Mermaid Angel
Chapter 3
"Tell me who he is Yuugi," Yuugi sighed at who had spoke to him.
"Um…but Ryou I don't want to," Yuugi hesitated as the white haired mermaid questioned him.
It was a law that mermaids should never mix or fall in love with humans or any other creature other than their own. He had broken that rule by falling for him; he had no idea what his name was as he had never asked him. He dared not think what would happen if the other mermaids found out.
"It won't be able to help you if you don't tell me," his voice was cheeky and bore a smile on his face he was joking around. Yuugi in a way was thankful for that.
"Ryou I can't tell you who he is because I don't know his name myself," he told the other mermaid honestly.
Ryou giggled and swam the little distance between them "then you're glad that you have me 'Ryou the lil mermaid detective' as a friend," he held Yuugi's hands and grinned "the guy you love is Yami and he's the prince of this land and if it weren't for him this lake would have been destroyed, but you still can't be with him despite that," Yuugi's eyes widened and he hugged Ryou so hard almost to the point of actually squeezing him to death.
"How did you find out Ryou? How?" Yuugi asked him still hugging him.
"Ah, I have friends who know all about the outside world and I asked them all so I got all the information," he told him proudly.
"Thank you so much for telling me," he hugged him tighter almost to the point of making Ryou's face blue.
"Hey you'll kill me if you hug me any tighter," Ryou joked, Yuugi immediately noticing what he was doing let go and muttered sorry.
"It's alright but we better get going before we get killed for being late for the ceremony."
As they swam back through the clear waters to the depth Ryou watched the sullen expression upon Yuugi's face and knew exactly what it was about. For many years Yuugi had waited for someone, someone to take any sorrow from his heart. Ryou knew open heartedly that Yami must have been the person Yuugi was waiting for and they could never be together because of mermaid law. It could be told by his actions and the way he behaved around others.
The waters grew darker as they swam deeper into the lake. In the distance they both saw a light, which has, they swam closer became their underwater home, the light, which lit their home, was created thousands of years ago by the water sorceress Mia who had cast a spell to generate a light so the mermaids could live untroubled by the humans within the lake.
"You're late you know they don't like that," a mermaid told them frowning. She stood in front of them stopping them.
"Sorry Anzu we were swimming and went too far out," Ryou told her nervously.
She sighed muttering about how much trouble they would be in if they were caught. Telling them that the ceremony for Mia would be starting soon and if they weren't there they would be in an awful lot of trouble.
Each year they had a ceremony to thank Mia the water sorceress for casting the light upon their home. This year Yuugi would have the honour as being the main mermaid in the ceremony to honour the sorceress. He would have to say the prayer to thank the sorceress for the light. If he were late for the ceremony, which was extremely important to the mermaids, he would never be forgiven. Missing the ceremony was worse than being in love with a human in the eyes of the mermaids.
"We better go fast the ceremony starts really soon and you need to get ready, you do remember the lines right?" Anzu asked Yuugi as they sped off to the ceremony grounds in the center of their home.
Yuugi nodded while saying the lines out in his head. He felt a great honour for being the main mermaid in the ceremony. He, above all others had been chosen. He admired the water sorceress, Mia; she had protected them from the humans.
As they reached the ceremony grounds right in the center of their home Yuugi went to their leader to let her acknowledge his arrival so the ceremony could start. She was called Amemoyo.
She it was possible to say the best leader of the mermaids here for the past thousand years. She seemed to be able to see through people, see their hearts and desires. She had a heart of kindness, she was sympathetic to those who had done wrong. This did not mean though she slacked at keeping the laws, which were kept in place. She still called for executions for those who had done extreme wrongs. She did not unlike some of the previous rulers despise humans. She was able to tolerate them but for those who did break the rules of seeing them or falling in love with them she still sentenced them with harsh punishments, sometimes ending with an execution.
She was well loved by all especially Yuugi, which was why he felt so much honour when he was picked by her to be the main mermaid in the ceremony.
He bowed to her as she sat upon her throne overlooking the decorations prepared.
"You've come," she said watching him "you are as beautiful as the last time I saw you," Yuugi blushed as he heard the words.
"I'm not really," he muttered.
She held a shaft in her right hand that she bought before her and gave to Yuugi. He held out a hand and took it. It was a bright gold metal, with a spiral of silver wire coiled around it. Right at the top was a sapphire, which was held by eight coils of wire wrapped around it. This was the shaft that Mia the water sorceress had used to react light and had left it with them as a lasting memory.
She also gave him to his surprise a silver dagger incrusted with sapphires, it had a small metal chain coming from the end of it, which he put round his neck. Yuugi watched her puzzled after he had put it round his neck.
"I wish for you to have it. This was the dagger in which Mia said a destiny would come of it, maybe not one that would be great, but the way it should be. I believe it is to be part of your destiny," Amemoyo came to Yuugi and placed a hand on his shoulder "I am sure of it."
"The ceremony will start now you need to the platform to say the prayer to Mia," Yuugi nodded and swam out to the center of where the ceremony was being held to a platform.
The whole of the mermaid community was around him including Ryou and Anzu who had gotten places right at the front. Yuugi waited till all the mermaids arrived before starting the prayer for Mia:
"Oh how we have longed for light
We have been in darkness for so long
We feel rebirth from such evils
Which if it weren't for you there'd still be
Oh great water sorceress Mia
Cast your angelic lights
Let us know darkness no more
Let us know only light"
As he finished his prayer he held the shaft that Amemoyo, their leader gave him up above him. The mermaids were quiet, they were awed by the power of his voice and as Yuugi came level with them not one of them spoke till Amemoyo broke the silence.
"Let the ceremony start," she spoke with power and it grabbed each and every one of them and pulled them back to reality.
As the ceremony went on the mermaids came back to their normal selves and commended Yuugi for his prayer. Yuugi being modest said that others had done it better, but every one of them said otherwise even Amemoyo said it left her breathless.
At the end of the Ceremony as everyone left for their homes Ryou and Anzu came and commended him. Ryou's eyes caught the dagger incrusted with sapphires. He asked how he had gotten it, Yuugi told him how Amemoyo had given it to him saying it was part of his destiny.
They said their goodbyes and Ryou and Anzu left for their homes.
Yuugi lifted his head and watched the surface of the lake still holding Mia's shaft in his hand; the only thing on his mind was Yami and when he would return, if ever…
Waii third chapter done! I pronounce Mia as me-ah. Amemoyo as Ah-meh-moh-yoh.
'Ryou the lil mermaid detective' waii I think that's so cute and I came up with it by myself out of nowhere, which is why it's my MSN nickname for now.
