Chapter 21: A New Melody
After being saved by Kaito, Nagisa, and Masahiro three weeks ago, Lucia thought that she would have a peaceful sleep. She was wrong. Occasionally, her dreams would be plagued with warnings and glimpses of the future. It didn't really help when the same spirits would come and see her. In this dream of hers, that voice that haven't appeared for a while came back.
The same girls would appeared. Knowing that these girls were Umikos, Lucia decided to refer them as Umiko Princesses since they were often dressed finely. This time, unlike all her previous dreams, the Orange Spirit appeared and it was Lucia's first time seeing her. She recalled the girl's alias, Serena.
The girl has waist long wavy strawberry blond hair that has a hint of coral and straight fringe across her forehead. Of course, her eyes cannot be seen with her mask covering her face. Her dress was a coral color and she looked around twelve years of age.
Anyway, they looked like they were trying to speak... Or sing. Each girls were silhouetted with their respective colors so it would be easy to differentiate them. They were like actresses on the stage. And the castle was the stage.
Each of the girls were inhibiting a different room. This time, unlike previous encounters, they weren't wearing masks.
The Indigo Spirit was sleeping in the left tower, her room was covered in thorny briars. The Purple Spirit, Leia, was resting her head on her bed in the right tower, her long hair was out the window. The Green Spirit, Clover, was in the garden, sitting on the swing by herself. The Aqua Spirit, Mizu, was in a room, looking at the mirror. The Yellow Spirit, Elise, was in the ballroom, dancing without her own dance partner. The Orange Spirit, Serena, was in the study room. For some reason, that room was dimmed so it was hard to see the girl in the darkness. Lastly, the Pink Spirit was in the throne room.
There was one more figure. The Voice. She stood behind the seven Umiko Princesses and her face was still masked, covered in shadow.
In her dreams, Lucia felt like she was seeing a concert since the lights were flashing many colors of the singers. Eventually, the lights would focus on one of the girls as they sing their lines and moved on to the next. As the song starts, the melody was different. Despite it was dark, it was filled with pain and suffering. But it didn't seem to talk about general negativity... More like describing the girls' problems. Each Umiko were vocalizing as their voices overlap. However, the melody was still clear. This song was called Story of the Seven Curses.
"Now, let start." the Voice ordered.
Lights were flashing on the girls as they continued to vocalize the start of the music. Suddenly, six of them disappeared in the darkness as the light shined on one of them.
I no longer believed in the yotsoba [clover], loneliness will only cause my demise
There is no such things as faith, hope, or love, which means there's no good luck after all
My life was a complete lie. Why did they made the ultimate sacrifice?
Even if it was to protect me so, I rather be with you and that's for sure
My curse from the ancient legends, no matter how hard I tried
My legs pains like stepping on glass, a curse I have to endure
The worse curse of all that even of us have to bear. We were ripped apart from our love ones
And that resulted in our unhappily ever after. This is where our story of the seven curses starts
The curse that I have to bear, forced to sleep for an eternality...
As the maiden [I] dreamed so peacefully, she [I] wonders where her [my] soul will go...
From the start of my birth, we were destined to separate as planned
I've been told that I was abandoned by my parents. Why would you do this to me and leave me to my fate?
If I'm part of the twin stars in the night sky.
Then you must know that we will eventually dim and die out.
Hear the voices of the suffering, as we cried out to you only. Set us free from our misery
To shatter the curse, then destroyed our mirrored selves
Once my purity fades as my coral hair turns black, what's left behind is a lonely witch
Who rules the seven seas
The worse curse of all that seven of us have to bear. We were ripped apart from out love ones
And that resulted in our unhappily ever after. This is where our story of the seven curses starts
As the song finished, Lucia went over with what she had learned. In the first stanza, a four leaf clover was fracturing into four pieces. The second had a mirror cracked until what remained were shard splinters. The third showed a girl having difficulty walking. The fourth stanza was were all seven sung in harmony. In the fifth stanza, a rose was slowly wilting over time. A heart was broken into two in the sixth and two stars were dimming in the seventh. The eight stanza was when the girls sung in unison again. The ninth stanza was sung by The Voice while the seven silhouette of the Umiko Princesses were brightening up.
From this song, Lucia was having a headache. It was strange. How can the song even affect her in her dreams? What were the Umiko Princesses trying to tell her?
Suddenly, The Voice appeared to her.
And when she did, Lucia interrogated, "Are you one of the Umiko Princesses?"
"Why would you asked that question?"
"In my vision, back when I was captured... I heard you're voice. There was a slight difference, but that voice was yours."
"I didn't expect you to see that future. It's too early for you to know." the Voice remarked. "I will give you a hint, Lucia. I have both light and dark in me. So, who represent light and who represent darkness?"
Whether she was unable to stand the effects of the song any longer or The Voice didn't want to give too much information, Lucia was forced to wake up.
Walking up from her dreams, she jerk up from bad, breathing heavily than ever. Despite the intensity, she was slowly understanding more and more of the girls. They seek her help. That's why they appear in her dreams. But from what exactly? Each of them bear a curse, but each were looking for a different ending.
The thought of them feeling like they've abandoned everything and the fact that she doesn't know was upsetting. Getting up from bed, Lucia head downstairs to take a morning bath in the bath house since no one else was up. Turning back into her mermaid self, she let her hair down loose, pouring shampoo on her stands. As she washed herself, she tried to think more about her dreams. Three times those girls have appeared to her, hinting their problems. How can she help? And... What was their connection to The Voice?
'She has both light and dark in her...' Lucia recalled in her thoughts. 'If a Mermaid Princess represent light, then who represent dark?'
She was also curious about Serena. Why did the Orange Spirit decided to show herself? It was just after The Voice appeared to her three weeks ago that the Orange Spirit appeared in her dreams now. And as to who represent darkness... The only enemy she had faced before that had darkness in them was... Gaito, a member and the King of the Panthalassa Clan.
That was the only explanation. It also would make perfect sense in her dream three weeks ago! The Voice is a descendant of the Panthalassa Clan. She has to! Otherwise, how would she be able to wield the Silver Sword of Taking? However... Who exactly are her parents? The only Panthalassans who have a relationship with the Mermaid Princesses was herself and Kaito... And Sara and Gaito.
If she were to think a step further, could it be possible that The Voice and the Orange Spirit are the same person? And the Umiko is the descendant of Sara and Gaito? Maybe she was thinking too much about...
After she finished taking her morning bath, Lucia dried herself before dressing up. Exiting the bath house, the girl immediately went into the kitchen after. Grabbing for the ingredients she needs from the refrigerator, she started cooking. Taking some rice from the rice cooker, she place some inside the bento box along with Kaito's favorite: fried chicken. Adding some veggies and fruits for balance, Lucia added a few finishing touches before closing the box with the lid. Once she was done, she wrapped Kaito's bento in a blue furoshiki, also known as a wrapping cloth.
"All done!" she exclaimed proudly.
Next, she started to make a bento for herself, which didn't take long. Once everything else was finished, she take the bento boxes and waited in the living room. At that time, the others have awaken and came downstairs. They weren't surprised to see her up and early.
"I see that you've prepared everything." Hanon teased. "So... Where are you and Kaito-kun going?"
Lucia playfully stick her tongue out, "Not telling!"
"No fair, no fair!" Hanon pouted, wanting to know more. Sighing, she muttered, "Why can't Nagisa and I go on a date?"
"Well, don't be dishearten. That day will come soon." Rina comforted.
"Hai..." Hanon sadly trailed off as the other girls laughed.
"Don't worry yourself, Hanon. I'm sure that Nagisa-kun will take you out on another date one day. So cheer up, okay?" Lucia paused, having caught what she just said.
'Cheer up?' she thought. 'That's what I had wanted to tell those girls... But before I could get the chance to say that, they would disappear every time and I'm forced out of the dream...'
Lucia became quiet all of a sudden, puzzling the other Mermaid Princesses.
"Lucia?" Coco called out.
"Eh?"
"Ne, are you alright?" Karen asked.
"O-Oh! Yes. I'm sorry." Lucia smiled. "I was a little distracted."
However, Seira have notice a hint of worry behind the girl's eyes, despite her upbeat cheery behavior. Soon, the doorbell rang as Lucia went to open it.
"I'll get it!" she ran. Opening the door, she saw her boyfriend standing in front of her. "Ah, Kaito!"
"Yo, Lucia. Are you ready to go out on our date?"
"Mm!" she nodded. Turning towards her friends, she waved, "See you later, everyone!"
As she left with Kaito, the girls gave each other a look. Making sure that the couple were gone, Seira began to express her concern over the Pink Mermaid Princess.
"I'm worried for Lucia." she spoke.
"Why? What's wrong, Seira?" Noel inquired.
"I sense that something was bothering Lucia, but she doesn't want to tell us." Seira answered sadly.
Seeing the chance to spy, Hanon suggested that they all go check up on Lucia. Despite Rina disapproved, everyone else agreed. Defeated, Rina had no other choice, but to tag along as the girls stalked Lucia and Kaito from a far distance.
Before they can officially start their date, the couple went to the cemetery, near a church. It has been 10 years since they first met, but it was also 10 years since Kaito's parents pass away. They wished to pay their respects to the deceased couple. As Kaito laid a bouquet of white carnations, Lucia stared at the gravestone. Engraved are the names Domoto Daisuke and Domoto Asumi.
'Even if Kaito's parents weren't his parents from birth... They still raised and loved him as their own...' Lucia recalled. 'I wonder if they would approve me as Kaito's girlfriend if they were alive...'
Closing her eyes and clasping her hands, she offered her prayers, praying that they are at peace.
After that, they went to enjoy the date Kaito had planned. Finding a grassy area on a field, the two sit down as a breeze brushed against their cheeks. It was chilly today, but they didn't mind. As Lucia gave Kaito a bento, he beamed after opening the lid.
"Whoa! You really outdid yourself, Lucia. Looks tasty." Kaito drooled a bit.
"It's not going to go anywhere, so enjoy it." Lucia smiled, handing him a pair of chopsticks.
Taking the eating utensils from her hands, the young man chow down. As Lucia joined in eating, she felt like she was being watched. Turning around, she saw no one. After a while, she slowly turned her head to eat her bento. The girls were peering, careful not to get caught by her.
"That was close." Hanon sighed.
"She doesn't seem gloomy..." Rina noted.
"Are you sure that something was wrong, Seira?" Coco asked. "Maybe you were mistaken."
"I don't know, but I knew there was something bothering her." Seira replied, spying at the couple.
Eventually, the couple moved on to their next spot to continue on with their date. Little did they knew, six of her friends were stalking close by. Everything seemed perfectly fine, however, there was one moment when Lucia thought back to her dreams again. Kaito would give her an odd look, worried and a bit curious about her sudden silence.
"Lucia, are you okay?" he questioned.
"I'm fine." she denies, laughing very awkwardly. After finishing her laugh, she whispered, "It's nothing, really. So don't worry about me, ne, Kaito?"
Despite she was giving him a smile, Kaito knew that something wasn't right. Ever since she was rescued, she has been forcing herself to smile. But deep down, something was really bothering her.
Sighing, Kaito put his hands in his pockets. Whatever her reason was, she'll tell him eventually.
"So, where do you want to go or do? I'll take you to wherever you request."
"Where I want to go or do cannot be done." Lucia teased, bringing a more genuine smile on her face.
"Oh yeah? Try me." Kaito crossed his arms.
"Hm..." she paused before an idea came into her mind. "I want to... Get married to you."
"Okay." Kaito shrugged.
"Eh? Really?" Lucia was shocked. "Kaito, I was just-"
"Come on now. If you don't hurry, we're going to be late." he took her hand.
"Ah! W-Wait a minute, Kaito!"
However, they were already running with the Panthalassan taking her to who knows what. There was a reason why Kaito picked this day for the date. Because whatever Lucia wants, he'll make all of her wishes come true today. Watching close by, everyone with the exception of Rina were fangirling a bit.
Peeking over the corner, Hanon giggled, "For Lucia to say those words... She's so bold!"
"But I don't think they are actually getting married." Rina broke the mood.
She was frowning, having only one thought in her mind. Aside from Noel, she cared deeply for Lucia. So of course she was going to have a thought occurring in her protective little mind.
'If you make Lucia cry, Kaito, I will forbid you from seeing her. Over my dead body!'
As Kaito took her by the hand, Lucia was blushing. It was a nostalgic feeling to be holding hands with him. Although, she wonders if he was serious with getting married to her. It's her dream to marry Kaito, but wasn't it too early? When they stopped, Lucia looked to be relieved. It turns out to be another mocking wedding.
A memory came into her mind when Meru once playfully requested for Kaito to marry her and he agreed for fun. The two would pretend to be a couple and attend a mocking wedding. It was silly of her to misunderstood the situation back then. However, she doesn't mind doing this again.
Entering the bridal fair, they requested to wed this afternoon. Taking a quick glance at Lucia, Kaito smiled. It seemed that it did the trick. She was not troubled by her thoughts. After picking out some dresses to wear, Lucia went into the fitting room. However, as she was changing, another vision from the future flashed in her mind. Even though it was brief, she saw a glimpse of herself marrying Kaito for real in the future.
It was a day before her 18th birthday. Lucia was back at her kingdom in the North Pacific Ocean, wearing a beautiful light pink mermaid dress. They said their vows and shared a kiss. Quickly, a few sequences sped up and she can see a newborn with crystal blue eyes...
Breaking out of her trace, Lucia's eyes widen. She was sure she knew who that child was... Even her name. But what was it? It was just at the tip of her tongue! Despite she doesn't know the child's name, one thing was for certain. That girl was the Pink Spirit.
A knock caught her by surprised as she heard her boyfriend's voice.
"Are you nearly finish, Lucia?" he asked.
"Almost!" she called out.
Putting the vision aside, Lucia finished putting on a light pink wedding dress. Stepping outside, she saw Kaito wearing a white suit with a pink rose on his breast pocket. Upon seeing his girlfriend, the young man blushed.
"Lucia, you look beautiful." he gasped.
She giggled, "And you look handsome."
Although everything else was fake, it felt real to Lucia. Once everything was over, the two left with smiles on their faces, having enjoyed their day. Waiting outside were the girls, still spying on their date. Hanon expressed disappointed that she didn't get to see what happened inside while Rina chastised her, telling the Aqua Princess not to intrude too much in their love life.
"So, did you have fun?"
"Yes, thank you, Kaito. It was very fun."
"No problem. Anything so I can see you smile again." Kaito smiled.
As they walked away from the fair, a girl with brown hair and hazel eyes passed by Lucia. She was wearing a white coat and was close to Lucia's age. For a brief moment, a name flashed in Lucia's mind. Himura Kimiko. There was something off about that girl... Not in a bad way, but she seemed special somehow.
Looking back to focus on her thoughts, she decided that she should tell Kaito about her dreams. She wasn't suppose to mention certain things, but she feels that she can trust Kaito with what she was going to tell him. Going to a shop to sit down outside with umbrellas up, they both started talking about what else to do on their date.
Some time later, the girls followed Lucia to see the girl all happy and radiating joy. Therefore, they denounced Seira's concern from earlier. The child was still doubtful, despite seeing the happy girl a few feet in front of her. Eventually, they decided to stop their spying, wanting to leave the two be. But just before they could get to Pearl Piari, they got intercepted in a remote area. It was Perseus. The sight of him put the girls on guard, transforming to defend themselves.

Transformed, the girls were ready to sing Mother Symphony.

"Love Shadow Pitch! Encore wa ika ga?"
The spirit simply chuckled, "When will you learn that your songs are no longer effective?"
"At least we're trying!" Hanon argued.
"Fair point, even if it's useless." Perseus remarked. "I guess it's time for your little concert to end!"
Summoning a new Soulless that looked like a siren, it was singing a song full of negativity. It was almost like a chorus, but it was only being sung by one person. After hearing the intense rage and hatred, the girls were crying in agony, collapsing to their knees. Once the Soulless finished its job, it step aside, leaving the girls at Perseus' mercy.
While Lucia and Kaito were on their date, Lucia was about to tell Kaito about her dreams when her necklace started to glow.
Looking at her lover with worried eyes, she said his name, "Kaito."
"Ah, I know." he nodded.
Postponing their date, the lovers rushed to help their friends. They didn't get far because they soon saw them.
"Everyone!" Lucia called out.
"Lucia!" they responded in unison as the girl rushed to her friends' side.
"We're sorry for ruining your date." Hanon apologized.
"It fine, it can't be helped." Lucia insisted.
~Pink Pearl Voice!~
With all the Mermaid Princesses gathered, Perseus made sure that they cannot sing. Taking out a moonstone, he threw it at the girls as it exploded smoke. Their pearls stop responding as the girls were forced to revert back into mermaids as they fall to the ground.
"Ha, literal fishes out of water." Perseus mocked.
Kaito rushed and jumped in front of the powerless mermaids, stretching out his arms defensively. He was about to summon his Panthalassa powers, but Perseus simply swat him away like a pest, knocking him out after he hit his head against a tree. Perseus continued to let the Soulless sing as the defenseless mermaids cried in agony. Towards the end, they were close to passing out as the Soulless disappeared, having finished its job.
However, Lucia, for some reason, found the strength to overcome the moonstone's effect. She can't be defeated right here. She recalled the Umiko Princesses and how they cried out their pain. They wanted to be saved. Even if she doesn't know when, she promised that she'll help them. Suddenly, her Pink Pearl shined as bright as it ever was. The other pearls glowed in respond, albeit, slightly dimmer. Kaito was brought back to consciousness from the light's radiance, watching as everything unfold.
Returning to her idol form, she slowly stood up on her feet.
"What! How is this possible?!" Perseus screamed.
'There's no way she could be standing right now. How was she able to lift the pearl block?!'
In anger, he tried to attack her, aiming a large fire ball at her.
"LUCIA!" everyone cried out in fear as the attack was heading her way.
But before the attack could reached her, she was bathed in a pink light before slightly floating off the ground. The intensity forced Perseus to cover his eyes from the blinding light.
'Ah... Such a nostalgic feeling...'
This sensation was strange, but wasn't foreign. It felt sweet and warm. In front of her, she could see the Umiko Princesses. However, they only have enough strength to allow Lucia to see them. This time, they weren't wearing their mask. Each of them were smiling endearingly with a gleam in their eyes. Lucia smiled back, aware that it was only her who could see them. The seven spirits circled around her and each gave her a piece of their strength in the form of happier memories. Through these memories, Lucia felt like she personally knew the girls. As the Umiko Princesses faded away, she closed her eyes.
The pink shells that kept her hair in twin tails disappeared, letting her flowing hair fall down gracefully. Her frilly pink gloves and boots disappeared, leaving her hands and feet bare. From where her shell pendent was, it was replaced with a silver necklace with a pink tourmaline teardrop jewel. Her jeweled headpiece disappeared. On top of her head formed what looked like a light blue tiara with matching gemstone. Her shell earrings changed, becoming pink gems. Her idol dress changed form, becoming longer and more elegant, reaching to her feet. A faint pink see-through shawl materialized around her.
Finally, a caduceus appeared in front of her. It looked very much like Aqua Regina's staff, only with a few slight differences. There was a pink orb on top of the silver staff. Wrapped around it were faint green vines and small leaves. There were white angle-like wings where the pink orb was. Almost by instinct, she reached out to hold it. The moment she did, her transformation was complete and the pink light turned white.
Her transformation also removed the pearl block from all the mermaids as they returned to their idol form without transforming.
"That's..." Karen slowly got up, confused by the sudden transition.
"Aqua Regina-sama?" Noel wondered.
"No, its..." Kaito gasped, joining the girls.
"Lucia!" the girls cried in unison as the soon to be Sea Goddess slowly opened her eyes.
She looked different and that was an understatement. She was more mature and full of grace. When she spoke, her voice came out as soft and soothing... Like the sea. However, it didn't sound like it came from the enthusiastic, cheery girl. It was not the voice of the girl who was like a sisterly figure to the mermaids, but like a regal Queen. A motherly vibe was coming out from her.
"Soon, the time will come. To protect the peace between the land and sea. I shall bestowed to you, Mermaid Princesses, a new song and power..."
As she spoke, six small orbs of light came out of the pink gem from her staff. The orbs went into the girls' microphone. Once that was done, however, being in a high form has drained Lucia of her energy. She was falling forward, her Sea Goddess appearance fading back to her human form.
Before she could reach the ground, Kaito quickly ran up to her and caught her, stabilizing the girl as she stand wobbly.
"Lucia!" the girls exclaimed as they joined her.
Kaito hold firmly on the girl's shoulders to support her and to possibly stop her from collapsing completely. Gently, he set her down as her knees failed to support her.
"Lucia!" Rina called out.
"Lucia!" Seira cried.
"Lucia!" Hanon gentle shook her. "Hand in there."
"Everyone..." her voice was back to normal. She slowly opened her eyes, but could barely keep her eyelids from closing, "I'm sorry, but I'm a little tired."
She closed her eyes again, which worried her friends.
"It's alright, she just fainted." Kaito assured.
"We have to defeat Perseus with the new song Lucia gave us!" Coco replied.
"Yeah!" the others agreed.
"Let's hurry before he completely recovers." Karen noted.
Just when Perseus lowered his arms, the girls began their new song, Beyond the Horizon.
"Pichi Pichi Voice Live Start!"
The sweet melody that I've once heard
It tells me not to give up on our hopes and dreams,
It's the same as that miraculous day…
I saw that unwavering smile,
As the rays of dawn brushed my cheeks with warmth
"I've been wanting to meet you. You're near, yet also far. I wonder if we could ever cross each others worlds..."
"Why?", I wondered
Does my kokoro tremble so much... That it hurts?
The moon that stands by itself illuminates
The reflective water's surface
"We're all here for you" was our message
The hand that I reach out for was yours
The playful breeze greets me in a new dawn
Along with the voices of those who cared and loved us... For a long time
We reached out to you
Sadly, we found ourselves lost again
The family we longed for… Isn't here!
The sea gently lulls us to sleep at dusk
Even if it meant a day passed without seeing you, I know that we'll meet again
Have faith in us...
Ne, my voice ringed, echoing to you... Can you hear me?
My voice as I call out to reach your loving heart... Come find us
As the sunlight glowed at that beautiful dream
I found you
Our desire to see each other will come true, ah~
The memory flows beyond the horizon
"Love Shower Pitch! Encore wa ika ga?"
When they finished singing, Perseus retreated with a scowl on his face, "I won't forget this!"
After some time later, Lucia woke up, surrounded by her friends. Everyone sighed out of relief to see her just fine. Sitting up, the girl smiled at all of them, especially Kaito. Immediately, however, the boy gave her a hug.
"Thank goodness. You had my worried." Kaito whispered in her ear.
"Sorry that I worried you, Kaito." Lucia returned the hug.
The girls smiled and left the two alone. They deserve some memorable moments without them interfering. After her friends left, the two resumed with their date. Getting away from the city, the couple ended the day with them sitting at the beach. Waiting until the sky darkens, the stars slowly started to shine.
When a shooting star pass by, Lucia made a wish, 'Please, let me continue being happy with Kaito... And...'
She was about to make a wish from the Umiko Princesses when a sweet voice chimed in her mind.
"I'm sorry..."
Turning around, glancing over her shoulders, she couldn't find anyone. Kaito noticed her concerned expression and questioned her.
"What's wrong?"
"Its nothing." Lucia answered.
"You are so weird." he teased.
"Geez, Kaito..." she pouted.
But her playful expression eventually fade when she smiled and gave him a kiss. A few feet away, a faint pink light was glowing. However, unlike the others, the Pink Spirit was flickering. She was having trouble maintaining her form.
She sighed softly, "Just how long can I keep this up?"
The girl was too tired to warn them anymore. She just hope they will be aware of the Great Evil's awakening soon after Tanabata. And with the last of her strength dwindling, she faded away.
The first song, Story of the Seven Curses, is based off of Seven Crimes and Punishment from The Evillious Chronicles. The second song, Beyond the Horizon, is based off of Ebb and Flow by Ray.
...
Pink Spirit (Updated): I was instructed by Pearl not to say much. *Sighs* I hope Lucia and the other Mermaid Princesses can get my warning.
Asumi: I was Kaito's adoptive mother. My first name is a reference to someone.
Daisuke: I was Kaito's adoptive father. My first name is a reference to someone.
Kimiko: I was instructed by Pearl not to reveal my character. However, I can say that I am going to be a reoccurring minor character.
...
Anyway, remember to leave a review and tell me what you think of this chapter. Very simple, I know, but we already have enough of Lucia and Kaito. We know that they will be together forever... Or will they? See you tomorrow for a magical Christmas chapter. It can happen anytime, so make sure you are ready for tomorrow. See ya.
