And Now For Another "Surprise" Chapter That Explains the Mating of the Merpeople (this chapter is brought to you by Melissa)
At the start of the Second Age, right after all the lands and rivers and lakes and the general terrain was formed, there came a species that Melarus had formed to prepare the waters for the coming of the Children of Melarus: the Merpeople. Melarus, known to the muggles as God, to the Merpeople as Mereloca, to the Giants as Roogax, to the magical folk (Wizards and Witches) as Merlin, and to the Fairies as Tinkerbell, was the Divine Creator of all that is in existence today. She is rumored to have created the first twelve of the Merpeople with her own hands. But She is also rumored to be a He, and that is not so.
The First of the Children of Melarus came in the Middle of the Second Age, and were the Giants and the Fairies. The Second of the Children of Melarus were the Witches and Wizards. The magical folk and the muggles came at the End of the Second Age and the Beginning of the Thrid Age. The muggles were created by one of Melarus' friends, and was put on this Earth simply as a favor. Melarus felt no love or compassion towards the muggles. That's why they didn't get a capital 'M" in their name.
Melarus put the Merpeople on Earth, which is known to the Merpeople as Terrelaud, and looked upon them with love. She had woven them so beautifully that they each radiated with their own light. She sent them to the depths of the Great Ocean, known to the Merpeople (and Melarus) as Atlanccio, but to everyone else it was simply the Atlantic Ocean. Deep in Atlanccio, they all dwelled in a gigantic castle made of stone and vegetation. The Immortal Twelve reside there today, ruling the seas.
Melarus, even though She was and still is the Divine Creator of all that is in existence today, made a mistake. She had forgot to teach the Merpeople when and how to mate. She could not change how she made them, so the Merpeople had to figure out a crude way to reproduce.
For many a great year, the Twelve Merpeople were stuck with their bodily heat, but did not know how to relieve it. The Twelve were six males and six females. The females were named Marienne, Kattina, Alecia, Aryssen, Bosey, and Clauphia. The males were named Dynenio, Tahlussus, Jenoanian, Orzfenniel, Jezebah, and Bylerix.
The Tweleve Merpeople frequently tried to fertilize the wombs of the six women, but were without success until just when fall was ending. Clauphia and Jenoanian had successfully gotten Clauphia pregnant. From then on, the Great Twelve and their descendants mated from the end of fall to the beginning of spring. It was taboo to mate outside of the Mating Season. This story is told whenever the Taboo is explained:
Melarus was outraged when She discovered Clauphia and Jenoanian's child, Refusius, decided to mate with his Mergirlfriend, the daughter of Kattina and Ozzfenniel, outside of Mating Season. Her name was Gerlyffia, and her hair was the purest color of gold the Merpeople had seen since they were above the waters of Atlanccio. Refusius had been entranced by her one midsummer's night, and they had sexual relations. During the act, Melarus used her powers to raise Refusius out of the water, which quite frightened Gerlyffia, to say the least. Melarus brought Refusius up to where she dwells, Franchik, as it is called by the Merpeople. To the Giants it is known as Arka, for the muggles it is Heaven, for the Fairies it's Neverland, for the magical folk it's Arkansas, and for Melarus Herself, she called it Sarcasmia.
Melarus disguised herself, for neither the Merpeople nor the Children of Melarus could see her in her true form, so disguised herself as a human, which Refusius had only seen once before. When he was a small Merchild, he disobeyed his parents' warnings, and he went very close to land. He there saw a beautiful woman lying on the sand, completely naked. He was entranced, but his father caught him and brought him back to the castle, where he was whipped. Refusius never dared go back to that beach, not until he was well aged, at least.
Refusius was thrown onto a sharp rock, and while he bled, the soft voice of Melarus floated through the air to his tender mortal ears.
'My child, has thee lost thy way? Does thee not know what Season it is?' Melarus said, approaching Refusius, who was frightened beyond belief.
'I do not know thee,' Refusius said, his back aching from the sharp rock. He could not move, as Melarus had bound him with her super magic skills. He could only see to his left, and above him, and Melarus approached from the right.
'Yes, in thy heart, thee does. Not until now has thee been acquainted with myself,' Melarus said, then used her powers to float him off the rock, and onto the sand of the beach they were on. He could not move, except for his head. Immediately, he turned and looked at Melarus, who had taken the form of a woman of great beauty. She had clothed herself with a light white dress, and wore no shoes. Which is strange, because she loves shoes. Refusius gasped at the sight of her, for even though she looked mortal, her beauty was obviously immortal.
'Why am I here?' he asked her as she stood before him.
'Has thee not guessed who I am?' Melarus asked, placing her hands on her hips. She knew he hadn't.
'No, I have not,' Refusius said, shaking his head slightly.
'I am the Great Melarus,' she said proudly. Refusius looked puzzled. Melarus smiled, then continued, 'Your people, the Merpeople, know me as Mereloca.'
Refusius gasped, 'Mereloca? Thee?'
Melarus nodded, 'Yes.'
'Why did thee bring me here?' he asked, more worried than before.
'Does thee not know what Season it is?' Melarus repeated herself, looking down upon the silly boy.
'Where is Gerlyffia?'
'Thou avoided my question! Does thee not know what Season it is?" Melarus repeated herself for the third time. She was getting angry. Suddenly, his face fell.
'Oh,' Refusius said, 'I did not have sexual relations with that Merwoman!'
'Liar' Melarus said, looking down upon the boy.
Melarus gave Refusius the punishment of not being able to feel any pleasure, but to have his lust get stronger day by day. He also could not produce any children. He only had one child, a boy, which was with Gerlyffia, as she became pregnant on that fateful night. The child's name was Arkellio, and he went on to become a great warrior.
After the encounter of Melarus and Refusius, Merpeople never mated during the wrong Season. And if they did, the next day they suddenly vanished. This happened to several Merpeople, and they were rumored to have been found on the beaches where Refusius had seen his first human, but shot in the groin with a muggle bullet.
You may notice that during the winter, the seas are more rough. That is because there is quite a lot of business going down in the depths.
Author's Note: Just wanted to explain... This is a parody of Harry Potter as well as The Silmarillionby J.R.R. Tolkien. His whole freaking book is written that way. Just wanted to let you know... Oh in Chapter Nine, there was a mention of how the mating of the Merpeople would be another chapter, and so here it is!
