Zatanna, The Strangest Of Them All

by TheCherryBlossumWriter

Zatanna, a mermaid princess, was always different. While everyone around her was able to speak backwards, a mermaids native tongue, what she said would become reality. Zatanna thinks nobody understands her, until she meets a human named Dick Grayson... NOW COMPLETE! (Sequel is soon to come)

1. Prologue

This a story I've been thinking to wrote an I kind have some ideas so I'll make an prologue and if you like I will continue if not I won't. If you don't know about the community that this story is in then I'll tell you: Supernaturally Wicked. It's a great community that a great writer created. You HAVE to read the other stories in this community. Now onto the prologue.

Prologue

Deep in the Italian ocean lived the citizens of Subacqueo. Subacqueo was like any other city, just two things...the citizens were mer-people and the city was underwater. Other than that it was a regular city which was ruled by King Zatarra and Queen Sindella with the help of their daughters Artemis, Megan, and Zatanna. (The youngest)

"Zatanna, dear, why don't you go and play with the other mer-kids, like you sisters?" Sindella asked her 12 year old daughter. "Mother, nobody understands me. It's hard, mom...hiding my powers. When the others speak backwards nothing happens, the don't have to worry. But when I do it...something happens." Zatanna explains tears running down her cheek. (The mer-people's native tongue is speaking backwards but instead when someone speaks backwards it will be underlined. Anyways, Zatanna can't speak backwards so she has one of her sisters translate because the Royal family are the only ones who know how to speak forwards, because of Zatanna's powers.)

"Zatanna, your sisters translate though." Sindella replied. "Yes,but the kids think of me funny when all i do is speak another language I wish I could just get rid of my powers." Zatanna wished. "Zatanna, you grandma had the same powers and she did great things with it. She could...have legs, and breathe above water. She could turn human by just saying 'turn me human'." Sindella said. "Who would ever want to go up to the land and be like those...land-lovers." Zatarra said. "I would..there they speak forwards, mother. They can understand me there..." Zatanna replied. "No, you wouldn't promise me you will never go above the water." Zatarra said sternly. "I promise father..." Zatanna said saddly but what her parents didn't see was that she had her fingers crossed.

Subacqueo is underwater in Italian, and Zatanna is Italian.
