Chapter 5: The Water Demon:
Pearl's POV:
I was taking look at a little glass ball with snow in it. "Isn't it beautiful," I asked.
"Pearl, we're too close to Atlantis," says Slippery, "we already ran into enough trouble with the Kappas, the Sirens, and that ghost pirate. I don't want to deal with the wrath of the Water Demon!"
"Don't worry," I said, "I'm not going to get us in trouble with a villain the fourth time."
Bai Tza's POV:
"So, that Lemurian Mermaid is here... and not just any Lemurian Mermaid but a Princess," I said, "this is an opportunity that I can't miss. That human globe she found could be the key. All it takes is a little magic." I then casted a spell on the globe. "If it is ever shaken, it will cause Lemuria to freeze and then Atlantis will be the only empire worth knowing of."
Pearl's POV:
Slippery and I then returned to Lemuria. I had to hide my new... winter ball from my Father. Slippery and I swam to my room where I hid it under my bed.
"Wow, we actually avoided a villain," says Slippery.
"I told you," I said.
Bai Tza's POV:
It's only a matter of time until she shakes that human globe and then Lemuria will freeze!
Pearl's POV:
After dinner, I wanted to look at my winter ball. I took a look, but there was no snow. Then I realized something... I need to shake it... so I did, but then it was getting colder. I decided to ignore it and continued to shake it.
. . .
All of Lemuria is in an underwater blizzard.
"How did this happen," asks my Father.
All this snow... oh no! The snow came from my winter ball!
"Don't worry, I'm on the case," says Porcus, "I'll get to the bottom of this!"
. . .
"We have to tell your Dad," says Slippery.
"You know how he feels about human things," I said.
"But we have to get rid of that winter ball," says Slippery.
"Oh, we have to go to the source," I said, "we have to face Bai Tza!"
. . .
Slippery and I then swam to Atlantis. I can see why it's more popular, Atlantis is actually alot nicer looking then Lemuria. Too bad they have an evil demon ruling it.
"So, what do we do," asks Slippery.
"I... don't... know," I said. Slippery looks at me. "I can't think of everything."
Bai Tza's POV:
"Looks like we have some intruders," I said, "I better get rid of them."
Pearl's POV:
Slippery and I were swimming.
"Did you hear something," asks Slippery.
We turned around and saw Bai Tza's Octomen. They then grabbed us.
. . .
We were now faced with Bai Tza.
"You foolish little one," says Bai Tza who's starting to make something in her cauldron.
Bai Tza: With one wave of my hand
You know who's in command
I'm the quintessential queen of sorcery
I keep a potion in my purse
That's worse than any curse
No, you wouldn't want to mess with me
Take a barracuda's nose
And a dozen turtle toes
And the venom of a sea anemone
Eye of urchin, Crab of Louie
Stir the goop until it's gooey
That's my favorite rancid recipe
No, you wouldn't want to mess with me!
"Now, I'm going to use this brew to poison you," says Bai Tza.
"Wait," I said, "you... you are going to let us go!"
"And why would I do that," asks Bai Tza.
I then held out my winter ball and started shaking it. Bai Tza then has a scared look on her face and now there's a blizzard in Atlantis.
"It's your call," I said.
Bai Tza was hesitant until she sees a young humanoid boy who was also freezing. He was 10 Years Old. He has grey placoid scale skin. His ears, except they are longer and pointed at the top. His eyes are dark purple-brown. He has blue Tendrils with red-brown specks which he styles it into a tentacle like hairstyle. He also has light grey eyelids. He has legs instead of a fishtail. He was wearing a Light Blue and Dark Blue Hanfu.
"Mother!" He said while shivering which made Bai Tza then removes the spell and both Atlantis and Lemuria are saved. Bai Tza has a son, who knew.
"This is far from over," says Bai Tz as she picks up her son.
Slippery and I then swam away.
. . .
Slippery and I managed to make it out alive and now we're in my room.
"I can't believe we got out of that," says Slippery.
"Yep, and Daddy won't know that this whole thing happened because Bai Tza put a spell on the human winter ball I found," I said.
"What," asks my Father as he entered.
Tiburón is actually a lusca given atlantian merfolk form by Bai Tza. In the next chapter, Pearl has to get her father's trident back from the Codfather.
