The Story

Below the surface, way down deep, in the ocean lied a kingdom. This kingdom was the home to mermaids and mermen. For centuries mermaids lived here and were ruled by the Mer King and Queen. Mermaids and mermen lived here and remained hidden from the human world, but some mermaids would do anything to live on the land of the humans. These Mermaids would sneak out of the kingdom at night to spy on their crushes.

Please Don't Post Yet

Narrator: It is now night time and the mermaids are heading to the surface to spy on or meet their loves. Below the surface of the ocean something is stirring. The magic wishing well is starting to glow.

Pearl waited outside of Corral's room. They normally left together and she couldn't wait to go. She hoped to see her artist tonight. Sometimes he didn't show, but usually he did and she hoped he'd be there tonight. She heard some rumors of a wishing well that would grant the wish of any mermaid that goes to it the next new moon which was two days away. She couldn't wait to tell Corral since she wanted to go find it and wish to be able to live both on land and in water.

(Kierys: Traverse: emiko_firecaster: finx15: Shania583: xMusicNotes: Eiiri: the RP has started. I will play the narrator which basically keeps the plot moving)

Aqua had always left the underwater kingdom on her own, she never knew that any of the other mermaids went up to the surface. When the drakness finaly covered her she left towrds the beach. She had heard the roumors about the wishing well and decided that if she ever wanted to meet her crush that she would have to find it and make her with in two day. She reached the surface and swam towards the rock where she always waited. She waited and while she waited she thought of places where the well could be. Aqua was friends with Corral, Peral, Lily, and Delphina, she was going to ask them if they knew anything about the well tomorrow but right now she just wanted to spy on her crush.

Correl sighed as she moved about her room in boredom. She heard pearl out side her room and swam out to great her. "Come on pearl before father comes and sees me gone." She swam towards the surface as fast as she could. She couldn't wait to see her love and speak to her friends about the well that would grant a wish to who ever arrived at the full moon.

Jake had been waiting for night to fall. She never seemed to appear in the daytime. His feet made soft indentations in the sand as he walked the beach, his eyes up to the sky. The new moon would be coming in two days. Jake had always felt that the moon and the flow of the tide were a magic that most people took for granted. But then, people didn't believe in magic anymore.

'They don't believe in mermaids anymore either, but I know better,' he thought with a smile. But it wasn't just that he knew mermaids existed. He believed in them. He had always believed.

'Well, not always...I had started to lose faith, once,' came his mind's quiet reminder. It stung a little, remembering that he had ever doubted. It was disappointing to think he had been weak enough to listen to doubt. Throughout everything, he had believed. Despite evidence and everyone saying they were just fictional, that mermaids couldn't possibly exist, he believed. Even when his family didn't believe him, even after he first saw one, he believed. Nowadays he kept those beliefs to himself. Even now people still gave him a hard time for it. But despite it all, he believed. But that belief had waned. He let doubt in.

"But...then...she appeared..." he said quietly, like whispering a secret to the stars. His heart fluttered a little at the thought of her. He closed his eyes, bringing up from the darkness the memory.

She had been beautiful in a way that only stories could tell. But she was beautiful in a way only sadness could make someone. It touched her, lightly, but he could see it. It filled her eyes with loneliness so much that it spilled out, trickling down her face. Where it had drawn it's fingers down her cheeks, tears followed. It had pulled at the corners of her sweet, soft lips, hiding the smile he knew must have lit up her entire face, once. It was in the way she held herself, the way she looked at the sky, as if searching. It was in all of her, and it made her beautiful. But it also made her tragic. In that singular moment, he wanted to lift her sorrows away from her. He wanted to wipe the tears away and see her smile. In that moment, he fell in love.

It was by mere chance that he had even seen her. He had been out for a walk on the beach, much like tonight. He liked it best when the sky was clear and he could see the stars. Sometimes he would look for constellations he knew and imagine stories to go along with them. Tonight though, he was looking for something else.

He opened his eyes and let them fall from the sky. They traveled over the beach, empty except for him, and to the water's edge. His heart gave a little flip-flop in his chest as he thought of her.

'She lives there, somewhere. Somewhere in the dark, enchanting ocean. It's like a story, a fairytale.'

He smiled again at his whimsical thoughts and let his eyes follow their natural course. They slid over the rolling waves, over rocks that stood guard like sentinels over the ocean. His breath caught for a moment. He could have sworn he saw movement.

'Is it you?' he wondered.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The moon rose high over the ocean, reflecting on the water's surface. It's reflection rippled as a boat cut smoothly through the water, a young man seated inside. He was fair skinned, with messy short hair that wavered in between blonde and chocolate, and his eyes were a warm caramel. His face was soft, eager, his eyes searching. His name was Eric, and he had loved the sea since he was a child. He would often go out on his boat, seeking adventure that only the ocean could offer him. Tonight he sought something else though. A different kind of adventure, one for his heart only.

"Delphina," he whispered, his eyes searching the waters.

He could still remember the first time they had met. He had been out on the ocean when he saw her, a beautiful girl in the water. But it had been so strange to see someone out this far. He had leaned far over, to call out to her, and had lost his grip. The ocean that he had practically lived on for years had claimed him, and for a terrifying moment, he realized he might die. But he didn't. He had been saved. He could barely remember anything but the dark, the water filling his lungs. Then darkness took him. When he woke, all he saw was her fin disappear beneath the waves, as if saying goodbye. Since then, he knew he had to find her again.

"And I did, didn't I, Delphina?" he murmured quietly, his face falling a little. "But you were crying..."

He remembered that clearly. It was heartbreaking, to see her cry. And since then, they had met, secretly. The best part of his day was when it was ending, when the sun would sink beneath the horizon and the moon would call her back to him. And he would be there, waiting. He wondered if she knew how he felt. He wondered if he would ever be able to tell her.

"Kay" Pearl said following Corral. She knew Corral was always worried about her father finding out. Pearl was a little worried herself since she would get in trouble for not telling. So she felt bad since she was just a maid. She had no high status and could easily be kicked out of the castle. She had no family that she knew of since she was an orphan. However, she couldn't help but keep their secret in order to see the boy she liked.

Ryan headed out to the rock where he normally met Lily at night. He knew she was a mermaid and that made their relationship difficult. It wasn't just that she lived in the ocean, but he also had loved once before. He still wasn't over the other girl, yet he was defiantly falling for Lily. He knew he'd have to tell her at some point, but wasn't sure when and didn't want to break her heart. He sighed as he stared up at the starry sky.

Corral floated on the surface and smiled when pearl joined her. "I wonder when they will get here?" She asked. "Well we wait have you heard of the wishing well?

Aqua watch as her crush walked the beach, how she wanted to talk to him but then that would break the rule of the kingdom. She watched and he looked at the sky and then follow the waves that were rolling into the rock she was hiding behind, crashing into her. Once she had come here to look upon the stars that made her think that there was something more out there, and now she came only to watch the man that she longed to be with. To her he seemed to be one that was always ont to follow his heart and never let anything bring him down. Her head was up above the rock now and then when his eyes came around to the rock she quickly slid into the water and swam to the side of the rock so that she could see him but hopefully he wouldn't see her. She thought to herself 'When I find the well I am going to wish that I could live upon the land as well as in the ocean', she let that thought sit in her head as she watch her crush look at the rock she was behind.

His eyes lingered for a moment on the rock, then slowly he let his breath out, his quickened heartbeat slowing back down. Maybe he imagined it.

He let his gaze fall instead on the dark horizon, on the waves washing back and forth over the soft, wet sand. His feet took him to the edge, where the surf was breaking in a gentle foam. It tickled his feet, and he let himself sink just a little, grains of sand being pulled from beneath him by the strength of the waves. The rock that hid his love was to his far right, hanging at the very corner of his vision. He closed his eyes and let the water wash over his feet, over and over, words forming in his mind, people's faces swimming before him. His lips released a soft sigh and began to murmur the story as his imagination gave it life. He wondered for a moment if he was telling his own story. Maybe he could hope.

"He waits, every night, for the arrival of his true love. The moon and the sea are his calender, his watch. His gravity. As the moon rises over the ocean, it pulls him to her. It hooks him neatly between the ribs, on his heart, and leads him towards his destiny.
Beneath the moon, his dreams form into reality out of sand and sea. They form into beautiful people, mermaids, alive and unbound in the sea. Darting through the water like shards of a rainbow, in every color. Blues and greens and oranges, reds and yellow and silvers. Sunlight caught in a crystal, a prism of color beneath the ocean's surface. So close, and yet so far from him. So the ocean pulls her to him with the tide.
They meet, first with eyes. His full of wonder, hers with a majesty that can only be found in stories and songs.
Hands touch, damp with the sea and sand, meant to hold each other. Fingers meant to trace lines in the air between the stars, drawing constellations together. Palms meant to hold faces and draw away tears.
Lips meet, in a kiss that only those in love can know. True love's kiss. The act that breaks spells and fuses one heart to another, forever. That bonds two people together and pulls them both out of loneliness. A kiss that saves you, that makes you truly live..."

He lets his voice fall away, feeling moisture on his cheek. His fingertips brush against tears that he hadn't realized he was crying. He suddenly feels his thudding heart, caught up in his own story.

"Heh....wouldn't it be nice. If it were true," he muses. He slowly sits, letting the water wash over his legs, spraying him. He lets out a laugh. It was silly, getting himself so worked up over a story. If true love existed, then he would find it. He knew. He believed. He would make his own story come true, somehow.

"Somehow...I'll find you," he says, his words carried to the stars.

Alex stared out into the glistening ocean, the sand shifting beneath him as he walked. He sighed, " Feels great to be here again" he said softly to himself. It's been a few days since he's been to the beach. Alex took a seat in front of a large boulder, It was big enough for him to lean on. He scanned his surroundings,His thoughts trailed off as he stared at the waves crash against the shore. His thoughts were wandering back to when he could have sworn he saw a mermaid, but since he thought they didn't exist, he shrugged it off.
Alex snapped from his trance and began sketching the view in front of him, though he felt something odd was about to happen..

Aqua watched as he walked to the waters edge and listened to the story that he was telling. She knew the story was about him even if he knew it or not, he came to the water every night just like she did to hopefully see the one that they love. She wanted that story to be true but she couldn't really let it happen. She sat up on the rock once again and then thought to herself 'in two days time I will find the wishing well and return upon the full moon and wish for it to come true living both on land and water' that was her new dream and nothing was going to stop her now. She watch as he sat down and saw that he had wiped away tears from his eyes how she wanted to be the one to do that, she watch as he laughed at himself and wished for his story to be true. She rolled over and looked up to the stars, when she heard him say that he was going to find her some how she said out loud "I hope that we will find each other soon". She laid and looked at the stars and glanced over to where her crush was sitting and watched him.

Lily looked up, again. She had been doing so since the concert started. As much as she loved to sing, every concert she had been in lately seemed to last forever. This had to be because her mind was elsewhere. Even as she thought about it, it was crazy. She had been singing up at the surface one night and had met a human, Ryan. He was one of the few who didn't mind her singing sad songs. The mermaids always wanted her to sing happy upbeat songs. That was fine most of the time, but there were times where she wanted to sing about how she felt.

Finally, the concert was over. Without another word, she left the concert hall, hurrying to the surface. "Ryan?" she called out into the night, her musical voice barely above a whisper. She searched the beach for him carefully, not wanting to run into a human other than him.

The stars seemed to echo back to him, a voice he could only barely hear over the sound of waves crashing against him. Could he have imagined it? Was he still so caught up in his own story that he was hearing things? Regardless, he looked around, his heart hopeful. Every logical bone in his body was telling him it was impossible. He was alone out here, with nobody but the sea and the stars to hear him. There was no one there to answer him. And yet, he heard a voice.

'Dare to dream,' encouraged the small, hopeful voice in his head, and he heeded it.

"Hello?" he called, getting to his feet. It was hard work; the sand gave beneath him and the water pulled at him, encouraging him to follow the tide out to sea. He ignored the calling ocean and looked around, raising his voice, fighting to be heard over the surf.

"Is someone there?"

The night was black, the stars shining overhead. The ocean rolled in and out, a steady rhythm. Everything smelled like the sea, and the feeling that he was alone pressed in hard all around him. He felt his heart sink a little, but he did not sink back into the sand with it. He had to hope. Even if the chance was small, he had to hope. His voice was quiet, barely a whisper compared to the roar of ocean.

"Are you out there?"

Aqua knew that he had heard her, she decided that it would not hurt if she answered him she said out loud "Hello". She hoped that he would hear her so that they could talk for once. She didn't care about the kingdom rules any more, she had found someone that made her feel less lonely and that made her happy. She smiled a little now because she knew that he could not see her because the darkness covered her, so she replied "It is just me who is out here".

"Yes of course I heard about it, it's going to be active in two days and I really want to go look for it," Pearl said excitedly. She wanted to be able to go on land to meet her crush without worrying about him seeing her. Speaking of which she saw the boy walking across the beach. "I gotta go," Pearl blushed swimming away from Corral to head in her crush's direction.

Ryan heard his name being called by his favorite voice in the world. He smiled and ran in the direction of the voice. He scanned the surface trying to find her, though she was probably hiding to avoid being seen by anyone other than him. "Lily?" He questioned hoping she'd give him another hint as to where she could be.

He turned in a full circle, catching a reply from the voice, and lost his footing. With a spectacular splash, he fell face-first into the surf. He spluttered for a moment before planting his knees underneath him and then standing back up. He was glad for the dark; maybe she hadn't seen him. At the very least, maybe she couldn't see how red he was now. He tried to cover up the sound of him coughing the water from his lungs with a laugh before pulling himself further onto the beach, where he was less likely to slip and fall again.

'Good job, Jake. Embarrass yourself, why don't you?' he mused to himself, turning full circle again. All he could see was sand and ocean. Where could she be hiding? Was he hearing things? Had he finally taken the dive off the deep end? He chuckled at the thought. Well, they always said it would happen. He'd find out soon enough.

"Who is 'me'? What's your name?" he called, his eyes searching, "Where are you?"

He shivered slightly, his clothing completely soaked through with saltwater. The moon above offered light, but no heat, and it was cold standing out in the open. He briefly wished he had brought a coat, but instead moved back into the water, where there was at least a little warmth. He kept a careful eye on his footing this time though, not wanting the tide to sweep him off his feet and out to sea. He wasn't a merman; he couldn't live in the ocean.

"Oh, alright, I'm coming, I'm coming" giggling delphina swam after the dolphins as they swam a little ways ahead of her. she was looking forward to seeing him again tonight, and smiled slightly at the bittersweet memory of their first meeting. she had been enjoying herself with her dolphins as she usually did, when she rose to far to the surface. startled by the boy in the boat she had ducked down, her father's warnings ringing in her ears. however she had been seen, and the boy fell over trying to get a better look, almost drowning. it was an automatic reaction to save him, and she had stuck around untill he had started to awaken, before diving back down into the water.

nearing the surface she sees a boat obove her and slows down, caution and hope warring inside her. givving into hope she surfaces to see that it was indeed Eric in the boat. "You came again." smiling she floated with her head above the water so that she could talk with him while the dolphins dissappeared to search for the wishing well she had heard about today.

His heart skipped a beat as he saw the water break and a familiar face look up at him. It took a moment for him to regain his voice; the breath had been stolen from his lungs at the sight of her smile. The bittersweet memory of her crying quickly retreated, and instead he thought of all the times he had seen her happy, and his heart fluttered in response. He found his voice and smiled back warmly.

"I'll always come back, as long as you want me to," he replied softly, his eyes warm and gentle. She was lovely in the moonlight, her hair shining like starlight in the water. He brushed a stray strand of hair from his face, flushing slightly.

'Don't stare, Eric. Okay, well, try not to stare. Focus,' he thought to himself, turning away for a moment. He rummaged in the bag he had brought with him, searching.

"I brought you something. I hope you don't mind. I just noticed that the dolphins seem to follow you, so I thought you might like it..."

He turned back, having found what he was looking for. It was a small white box, no bigger than a coffee mug, and it was tied with a silver ribbon. Inside he had picked out a small crystal figurine, fashioned into the shape of a dolphin. In the right light, it would catch the sun and project rainbows of color everywhere. There was a small loop with a silver chain at the top so it could be hung somewhere. He crossed his fingers, hoping she would like it.

"I saw it and I just thought of you," he said quietly, glad that it was dark and harder to see his blushing face.

Aqua laughed as she heard him fall into the water, it was dark but she could see his silhouette. She watched as he pulled himself back towards the beach and then she answered his questions "My name is Aqua. What is yours?" she paused and then said I am in the water. She smile at the thought of them finally talking, she slid into the water making a small splashing sound and she stayed beside the rock just out of sight. She laughed a little more and smile, this was the first time that she had allowed herself to break the most important rule and she was happy about it.

"Aqua..." he echoed back to her, letting his mouth get used to the syllables. It was a pretty name, simple. It meant "water", in Latin. How appropriate. It rolled off his tongue like honey.

"Aqua, my name is Jake. It's nice to meet you. Well, sort of, anyways," he added as an afterthought, chuckling. He waded a little deeper, the waves crashing against his midriff now. His eyes were searching the water for the source of the voice. The dark wasn't helping, but then, he had to be somewhat thankful for it. He must have looked silly, standing there up to his ribs in ocean, blindly seeking out the person the voice belonged to. Any passersby would find the sight quite strange, were it daytime. The night masked him as well as her.

"You're in the water? Aren't you cold?" he asked, the spray of water peppering his face with tiny droplets. He could taste the salt in his mouth, but he held his ground. Well, as well as one could when it was moving and shifting beneath your feet and you were partially under water.

"Won't you come out so we can talk face to face? Or I could go further in, but I warn you, I don't know how long I can tread water against these tides..."

It was true; it was hard enough just keeping in one spot with his feet anchored in the sand, but if he were to try and swim out further, he would run the risk of being carried out to sea, easily. Still, he wanted to see a face to associate with the voice. He was hoping she was the one he was waiting for, but since he had never heard her speak before, he couldn't be sure.

Aqua giggled "Nice to meet you to Jake", she like his name it sounded sweet to her. She amile and then said "Yes, I am in the water, but no I am not cold to me it feels warm and welcoming" she paused and then asked "Are you cold?" She giggled a little more this time she was truly happy and nothing was going to bring her down. She wait for him to finish asking his question and then she replyed "Face to face would break the rules" she paused she did want to see his face but she didn't want to break to many rules in one night. Then she continued "Don't go further in then, and besides your further in then me right now." She giggled a little more and then leaned against the rock more looking out just a little further then her she was on the same side of the rock as him now and the moon was glowing in front of him so she could she more of him. She thought to herself 'He really wants to meet me but I can't right now to many rules and I don't have legs to walk on the land, but to be able to see him in daylight that would be better', she was more determined then ever now no matter what.
