Chapter 7: Magic in the Book
Calim POV
After we all left, I decided to take the book with me I had to investigate some more. I looked in the book's contents. One category said Humans turned merfolk. Another subcategory said Known Humans turned merfolk. I looked through that. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw Cleo McCartney (maiden Sertori). To make matters even worse it says from age 15 until present. There was a lot of stuff written about her it says she took some girl name Charlotte's powers away with some girls named Emma and Rikki. It also says she and Rikki and some girl name Bella used their powers to create the tower of light to destroy comet Eva from destroying Mako. She was really a hero. How could my mom hide this from me? Did she think I was for my own good? I have to find out. I think I should call her. "Hello, Cleo McCartney speaking" "Hey mom it's me Calim" "Hi Calim, how are you" "I'm good mom" "When does school start" "Next week, but that's not why I called you. I wanted to know if you could me meet at Mako Island for some bonding time." "Is there a particular reason that you chose Mako" "I just love the scenery and I thought we could go camping. Bring dad too." "OK, when do we come"
"I don't know. How about next full moon." Cleo went silent. She wondered the reason he chose next full moon. "Why next full moon" "I just like to see the beautiful rock when it's full." "Ok Bye Calim" "Bye mom" He was going to make her tell him her secret. That's not the only reason though. He planned to turn his dad, Elaine's dad, and Nyla's dad all into mermen" This would make their families all closer"
Elaine POV
I'm really anxious to see what happens at Mako, in 3 days. It's a blue moon and who knows what will happen. Calim just told me that we would make our fathers into mermen which I and Nyla love. I already talked to mom and dad about going to Mako and they said ok. I did a little research and found out that it wasn't a full moon when we transformed, it was three days before the full moon. Looks can be deceiving. The book says you have to be in the moon pool on the full moon to become a mermaid that way. I wonder why we transformed. Calim let me borrow the book after him and it said that the moon pools magic is unstable from some crystal explosion on Mako, and we were not supposed to have all those powers, without training. I also learned that when the moon pools magic returns to normal, we won't have all our powers and that we have to earn them. "OW" I screamed "My head, it hurts". Everything was fuzzy. It was black, then I was in the ocean and a woman appeared in front of me. She had seashells in her hair. She looked like she was only in her 30's, but she sounded like she was 50. "Hi, I'm Astira, the mermaid godmother." "Oh, Hi Astira" I replied "I would introduce myself, but I am sure you already know who I am" "Yes, I do" replied Astira, "And I am here to tell you that you will not have all your powers after you earn Pyrex, you have to earn them through your training." Finished Astira "Why won't I, does this have something to do with the moon pools magic being unstable" I said "Yes, it does and when you defeat Triton, the merman who wants to rule over Mako, you can take his trident and yours and restore the moon pool, but beware once you do this your Pyrex powers are gone for a very long time, if not forever. I have to go now but good luck to you and your friends on the journey.
Nyla POV
I just called my mom and she said "I'll be there."
I'm having ambiguous (mixed) feelings about this, but I think everyone will be happy after this transformation. I called Chase to meet me and here he is now.
"Hi Babe" he said ecstatic "I have something for you" He pulled out a 40 karat gold ring with a ruby in the middle and on the back it had these words engraved "You're so great, I wish you had the ability to see you from my eyes"
I was so happy I didn't know what to say. All I could do was hug him. "This must've cost you a fortune." He pulled out a receipt it said the ring was $25,000.
"My parents are like filthy stinking rich and your worth any price" said Chase
I was so shocked I didn't know what was going to happen.
"There is bad news though" said Chase "When I looked in the book it said that your mom, Calim's mom, and a woman named Emma took away her powers and she would like us to set up a meeting with them to apologize to your mothers and hopefully they can be friends and she would be able to get her powers back"
"I suppose that could happen, I couldn't imagine being stripped of my powers" He kissed me on my cheek and said "I knew you would understand" Then he left.
No one POV
The Next Day
The whole gang met up at the moon pool today. Everyone was excited that the full moon was in two days. Calim was creating huge tentacles of water and freezing them. Nyla, who had to mess with Calim every chance she got, shot lightning at the tentacles.
"Nyla, you could of got one of us hurt" said Adam
"Oh relax, I was careful" said Nyla
"You have to watch that" said Calim, shooting bursts of cold jelly at Nyla
"Ok, you earned that" said Nyla "Let's have another look at that book"
"Turn to the part about spells" said Elaine
"Spells" asked Chase "Why spell"
"I have always been interested in magic" said Elaine
Calim turned to the section about spells. He found the time travel spell.
The instructions read: All people who are travelling hold hands. Then repeat these words: A spell of that sends me into the future or past, will diminish my curiosities. We would like to go to (Say Date or say a time something happened).
"Would anyone like to do this?" Asked Calim
"Of course" said Adam
"How about we go to the time Charlotte lost her powers" said Nyla
"OK" they all said
