Mermaids #h2o Novels & Stories

Darya called from further out in the lake. Wai gurgled some angry retort at the mermaid before turning apologetically to the Empress. Aurora could see the tension between them. She tried to comfort the watery woman, "I will handle it, Wai. Would you tell your cousins the wood nymphs our plans?" The nymph reluctantly complied after a few more choice words with the mermaid in the ancient tongue. Phoca watched vigilantly from the shallow water at Aurora plunged deeper to meet the representative of the merfolk.

The other is just an event photographer. I give them all smiles and little waves, and he nods as I make my way up to two of my favorite people who are too busy greeting others ahead of us to notice me. Esma is wearing an all-gold mermaid-style dress that sparkles in the light. No matter which way she moves, you find a new little twinkle. Her hair is in a low bun updo with a few strands curled framing her face. She is stunningly beautiful; Dean is one lucky man.

"No, baby, just my friends and their girls. It'll be fun with a group of people, I promise. Besides, apparently my friends and I have a type, so I think you and Sydney will get along with them just fine." "Oh, you mean you all like dorks instead of the beautiful cheerleaders?" River says mockingly. "You my little River, the most beautiful girl in the world in my eyes. So, the cheerleaders can go suck a-" "I understand," River says, giggling and cutting me off. I walk over to where River is standing and lean down to kiss her. "Go pack your clothes. Make sure to grab a swimsuit." "Swimsuit?" River asks. "Yeah, I know there's a lake out there, so we can go swimming."

But Nexus, who had been just arrived and happened to overhear the duo’s conversation asked on behalf of Silvan, “She…she is a Mermaid! Goodness, how many more kinds do we have to encounter? Her friends are creatures too?? That Eva, Chris, Jenny etcetera..??” “No. Only she is.” Dankein admitted as if it wasn’t a big deal. Silvan looked at shock-ridden Nexus and then switched his surprised gaze at Dankein to blurt out, “Are mermaids even real? I mean still..!!” Dankein just nodded and Silvan rubbed his temples thinking why he had to put himself on the platter for this!

until she saw one killed a man. Mermaids were known through all manner of legends and lore. Basically, they were mythical aquatic creatures with the head and upper body of a female human and the tail of a fish as well as a long cascading golden hair; half woman, half fish, these lethally-minded sisters of the sea would rise up from the waves every now and then to lure men into their arms. Beautiful, conniving, and dangerous, mermaids would do anything to protect their homes. Which happened to be the same body of water that they disturbed when the cruise ship decided to sail across the bay.

Here she was, open mouthed, with her gaze still fixated on me. Her hair smelt of shampoo and paint, while her body had this faint scent of a floral perfume. I felt my throat working, because I was suddenly feeling so thirsty. Everything about this girl seem so innocent and fragile, except those ocean blue eyes of hers. They held so much in them. "Who did that to you, Mer?" Jack suddenly asked, throwing his head back to look at his daughter. She finally peeled her eyes off me, then placed them on her father. I expected her to speak, so I could hear what her voice sounded like. If it was soft her fragile, like the way she looked. Or was deep and masculine, dominating her appearance.

He was convinced he would die that night. His feet got tangled in his net. The strong waves made it impossible for Carl to free himself, and he drifted, battered by the waves, losing control. In his resignation, Carl saw something glowing swimming toward him. It weaved gracefully under the water, with a blueish glow, looking beautiful. When it got closer, the creature's hand reached for Carl, but it wasn't like a human hand. Between its fingers were delicate webs, and its nails were long, like claws that seemed capable of tearing through anything. It cut the net, rope entangled around his leg.

There was something ethereal about it, almost calling me, beckoning me deeper into the labyrinth of the mansion. I turned a corner, and there it was—a small water body, shimmering with a soft, unnatural glow. The blue light was brighter now, swirling above the water like some kind of living energy, a pulse that seemed to come from the depths of the water itself. And then, there she was. The mermaid. She lay in the water, her long hair floating around her like an underwater halo, her eyes closed. Her features were both delicate and sharp, a beautiful enigma that felt so foreign, so ancient.

A white bridal gown clung to the body, its hem rotted beyond recognition, though the tiny gemstones still caught the light of the camera with a cold glint. The person standing nearby flinched and quickly explained. "Mr. Gage, don't get the wrong idea. This has been blowing up online all day. They're saying a woman's body was pulled from the water near the shore this morning. "She was still wearing a gown covered in gemstones. We thought it looked a lot like the one Selene wore to the engagement banquet, so we figured we'd ask." Before they even finished, Callum cut in, his expression already cold. "Ask what? You're all here tonight to celebrate Elise's performance, not to stand around gossip

She said, "Okay. I will leave them alone." Damien and I got in the Hummer with Ely and Eivin and we left for the airport. Once we were in the air, I asked Damien why they want us there. I didn't think we could offer much help. He said, "They know you are good at uniting species. They want to ally with the mermaids." I said, "Sweet! We could do the same!" He said, "The Queen of the Mermaids lives in one of the lakes in Nebraska." I said, "Really? I would've thought she lived in the ocean or the sea?" He said, "Nope. This lake is her childhood home, so this is where she feels most comfortable." I said, "That is so cool."
