//Yami's thoughts//

(when I but in)

Chapter 5: Yami's journey 2

Yami was swimming to Lougai, it was a lot longer than what he expected it to be, he passed a lot of strange looking merpeople pulling the needles out of sea urchins and jabbing them into their arms.//merdrugs, cool// Yami swam on before they noticed him,(or even worse asked his name!!!) //I'm definitely lost//. There was a bright light coming over the distance, Yami swam faster towards the light, there it was…Lougai. It was beautiful there were pillars decorated with sea plants, cream walls with mer figures engraved on them with sparkling jewels decorating the eyes, the floor was a red orange colour made of marble, mer-people were swimming every where, there were big green gates with a trident on top and guards who were heavily armed.//shit guards how will I get in// Yami scratched his head in thought // I'll just swim on in like I own the place// Yami swam up to the gate and went to open it when the guard pulled him back.

"What do you think your doing!" asked the first guard the first guard, he looked strict and tough.

"I think I'm going to see the King" replied Yami

"Ok!" announced the second guard, who was a bit podgy and a bit stupid.

"Cletus what did I tell you not to do!" yelled the first guard

"Wait I know this one… it's ummm ehhh, OH don't let any one in with out your say so!" he nodded his head as though he was smart "oh right sorry…"

"now you, What makes you think you can just swim on in and demand an audience with the king!" he yelled towards Yami

"Because… because oh yea! The great sorceress Mana sent me!"

"HA-HA! Do you have any proof that she sent you"

"well.. eh no."

"Come back when you have some…"

"what is going on here!" bellowed someone from the distance

"Your majesty, I was just throwing out some unwanted folk for your own safety I assure you" said the first guard defensively

"let me talk to this mer-person my self!" announced the king

The king swam towards Yami; he was quite fat and had a long white beard (almost like Santa! XD) with a lime green and yellow tail

//Shit he probably won't like me, oh what do I do, what do I do! //

"Let the traveller in!"

"What!" yelled the first guard and Yami at the same time

"Yes your majesty!" said Cletus.

Yami swam in with the king and stuck his tongue out at the guards, The king eyed Yami thoughtfully, //oh crap I bet I look a mess!//

"Um excuse me your majesty, but err, if you don't mind me asking um…"

"Your wondering why I let you in?"

"How'd you know that?"

"You see, eh hmmm I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your name"

"Oh I didn't tell you"

"Oh, well go on then"

"Well it's…" Yami started to blush

"This wouldn't be your real name would it?"

"No you see, I wasn't normally like this apparently I was transformed into a mer-man and I was once a human and I don't know my real name because I was found by the great sorceress Mana…" The king looked at him bewildered.

"Wow, calm down son you must have hit your head pretty hard!"

"..What?"

"The sorceress Mana is just a spirit, no one has ever met her!"

"Well I did, I…" Yami was cut off by his stomach grumbling

"You must be hungry too! Come along, I shall introduce you to my daughters."

Yami and the king swam into his palace the doors were huge they were solid, gold heavily locked but beautiful all the same the king had swam straight up to he door to the crack and whispered some thing in a different language but none that I had heard of before. He kissed the door and it opened, a crack of blue light appeared and got larger as the door opened. A good 100 yards a head of him was a large grey marble staircase, he wondered why there were stairs when you could swim?

There was a large portrait at the top of the stairs of the king and his for daughters, the daughter must have been 20 a spunky blonde with a cheeky smile, her hair was to the top of her tail her eyes were a beautiful shade of purple, as was her tail her shells were black and just above were her tail starts was a small tattoo of an anchor.

The youngest looked about 9, also a blonde with her hair in pig tails, a cute little girl but with quite a snooty smile, her tail was baby blue and instead of shells there was a stretched piece of seaweed died blue to match.

The second youngest must have been 15 yet still as tall as the eldest, long chestnut brown hair down to the top of her tail, she had a baby pink tail and yellow shells but what confused Yami was the seaweed wrapped around her eyes he wondered what was wrong with her but was caught of by the other mer-maid, short chocolate brown hair sparkly blue eyes, a sweet innocent smile, a hot pink tail and fluorescent yellow shells most likely 17, Yami couldn't help but let his jaw drop straight to the ground!

The king looked and laughed, she's available. Yami closed his mouth and looked shocked and worried. How did the king know what he was thinking, his heart rate raised, breathing increased, he felt himself blush.

"How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"I will explain at dinner come along"

The king swam and he followed, in the dining room was a large table it must have been long enough to hold over 30 people yet there was only 6 chairs, one for the king at the top and 2 on each side at the middle for the kings daughters and one at the opposite side. There were 6 large lobsters on the table 6 salads 6 cheese and seaweed platters, 6 bowls of thick chunky soup and 12 different desserts, it all looked very appetising, the king looked at Yami a small drop of drool leaked from his mouth. The king told Yami to take a seat, as soon as Yami sat down a waiter swam to him tied a bib around his neck and pulled a bowel of chunky soup towards him. Yami looked for a spoon but there were about 7 different ones he just grabbed a random one and dug in the king bellowed a loud laugh.

"Marina, Taylor, Sophia, Renée!" yelled the king, the four girls from the painting swam in all looking amazing they swam towards their father kissed him on the cheek and swam to there seat, waiters also swam to them and fetched their soup, The king joined them and watched.

"Daddy, what's that boy's name?" Asked Renée

"I don't know yet, he hasn't told me" he looked towards Yami and leaned forward.

Yami swallowed hard, "um well my name is…" He took in a deep breath and sighed. "Gassoluan." He replied. The girls giggled The king tried hard not to laugh.

"Well we will have to sort that out" he coughed, "so these are my daughters: Marina, Taylor, Sophia and Renée" The girls rose from their seats and all kissed him on the cheek Yami blushed slightly when Taylor kissed him.

"Taylor, could you please show Gassoluan where the guest room is?" the king asked

"Of course fathe…"

"OH DADDY, HE'S STAYING?" Renée interrupted

The king glared at his daughter, and she slightly blushed, as did Yami realising she had a crush on him.

Taylor swam through the large doors and Yami followed by her side. They both looked around the silence was incredibly awkward. He looked at her and she raised her eyes towards him, he quickly looked away and blushed. Taylor broke the silence.

"So where are you from?" she asked

"I don't really know, to be honest" he replied

"Oh, are you an orphan?" she questioned concerned

"No, I cannot remember my past" he looked down

"I'm sorry."

"It's ok you didn't know."

"I can help you try remembering, if you like?"

"That would be very nice of you. Thank you."

"No problem" she smiled at him affectionately, and then blushed. She looked down the corridor and swam down it. Yami followed, she opened a silver door, the inside walls were green and white marble, large pillars with sea plants blooming beautiful flowers. A large green clam with satin sheets and large pillows making a bed was in the centre of the room, a large marble dresser was in the corner.

"What's the dresser for?" Yami Questioned

"Oh, I'm not sure really, just a decoration" she giggled

"Oh, that makes…. Total sense…." He said sarcastically

"Ha-Ha well have fun, good night, mi room is up the hall second door to the left if you need me, goodnight."

"Good night" he smiled

Taylor swam to the door hesitated for a while and left, she popped her head through the door.

"Sweet dreams!" and left again.

Yami collapsed onto the clam shaped bed and mumbled to himself "sweet dreams." He turned to his side and went to sleep.
