Little by little the atmosphere started to feel less calm and more chaotic. The enemy has retreated to the other side of the beach. Still, the air was filled with tension as we all waited for what was next to come. The cool breeze turned into a hostile wind, whipping the trees from left to right. Black clouds covered the sky. The sea was anything but calm.It had begun. Without being there, I could tell by the behavior of the ocean. It was excited, crashing waves as high as a hill into each other. A new Queen was being chosen. That was enough to be excited about. The only sad part of this ceremony was that the previous Queen would die. I wanted to speak with her one last time. Everyone knew her as the 'wicked Queen' and maybe she was. She did send her child away to be alone forever. But, I saw her as a lonely mermaid, who was afraid. If only we had time, maybe she would have forgiven Craig for leaving her and she would bring him back. We could have worked as a family. One

"Have you decided to give up?" Fenon asked when he stopped in front of me.I chuckled. "That is not why I'm here. I want to talk about our situation.""Is that so?""Yes. I know that you want to protect your daughter, but don't you think this is taking it a little too far? She is now the Queen and has the authority to do as she pleases. We don't have to fight. In fact, this is an opportunity for us both. I admit I'm young and don't know many things. And, that is why it will be best if we work together. I will give you enough authority to do as you please. Hell, you'll be my right-hand man if you want to. Your daughter will stay protected under your command. What do you say?"This was the best I had to offer. Merfolks considered me a baby. If I had an older royalty by my side like a mentor, they would feel safer. Two heads were better than one. Fenon had good intentions. He yearned for the betterment of his people. I, too, wanted that

I spent the last several minutes studying everyone on the battlefield. My combat skills had improved but I needed to be the best out on that field.  Mitch left me to find Aqualia. He and she needed to sort out their problems before entering the battle. We needed to be in unison to defeat Fenon's army.  "It's time," Martin announced.  All his wave of soldiers got in line, ready to kick some ass. Martin and I headed the flock. When Terranean gave the signal, we were out on the beach. My gaze found Fenon as he, too, joined the battle. As expected, he was coming for me. Too bad I was both mentally and physically prepared for this.  Martin and a few of his soldiers kept close to me. They countered each attack. Men

Everyone bowed at my arrival to the Bedding Cave. This place was essential to our Kingdom. The cave rested beside The Bedding. Once the star has been passed on from one Queen to the next, the previous Queen would be taken to this cave. Here she could relax and pass away in peace. The Bedding is next to it, which helped to rest her shell of a body there once she passed on to the ancestral world.Father was the only one in the Mother Queen chamber. The minute he noticed me, he moved from the chair beside Mother's bed."Fesel, are you okay?" he asked. Though his lips moved, his facial expression held no ounce of concern.If I had not known the other side of my father, his behavior would have fooled me like it did everyone else. However, I knew what he was like as a Father. And, this was not it. The spark he once had was gone. I needed to know what he did that caused him to look this dead. I needed to know the truth. What was going on? This was why I nee

"We'll go to see her now," I ordered Amoria.Time waited on no man. I didn't have time to waste. The sooner we found the Seer, the better things were."Aren't you supposed to be resting?" Amoria observed me. "Your mother just died."If I had not been smart and severed my connection to that mermaid, I would have to be resting now. The excruciating pain would have been enough to keep me bedrisen for at least a few days.I pushed from my throne and swam up beside her. "She was no mother of mine. She doesn't deserve that title. I refused to be held back by such a mermaid.""Hmmm." Amoria opened a portal before us. "You really have changed. It's kind of scary. Too bad, I know how to handle crazy bitches."A corner of my mouth twitched at the comment. "Look who's talking? You're the craziest of us all.""Damn right about that."Neither of us moved as the hole got bigger. I didn't trust Amoria one
