The goddess Rina
Once upon a time lived a goddess named Rina. She had flowing hair and cared for her people more than her own life. But when threat came to the 7 seas, she escaped with much begging. Threats such as underwater monsters had wanted her treasure.
Such as
Shell neclaces
Deep sea jewels
Gold jewelery
And much more.
On the shore the goddess was even more beautiful. She made enemies, who were jealous, and friends, who looked past her looks. Then one fateful night, she walked on the beach, crying for home. After being away only 2 weeks she seemed desperate to return home.
But she couldn't endanger her people. she sang songs about home in mermaid language, and even told herself stories. She knew if anyone was watching she daren't play in the water, or control it.
She was on land to find the God of water, the only way to save the 7 seas was to find him and destroy the demons. But without him she was useless and he without her was to. She felt tears coming to her eyes, before she heard a voice.
"Are you alright?" Fear struck her as she turned around to see a a man with the same green eyes.
"Y-yes I'm fine, thank you"
"What language were you speaking in?"
"Oh, um... German."
"Really?"
"In my kind of...German"
He laughed. "Did anyone tell you your voice sounds like a melody?"
That comment had no affect
"Yes."
"Oh..."
"So where are you from?"
He seemed really suspiciouse.
"I'm from uh... um... Hawaii."
"You don' seem like your Hawaiian."
"Oh, well we moved when I turned 2...."
"And where are you from?" He said quickly
"....The Bahamas..."
"Really?"
"Y-yes"
"Oh...."He had a faraway look. Much like her own.
"Where do you live?" Could it be possible he was after her treasure?
"Pearl apartments." Duh.
"I live at the Algae house." Algae house was a mansion with 19 people living there. A boarding home.
"I see." She remembered her castle and her mansion for the poor. And all kinds of mermaids.
Ispians, Decras, Morscanes, Jevelaes, and her own, the Queelas.
She looked at him carefully. The green eyes were like hers, impossible that a regular human can have them. So he is a demon! She thought.
"I'm going." she said in a cold voice and left him confused.
..........
The goddess thought for a long time about him. He looked her age, 15, and yet he had the green eyes.
Then one sunny afternoon, laying on blankets at the Sea Park, with her 3 best friends she dozed off, dreaming about her kingdom, underwater. When she woke up she felt tired and a bad taste came to her mouth, for not eating since breakfast.
"Is something wrong?" asked purple-haired Senna
"Yeah, you look kinda pale." said turquoise-haired Talie
"Are you lacking in math class?" asked Unna, who had gray hair, and didn't like getting B's.
"What?No-never mind."
Her 3 best friends raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing really." She can't tell them it's mermaid business.
They looked disappointing, "WAIT!" There heads turned to Talie
"Cute boy 3' o'clock!"
Rina rolled her eyes. Silly Talie.
"He's cute, even his eyes are different."
Her heart pounded. It couldn't be him.....could it?
"He has white hair, and--"
Rina sighed a relived sigh. Thank goodness.
"He has a cute friend to!"
"Ohhh, lats catch their attention!"
"Guys!" moaned Rina
Their attention snapped back.
"What?"
Ignoring their confused looks Rina said "Anyway I was thinking a slumber party at my house."
"For friendship day?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I'll-"
"It doesn't matter as long as you bring presents for each other tomorrow!"
............
Rina got undersea pearls for them, handpicked. It was dangerous to be in the water but she couldn't help it. They were her best friends after all.And she made sure to do it really early in the morning. So she sent them to be made into jewelry, and picked them up yesterday.
Senna's
Talie's
Unna's
Her friends arrived and decided that they would act like kids, for that day anyway. They played Twister, Rina won, she was a mermaid, and had to be flexible. Card games, smart Unna won. Football {??} Sporty Talie won. And Charades, Senna won, being a cheerleader.
"I'm hungry!" yelled out Talie after 2 hours.
"I bought sushi." exclaimed Unna. Getting up and going into the kitchen.
They ate the sushi, all except Rina. She ate chips, she couldn't even look at them while they ate. That salmon could have been a friend.
They played like children for another 3 hours before one by one falling asleep.
...........
The next morning after eating pancakes, and giving each other presents {Which they by the way loved} the 3 non-mermaid girls left, and Rina sat alone thinking of home. It was only 2 weeks after leaving, and she was lucky enough to have friends already......But still.......
Then putting on a new pale green skirt, a new silver headband, and a white knitted Shaw {presents from her friends} she went outside to the ocean. Breathing in the salty air she felt even more homesick. How long will I have to stay? I'm a goddess yet, can't protect myself? I'm so pitiful. She thought. And right out of the ordinary......
"Hiya." Rina turned around to see HIM.
"Oh.....hi."
"Are you mad?" Why would she be mad? She didn't even know him. Why would he ask her that? What a weird guy,he had no right to ask her.
"No?" it came out more like a question.
"Oh."
Pause.
"Oh...."
"Mine names Hiro."
"I'm Rina." She could have made a up a fake name yet she blurted it out without thinking.
They walked along the shore, Rina trying to leave, but he didn't get the clue. And to make matters worst he kept asking questions. At one point they stopped walking when they were on the rocks. Rina and Hiro kept a distance away from the water, Rina because she was a mermaid, and Hiro, well... she didn't know. On land she had black hair with pale skin, and in the water she had green hair, with pale sand color skin. She looked at the water expecting to see a demon emerge. If one did she could feed nosy Hiro to it, giving her a chance to escape.
Hiro studied Rina for a long time, and out of nowhere. "Are you a mermaid?" She froze. No, this is really bad! No, he couldn't find out! Out of nowhere to! If one said this directly to a mermaid she will turn into her true form! But-I-never-killed!!! But this was for her people.Barely whispering she said 3 simple words.
"Ajbdfleyrugfob, dgferuygbinogscj, btgiouvhnegir." A wave rose, the sand becoming quick sand, it would suck him in if he didn't drown from the wave, quick sand would suck in the mortal, but not the immortal.
She looked back. He was standing there on one knee. He wasn't getting sucked in!!!
"Princess Rina Lucia Haanaa Kazeinn." She couldn't breathe. "I found you, goddess."
Epilogue
It turned out Hiro was the god of water, like Rina was the goddess. He came to find her. So in the end they killed the demon king and restored peace. Rina continued to visit her human friends,and be ruler of the 3 seas.{Hiro was the ruler of 4 seas.} They married 2 years later {Mermaids usually marry at age 16}. She married at 17. They had four kids. Senna, Talie, and Unna. The oldest one was a boy though and was named after Hiro's best friend Aary. **I wrote this really fast, so don't be upset if you wanted more details**
