She was the most unique Mermaid I've ever met, but I didn't believe her 'Donkey Tale.'
This is what happened to me. We were flying the Galleon and 'I' the Prince of Denmark had a royal birthday. I was turning 17 and had jet black hair that flowed with the sea and dark Navy eyes like steel as I stared to my men. They were all in Soldier uniforms. They carried lanterns and scented perfume as they walked about deck. It was getting late as the sky rose like a fountain, lighting up the stars and constellation.
She did good for us, this ship and I never expected anything to happen. To cause her to flip to her side, rocking against the waves and finally jammed. I never expected to be in a storm. "Thought this was safe mate," I heard my captain shout.
I looked up to find the stars gone and a dark cloud massively forming. Lightning allowed us to anchor the ropes, but it was too late, the storm struck!
I rushed over and took over the ship, trying to steer against this hard wind, but it was so dark and so dangerous. The ship suddenly threw men off and I screamed to get everyone to safety! We were going to sink!
I thought this prince was extremely handsome. More so than my statue and dozens of Merman back home that wanted to court me.
I rose quickly to the surface and did as my sister instructed. Go by a rock and sit to stare at the small town, hear the Church chime, and music. Lots of music with folks dancing.
They were singing too, but the songs weren't as beautiful as the Mermaids.
We thought we were the most beautiful of all...
But I guess the land folks thought they ruled everything.
And created everything.
Like a God...
I tried to match my voice to theirs' so that they can't hear me. I am to remain invisible.
They were to never see me.
