I woke up on the shore, coughing up sand and salt water. I turned over to my back. My eyes fluttered open. I looked down and what used to be feet. I screamed. It was a glowing, scaly, silver tail. I heard, "Oh my dear, its ok." I looked around startled. I sat up and there she was. She was also one, her tail was red. She had white hair. "Who are you? Who am I? What is happening?" I said rapidly. "Your name is Azelea and I am Nakomis, your master. I saved you and now you are in an eternal bond to my service." I said solemnly, "I didn't sign up for this." She said, "No one ever does, but you are my slave."

Slave. Servant. Never thought I would ever be called that.

I thought I was dreaming, but I am not. I will be her servant until who knows when. She imprinted my arm with a tracking device. She stabbed it into my arm. It was very painful. She lives underwater, under a cave, away from the world.I dont know anything before this, all I know is my parents are dead. I feel as if I have been locked in a cage with a stranger and my past is yelling at me but I am deaf to it. She gave me my own room with a kelp bed and vanity. I hate her. She did all this to me and I dont know why. The next day she called my name which is supposedly, Azalea. "Yes?" I said. "For your first job, You must go to the shore and learn about everyone who lives around here. I don't know why but this was my duty. "I will make you a potion that gives you legs for 12 hours. But once the sun goes down, It will go back to a tail and you will swim back to me. Understood?"

"Yes."I said.
