Eternal Destiny
::Chapter Four::
Unmei swam up to her room and sat down, extremely tickted. Oh how she wanted to go home!
But she would be stuck here forever. In a very short time, she would go from being a mystic
to a mermaid! Unmei looked around and hoped that Pearl would come in soon. She missed the little
girl.
Unmei got up and anrily looked around. What was her life gonna be like as a mermaid? What
more could you do in the ocean but swim? God, she would do ANYTHING to go home!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After what seemed like an eternity to Unmei, a small knock came at the door. Unmei
sighed. This was it, never again would she see the land again, well, not with two feet anyways.
The door opened and Pearl came in looking sad.
"Unmei, I'm so sorry. I wish I could send you back home. How could they do this to
humans! They don't even ask us! Just one, two, and poof! You go from a nice clear pool to this
dark wet kingdom! Oh Unmei! What are you going to do!" the mermaid cried, swiming over and
hugging Unmei.
"Pearl, I don't know what I'm going to do. I guess my only choice is to marry the prince.
But you will always be my friend, wont you?" Unmei told the young mermaid.
"Yes! I will. We will always tell of the lands, and maybe we can stop this! Stop them
from capturing girls and turning them into half fish freaks!" she continued to cry, "I..I..I came
to tell you they are...they are ready to start the ceremony!" Pearl rushed out the last part and
quickly swam away.
Unmei did not know what the ceremony was, but knew it was probably to turn her into a
'half fish freak' as pearl had said. She slowly swam down to try and delay the inevitable as much
as possible.
At the main entrance she saw a guard-looking-merman waiting for her, and he led her to
a room with all the merpeople, including the king, queen, and their son. In the center was a
marking of a star in a cirle. One important looking merman swam over to Unmei and said,
"Unmei, you will stand in the middle of the star and stay perfectly still so the spell
will work properly. Unless you want to become some deformed mermaid." he said warningly. Unmei
trully did not care, but said anyways,
"Yes."
He led her to the center of the star and a hooded figure came out from the back of the
crowd, and warily he began to chant,
"Numelious kornin, astakin de miiklens, dom mizugul!"
Unmei felt herself go rigid, and a sharp searing pain went up through her legs. She
could just barely hear herself scream through the pain in her legs as they suddenly seemed to
rip apart and go together as her feet began to grow. Even when she could tell her body was not
going to change anymore, her legs still hurt. Finaly when her legs just felt a little numb,
she looked down and saw her once legs was now a long, green tail.
"Unmei of the Stars, you are now a mermaid!" cried the prince.
Unmei sat down, well, just let herself float there, her tail did not seem to want to
move. She hated the sight of that fish tail belonging to her. She wished she could take a long
knife and at least cut it in two to make her have legs again. Unmei began to weep softly. She
looked up in horror at the person who had cast that wretched spell. He seemed upset at what the
prince had said.
Finaly she could move her fin and curled up and just wept, not caring that everyone
their could see her, just hoping her life would end soon. She felt arms on her shoulder and
ignored them, but they stayed.
"Let her be, wizard. You have done this enough times now. What is so different about this
mystic?" Unmei heard the queen say.
"What is different, you ask? This is Unmei of the Stars, and after making me turn her
into this, you ask what is wrong? Do you not read, woman? Why did you not tell me sooner who
she was?" the voice who held her cried in disbeleif.
"I care not for mystics. Even if she is the last heir to the throne of mystics I would
not care." the queen said cruelly. Unmei looked up to see that the person who held her was the
wizard who had cast the spell, and had rid himself of the hood to reveal anceint eyes, the color
of the sky, with a long white beard, swaying in the water. He had to legs, as Unmei had just had
before the spell.
"Come, Unmei," he said, pulling her easly up in the water, "You must choose another, for
this girl must NOT be kept here. She is needed." he said in a deadly cool demanding voice. Unmei
stood, hoping this wizard could save her. She had only met one other wizard before. They where
few numbered too, but they where stronger than mystics.
"What is wrong with this wretch?" the queen nearly screamed.
"Unmei, go back to your room." he said. Unmei silently obeyed, slightly curious as to
what was going on. Perhaps she would go home!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Unmei entered, there was Pearl, who nearly broke down into hestarics seeing my tail.
"Unmei! Oh, goodness!" she cried.
"Who is the wizard who cast this spell on me?" Unmei quickly asked. Pearl snuffled and
looked confused.
"His name, I beleive is Helimar. He has been switching humans to mermaids for centuries.
He used to do it only because of the cruse, so he gave the queen and king a ring to call him to
do the spell. After a while, when they started to just take girls, he had no choice but to turn
them because of the ring he had given. I damn that ring!"
"But bless Helimar, I think he just might be able to save us." Unmei said. After that,
Pearl asked what had happened, and asked confusedly what Unmei thought about him telling the
king and queen they could not have Unmei, and go so far as to break such magic that was on the
ring. Half way through their conversation, they heard a loud blast, as if the lower castle had
blown up.
Unmei and Pearl swam right down to see what had happened, and indeed the castle doors
had been blown in. Before they could see more, a gaurd-looking-merman cam and grabbed their
wrists, and began pulling them back when Unmei looked over his shoulder and gasped.
"KIRO! SAYKIO!" she yelled as loud as she could. For their, swimming by the doors where
Kiro and Saykio, fighting some more gaurd-looking-mermen. They looked her way quickly but
continued to fight. The gaurd holding them began swimming faster, but as they began to get out
of site, Unmei saw a brightlight flash, followed be screams, killing any gaurds in the main room.
This frightened the gaurd, and he shifted them so they looked forward, and he swam as
fast as he could. Suddenly he stopped, and let Unmei and Pearl go, and we starred in amazement
that an arrow/spear was inbedded in his back.
Unmei and Pearl looked back and saw Kiro and Saykio their, staring angrily at them. Kiro
glared at Unmei's tale and all a sudden Kiro was next to her, and grabbed her arm and pulled her
with him as he swam down to the main room again, and Pearl closely followed.
He halted as he saw that the queen, king, prince, and all the others from before where
their, furious. At the front was Helimar, staring grimly at them.
"Good, I see you have come for Unmei. Now let us leave!" he said, and after that, lifted
his long staff, and they all dissapeared. Unmei, Kiro, Saykio, Helimar, and even Pearl.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Unmei and Pearl gasped as they appeared on land, not in suprise, fear, or releif, but a
gasp for air. Unmei tried to breath, but her lungs hurt.
"H..h..help!" she barely got out. Kiro looked at her and quikly muttered,
"Ve Maleki Suu!" but nothing happened. Helimar quickly raised his staff and repeated,
"Ve Maleki Suu!" again, the strong pain went through her legs, and felt like, indeed,
what she had wished for happened, and a knife had cut her fin in two. Unmei began to scream again
and fell on her face.
When the pain left and she knew she had her two legs again, she began to pant heavily,
grabbing for air greedily. Slowly she looked up at the three expressions, one of fear, anger,
and another undefinable. Saykio reached out and pulled Unmei up. Unmei began to fall once up,
her legs week from being in water so long, but Saykio caught her and sar her down. He sighed and
turned back into a small flying bear thing again. Suddenly Saykio began ranting,
"Oh my god Unmei! When I saw that merman start to pull you under, I panicked! I tried to
pull you back up, but he pushed me away. Unmei, I'm so sorry!"
"Its ok, Saykio. I am fine. Thank you, all of you." Unmei thanked.
"Yes, thank you, all, who ever you are! Now I can see the land of my birth, and not have
to serve in that awful place." Pearl said, with the widest smile ever.
"You are welcome, Pearl. You diserved to be freed. I wish I never had to cast that spell
on you." Helimar said. Kiro turned and looked at Unmei, glaring and did not say anything, but
turned again, looking into the lake they where by with daggers.
"Helimar, what did you mean when you said I could not be kept in the ocean as a mermaid?
I am no different from any other mystics and younge girls that where kidnapped before." Unmei
asked.
"That is something for you to learn in good time. If I where tell you now, many
disasterous things could happen to you, your freinds, and this planet. Now, let us return you
to The Hills to discuss something more important. I'm sure Oaken has long been worried of you,
Unmei. Let us show him we all are fine." Helimar replied, and with that, he set down his staff,
and they all disapeared.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I know it's short, but I wanted to have SOME sort of cliff hanger! So, why is Kiro so angry,
hmm? It's because that...Ha! Thought I would tell you? I know something you don't know! I know
something you don'y know! And you wont know till next chapter or so either! Till next time!
