Chapter: 6.*****The city of Aquarial was created thousands of years ago. Thousands of years ago, the sea creatures roamed the Seven Seas, causing havoc and ruins among themselves and those who would trespass under the sea and above. It was a chaotic disaster for tens of thousands of years. Until the Gods took pity upon the sea creatures and sent forth a Fire Trident. It fell and merged deeply into the sea mountain. It was the only mountain in all of the Seven Seas and it has seven apexes all connected to one base. The sea grew warmer, the fishes went away into hiding, famine struck the Seven Seas and for many years the sea creatures feared their fate until the Elder of Elders summoned all sea creatures and asked that each Elect within themselves someone they considered worthy to lead and be the ruler over the Seven Seas.The sea creatures gathered, each having selected a worthy leader and thus the Elder of Elders led the seven leaders up the sea mountain to its apex. There he had th
Chapter: 7.******The laws of the Heavens, The Seas, the Underworlds, and Earth could not be tested but Atana had tested fate and changed what wasn't meant to be and worse using dark powers from Glasa. There is a saying in Aquarial 'Nothing Good Comes Out Of Glasa' she understood these things better but she chose her part. The Gods were angry and they withdrew their favors from her. The humans suffered and tormented Atana, so much so she couldn't show her face outside of her home. They were all afraid to go out for fear of what the people would do. And Atana's beauty began to fade.One of her great-grandchildren betrayed her, he went and told the townspeople that the source of their youthfulness was the blood of the mermaid who was his great-grandmother. This railed the people, they were filled with wrath and animosity towards Atana. Their hatred for the mermaid grew and her secret, exposed. Their sailors sailed the Seven Seas in their hundreds, tricking merfolks and all sea dwellers
Chapter: 8.*********"So? Did he fall for it?" The eager merman sitting beside the one that had placed the call asked once the conversation had ended. Roan turned towards the group of six and smiled grandly. "Of course, he did, he's completely smitten by me, it's pitiful." He spat, a taste of disgust lingering. "By the gods, he has to be the dumbest merman since the Fire Trident graced the Seven Seas." The first hateful merman mocked and the others laughed. "Even the crab soldiers would outsmart him," Hiro added. The crab soldiers were the dumbest of all sea creatures and they're mostly considered the clowns of the Seven Seas so they are often used in comparison with unintelligent sea creatures."When had you even discovered he preferred mermen rather than being embraced in the tender arms of a mermaid." Bay inquired and Roan just smiled. "I've known for a while." He replied with pride as if he had won a Nobel Sea prize."To think that he had to be the Tideian, ugh, makes me wan
Chapter: 9.********"Hello, Dad," his favorite cheerful voice resounded around his ears and he chuckled warmly. She still brings the light into his dark heart. "Hello, Princess." He called back and she giggled. "Did you forget what day today is?" "Did I now? Mhmm..." the man pretended to be lost in deep thought and the little girl just laughed harder. "What day is today?" He asked, causing her to laugh louder. "It's my birthday, you silly old goose!" She yelled between giggles."She called me old. My own daughter called me old, oh what a life." This cracked the little girl up harder and she nearly tumbled over from her end."But, you are old, my silly old goose, Daddy." She said between giggles."My poor heart.""I know you didn't forget." "Of course, I wouldn't forget the birthday of my one beloved." Her laughter boomed and he smiled. "Happy sixth birthday, monkey." He finally said and she laughed."Thank you, Daddy, but this monkey is getting bigger and bigger." She asserted as
Chapter: 10******The crystal moon took its full size and its glorious brightness filled the great city. Sea creatures gathered in their hundreds to watch the crystal moon grow bigger and its brightness was exceedingly great, it brightness near blinding and the Sea Creatures couldn't look upon it for much longer. It was time they each returned to their homes and rested and as they all retired to their homes, the Tideian made his way to the Sea Mountain, the crystal moon glow eased into his body, the Tideian marks scattered about all over his body each creating a spiral returning to the crystal moon, the Tideian soon became as bright as the crystal moon even his eyes glowed like the moon and then he was ready.Having made it to the Base of the mountain, he began to summon the falling Tears into the many Golden jars he had made to appear, each creating a circle around the Tideian. The Mountain Tears began to drop into the Jars, its divine sparkle twinkled like millions of sea pearls.F
Chapter: 11.*****Tide woke up to a burning sensation spreading fast across his left arm. Its pain was too intense and the burning scars which were starting to erupt from within his arms were beginning to drape his entire left arm with red bruises. He tried to heal himself but not after the third attempt had he realized that something was terribly wrong. He couldn't feel his soulpearl.Like his life had just been sucked out of him.He was...weak.Before his eyes he watched the bruises expand, spreading fast and eating up his arm, filling it with inflamed, painful, pus-filled boils. He needed help or he would die.Could it be the Mountain Tears he had dipped his hand into the day before? He had indeed acted foolishly. Why would he use his hand when he could have used his magic? Knowing just how powerful an undiluted Mountain Tears was. If the raw mountain Tears could cause sudden drought, how much more, his hand? How had he not thought of that? He had indeed acted foolishly.He hiss
Chapter 12.*******Naga returned with three different healing potions. Each in different shaped bottles. Placing the small bottles on a nearby table, he turned towards the still sleeping Tideian, whispering a few spells then reached for his hair, cutting a strand of his hair, next he proceeded to scrape a few scales from the Tideian's tail. Once he had finished with what he needed, he slowly returned to his sitting position beside the table which held the bottles.Both Venus and Nixie watched intently as the Merdragon casts spell after spell, the room grew foggy with magical mists, a few iced droplets of water fell upon them and they watched in awe as the dragon transformed before them, into a giant snow dragon, picking up the sleeping Tideian with giant wings and holding him afloat in the mist, more spells were summoned. The process lasted for an hour and once the spell was done, the Merdragon retreated to his formal form and then proceeded to reach for the bottles, the hair, and sc
Chapter: 13.*********The vision rather than comforting her left her with even more concern and more questions but the more questions she asks... "I don't understand," she whispered, turning to look at her dearest friend. "Naga," she called, tears brimming in the corners of her eyes. "Will I have to mourn the loss of my son?" The Merdragon held despair and pity in his icy eyes for the aching woman. ....the fewer answers she got."Although the future is not set in stone, I haven't felt death in his future, but there will be abundance of pain and suffering. His fate, like I mentioned earlier, is tied with Atana. And just like she did, he too shall journey into distance lands, a fulfillment of his destiny, and that of Atana's." He pulled both Venus's hands into his and held her hands in his. "Your son will be the greatest Tideian ever heard in all the Seven Seas." She nodded. As long as he wasn't going to be dead she could manage.She would have fought to avert this fate but she knew b
