AN/ This is the teaser page. Chapter 1 will be posted soon.
(New Providence Island)
"Alright come on," A hushed female voice said in the darkness.
"I'm not going…" another female voice whispered.
"What?!" The first demanded. "What do you mean? We have to go, this is why we came here! We don't have time for your games Loreley."
"I'm not playing a game, Amatheia. I'm staying here in the harbor. It is safer that way." Loreley responded.
"Oh now don't tell me the great Loreley, the storm of the ocean is afraid of a few men." Amatheia said the sarcasm clear in her voice. "They are weak creatures given to lust and rage, who cannot even survive in the water. They are nothing to you..."
"I fear no one," Loreley growled. " But we are going into THEIR world, where we are the ones who cannot survive, and they are the monsters. Once you step upon that beach you will be powerless. I would rather stay here in the harbor where I have the power to help you should something go wrong. Not to mention I would only slow you down. You know that world...I do not...I would be a hindrance to the mission."
(silence)
"Perhaps you are right. I do not believe these men are ready yet for the fury of the Loreley." the grin was apparent in her voice. "But are you quite certain this has nothing to do with a small fear of going on shore ?"
An angry hiss was her response.
"Very well, you stay here in the harbor with Verci and Moa. I will call you if I need you. Do not allow anyone to enter or leave. If I do not come back in an hour….you know what to do…."
"If you do not come back in an hour...They will never knew this island existed." Loreley growled.
"And Loreley…"Amatheia whispered again her voice deadly serious. "Do not harm or eat any human…..for the sake of the child. These men are vengeful to say the least and express their fear through anger. If you bring any of them harm before we have rescued her….I fear her safety."
Loreley snorted, "Vile...Disgusting creatures….very well…..I promise to harm no human until we have rescued the child….But I do not understand why we should care...They were the ones who attacked our island and stole our child. What could they possibly want with a mermaid child?"
"I do not know Loreley...but we must bring her back or I fear the worst...war is coming…."
The sound of the waves crashing against the beach covered the womens' hushed voices. A shadow darted out of the water and up the beach headed towards the town. The only evidence of her presence were several drag marks in the sand coming from the ocean that quickly turned into foot prints leading towards the glow of lanterns and the sounds of merriment at the tavern.
AN;
I realize this isn't much to go by. But I had this rather awesome dream about the pirates of Black Sails clashing with an island of mermaids. More will follow soon.
Next Chapter: We will jump back in time before the child was stolen.
Thank you so much for reading please let me know what you think!
