The night has fallen upon the sea. In the enchanted kingdom of Siren-Millennia, all of the fishes are fast asleep, and so is the mer-people. Most of the other marine life are nocturnal and they patrol the night away. Inside of the palace, King Neptunium is peacefully sleeping away in his king sized bed. In the princesses' chambers, the royal mermaids were all asleep in their closed clamshell beds, dreaming about everything they could ever imagine before. All except for Valorinna who is preparing for the secret meeting, after waking up from her restful sleep. Essentially her dreams she dreamt of earlier, ultimately gave her a heartache. It made her want to go see the world above the sea even more, which she's so excited about meeting up with her friends outside of the palace. Before she can sneak out of her window pane, Valorinna turns to see if her sisters are deeply sleeping and not watching her. Then Valorinna swam quietly out of the window. She snuck by the guards without alerting them. It's not as easy as it is done, but Valorinna successfully made it to the outskirts of the kingdom grounds. When she got to oceanic meadows, the little mermaid waited for her friends to show themselves up like they promised. After a short minute ago, Olaris and Jasper were the first two to arrive. They don't feel good about this whole situation but they did it for their friend, Valorinna. Once again, they tried to talk her out of it for the last time, but Valorinna is too excited to take heed of their warnings. Then not a minute later, Lou finally showed up, just like he promised the little mermaid that he would.
"So, is everyone ready?" Lou asked them.
"I sure am." said Valorinna for she cannot contain her excitement. "I've been wanting to go to the world above the sea, like forever!"
Olaris sighs in defeat as well as Jasper himself. They felt that they have no choice but to go with them in order to keep watch on princess Valorinna and make sure that no harm will befall on her.
"Oh we are coming too!" Olaris speaks out.
"You guys are coming with us?" Valorinna asked in surprise.
"It looks like we don't have a choice." said Jasper. "Besides, what are friends for?"
"Oh I knew I can count on you guys." says Valorinna as she hugs her tiny friends.
She turns to the whale shark mutant merman.
"So how are we gonna get to the surface?" asked Valorinna. "We can't be spotted by other creatures here."
"I know, Valorinna." said Lou as he smirks slightly. "But I also know someone who can get us there undetected."
"Who is that?" Valorinna wondered.
"Follow me, my friends." says Lou, urging the three to come with him.
Their plan has been set in motion. With the flick of their tails, they all have left the reefs. While on the other side of the ocean floor, the little mermaid and her friends ventured out into the abyss. They found a sleeping whale shark on the edge of the rocks. Lou tickle the creature in order to awaken it.
"Hey! Up and at em!" shouted Lou, tickling its blubber.
"Stop it! That tickles!" laughed the whale shark.
Once it is fully awake, the whale shark notices Lou hovering on the left side of it. He is not amused of the mutant merman and his efforts to wake him up.
"Lou! Is that you who is tickling me!?" scolded the whale shark. "You've interrupted my slumber!"
"Sorry about that, buddy, but this is urgent." said Lou.
"Oh really!? What is so urgent that you have to wake me up at this kind of high tide!?" asked the whale shark.
Valorinna swam to the merman's side, making her presence known before the large creature. The whale shark noticed the little mermaid that Lou had brought with him. He has heard of her before.
"The youngest crown princess of Siren-Millennia!?" the whale shark exclaimed as he quickly pays her, his respects. "What an honor to meet your acquaintance, your highness."
"Why it is nice to meet you too, sir." says Valorinna, bowing like a princess that she is.
"Wow! This whale shark is huge!" exclaimed Olaris, examining the creature's sheer size.
"I hope he's friendly." says Jasper, feeling rather on edge beside Valorinna's hair.
"Oh he is friendly, Jasper." says Lou as he eases the little blue fish's nerves a bit." Trust me. He and I go a long way back."
Jasper believes Lou's words. Then Lou turns to the whale shark and he went on with his exclamation.
"Listen, buddy! I need a favor to ask of you." said Lou.
"What is it this time, Lou?" the whale shark responded.
The muscular mutant merman whispered to the big creature. He asked him to help sneak them to the surface out of watchful eyes everywhere in the sea. The whale shark believes that it is too risky. So he will not help them to the surface. Distraught a little, Valorinna begged for the whale shark to help them. She wanted to see what is like up in the dry mainlands, but the creature refused, even if her innocence won't change his mind. But then again, Lou knew how to get under the creature's blubbery skin. He brought up a time where the whale shark stole a clam full of pearls from the northern ocean tribes and used the pearls to win the affection of the female sea creatures, adoring them accordingly. He busted him by blurting out his secret past. Defeated, the whale shark finally gives in.
"Oh alright! You win, Lou!" sighed the whale shark. "You always win!"
He then opens his wide mouth for Valorinna and her friends to ride in.
"Hop in, everyone!" said the whale shark.
Valorinna and her friends went inside the whale shark's mouth. While all four of them are inside, he swam off to the surface above. The fishes and other sea creatures weren't thinking much of this when they see the whale shark passing through the blue. So far, Lou's plan is working. No one creature knows that the whale shark is carrying the little mermaid and others from inside his mouth, sneaking them away from the crowded areas without any of them noticing much of it. Once they made it to the isolated open waters, it looks like that they are in the clear. The whale shark opens his mouth, allowing them to exit out of him.
"Here we are!" announced the whale shark.
"Thank you so much, kindly." says Valorinna, giving her regards of gratitude.
"What a ride I ever been riding." joked Jasper, feeling a bit better about this adventure.
"Me too." Olaris said in a cheery tone of voice. "We so gotta do this again!"
"Now Lou! You have to guide the crown princess throughout the night." said the whale shark. "You have to be her shield! Protect her with your life and return her back to her kingdom as early as possible!"
"Don't worry, man!" says Lou as he folds his arms quirkily. "I'll make sure that nothing bad happens to her. She is my friend after all."
"You'd better!" said the whale shark sternly. "I'm holding onto you for that! Also, you owe me big time for this favor. Don't you dare forget it!"
"I know! I know..." Lou snickers proudly.
Valorinna swims up to the big whale shark.
"You're leaving us now?" Valorinna asked in wonderment.
"I'm afraid I must, your highness." said the whale shark as he turns around to swim away. "The other whale sharks will come after me if I'm seen with either of you. I have to go now. Safe journey, everyone!"
The whale shark disappears into the blue. Lou urges his friends to follow him upward to the surface. Finally, they arrive on top of the water. Valorinna gasped in delight as she sees the nighttime sky for the first time. The feel of the gentle ocean breeze fiddles with her long hair. She begins to notice the glowing orb hanging in the sky. She thought it is a giant pearl.
"What is that glowing thing in the sky?" asked Valorinna. "A giant glowing pearl?"
"No, Valorinna. That is called the moon." Lou explained to her. "That's the element of the nighttime, in opposite of the sun in the daytime."
"Oh I get it now." said Olaris as she learns something new from Lou. "The sun is the element of the daytime, and the moon is the element of the night."
"How amazing." says Jasper, flickering his fins.
"It's beautiful up here." said Valorinna in a soft voice.
After a few long minutes of gazing at the sky everywhere around them, Lou became increasingly bored of the nothingness.
"This is getting rather boring!" said Lou as he tried to get their energy going. "Let's go somewhere to explore a bit. Otherwise, I won't forgive myself if I brought you guys all the way up here for nothing."
"But where are we going to go?" Jasper asked.
"Who knows, Jasper?" says Valorinna excitedly. "But there's so much more I haven't seen before."
"Well it's better than nothing, that's for sure." Lou added as he put his arms up behind his head. "Come on! Let's go see if we could find some mythical islands."
Valorinna and her friends swam across the surface of the sea, like a tiny pod of dolphins. While they glide through the calm waters, then all of a sudden, a booming noise echoed out of nowhere. The surprising sound startled the little mermaid and her friends. They spotted a white rays of light forming into a portal. Then a large object appears to be coming out of it and it's now placing itself onto the ocean. It was a ship made of the rich state of the arts materials and technology. Valorinna has never seen anything like that ship before, in her life. Intrigued by this rare sight, Valorinna heads towards the ship like a leaping dolphin. Lou tags behind her, leaping like a dolphin as she is. Worried for the both of them, Olaris and Jasper follows them from behind. Once they are all close to the ship's side, Valorinna and Lou both climbed onto the anchor's chains, pulling themselves up to the ledge. From there, the two merfolk peeks into the porthole. What they discover, truly shocks the both of them. On the ship, there were hundredths of people onboard the glorious vessel. Some were nobles, some were rich and others were just ordinary civilians. The difference between them and Valorinna's kind is that they all have strange looking limbs from the waist down. They have no tails like Lou and Valorinna have. In fact, these strange limbs on their bodies are called, "legs". It helps them move around the mainlands, wherever they are from. Before they barely knew it, Lou spoke the name of these creatures.
"I can't believe my own eyes." Lou uttered softly in shock. "Those creatures are humans..."
"Humans?" Valorinna asked after overhearing Lou's words.
"Yes, they are humans, Valorinna." said Lou as he turns to her. "I've heard stories about them. I thought they were just a myth, but I didn't knew that those kind of species exist!"
"Wow! I've never seen humans before." says Valorinna as she glances at the people.
"Neither do I." said Lou.
It seems that they are all celebrating the royal jamboree of a certain someone. They all set off the fireworks, blasting them into the sky. It scared Olaris and Jasper from below the water, but Valorinna and Lou weren't frightened by the fireworks. In fact, they were amused by the flashing colors as the fireworks explode in midair. While the celebration is carrying on, the people are making way for a certain person. That person is a crown prince of Isomoniana. His thick hair is teal as the powerful waves with blonde highlights and aqua hues. His eyes is a shade of hazel brown. He has the softest light skin as radiant as the flames. He has a tattoo on his right arm. With piercings on his ears, made of the combinations of silver and gold. He wore all black, complete with a sleeveless shirt, sleeveless vest, flexible trousers, combat boots and a royal family's christ chained around his neck. As a prince, he wore his family christ proudly. The young man's name is Prince Kellan. He is of the royal blood and he will soon be the one to take the throne of his kingdom. But Prince Kellan could care less about taking his duties seriously. All he wanted to do is to venture the other worlds, help people in need and become even more stronger than he was. While he walking with his brotherhood down the aisle, Valorinna has her sights instantly glued on the strong prince. When gazing upon his face and physique, her heart begins to beat in a strange rhythm. The little mermaid has fallen in love with Prince Kellan, the minute he chats away with the other party guests.
"Oh my aqua! I never seen him before." Valorinna whispers softly. "He is the most beautiful human being I have ever seen in my life."
"Who? That weird hairy guy over there?" joked Lou, pointing at the bare chested sailor on the right.
"What? No! Not that one." says Valorinna, pulling Lou's head to face where she's facing. "The one who is carrying the big sword thingy on his back."
"Oh!?..." exclaimed Lou.
One of Prince Kellan's shield bodyguards came up to his side. The tall muscular black man's name is Axclius, and he is the toughest shield that has ever protected the prince.
"So, what is his majesty thinking about now?" joked Axclius, stretching his biceps. "How about getting a girlfriend at the party for a change?"
"Shut up, Axclius! Don't start with that again." said Prince Kellan, playfully shoving his shield away. "Don't tell me you're not still sore about me not hooking up with that one princess I have no feelings for, aren't you?"
"Look! I'm just saying that you need to let loose a bit." Axclius suggested strongly. "We all know that you need to get stronger, but this is the night. The moment is here and you gotta live every once in a while. You know what I mean?"
"Yeah, I know." said Prince Kellan as he stares out at the sea. "But I'll find someone eventually."
"Yeah? Define eventually." Axclius playfully demanded.
As the tough men talked about everything, Valorinna and Lou carefully hid on the ledge under them. Prince Kellan sat on the railings, continuing to gaze out at the sea. Valorinna continues to gaze at Prince Kellan, stricken with love. The rest of the prince's brethren joins his side. They all chimed in their conversation.
"Well, your majesty. I'm not one to take sides, but I'm afraid Axclius could be right." said Dorian, the British nobleman. "You must settle down with the right lady, one way or another."
"And besides, she could be cute!" joked Emmy, the sassy female bodyguard. "You'll never know!"
"Maybe even cuter than Emmy." teased Julio, the Latino bodyguard.
"Shut your mouth, Julio!" snapped Emmy as she pushes him away.
They all laughed, amused by how Emmy and Julio get along at times. Prince Kellan felt slightly better, knowing that his brethren is here for him, no matter whatever becomes of one of them. He cheered up a bit to engage in this uplifting conversation.
"Maybe you all are right." said Prince Kellan proudly. "Maybe I can find the right girl, and she is out there somewhere. The problem is, I just haven't found her yet."
"Well if you ask me, I'll say you're not looking hard enough, man." Julio added as he fiddles with his combat knife.
"You think so, huh?" said Prince Kellan, being sarcastic. "Well believe me when I tell you this. When I do find the girl of my dreams, you all will be the first to know. Until then, I'm just going to do me. Fight monsters, battle enemies, help other people and create my own fate. Not a doubt in my mind, it'll hit me! Like a bolt of lightning."
Somewhere out on the ocean from afar, Cyclonya was sitting on the rocks, awaiting her chance to wreck some havoc against the humans. She sees the opportunity when she spotted a ship sailing by. When the ship is in her range, Cyclonya began to sing. With her voice, the weather forms into a deadly upcoming storm at her command. The siren's song created the sound of thunder, lightning flashing in the dark clouds, the oceans rose into towering waves and the rest forms into a massive waterspout (a watery tornado). The storm endangered the people on the ship. The sailors went on high alert and they secured the ringings. Prince Kellan and his brotherhood went to help the voyagers. On the ship's ledge, both Valorinna and Lou were hanging on for their lives. But when the waves slaps the side of the ship, they both fell into the sea. Under the influence of Cyclonya's power, the storm toys with the humans aboard the ship. Rogue lightning destroys the highly technical masts and it fell onto the deck, nearly crushing the people if they hadn't steered clear of that. Prince Kellan and his brotherhood did what they could to escort the people to safety, but their duties have just been compromised as the vessel lost its power due the dangerous storm. From the sea, Valorinna and her friends tried the best they could to fight against the strong currents. But they almost succumbed to the fury of the weather. The little mermaid is determined to pull through if she wanted to see that Prince Kellan is alright.
"Something is wrong!" Valorinna shrieks in fear for her prince. "He is in danger! We can't leave him like this!
"No, Valorinna! You can't!" cried Olaris as she tries to pull her away from the disaster.
"I knew we shouldn't come up here!" whined Jasper in fear, hiding behind Lou's large dorsal fin. "If only we stay under the sea!"
"Valorinna! It's to dangerous! We have to get out of here, right now!" screamed Lou as he tries to protect her.
"No, I can't just let him die out here!" screamed Valorinna, retaliating. "I'm not leaving until I know he's alright!"
She dove into the water. Lou tries to stop her but the broken pieces of the masts blocked his way. He is just as worried about her as much as her tiny friends.
"Valorinna, no!" Lou shouted in a bit of fear. "VALORINNA!"
"Oh no!" screamed Olaris out of fear for the princess.
"Don't go!" screamed Jasper.
With a strong swish of her elegant tail, Valorinna pushes through the waves in order to get closer to the ship. During the ordeal, Cyclonya uses her last tune to ultimately destroy the ship by manipulating the currents and pulling it towards the huge rocks. Valorinna watches in horror as the ship smash into the rocks, splitting the vessel in two parts. Now what is left is the damages inflicted upon the man made ship and now the passengers have to immediately abort the broken vessel. They all succeeded in getting away from the disaster on the lifeboats, but there were no signs of the prince nor his brethren. Luckily, they happen to be on a life boat themselves. All except for Prince Kellan. He has his leg tangled in ropes while the reactors are about to explode. He is running out of time. Before they can save him, they were too little too late. The reactors exploded, tearing the back half of the ship apart. That blast have thrown the prince into the sea. The prince's brotherhood couldn't find him despite of their desperate searching. From the waters, Valorinna too is searching for him. With her luck, she has found him, lying over on top of the broken wreckage. But then, his body is sinking fast into the water. In a quick swift action, Valorinna dove underwater. She grabs hold of Prince Kellan's vest and she pulls him to the surface. Lou and the other two maneuver their way around the wreckage. To their shock, they saw Valorinna rescue the crown prince from drowning. Olaris and Jasper knew that something bad would happen but for Lou, he's just shocked by Valorinna's courage yet again.
"I have to admit, she is more rebellious than I am." Lou stated in pure shock.
Valorinna had surfaced with Prince Kellan in her arms. With her strength, she pulls him close to her as she looks for land. From the looks of all the damage she has caused, Cyclonya is pleased with her latest victory. Her work has been done. The evil siren disappears into the sea and alas, the storm has died down. The gentle calm waves carries the tired little mermaid Valorinna and Prince Kellan to a nearby island. They are placed onto the warm sand. Valorinna awoke to find herself on a island she never knew even existed. But then she turns to her prince, wondering if she had saved his life or if she's too late. Lou, Olaris and Jasper were searching for Valorinna. They found her on a beachfront with the unconscious prince by her side. Lou crawled out of the water and onto the beach beside his friend.
"Oh Lou! Did I save him or was I too late?" Valorinna asked in concern.
The mutant merman lied his head on the prince's chest, checking for a heartbeat.
"I don't know, Valorinna." said Lou. "I can't say for sure."
He put Prince Kellan's bare foot to his head in hope for a heartbeat there, but to no avail.
"I'm not getting a heartbeat everywhere." says Lou, showing concern as he puts the prince's foot down. "I'm sorry, Valorinna. But I'm afraid there's nothing you can do for him now. This guy is a goner."
Just as they were ready to give up hope, then suddenly, Valorinna noticed that Prince Kellan moved his lips a little.
"No, wait! He's breathing!" exclaimed Valorinna in relief. "Oh he's alive! Just look at him, Lou. He is so beautiful."
"He is beautiful?" questioned Lou. "I don't know about that, Valorinna. Humans are strange looking. What's beautiful about them?"
"You'll never know, Lou." uttered Valorinna as she strokes Prince Kellan's hair back. "But I think I found my reason to be a part of this world. He's my new reason. And someday, I will find a way to be with him."
Valorinna begins to sing her song to her prince. Lou raised his eyebrow for he do not know what made Valorinna fall in love with Prince Kellan. He is just as confused as Olaris and Jasper. But the two were rather worried if her father, King Neptunium would find out about what they all did, especially with Valorinna. As the sun shines through the clouds, Prince Kellan awoke from his unconsciousness, only to have a glimpse of Valorinna's mermaid beauty. But her voice makes his heart ached. The little mermaid finishes her song. Then all of a sudden, a strong man's voice is calling out to the prince from afar. Lou knew they can't be seen with the subconscious crown prince. He pulls the lovesick Valorinna away from the shoreline. It was his brotherhood who was searching for him. To their relief, they found Prince Kellan lying there on the beach. As the brethren got closer to him, Valorinna and her friends quickly disappears into the water. They helped the prince back on his feet. They became concerned for Prince Kellan as if he looked kinda dazed for some reason.
"Umm Kellan? Are you feeling okay?" asked Emmy.
"That... a girl, rescued me..." said Prince Kellan, feeling a tad ditzy. "She saved my life... and she was singing to me, like an angel... No doubt about it, she has the most beautiful voice..."
His tough shield, Axclius help him over his one shoulder. Julio took the other arm.
"I think you must've hit your head or something." said Julio as he helped Axclius carry the prince away.
"Come on, your majesty." says Axclius. "We are finding someplace to take refuge in, so you can rest."
Dorian and Emmy followed from behind as they all left the beach. From the nearby lagoon, Valorinna and her friends watches the prince and his brotherhood walk away from the sandy shoreline. After they disappeared off somewhere, it is time for Lou to take Valorinna and the others back home to the underwater kingdom of Siren-Millennia. Therefore undetected by the king's officials. From days on end, Valorinna couldn't get Prince Kellan out of her mind, for she has fell madly in love with him, since that faithful stormy night upon the sea. Valorinna spent most of her time in the meadows' reefs, daydreaming of the day were she could be a part of Prince Kellan's world. During her daydream, she continues to sing her heart out once again. Hoping for the day that'll come, the little mermaid Valorinna gazed up at the surface, knowing that from the bottom of her heart, she'll find a way to see her beloved Prince Kellan again.
