Novel & Cerita Scales: Mermaids Are Real 2

Someone important then, and well-respected within the merfolk kingdom. Her scales were a deep, rich purple that looked near black at times, depending on the light. Even her fins were different than the other merfolk. They seemed to glow somewhat, as bright and mysterious as the float orbs at times, much dimmer at others. I could tell just from looking at her that this was a matron of significant power. Magical, most likely, though I knew so little of magic, I had no idea if merfolk were more or less prevalent than werewolves.

She looked so beautiful and irresistible. Mermaids were never believed to have existed, so Caleb was shocked. Even if mermaids were to be real, he wondered if they lived in rivers, which were not as deep and safe as the sea. The mermaid noticed a presence and jumped into the river. “Wait! If you can hear me, I won't harm you.” Caleb said. The mermaid brought her head up and looked at Caleb with intriguing eyes. “You can come out, I can't harm you.” Caleb assured.

I said slowly. The mermaids like going into places. Not only on the oceans but also here on the ground because the moment they land their tail on the ground, it will turn into limbs that a normal human has. I will not be surprised if they have seen Sevasti since then. They looked at each other, wondering. "Is what I heard right, Miss?" Alicia said with a curious expression. "Farianio? If that is the case then is he a Fariano?" Hana said, her eyes widening because of shock.

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!

“We can’t breathe underwater without them. My father tore his gills out to extend her mother’s life. We have a saying that all life begins with the gills. The heart scale is closely connected to our awakened powers, containing our mana borrowed from the moon. The gills and tails are proof that we are dwellers of the ocean. When a mermaid is born from the union between two heart scales, we are gifted with a body and a spirit. Sometimes, the body will die, but the spirit can live on for a little longer.” Heart scales were usually ripped out of the chest and reattached quickly on a full moon or new moon night when mermaids had special healing powers. The couple would cry on each other’s necks a

I gripped a handful of my dress and began to hurry in that direction before he could stop me. “I’m sorry” I apologized as I almost tripped and bumped into some kid before making my way through and it’s exactly as Logan had said but it’s not the flying whales or talking monkey that caught my attention. It was something else. A glass box stood by the side with a mermaid in it. Her tales all covered in blue scales and shimmering under the water. I made my way closer and stood beside it before placing my hands against the box with wide eyes. I just couldn’t believe I was seeing one for real. I have read about it but seeing one just makes it all the more real and exciting.

The Sutra Kingdom, also known as the South China sea would only rank as seventh on the top ten most humongous seas. “I’m awake,” Andromeda responded, her soul had been brought back completely to the land of earth because of the nearness of their faces, it was a relief that the myth in their kingdom, of how they, the mermaids, can heal humans was only a myth or else, Azrael would be looking on her flustered face. It wouldn’t be nice to be called crabby too. Azrael got up from the soft mattress. His long strides made it easy for him to reach the other side of the bed, he had prepared different servings of food, all vegetables even the smoothie was made of berries.

before turning and heading away from the water toward the car. ---- Alec's POV I grabbed my phone again, needing to see it again, to watch the mermaid video, to understand what Lake had said and shown me. I spent about an hour after he left going over everything in my head, and I still had so many questions, like how the hell were mermaids and mermen real? I unlocked my phone, scrolled to the video, and clicked the link, but there was nothing. My brows drew together as the page loaded to a blank screen with only a spinning icon before refreshing automatically.

"Mr. Chapman, she's a mermaid like no other—a rare find," the old doctor said with a sly grin, his eyes greedily fixed on me. "Her toughest scale will guarantee your child's future is safe and sound." I shivered as I watched Trevon gently rocking Corinne in his arms. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "You want my scale? Do you even understand what that means to me?" Of course he did. When mermaids give birth, we lose almost all of our strength. I had nearly died bringing his child into this world, fulfilling his wish.

“They’re being very determined.” He continued looking at the sky, but my eyes were drawn to the sea, and beneath the ripples of water, I saw a sudden fleeting flash of silver scales. “Either a very big fish just swam by, Rivyn, or...” I said softly. “There!” I pointed feeling a thrill of excitement. There was something about seeing a mermaid beneath the water surface that seemed like a homecoming to me, as if their faces were familiar, and their presence reassuring.
