These next few chapters will be pretty much getting the feelings of the characters we have. Now, read and enjoy, but also, if you're thinking about entering a character, please refer to the words after the chapter, I have an announcement to make about names and other things.

Chapter 1- Flatlands

~Morgan Laide~

I walked along the beach as the sun rose. My purple hair blew in the light breeze. I breathed in the salty air. I loved mornings like this.

I ran into the inviting waves, diving beyond the shore. My long purple tail fanned out behind me, pushing me through the water quickly so I could explore the nearby reefs.

I ran my eyes over the coral and colorful fish. I was looking for something in particular. A jade shell that I had heard about in these reefs. I had been wanting one for some time and I vowed to come to these exact reefs to find one, then I planned to move on.

I spotted a green shell, just the thing I wanted. I reached out to get it and a flash of white stole my shell. I looked up just in time to see a guy with a blue tail throw me a mischievous smile and he turned, with the shell and swam off. I blew bubbles out and swam after him. I was now about eight feet behind him. I was going to get my shell back.

I followed him all the way back to the beach I came from. He swam up under a dock and slowly pulled himself out of the water and onto the dry rocks. He sat there until his tail dried and he turned back into a human.

He ran off of the rocks and onto the land, throwing my shell up into the air like a lucky penny while I watched from the water. I dove under and made my way over to the rocks. I mimicked the boy's movements, placing myself on the rocks and drying back into my legs and clothes.

I ran onto land, into a throng of people near the beach. It was still summer vacation and they were all enjoying their time out of school. Oh my gosh! Where did that stupid boy go?!

I just wanted to say sorry for such a delay in posting this first chapter, like I said I went back to school and had no time to write it. It will be slow in updates but they will be here whenever they can, your best bet is to favorite the story or me so you can get updates about when the new chapters will be here.

Now, I want to take the time to thank all of you for entering, I will still be accepting entries, you can make as many characters as you would like. Though there are a few names I would love you to stay away from:

Morgan

Taylor

Lily

Caroline

Jessica

Aria

King

Luna

Rain

Claire

Dante

Alice

Senri

and Adrian

Failure to heed my warning above will result in your characters name being changed. I will already have to do that because we have 2 Lilys so one will be changed, I'm sorry but people will be confused if they hear 2 of them at once.

Thanks to Mergana Pendragon for the entry of Morgan! :) much love to you guys for entering!
