Cora was somewhat embarrassed when Mimi asked what she was doing when she was gesturing. She snapped out of her daze when Xuan touched her arm and she looked at him as he spoke and pointed to, what was apparently his name, tattooed on his chest, and saw how different it was from the writing style she was familiar with. She paid attention as he told her how they spoke, and she blushed with embarrassment when he chuckled. She sighed through her nose before deciding to try his way. She followed his directions, unsure of whether it'll work or not. She wanted to use the mike test dialogue, but decided against it. Her words soon were projected, at first as a whisper, but later increasing in volume to normal speaking volume "Like this? Can you really hear me like this?"
Luna raised her eyebrows as she laughed "And our guest finally speaks! So, you really aren't brain dead," That earned Luna a glare from Cora. Luna then asked "So, care to tell us your name?"
Cora answered "My name is Cora. That's what I was trying to say with my gestures earlier,"
Soon Shine was ushering the…merchildren to bed, and Xuan and Luna were warned to not stay up too late. Luna groaned and rolled her eyes saying "We won't, Father," After he was gone, she grumbled "I don't see why we have to help that old lady anyways,"
Cora was a little annoyed at Luna's comment and she asked "What's wrong with helping someone?"
Luna rolled her eyes and answered "Pieth's a little crazy. She's always having delusions, and she's always trying to convince everyone that humans exist. Hah! Can you believe that? Humans! Existing? Bah!"
Cora was dumbfounded and amused at the same time. She was human, and here was a mermaid telling her that humans didn't exist. Which was very ironic.
Cora redirected the subject and asked Xuan "An-Anyways, what did Mr. Roe mean when he said you found me in the Midnight? I highly doubt he meant the time midnight,"
Luna looked a little irritated that Cora was ignoring her comment and was changing subjects with Xuan.

Luna backed away from Cora while sighing "Yes, mother,"
Cora looked to the woman when she asked her, and she was about to try and answer again, but the woman kept speaking and eventually told someone named Xuan to go and get some tuna. She looked to see a merman nearby leave the cave. After he was gone, Cora this time managed to get herself off of the cave floor, and get herself floating (albeit she had to use her tail a couple of times to keep her from sinking again).
Luna looked to Cora and she asked "So, what's your name? Oh wait…you can't tell us can you?"
Cora thought about it, before her facial expression changed to show she had an idea. She gestured, using her hands to look like she was writing, hoping to convey that she could write and communicate with them that way, since she had no idea how to use telepathy like the merpeople in front of her.
Soon the merman from earlier, Xuan returned with another, and Cora listened as the clearly older merman introduced himself and his family. After he did so, Cora decided to try and introduce herself. She gestured the letters of her name, C-O-R-A, and then pointed at herself, in hopes that they would understand her self-introduction. When Roe mentioned that she was found in the midnight, she raised a confused eyebrow. What did he mean by in the midnight? She answered his question with a shake of her head. She could remember that strange woman and what she did to her on the beach. But unless midnight referred to the beach, then she wouldn't be able to answer his question.
When Shine handed her the small bits of tuna, Cora nodded, trying to gesture a thank you to Shine. She listened as Shine and Roe talked to each other about Cora's parents, which in turn made Cora pale in anxiety. Cora knew that after this incident, if she were to go back, her parents would probably never let her out of a house alone ever again. She silently told herself that there was probably no turning back now if she valued her freedom.
As Mimi spoke, Cora wondered if they would know anything about the strange woman she just met, and if they know how she can go back to being human again. Wait…do they even know about humans, or are humans myth to them just as merpeople are myth to humans? Wait! This was probably another dream anyways! Why was she worrying about this?! She could just wake up in her bed anytime soon! A million thoughts was flying around in Cora's mind, as tried to think of what to do.

She could just wake up in her bed anytime soon! A million thoughts was flying around in Cora's mind, as tried to think of what to do.
The first thing Cora noticed as she started to regain consciousness was the warm temperature of her surroundings. At first she thought that she was in her bed and was waking up from a dream. She opened her eyes to see only darkness, and she noticed that the atmosphere around her was heavier for some reason. She winced as her chest twinged slightly from the same burning pain from before, and she had her hand over her chest briefly in reaction, only taking her hand off when the pain passed. Cora tried to look around around, trying to see where she was, but her eyes were taking their sweet time to adjust.
Cora heard an older woman's voice speak "Hm? Oh! You're awake," Cora opened her mouth trying to speak as she normally would, only for no voice to come out, and only to hear burbling instead. She blinked in confusion, and tried again only to get the same result. She grabbed at her throat in worry as the woman's voice laughed at her in amusement (and almost condescendingly), "Don't you know how to talk properly? You don't use your mouth in the water. Everybody knows that!"
Cora looked up to the source once she noticed that her eyes had adjusted (she could tell because she could see the cave walls now), and the person she saw gave her quite a shock. She saw a beautiful mermaid, floating right in front of her, in the flesh! Cora's mouth was open in a gape and her eyes were as wide as dinner plates. The older mermaid, an elder sister of Xuan's named Luna, called "Mother, our guest is awake!" Luna turned to look at Cora again and she raised an eyebrow asking "What?" Cora had closed her mouth and and was trying to mentally process what she was seeing.
Cora shook her head and started to trying standing up, but fell over after her first attempt (which was surprisingly difficult), and Luna laughed at her "What are you doing? That's a weird way of getting up off of the floor," Luna continued laughing, as Cora looked at her legs to see why she couldn't stand, only to see that she had a tail instead. She stared in surprise and horror, her face hidden as she looked down, as she realized just what that stranger had done to her.
She thought to herself trying to tell herself that maybe this was just some weird dream and that she was going to wake up soon! She always thought that merpeople were just myth and that they didn't exist.

Reiko smiled at Draken when he complimented her on her punch and said "Thanks," When he asked where she learned how to punch like that, she wanted to tell him that she learned from her training, but she didn't because they were still in front of her parents, so she shrugged in reply.
The King cleared his throat and said to Draken "Mister Draken, I would appreciate it if you didn't encourage that from my daughter," He then looked to Reiko and said "Reiko! That is not how a Princess should behave!"
Reiko protested "He insulted all of us! I'm surprised you haven't done anything in response!"
The King sighed "Our Kingdom and the Inari Kingdom had an agreement to wed you two! Now that that agreement has gone up in flames, we lose some of our defenses!"

Cora groaned as the sun shined her face, effectively waking her from her slumber. She curled under her covers trying to get back to sleep again, but she had no such luck as she heard her parents call for her, "Cora! It's time to wake up! Breakfast is ready!" She groaned and got up out of bed, looking out of the window to see the island before heading to the dining room.
Cora Remington was born to a rich family of a successful business, with no siblings. Some may consider this to be a blessing, but for Cora, this was more of a curse, because the drawbacks outweigh the benefits. Her parents were overprotective in a way that made them seem almost paranoid (at least to Cora). They also controlled almost every aspect of Cora's life, which included choosing her friends for her, and arranging a marriage for her. Cora loved her parents, but she hated the fact that they were so controlling. Living like that was like trying to live without breathing air. She wanted to make her own choices and follow her dreams, but that didn't seem to be happening anytime soon. Every time she made her own decision, her parents would send her on an immediate one way guilt trip.
After she ate her breakfast of pancakes and fresh fruit with her parents, she went into the bathroom to change out of her PJs and into her bathing suit and light blue sundress, with sandals and a wide brimmed hat to block the sun. As she did she heard her parents call "Hang out with your friends today! We don't want to hear that you've been by yourself again,"
Cora sighed as she exited the room with a large bag filled with stuff for her time at the beach, including a fresh bottle of water, "Yes, Mom and Dad, I'll do that,"
She honestly didn't want to hang out with her so-called 'friends'. They were awful in personality and they were only nice to Cora because she was part of the Remington family. They were more interested in going to parties and getting drunk while Cora was much more interested in reading a good book for fun.
She left the house and walked across the beach. They were at the Remington's private island because Cora and her 'friends' were on spring break from college. Cora honestly preferred to have stayed at college and get some work done ahead of time, but her parents, once again, 'insisted' that she and her friends come to the island for their break. Cora enjoyed the peace and silence she had as she walked across the beach, with her sandals off and in her hand. However, that peace didn't last, as her 'friends' arrived. The leader, Tina called to Cora "Yo Cora! 'Sup?"
Cora mumbled distantly in reply "Nothing much…"
After her reply, the 'friends' followed her talking about things that Cora was never interested in, and whenever they said something offensive, Cora mentally said otherwise in her mind. She didn't speak up against them, because she didn't want to be involved in that kind of discussion with anyone in general.
However, the group soon came upon a limp body of a woman wearing rags, just lying in the sand away from the tide. The woman had strange crimson hair, and the rags looked eerily like seaweed. Cora widened her eyes in concern and her mouth open in a slight gape when she heard the woman groan, as she looked up to the group "He…Help…Help me….Need…wat-water…"
Cora was about to rush to help the woman, but Tina sauntered forward and kicked the woman, making Cora gasp, and the woman cough in pain. Tina sneered "Hey! You do know that this is a private beach, right? You want water? Go and drink from the ocean!" Tina kicked the woman again, and the rest of the group, except Cora, laughed.
Cora stepped forward, and pushed Tina away from the woman angrily. For Cora, this was going too far. After that, she said to Tina and her 'friends' angrily "What is wrong with you?! All of you! She needs help!"
Tina was surprised and she snapped back at Cora "What's in it for us? Why should we help some nobody?" She continued, sneering at Cora instead of the woman, "You know, we had our suspicions about you. You really are a little freak aren't you? After all, what sane person would prefer studying over a party?" She sighed and said "Fine. We'll let you do your thing. Come on guys. Let's leave the little freak with that nobody," Tina and her friends left Cora behind with the woman, laughing at loud jokes that made fun of Cora.
Cora ignored them and helped the woman up asking "Are you alright, ma'am? I'm terribly sorry about what just happened. Here," She handed the woman the bottle of fresh water to her.
The woman smiled at Cora as she stood up, and said, "I'm fine, dearie. Thank you," The woman accepted the water and drank a small sip of it.
Cora asked in concern for the stranger's well-being, "What happened? Do you need help? I could call for someone to come and take you back to your home if you like,"
The woman shook her head and said "It's alright dearie. You helped me enough. However, I would like to bestow you a gift,"
Cora raised an eyebrow at the mention of a gift and she said "No, you don't have to-"
The woman insisted "But I wish to do so! In return for your kindness!" The strange woman continued, her hand now clenched around Cora's arm, "You wish for freedom, correct? To live your own life and have real friends of your own, hm?" Cora didn't answer, out of a growing fear of the woman, and the woman finished "I'll give you that freedom, right now!"
Cora winced when the woman's grip on Cora's arm tightened tenfold and she said to the woman, "Please, let go! My arm hurts!" Cora then noticed that the woman seemed to be mumbling incoherent and incomprehensible words that Cora couldn't recognize. All of a sudden, the two of them were glowing with different auras. Cora had an earthly toned green aura while the woman had a very light blue aura. She noticed that the both of their colored auras were slowly changing to the other color out of the two. Soon Cora's aura was light blue while the woman's was green. The auras faded and the woman let go of Cora's arm and backed away from Cora by one step.
Cora started to ask "What did you-" before she suddenly felt pain. She gasped as she fell over. She felt as though her chest was burning from the inside.
The woman sighed and said to herself "Finally…! I'm human…!" She then looked to Cora who was gasping and on the ground in pain, and she said "Oh that's right. You've been on land for all of your life as a human. So you're going to die if you're not in the ocean. Don't worry, I won't let you die so early…you kind-hearted fool," Cora couldn't ask the woman anything because she soon fainted from the pain. After Cora fainted, the woman waved her hand over Cora's body and it disappeared.
*~*~*
Cora's body reappeared in the ocean in the Midnight layer. She was lucky she was unconscious as her body had changed into that of a mermaid's. A light blue tail replaced her legs and her auburn hair grew longer. Had she been awake during this part, she would have gone through more pain. She was breathing steadily as she fell slowly through the ocean water.

For now, my character's appearance
Shara noticed Draken was whispering under his breath and she asked "Sir?" right before the guard dogs broke free from their knights' grips, and attacked the Prince.
The Prince screamed in pain from the guard dogs biting him, and squealed "Get them off! Get them off of me!" Soon enough there was a whistle and the guard dogs left the prince and laid down beside Draken. Reiko looked to see that Draken was up and how the guard dogs seemed to be obeying his will. After he spoke to the parents, who were surprised to see the Prince was up, Fernand glared at Draken with a smirk and he asked "And who are you to request anything of the Suijima royalty, Commoner?!"
Reiko stood up for Draken and spoke "He is Draken! You would be wise to listen,"
The Prince blinked and asked "Draken? You think this mortal is the God of Creation?" He then started guffawing at the man, and at Reiko. He continued "How foolish! He is no Draken! I only see a con man getting the best of royalty!" This time, Reiko didn't hold back. She grabbed the Prince's shirt, and punched him in the face, knocking him backwards. He yelled after he landed on his bum, holding a hand over his nose, "My Face! YOU HIT MY FACE!!!"
Reiko warned "I'll do worse if you don't leave!"
The Prince glared at Reiko and Draken before he left.

Shara yelped out of surprise when Draken screamed and jolted awake. She placed a hand over her heart as she panted to calm herself down. She grumbled silently to herself wondering why she kept on getting scared today. She looked at Draken when he asked her and she curtsied answering "I'm Shara, a maid of this castle. I'm here because Lady Reiko wanted me to take care of you in her absence," When he suddenly got up and started walking, saying that he had to go, Shara protested as she followed him to the throne room, "But sir! You need to rest! You shouldn't be walking around yet!" Soon the both of them reached the throne room to see Reiko was talking to a very handsome prince. However, it looked as though the conversation was anything but pleasant.
When the Prince arrived, he had bowed to the King and Queen, but not to Princess Reiko. After he had bowed and greeted the King and Queen, they introduced him to Reiko, and the Prince studied her as she reluctantly greeted him politely, "It's nice to meet you, Prince Fernand,"
The Prince smirked at her and he said "Yes, yes, nice to meet you too. So, I'm supposed to marry you? You really don't look like much. You just appear as an average commoner. No matter, I'm sure you will have your uses,"
Reiko didn't mind being compared to a commoner, what she did mind was that this Prince would just so casually insult her for no reason! And what did he mean by her having her uses?! The nerve of this Prince! She just wanted to punch him, but she knew that she couldn't do it in front of her parents. Her hands were clenched into tight fists, as she tried to keep control of her anger.

Mei blinked at Ariel's answer, but didn't say anything to her and instead listened to what Igor had to say. When he apologized to her about not finding a family for her, Mei blinked in realization. Was he the stranger the Buddhist monks had told her about? The man who brought her to the temple? Almost all of her suspicion went away after hearing that. She commented to him in a mumble "You don't have to apologize for that," She listened as he continued and told them that if they believed him or wanted to know more, then they could follow him.
Mei was a bit surprised to see Ariel follow him. She stepped forward as well and grabbed onto Igor's jacket while she said "I want to find out," She wanted to see this 'magic' for herself, and she wanted to know more about the possible man who brought her to the Buddhist Temple. What did he know of her? Plus, she couldn't in good conscious, let Ariel go alone. Who knows what would happen?

Reiko's concern grew as Draken whimpered in pain when she wrapped his bandages. She listened as he thanked her and apologized to her, mentioning that he was taken off of his throne by his brother. She said to him "For now, please don't worry. You need to rest and use your energy to heal. You should get some sleep," Soon enough after she said her last statement, he closed his eyes. She noticed that he seemed to be having nightmares, and as much as she wanted to stay by his side, she knew that her parents wanted to talk to her. Reluctantly she sighed silently and she turned to face Shara. She said to her, "Shara, please keep an eye on him. Give him whatever he needs, and make sure that he rests and heals properly,"
Shara bowed and answered "Yes, my lady,"
Reiko then headed to the throne room where her parents waited for her, and once she appeared, her parents once again, started reprimanding her for skipping out on her studies. She ignored them for the most part, until her father spoke "Today, your betrothed is coming here! He'll be here soon enough,"
She asked in shock "What?! What ;betrothed?!"
Her mother answered "You're arranged to marry a prince, remember?"
Reiko widened her eyes and groaned. She really didn't want to, and before she could start protesting a knight came in and called "Your Highnesses! The Prince of the Taiyou Kingdom has arrived!"
The King answered "Good! Bring him here!"
As the messenger left, Reiko glared at her father, and her father silently told her not to protest, and to be nice to the Prince.
