Mermish
Ancient Greek
After Harry fell asleep Azrea was tempted to go under the waves to inform her sisters of her discovery but not knowing how the young boy would react to an increase of pressure Azrea just decided to whistle for her sister who she had come to the surface with. "Merala come here please."
"Yes sister how can I help you?" A mermaid with green hair asked seeing her sister near the surface.'
"Sister I found a trunk with a young male surface dweller in it. I have promised the child that I would take him to the island closest to here but I do not wish to do him harm by taking the trunk he was in to our trove." Azrea said pushing Harry under water slightly so that Merala could see him.
"Do you mean the island in our territory or the one out of our territory in the nymph's realm. Or the slightly larger one that marks the one location where our tribes mingle. I will take the trunk." Merala said kindly to Azrea.
"What do you mean there is two other islands nearby? I thought there was just the one in our territory. Which one would you suggest?" Azrea asked now confused.
"I so often forget you are the youngest sister, Azrea, I would suggest the one in the middle ground as mother is planning on moving us there for a season so she can mate with Nereus and as grandfather Triton forbids the naiads, nymphs, and Oceanids from coming into his children's territory without great grandfather's permission she has to go into a small water cave that is right on the dividing line." Merala said before touching Harry's arm waking him up.
"Are we at the island yet?" Harry asked kindly.
"No dear child. How are you able to speak under the waves?" Merala asked before looking at Harry a bit closer.
"I can speak underwater? I have never done that before." Harry said kindly to the new mermaid.
"Azrea take the child to the island I mentioned I will ask mother to hasten the move. In the meantime I wish for you to put him upon the beach and watch for any odd behavior." Merala said to her sister.
Once Azrea heard the request of her sister she pulled Harry into her bosom and swam quickly to the border of the two races territories before quickly finding the island. "Child I wish for you to find food for yourself and possibly find other life upon the island." Azrea said before diving once more into the water.
Harry hearing and understanding the kind mermaid decided to walk the beach for a minute before hearing a noise coming from one of the areas. "Hello whoever you are please come out."
Coming from the bushes three women came out wearing nothing but a belt with a sword on it and each holding a spear. "Man how dare you speak the Holy Tongue of the Amazon?!" One of the women that had brown hair said before pulling her sword and cutting Harry across the face.
"Lethe who are you to choose a punishment for a child? That is a job for the queen alone. Child I am Melanie these are my apprentices Lethe and Lara. How may I ask did you find your way to this island?" A second woman with black hair asked.
"I do not know for sure ma'am I was thrown overboard by my uncle in a trunk. I then was helped by a beautiful woman with a fin for legs and blond hair who got me here so I could find food for myself." Harry said kindly.
"See Lethe there is nothing wrong with the child." Melanie said smiling at Harry.
"Melanie it is a male so it should just go back to the water where it came from and never return." The first woman said before she grabbed Harry and threw him a short distance into the air and he was above the water when a fountain of water covered in shadows, coming from a mountain forming from a pit air which also emerged a serpent
"Child of Prometheus you dare harm our Child Chosen by Chronos as he viewed the strands of time to bring balance to this world. Allowing us to not touch our child until he entered one of our living realms." A voice that sounded almost like many voices all at once said which caused the women to tremble.
"Great Being who art thou. We are daughters of Artemis and chosen by Zeus to remain pure from the beginning by not touching males other than our slaves and this child is too young to be our slave for mating and cooking." Lethe said smirking at the fountain trembling.
"Oh how the mighty have fallen to non remembrance. We are Nyx, Chaos, Chronos, Eros, Physis, Ophion, Pontus, Hemera, and Ananke. We are the mothers and fathers of creation. Look to your book of prophecy it shall say that there will come a day when a child will come to the land of Artemis and bring her daughters to the era of strength they have lost by mating solely with weak, almost dead men. This child will marry the queen of three women tribes and learn of the craft of his fourth lover Artemis. He will then return to the world of man to rid the world of Hecate his mother of the evil of her last great son who was turned by Erebus."
