At the place known as Water's End, under the surface deep deep down in the sea passed the darkness and coldness of the waters, 10,000 meters on the ocean floor was an under water city known as Crystal Palace.
The ocean floor was covered in a crystal like substance creating homes and other buildings; every crystal was attached, forming as one; these crystals rose high off the seabed, reaching for the only light source which was at the peak of the crystal. In the middle was this peak, it was as high as a mountain but hollow. Just below the light source that gave off it's warmth, was the palace itself.
This place was untouched by humans, in fact humans did not even know of it's existence and any stories of the ones who lived in was the myths of the sailors; because this city was populated with mermen and mermaids.
These merfolk were ruled over by a king that lived in the palace. The Merman King had six daughters all beautiful in appearance. But the youngest of all was said to be most beautiful over her older sisters.
Poseidon had light blue eyes with long strawberry blonde hair had she always left flowing behind her, pale creamy skin and her tail striped downwards with light red and pink and a white fin at the end. Around her large breast two yellow seashell cupped them and was tied together with thick yellow rope like seaweed.
Now merfolk were only allowed to the surface once a year but only after reaching the age of fifteen.
And it came about the year of Poseidon's fifteen birthday and she was very excited, she had heard many stories of the world above and wanted to see it for herself.
With the other fifteen year olds Poseidon swam carefully up as it was a long way and that many currents running along as she got higher. It took her two days to break the surface.
"This is the sky." Poseidon said to herself as she looked at the blackest that so many white shining dots that it was almost white, right above her was the largest dot, big and round it left it's image of the surface of the water. "This is amazing!"
Around her many other merboys and mergirls stared at the thing called the sky taking in it's beauty.
She took her eyes away from the sky and glanced at the waters around her, she never really thought about it but the sea was a very big place, all she could see was water water everywhere.
"Where is the thing called land?" Poseidon asks herself as she starts swimming away, but quickly realized that swimming along the top was different than under. So she went under and began swimming just under the surface blinding going straight ahead and away from the school of merfolk.
Poseidon broke the surface once more and glanced around, still nothing the sea as far as the eye could see. Sighing she was about to dived under again when she spotted something floating. Smiling happily she dived and swam fast towards the thing.
She blinked staring at the floating thing giving to place what it was with what she was told.
"A ship!" Poseidon says and clapped her hands together pleased with she remembered the name of this object; then she remembered something else, "Ship are carrying of humans! There are human inside it!"
The little mermaid bit down on her lower lip wanting to go closer but knew of the dangerous of humans. Taking a deep breath in she dived under and swim at full speed; as she came closer to jumped out of the water to see how far she was from the thing. Going under the water she noticed she could do this again, so kept go jumping out of the water every now and again.
Soon she was close enough and bobbed next to the strange structure. Her blue eyes shone with delight as she listened to the lovely music coming from the ship, so different from any music under the sea. Light was coming from the top shining strangely from the lights in the sky.
Seeing a seaweed like rope she started towards it slowly, she now saw how to use her arms for draw herself along on the water's surface. Getting to the seaweed she grabbed hold of it with both hands and was surprised to find it was nothing like the seaweed down below.
Shaking her head Poseidon chose to think about that later, just now she wanted to see some humans.
With all her strength her pulled her body out of the water and gasped, she never knew how heavy her own body could be. It was a lot hard than she first thought but slowly and painfully she climbed the rope thing and reached the hole where the rope disappeared into, reaching out with her arm and holding on with only one she got hold of the edge above and let go reaching up with her other hand at the same time.
She smacked full body against the side of the ship and moaned slightly as her nose began to throb.
"This is what they call gravity..." Poseidon says as she hung there, the sound of the music near by made her gasp once more and pulled upwards, her tired arms screamed in pain but she carried on. Gritting her teeth and closing her eyes she pulled and swung her low body around, sitting her rear of an out sticking part of the ship.
She sat there for a moment trying to recover and listening to the sound of the music. After a while she opened her eyes and smiled, then she carefully turned and lifted herself up and peeked over the side.
There were lot of humans all walking on two legs, they spun around each other laughing along handing hands as they did. She smiled at their joyful faces.
'Come can these people be evil?' Poseidon questions with a slight frown, 'Apart from being freaking looking with those strange legs things and I don't hold that against them, they are just like us.'
Suddenly they all stopped and turned her way causing her to freeze.
'They are see into my mind!' Poseidon thinks in horror to frighten to move, 'Help! Father! Sisters!'
A sound that she never heard behind came, and turning slight she a human man coming. His feet against the ship's floor made the odd strange, she must of not heard it with the others over the music.
Poseidon calmed herself as she realizes that it is him they are all looking at and not her, she back away a little holding onto the side and studied the man.
It was dressed in white from head to toe, the clothing was closed to his skin; black and blue belts ran around the clothes keeping them closer to his body. He had a bubble around his head making her wondering if he can breathe in the air like the other clearly could. Within the bubble the man face was a handsome one, with dark brown hair and large green eyes with peered at the people around him.
He had an feel of royal about him.
'A Prince!' Poseidon thought as she stared at the good looking human, the size of the clothes told her that he had a fine shape to him.
"Good evening my men and my guests!" The man's deep voice boomed out, making the mermaid watching sigh at it, "Today we are going to have our selves a real good time!"
The other humans clapped and cheered at his words, making Poseidon smiled at them quickly before turning back to the Prince.
"Joy Boy and his last strong hold seems to have fallen!" The Prince shouted out causing the people to cheer more loudly than before, "The fight has been won and the last of the evil race will never bother us again! The so called warrior race with it's great civilization is gone! And soon to be forgotten!"
'Evil race...' Poseidon blinks at this as she cowers down, 'So the humans are at war with another race, how scary.'
"Now let us began!" The Prince calls over and the people all cheer again.
