Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN MAKO MERMAIDS! Oh and if you have not read Birthmark or Legacy, check it out. Because you'll get unnecessary spoilers if you don't.

Are you guys ready to be blown away? One of the most anticipated fanfics of the archive, Legacy, is now opening its doors, because you're going behind the scenes with the creator herself, to get the inside scoop!

Kuro: Alright, Alright! (cue clapping). Now we have a lot of ground to cover today, we've got a lot of stuff to reveal and a whole list of secrets about Legacy to share. We have mourned the loss of Aquata, we're missing Sirena, we're still coming to terms about those shocking plot twists, and we've had some pretty good laughs as well, as well with the astounding dual episode of A New Identity. (Cue massive amounts of cheering) And if anyone can tell me who set the fire in San Francisco, please tell me because I really cannot figure it out. But now please welcome the brain that makes this story epic. Without further ado, let me bring up the creator of the Tails of a Half-Blood, Miss Izi Wilson!"

Izi Wilson or for short runs to the panel with a beautiful blue dress that reaches down to her feet. She has short dirty blond curly hair that reaches her neck and deep blue eyes. She is 16 years old.

Izi:"Hey guys! Thank you all so much! All of my work has paid off, I see and I have also parlayed into another fandom. But I gotta say, it was tough and fun writing Legacy, putting all of those elements in the mixing pot. As Kuro said, I'm going to be sharing some secrets about the story and a few previews of the third book, Restoration."

Kuro: So, why don't we get this panel started? First off, I'm going to start with some questions about creating the story. How difficult was it creating a story as complex as it was?"

Izi: "Right when I was writing Birthmark's chapter 16, I was watching the Lion King for story writing. And after that, I watched the Lion King 2 for kicks, and in my mind, the seed for a love story was planted, and then came the rest. What was just a small idea came a universe of multiple arcs and plotlines.."

Kuro: "How did you create several plotlines at the same time?"

Izi: "Don't get me wrong it wasn't easy at first. Especially writing about a gajillion characters at the same time."

Kuro: "What is it about this story that you like?"

Izi: "What I like about it is that, it's not just comedy and the seriousness, there's multiple layers of the emotional set and it's pretty hard to get a sequel that doesn't suck. That was my main goal for writing my first sequel. To make it not suck."

Kuro: "Who was the first character you created?"

Izi: "Raiden was. When I learned about Erik and his role in the show, and when I watched the Lion King 2, I just imagined Erik with a brother and it just spawned into one of the major story arcs."

Kuro: "Why do you call it Legacy?"

Iz: "Because it's literally that, a legacy of the first story."

Kuro: "What was the hardest part of writing Legacy?"

Kuro: "The hardest part was writing the final battle. I didn't have a full out script for that so it was pretty difficult to make that."

Kuro: "Well now that part of the Q&A is out, I'm going to ask you some questions about the characters themselves. What can you tell me about the mermen in this story?"

Izi: "Well for starters, Erik is the parental figure as well as the merman who figures out what he wants to do. The Blade Boys however are this big time gang of troublemaking teens who are basically the opposite of Thalie and her friends. When I first created them, they were first meant to be the polar opposites of the girls and then they turned into something more. Diablo is the party guy, he's the trickster. He likes to have fun but as a mask for his pain because being Veridia's son is a pretty big deal."

Kuro: "Speaking of which, what inspired you to create the plot twist of Veridia having a son?"

Izi: "Well seeing her in season 2, Natalie O'Donnell's portrayal of her, just gave me an inspiration to put in a little irony. And back to my other topic. Xandou is a merboy who is obsessed with speed. He's always willing to get the job done no matter what it is. He can be a playboy but it's not until he makes new friends that he realizes what he wants to do. It's kind of the same as Xhiva Tiraken, who is the complete opposite of Xandou. He's polite and nice and he tries to avoid conflict. But he's got a bit of a temper that matches Xandou's. He is obsessed with technology and somehow even as a merman, he is never more than 5 feet away from his phone. The worst of them all, Raiden Consorzio, is the leader. He is the most bad of the bad boys. He's snarky, can tick somebody off in seconds when he meets them for the first time and he has a way with the ladies. He is also the most powerful of the team."

Kurp: "How did you depict the 4 girls in this story?"

Izi: "The girls have grown up and they've even gotten powers at the same time. They become vigilantees and they risk their lives to save the city and pretty much the world. Along the way, they make some friends and even fall in love all at the same time even though they all have different approaches to them. They do split apart but they also come back together."

Kuro: "What can you tell us about the Sirens Creed?"

Izi: "The Sirens Creed are a team of vigilantes who are mermaids, developed highly advanced technology and devoted to stopping crime and keeping peace. They are inspired from Big Hero 6 which is what A New Identity is based on. They were originally called the Syreni Sisters but then I decided that was a lame name and made it more cool, The Sirens Creed. I decided to make a fic with an arc about superheros because I wanted to just try it and it was a lot of fun shooting the scenes of being a superhero. I'm just glad there are no capes."

Kuro: "What about Zac and Zoe?"

Izi: "Zac and Zoe Khatha, also known as Mimmi are like the Tiraken Twins, but a much more kinder version. Zac is still growing up and Mimmi/Zoe comes across her brother and her cousins along with this new environment. She can be cold and Zac is a total meathead who sometimes acts without thinking. They do clash at each other but then they get along after coming to terms with the news that they are related along with the Consorzios. The reason they have the powers they have is because they are representation of who they are. Zac is hardheaded and always looks on the bright side. Zoe's power is teleportation in darkness because she's moody, you know being a teenager, but she does show her soft side. The reason I made her like that was because I found her character in the original show was too nice. She was too nice and after Sirena, I could not have a character who was too nice. It throws off the whole dynamic and it's old."

Kuro: "Why did you give Erik a little brother?"

Izi: "One of the characters I really loved from the show was Erik. Alex Cubis' portrayal of him was amazing. What I didn't really like about him was that he was too flat. There were only two things he ever cared about; power and Ondina. And that is exactly what drove him off the show. He had all of this potential. He just didn't show it. Raiden is what you would call Erik's purpose in life, he is Erik's link to his humanity. See Erik is the brother I never had or the sibling I never had. Having his father die at a young age and then being left to take care of his brother all on his own helped shaped him into a man. Without Raiden, Erik has nothing to live for. Ondina was also an important piece of his life but I didn't really focus on the shipping too much. You see, brotherhood is what the show lacked. Sure David has Joe but they just showed a sibling rivalry. No love whatsoever. That's why I added a lot more mermen, too many women on this show. And I guess you could call the Consorzio brothers the Hiro and Tadashi of Mako Mermaids. "

Kuro: "Why did you make Zac, Zoe, Erik, and Raiden all related?"

Izi: "Well I wanted to bring the characters closer and I saw that Zac and Erik were kind of similar."

Kuro: "So, we're now done with the questions. As you guys probably know, season 4 of Mako Mermaids is out! Now Izi, can you give us a brief history on writing the second book?"

Kuro: "Yeah well for Legacy, I did a lot of writing. It took me a whole lot of time to plan out. The writing of Legacy went far back as mid 2014. In all the episodes I did a lot of thinking. We got to see the Mako Pod and the Ares finally being united as a clan, which foreshadows a whole new set of surprises for Thalie and the rest of the characters. Over time in the story, there was a lot of drama, action, suspense and a bit of horror, and at the finale, there was a lot of excitement and moral that I wanted to bring into the story itself."

Kuro: "So now that the second book is out, anything you want to tell us about the third book?"

Izi: "Yes, actually I don't have an exact script since I just started my shooting of the scenes. But the synopsis is that it's been 5 or 6 months since the end of Slade and Veridia, the clan is still developing and it is Zac and his class' senior year. They're busy preparing for graduation and college while the Sirens Creed, now with new members, are busy balancing life and vigilante life along with junior year. But not all is peaceful. There's of course the threat of the water dragon that is threatening all of the 5 islands of the clan, along with a return from the past of the Order of Prometheus and a startling secret. And not to mention a whole new species that is affected by the full moon but they are not from the sea. In fact they're more….on the wild side."

Kuro: "What about this villain that is coming up?"

Izi: "Not a lot of info but our girl's name is Xiaohui Zheng, a former EOD specialist for the Chinese Military. EOD means bombs by the way. I will not show any previews because I don't wanna spoil anything. Don't worry guys. There's more to this story than this scene. Trust me, you're going to see a lot of cray-cray in this sequel. Such as the arrival of Weilan.

Kuro: "Izi, tell us more about this Weilan."

Izi: "Weilan is this mysterious sly Chinese mermaid who is what you would call a liar liar pants on fire. She is like the original portrayal but a lot more edgier. Oh and readers, if you have any questions, about the series or the stories themselves, review your questions or PM Ozo them. Because after this chapter she's going to do a 'Q&A from the readers' chapter."

Izi: "Yes I am. And guys, there will be more singing not just from Sirena!"

Kuro: "One more question. Why did you decide to advertise other stories in your own?"

Izi: "Because other people deserve to be heard. Now that you mention it, it seems that there's simply nothing left of this to reveal!"

Kuro: "Yes I am sorry to say that her time here has come to an end for now. But don't worry, she will come back from the dead with other new chapters, with trivia and more! And guys thank you so much for giving Birthmark and Legacy a chance and thank you for all your reviews! Be on the lookout for the third installment. And remember, the third book will take awhile to write, but she will try my best to write it as quickly as possible. And this archive needs more stories, so if you have any imaginations about this show that you want to just get out of your system, I encourage you to either write that story or sign up for Fanficiton. Trust me, it doesn't hurt. And be sure to check out other fanfics, like A Journey Anew."

Izi/Kuro: "On that note GOOD NIGHT AND THANK YOU!"

Don't miss season 4 of Mako Mermaids!
