Mermaid Castaway "Reach out and embrace who you really are. Strive
to be more than the day before. Be happy no matter what others
say...Just be you... - they can never take that away!" - Queen
Oceania Pearl, the eldest of Poseidon's two daughters, hummed a
soft tune while placing sea flowers in a crystal vase. Her blue
tail swished back and forth reflecting the sunlight that came
through the top of the palace creating tiny air bubbles in the
water. As she was finishing the vase she felt a rush of water go
past her. She turned her head to see a flash of blue hair swimming
around the corner towards the door. She followed the mermaid to the
door where she stopped her. "Luna, where are you going?" She asked.
The small mermaid stopped in her tracks and twisted her tail
around. Her long blue hair hanged down to her bellybutton covering
her breast. A long pearl necklace hanged down to the same length as
her hair. Luna carried with her a small purple satchel and in it a
small Luri popped her head out. Luri's were small creatures that
looked like sea otters but were a light blue with finned ears,
webbed feet and a long tail. "What do you mean...I'm not going
anywhere," Luna said. She looked around the hall curiously looking
for anybody that might be watching. "Who are you looking for?"
Pearl asked. She crossed her arms and gave Luna a deep glare. Luna
froze still and the small Luri huddled down back into the satchel.
"No one Pearl. Why are you such a nosy Mermaid!" Luna said. Pearl
uncrossed her arms and jumped back a little creating a strong rush
of water on her back. "Luna! What is wrong with you? You can't act
this way tomorrow," She said. Luna rolled her eyes and swam towards
the door pushing it open and slamming it behind her. Outside the
door Luna slouched against the giant palace door. The palace was a
beautiful crystal palace and the door was decorated with all sorts
of seashells in different shades of blue and purple. The palace was
formed in a spiral staircase shape the led to the top which was a
dome shape for holding special ceremony's and performances. Luna
pulled the small Luri from the satchel and held it up to her face.
It cocked its head at her in confusion and blinked its wide eyes at
her. She laughed at the silly creature that she held in front of
her. The Luri swam out of her arms and treaded in front of her.
"Where are we going today Luna?" The Luri asked. "Today's the day
Onyx!" Luna said smiling. A huge grin rushed across Onyx's face and
her eyes widened. "When are we going?" Onyx asked happily. "Later,
you can stay with me tonight so we'll be ready," "So, where are we
going now Luna?" "Come on, i'll show you!" Luna smiled and began to
swim away followed by Onyx. They swam through the city passing the
Ocean Market and all of the citizens that lived in the City.
Everyone she passed said, "Hello," or "How are you Luna?" Quickly
she made her way out of the City and into the reef of the ocean.
Many of the sea creatures were her friends. Luna and Onyx swam down
to a hidden part of the ocean where no one went.
