Coral Merpup Novels & Stories

Plants swayed with the current and before long, a small shark slowly swam by. My eyes widened as it passed us. Smooth, gray skin shined beneath the filtered light of the sun. I turned towards Shawn and Chris, pointing at the creature. Chris gave me a thumbs up and Shawn smiled behind his mouthpiece. A leopard crab scurried across the ocean floor, catching my attention. I swam deeper than the boys, following it to a large reef filled with coral and anemones. A family of black clownfish swam through the colorful plants, and I turned to see Shawn approaching to see what had caught my attention.

It was also the secret location of the Sea Mackie Clan, who had guarded the Ruins Sea for generations. Everyone, no matter Ambrose, Eira, or the Blood Shark Pirates, who landed on Coral Island were in awe when they saw the spectacular island scenery; they sang praises for the magnificent Creator. The huge Coral Island was not made up of land but pieces of conjoined corals. Those corals ranged from half a meter to tens of meters high. There was a variety of species, and one was unique in its colors. They gleamed in beautiful shades under the sun. The Sea Mackie Clan lived in a huge shell built on top of a colony of corals. From a distance, the structure looked like it was straight out from a

“I’m so sorry. I didn’t… He shushed me up and turned off the lights of the submarine. I didn’t breathe because I was scared. There was complete darkness. I thought the creature wouldn’t see us because of the dark but I was wrong. Suddenly, everywhere lighted up. That’s when we both realized that this creature was nothing ordinary “It’s a mermalia frother.” That sounded scary. “Why do they call it that? “It serves only mermaids. They release foam from their mouth that contains enzymes which eat everything in sight. “Everything or anything? “Both. I faced the mermalia frother. It was a yellow layered beast that had the shape of a sea horse but the teeth of a white shark. It had a purple crown

she tells me. "Okay I will, get some rest," I say, kissing her lightly before turning to swim out to the group of people now smacking a ball around. There are three guys and two girls that start shouting when I swim over. "Come play with us Prince Kaine!" One girl―Cora says. I feel confusion settle over me as I get closer. They all have brightly colored hair and their eyes look like they're glowing. Cora suddenly dives into the water and something shiny flashes. Realization hits me. They're mermaids.

----------Two Years Later--------- The water was clear and warm, a deep turquoise that stretched to the horizon. Beneath the surface, a different world pulsed with color—coral the shade of sunset, fish like scattered jewels, sea fans swaying in the current. Nerissa adjusted her mask and kicked downward. Beside her, Sam held a mesh bag of coral fragments—tiny broken pieces harvested from their underwater nursery. This was his project: restoring the reef, one fragment at a time. He had designed the artificial structures himself, wood frames seeded with living coral, anchored to the seabed.

Mariana explained. “Does that mean I got into the book?” I wondered to myself. “What book?” she asked, then I looked at her. “Didn’t you see the book I’m holding?” I asked, and she shook her head. We went under the sea, and while swimming, I was amazed at the fish, dolphins, sharks, whales, and other types of fish that were under it. I have never seen fish and coral so clear and beautiful. I didn’t know how far we were until I saw the beautiful kingdom under the sea, and there I saw other mermaids with different colored tails.

They were the weakest of the shifters, having to return to the water every night as their body forces them to shift into their mermaid form. I already knew what Marques wanted. A small girl had been picked up by my scouts about a week ago. She hadn’t shifted yet, so her mermaid wasn’t fully present, meaning she could stay out of water. A mermaid born on land would be human until they first shifted, a merperson born in water would be born as mermaid, unable to shift into their human form until their sixteenth birthday. I could tell the girl was a mermaid just by the color of her skin. Merpeople were the only ones born with sharp bright green slanted eyes. Taking in Marques similarities to the

But what really caught her attention was the centre of the tank, where a magical spectacle awaited. In the midst of the vibrant coral and graceful seaweed, the mermaid display was the star attraction. I could see Mackenzie’s gaze fixated, her breath catching in her throat. The mermaid was truly something out of a fairy tale. Its tail shimmering in shades of turquoise and gold, scales glistening as they caught the light. The creature’s long, flowing hair seemed to dance with the gentle currents of the water, and her voice, soft and melodic, filled the space with an ethereal quality that made it feel like we had stepped into another world. Of course, the girl-mermaid was just lip-syncing under

The currents were stable near the shoreline and didn't mix the underlying sand with the water, allowing a magnificent view. The marine life was well-preserved and abundant. The shoreline was filled with large hoards of corals including blue, red and sponge, that house a wide variety of some of the most unique fishes I had ever seen. We were surrounded by millions of small colorful fishes. It was just magical. The whole canvas was splashed with unimaginable colors. It gave me feel or Ariel the mermaid. How I wish I was a mermaid and lived here without a worry of paying bills and going to office to face Mr. Snobbish. What do mermaids eat? Raw fish or algae?

**** Twenty-two years ago**** Seated by a huge rock under the sea, I flapped my silver shimmery tail, and marveled at the beautiful waves it made, even though my mind was filled with other thoughts. "Princess Zita, your parents are looking for you." Star Coral, my favourite friend in the whole entire Ocean, propelled his body through the water by using his webbed transparent hands, fins, and dark purplish-colored tail to shift toward me. It was my eighteenth birthday and instead of it being the happiest day, it turned out to be the saddest day I dreaded in my life. I was to be mated to ten mermans and they would each take turns and mate with me until one was successful in getting me pregnant
