coat and mane once more while she continued her own massages.

Michael smiled at her in return at this as he closed their embrace slightly and became a little more passionate in his affectionate gestures, and sighed with pleasure. "It's... more wonderful than I expected..."

"Hmm... I think I should take that as a compliment, considering that you're the first human to fall into my clutches," Scyla remarked seductively, and Michael felt one of her tentacles brush teasingly close to his waistline under the suit. "To be honest... I'm a little curious as to how different your anatomy is from others I've met."

"Oh," Michael made a small gasp of bliss at this, he blushed once again as his ecstasy rose more and more by the second, as he started to please her with even more affectionate and passionate manner, letting himself lost in the pleasant feeling, then in a pleasant tone he whispered to her. "I... I figured... you'd be curious."

"Mmm... what can I say? I'm half-octopus after all," she teased. "And you can't deny that you're curious too." The former tentacle brushed lower down his waist as she continued, teasing him further. "Why don't you satisfy your curiosity a little?"

"Mmm... yes, I am," he admitted with a nod, as he allowed his hands to explore her form more freely, caressing one of his hand up to one of her sides, and other lower on her back a little before her tentacle half started.

This made the Octine moan happily from the contact as she fully brushed at least two tentacles along his nether regions while her other tentacles continued to move along his body like a series of teasing caresses. If only his suit wasn't in the way, it would have been so much better.
Another time, perhaps, she thought to herself. For now, enjoy what you've got.

The human shuddered with bliss as he felt her tentacles around his more sensitive areas.

"Oh... It's so, heavenly," he said with a blissful tone.

The Octine giggled as she continued to please him further, leaning into him so that her head was now resting on his chest and her body pressed against his own.

Michael smiled as he saw this as she admittedly looked very adorable, embracing him like this. Then softly, he pressed her towards his chest, making a soft hum of bliss as he did so, as he also carried on with his affections as well. "It feels like... I'm in love."

"Love, huh?" Scyla remarked, her voice a whisper. "Well, I don't know if that's what it is... but I do know that I don't wish for you to leave anytime soon..."

"If... that’s the case, I… I don't think I ever wish leave you," he breathed blissfully and carried on with his affections, and even though his thoughts were at the moment clouded with utter bliss and passion, one could tell that he was sincere in what he said. This confused the Octine for the moment, but she didn't say anything about the matter and just nuzzled into him, her tentacles idly pleasing his nether regions all the while.

Michael didn't say anything after that only nuzzled her equally affectionately, as he explored her form further with his affectionate caresses all over her form, meanwhile gasping and moaning with bliss as she carried on her own affections.

After a few moments, he heard Scyla make a small sigh.

"Do you have somewhere to be, human?" she asked. "Perhaps friends or family that would be searching for you out here? I wouldn't wish to have you keep them wondering for long."

Michael looked thoughtful at this point, as he took a sigh as well and nodded. "Yeah, I have some friends... they might be looking for me..."

A small huff of disappointment came from the Octine, but she managed to return to her flirtatious smiling self in no time.

"I'll have to let you go then," she said, adding with a seductive smirk, "But only if you promise to return. You can't just leave me like this and not expect me to demand you finish where we started."

"Promise," Michael said with a surprisingly cheerful and reassuring manner. "...Michael didn't say anything after that only nuzzled her equally affectionately, as he explored her form further with his affectionate caresses all over her form, meanwhile gasping and moaning with bliss as she carried on her own affections. "...would a kiss be too much to ask?"

"Not at all," Scyla replied, then she kissed him on the lips, her tentacles that weren't pleasing his nether regions squeezing him gently, but not too tightly in the process.

Michael returned the kiss with equally passionate manner, and somewhat eagerness as he gently pulled her form even more closer to himself in the embrace.

Scyla was a bit surprised at his eagerness, but welcomed it soon enough with her own eagerness. She was a bit sad that her newfound "prey" and possible lover had to leave so soon, and wanted to get as much out of it as she could before then.

"Mmm," Michael made a soft sigh against her as he stroked her mane affectionately, savoring the moment as much as he could.

The Octine moaned as her tongue slipped between them and along his teeth, asking for entry. It was very much like her tentacles in how long and flexible it was, but otherwise very much like a regular tongue. Either way, she knew how to put it to use and wondered if Micheal was willing to see what she could do with it.

The human moaned softly against her, smiling slightly as he embraced her gesture and after a slight tease let her tongue slip inside.

Scyla's tongue immediately wrestled with his own in a passionate dance of dominance, marveling inwardly at the structure behind it. It was a curious thing to her; not as long, but definitely as flexible and eager to please. The thought made her shudder with excitement.

Michael shuddered with pleasure as he felt his tongue wrestle with her own. It was a strangely pleasant feeling to him, especially because that was his very first kiss, which he wanted to share with her, along with the utter affections behind this.

I truly think, I'm in love with her, he said to himself. Oh Lord, I truly do.

This continued for a few more moments, then Scyla broke the kiss and said with reluctance, "You should go now. They'll be calling for you."

"Alright," Michael said to her, affectionately caressing her cheek as he passed her a gleeful smile of reassurance. "I'll return soon," he told her, as reluctantly swam away from her, before turning around and saying. "...take care."

"I always have," Scyla responded, giving a wave of her foreleg and one of her eight tentacles.
