Like I say in all my stories...I won't be able to update because of one thing...SCHOOL!
Chapter 11
"Z-Zatanna?" King Giovanni asked. As he and his Queen got up and walked toward their lost daughter.
"Y-Yes, I-I have returned..." Zatanna replied. "I- I seek your help." Zatanna stated holding back tears, although the king and queen have already let the tears flow.
"Should have known..." Giovanni mumbled.
"W-What?" Zatanna asked.
"Please, dear, forget about it. What is it you need?" Sindella asked.
"I-I wanted your help, but father does not want to oblique." Zatanna replied turning, then swimming away.
"I SAID I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN THAT YOU WOULD COME HERE JUST FOR HELP AND THEN GO RUN AWAY!" He shouted at her. "I AM ASHAMED TO HAVE SUCH A DAUGHTER!" He added.
"GIOVANNI!" Sindella yelled. "Stop this right now! You are the one who drived her away. With your criticism and forcing her to marry that...that...ugly demon king just so the two kinds could be alike!" Sindella added, she left her husbands side and swam in the direction that Zatanna went.
Zatanna sat on a underwater treasure chest with her face buried in her hand crying. (the one that she used to love to hang around when she as young) How could her father not want to help her? She wouldn't be able to save Dick alone, she didn't have that much power. She only came down here so she could seek her mother and father for the royal amulet. It had the power to help any mermaid who had a pure intention as myth had it.
"Zatanna.." Her mother said as she ran up and hugged her. "I-I'm sorry for your father. Every since you left, he's changed." Sindella explained. "Now, what did you need my little princess?" She asked kindly as she sat next to Zatanna.
Zatanna told her mother about Dick and how she had fallen in love with him. Her mother said it was love at first sight. Then Zatanna told her mother about Klarion and how he wanted to take away her powers but Dick had transfered her powers to him with the help of Serenity so he would be the one having to go through with the Ceremony and not her. Lastly, Zatanna told her how Serenity had instructed her to find the Royal Amulet and that only the King and Queen of Subacqueo would know.
"The Royal Amulet?" Sindella asked nervously. Zatanna nodded. "Zatanna, we have that in our safe but..."
"But? Please mother I must save Dick, he saved my life and that's a debt I must repay." Zatanna informed.
"Zatanna, the Royal Amulet is very powerful. Only the strongest of mermaids are able to use it and there is only one that I know of." Sindella explained.
"Who?" Zatanna asked.
"Me." Sindella replied.
"You?" Zatanna questioned shocked.
"Yes, Zatanna you must understand that useing it comes at a great price." Sindella warned.
"I'm willing to pay that price." Zatanna urged. "Just tell me what to do."
