Full Summary:
Mermaids are some of the most wonderful and mysterious creatures of all the oceans, full of secrets that no one has seen. But a man, a single ordinary man, is about to lay bare the secrets of the ocean. And with the secrets of the mermaids, lays the secret of Neverland itself. Will Neverland cease to exist?
Tinkerbell fluttered over the Mermaid Lagoon. Something was happening in the depths of the waters. Something that did not happen every century. A mermaid was being born. Deep in the recesses of the caves, a young mermaid was starting to live. The young mermaid Coraline was deep in the throes of birth-pain. The other mermaids could only watch in amazement. Fairies flocked from all over the island, to witness this miracle of nature and life. The red bubbles from Coraline exploded on the surface of the lagoon, sending out sharp cries of pain and soft exclamations of joy. They softened, grew less and suddenly ceased. Pure white bubbles appeared, and they grew in intestity and numbers, as the mermaids swam their weak sister up, up to the moon.
For if a mermaid sees not the moon the first night of her life, she will never truly be a mermaid, as mysterious as the moon, and as the stars that sparkle so entrancingly, yet so painfully, for they yearn for stars, yet can never reach them. It is eternal pain, and eternal longing.
Tinkerbell watched in astonishment, as the mermaids broke the surface,the newest member of their sisterhood supported by their strong arms. Yet, even as this took place, the mermaids could feel a power from their sister, a power unexplained. As she opened her deep blue-green eyes, and saw the stars, she reached up a pale hand, gave a soft crooning cry,and a star danced down from the heavens, and landed gently in her hand.
The mermaids shouted out in amazement, splashing about in wonder and fear. Who was this mermaid who could charm stars from the sky with a single flick of the wrist? The others stared as the mermaid cupped the tiny star in her perfect hands, her blue hair flowing over her shoulders, and blending in with the water so well, they could not tell what was hair and what was water. She looked at the star as if it were a living thing, almost lovingly. She then gently threw it up into the air, and it shot back into it's place in the heavens, leaving behind a trail of stardust that outshone fairy dust.
The other mermaids and fairies gasped in wonder and immediately crowded around the newcomer, asking her hundreds of questions. The newcomer looked befuddled at the sudden attention, but she answered every question to the best of her ability.
The only one not crowding around the mermaid was Tinkerbell. Questions poured through her brain like a dam that was leaking. Who was this mermaid? What was the extent of her powers? Did anyone else know about this? Could she be the one? The one to heal Neverland? Tinkerbell flew away, to the tree house, in search of Peter. Maybe this mermaid was different, in more ways than one.
The mermaid was named Star, after the wonder that she had called down. Her second name was Light, but her hidden name, well, no-one but the mermaids knew it. For if a boy, or man, discovered it, that person could control that mermaid with a single word. But no-one could discover the secrets of the mermaids, for they keep them deep in their subconscious, hidden even from themselves.
But a man, as tall and dark as the end of time, has been studying these creatures, and the activities of that night did not escape his notice. He watched as the star shot back up into the heavens, leaving it's trail of dust. He smiled grimly to himself, and wrote his observations in his journal, for he intended to harness this power, and use it for his own gain. That man is Hook, and he constantly desires to rule Neverland, and make it his. It was his, but then that infernal boy came, and ruined his paradise.
He looked at his bare arm, pale in the candle-light. White scars spelled out a word...NEVERLAND. How long had it been since he had started to dream of his paradise? He had finally found it after years of searching the earth's oceans...then that brat showed up, with his armada of boys and took over his Neverland. He had been here first!! Finders keeprs!! But that was all past now, all he had left in his heart was revenge...And with the help of the mysteries of the mermaids, he could destroy that child and take back Neverland. His paradise...His Neverland...
Tinkerbell shot into the tree house, and pulled at one of Peter's locks of hair as he lay sleeping. He grunted, brushed her away, and resumed sleeping. Tinkerbell sighed, then using all of her power built up inside her, tossed him out of his hammock. He hit the ground with a dull thud. He sat up, rubbing his head, and groaning.
"Tiiiinnnkkkk..." he mumbled, his voice clogged with sleep. "Why'd you do that...?" He yawned and stretched his arms out, releasing them from the kinks of slumber. Tinkerbell was very excited.
"Peter, you won't believe this!" she cried, fluttering about him, trying to make him get up on his feet.
"You're right, I probably won't." he said, standing up, and rubbing his eyes. He yawned again.
"Peter. The most splendid thing happened in the Mermaid Lagoon last night!"
"What?" he said, grabbing an apple, and starting to eat it.
"A mermaid was born!"
"WHA-?" he cried, spitting out the piece of apple. "A-A new mermaid?"Tinkerbell nodded happily.
"Golly! What's her name?"
"They have named her Star."
"That's a kinda weird name, for a mermaid." he said as he took off from the tree house, and flying in between the trees on the way to the mermaid lagoon.
"That's why! She did something strange! Even Mother Dove cannot do this! I doubt even you can do this, actually."
"What'd she do?" asked Peter, dodging a large trunk, and almost colliding with a boa.
"She charmed a star from the sky!"
Peter crashed into a tree and fell to the ground. He lay there, looking up a Tinkerbell with a mixture of stunned disbelief on his face. Tinkerbell giggled, and Peter laughed.
Down at the mermaid lagoon, the newest member played her first game of "Toss the Bubble" in the sunlight, unaware that evil eyes were watching her from the shore.
Weeeeeeelllllllll...? How is it?
