Aquaria Jones
It has been 2 months since Milah's death & Killian has been in a deep depression and being in Neverland with a bloody demon didn't help either. Killian met a Neverland mermaid named Storm that stopped an attack on the ship and 10 months later a baby mermaid was born. Born in Neverland, a place where time stands still. Storm left Neverland with her baby to the Enchanted Forest to visit her great-niece Athena in the Maritime Kingdom so that she can attend the Ursula Ball.
In Maritime Kingdom
''Great-Aunt Storm!'' little five year old Athena exclaimed as Storm swam into the coral made house.
''Hello Athena. Where is your mother?'' Storm asked
''She's out getting ready for the Ball. What's that in your arms Aunt Storm?'' Athena asked looked at the sling in her aunt's arms.
''It's my baby.'' Storm replied moving her arms so that Athena could see the sleeping baby. Athena swam over to her aunt to get a better look at the baby mermaid sleeping in the sling.
''What's her name?'' Athena asked while looking at the baby mermaid who had night black hair & ocean blue eyes with a tail colour that is non-existent to all mermaids.
"And why is her tail like that?" Athena asked while staring at the tail with wonderment for that it looked like the universe was swirling on her tail that had an ombre effect starting with a violet purple at the hips going into a deep blue to a light blue on the fins & a glowing algae green on the tips.
"Her tail is like that because she is a very special mermaid, & she doesn't have a name yet. Would you like to name her?" Storm asked a very excited Athena who nodded very eagerly.
"Aquaria! Her name is Aquaria!" Athena stated while said mermaid woke up at the first sound of her name.
-3 years later-
An 8 year old Athena was swimming hand in hand with a 3 year old Aquaria away from the castle grounds from a visit to her friend Prince Triton and to take Aquaria away from all the prying eyes staring at her tail. Storm had asked Athena to take Aquaria with her to her visit with Prince Triton while a doctor examined her condition. The doctor had told Storm that she had an illness called Aguacidious that gave her only 2 weeks left to live, she would have to bring Aquaria back to Neverland & explain to Killian that she's his daughter. Just that moment Athena & Aquaria swam in smiling and laughing, Storm slowly swam over to the pair to explain that her and Aquaria had to leave. Aquaria went to go get her moon shell necklace & pearl-beaded bracelet, while Storm told Athena that she was sick and would not be able to take care of Aquaria anymore. When Aquaria swam back in she & Athena hugged and said good-bye then Storm & Aquaria started the journey to find Killian.
1.5 weeks later
Killian and his crew had just returned from the Enchanted Forest, the Kingdom of Avonlea with the treasure Pan desired when something hit the side of the ship.
"Mermaids" Killian shouted to his crew as they got prepared with their swords and the cannons at the ready. Killian had his helmsmen Lewis take wheel while he looked over the rail to see where the mermaid was, when a blonde head broke through the surface.
"Killian!" the mermaid, who Killian recognized from 3 years ago the one who stopped the attack on his ship, shouted.
"Hold cannon fire!" Killian shouted over over his shoulder to the crew.
" Killian, thank Poseidon's Triton that I found you! I need to talk to you, can I come aboard!" the mermaid asked looking at the ship.
"Aye, that you can." Killian yelled to the mermaid.
Killian saw the mermaid swim under the water, and Killian told his men that they had a mermaid coming aboard, he looked over the side rail again but the mermaid was nowhere in sight. Just as Killian was going to turn he saw her pop above the surface, he had his men throw over a net to bring the mermaid up on the ship. Once the mermaid was on board the first thing she said was
"Killian I need a favor."
"And why would I do that love?" Killian asked with his cocky smile.
"Because you owe me for saving your ship from that attack." the mermaid stated. Killian always being a man of good form, he agreed.
"What is this favor you need me to do?"
"I need you to look after our daughter." the mermaid said looking into Killian's blue eyes.
"Our What!?" Killian asked the mermaid in shock.
Killian didn't believe what the mermaid said after all, all mermaids are liars. Just as the mermaid was going to say something when a little voice was heard from the waters "mommy!? mommy where are you!?
Killian still in shock, walked over to the rail & looked to see a girl with almost identical features to that of his own but they were on a child.
"Mommy is up here my little fish." the mermaid yelled.
Killian was still staring at the little girl in shock when he heard "Hewo, who are you?" the little girl asked staring at him with curiosity.
"My name is Killian but people like to call me hook."
"Is my mommy up there? Can I come up too?" the little girl asked.
"Aye that you can, if you tell me what your name is." Killian said wanting to know his daughter's name.
"Awaria!" the little girl smiled brightly at him.
"Aquaria." the mermaid said only loud enough for Killian to hear. Killian looked down at the little mermaid who was looking up at him, waiting.
"Well Aquaria, how would like to come aboard a pirate ship"? Killian asked as he watched Aquaria's eyes lit up with excitement and she started to swim wildly. Killian told his crew to lower a net down next to Aquaria so she can go into the net herself, when she was in the net the crew pulled her onto the ship's deck. The crew lowered the net with Aquaria down next to her mom, the crew stared in shock at the mermaid that looked almost identical to their captain but was a girl with a tail. Killian stares at the girl when out of nowhere a bright purple glowing light emitted from Aquaria's tail, when the light stopped Aquaria no longer had a tail but instead had a skirt matching that of her tail and legs. Killian was staring in shock at the transformation then Aquaria in her confusion tried to stand but she was stumbling, Killian rushed over and helped her stand up properly on her legs. Aquaria looked up at Killian when eyes full of delight, she starts to walk with the help of Killian, over to her mother.
"Mommy look, my tail is gone!" Aquaria said to her mother in excitement.
"Aquaria do you remember what I told you about the legends of the high tide." Storm asked Aquaria. She watched her daughter shake her head no.
"At the rising of the high tide until the next one occurs, merpeople have the ability to walk on dry land." The mermaid retells the legend. "Because you are half-human and half-mermaid you can walk on land whenever you want. Aquaria, you are very special. You're the first half-mermaid, but you are also the only one that has ever been born in this land, a land where time stands still. You are capable of so much. Make me proud my little fish." The mermaid says to Aquaria before she looks towards me. "Killian, protect our daughter. Keep her safe. And make sure "he" never finds out about her."
I watch as the mermaid takes her last breath leaving me with my crying daughter.
