Mermaids of the Ocean!
Swimming in the water using my newly-acquired magic of water, gaining a tail, was a new experience for me, especially for Miku inside a bubble made of water magic performed by a new friend named Doris who's a human who gained a tail just like me.
I've always wondered about the wonders of the world inside the water since I've seen my raptor friends hunt for fishes to eat. I thought to myself what it was like inside these waters and what other creatures live in other than water type dinosaurs, and now I have!
Doris and her Pleosaur friend, Momo, show us the way to meet Doris' sister somewhere beneath the ocean and we've reached a secret cave. Through the cave, we swam upwards and found ourselves breathing air again.
"Welcome, Saura and Miku, to our home." Doris said with open arms and Momo barks her welcome too.
Looking around, we're currently still in water but it's small like a pool, looking up, we can see a small opening where we can see a small part of the sky. There's a space where we can stand out of the water and on the right side, there's a door that probably leads somewhere.
Getting out of the water, Miku could finally breathe air again as the bubble surround him pop while waiting after 10 seconds my tail transform back into my legs and my dress back as well before my legs turn to a tail, as well as Doris' tail into legs with her clothes being a sea-blue dress with cream-color shells decoration on the collar, the hem on short sleeves and skirt. Her footwear are a pair of blue slippers. As for Momo, she could walk or rather crawl on land and sometimes Doris used her water magic on her to cool her off in case she's tired out.
"Come on, I can't wait to introduce you to my sister!" Doris said with a happy smile as she take my hand and show the way with Miku and Momo follow behind.
Exiting the pool, we found ourselves face to face with a female human with a fair skin, wavy black hair, blue eyes and wearing a dark blue dress. She looks very mature and beautiful compared to Doris' cute and lovely vibe.
"Doris, where have you been?! Don't you know how worried I was?!" The woman scolded, her hands on her hips. Then, she turn her head to me. "Oh, and who is this?"
Doris breath a sigh and direct her hand to me, in introduction. "Saura, this is my big sister Marin." Doris introduced. "Marin, this is my new friend, Saura."
"I-It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Marin. My name is Saura and my best friend, Miku Microraptor." I bow.
"Oh my, a human and a land dinosaur? My little sister has been quite busy." Marin giggled. "Tell me, Doris. How did this happen? And don't leave any detail behind."
Serving some treats and tea, we sat at a table while Miku and Doris played together in another pond. I have to say, their house is very watery filled with lots of shells. It has a very cool and calming effect.
After, Doris told her sister her story about the Zombiesaur Elasmosaurus, Momo and her injuries, meeting Saura and Miku, Marin was shock but relief especially grateful that Saura healed her sister and her friend. Also, learning the fact that I can turn my legs into a tail. There was a hint of a feeling when Marin hears my name but she can't seem to remember it.
Now that the we're fully acquainted with each other, it's Marin and Doris sisters' turn to tell their part of their story about themselves since they're more or less know that they're the only known humans left in Dainason Kingdom.
Around 10 or 11 years ago, the sisters lived in Dainason's Commoner Village where their family, the Azurine, support the people by fishing for edible sea creatures to eat. Her family are really good friends with the water dinosaurs and they view them as family. Because of this, the Guardian of Water, Lazula bestow them the blessing magic power of turning their legs into tails when touch by water and back on dry land after 10 seconds, breathing underwater for a long period of time and the ability to manipulate water at will. Due to the invasion of the Zombiesaurs, Doris and Marin's parents were killed by Zombiesaurs which forced the young Marin to protect and run away with her infant sister, which she raised her baby sister alone with Guardian Lazula's protection in this new home under the sea.
Listening to their story made me feel so sad that those Zombiesaurs have been around the moment after a year of my and Doris. After knowing about there were humans from the outside world made me feel hopeful about the possibility of discovering my human birth parents. The proof that Doris is human made me happy and glad that I can spend time with someone who looks like me in age besides the teen and young adult Sleet and Lampla.
"By the way, big sister. I've noticed there's not a single kelp in the sea. Do you have any idea why?" Doris questioned.
"Oh, that. I'm afraid it's because of... that Elasmosaurus Zombiesaur." Marin answered.
"What?! You mean that zombie monster that attacked us ago?" Doris gasp.
"Yes. Because of it's poisonous body, it causes all the green in the sea to die. At this rate, without it, all the fish will die which also in turns making the theropods starve to death."
"Um, excuse me?" I raise my hand.
"Yes, what is it?" Marin said.
"What about the water itself? How come it doesn't poison the water since all the creatures that live in it doesn't get affected by it?" I ask an obvious question.
"Oh, that. We don't need to worry about the problem of the water itself." Doris answer. "The Guardian of Water, Lazula has already created a special artifact that purifys the water from pollution, including Zombiesaurs poison. It's called the "Clear Pearl"."
The second artifact, Clear Pearl was created after the the first artifact, Endless Fountain by Guardian Lazula.
The Endless Fountain conjured water endlessly while the Clear Pearl possessed the power to make water clean and pure. This second artifact is powered up by using pearls. This ability only affects water.
As for the sea's greenery problem, there's a special seeds that can grow healthy kelp which can be used for creatures to eat and other purposes for the skin.
"Those kelp seeds are very special and important that they're kept in a chest, hidden somewhere in the ocean by Guardian Lazula." Marin walk to a drawer and take out a rolled parchment. "Guardian Lazula loves searching special and important things hidden in clues. I have the first clue with me and I was thinking of going to get the kelp seeds but I have to take care of the dinosaurs of the water. What should I do?"
"How about Momo and I go look for the kelp seeds for you?" Doris suggest.
"What, you?"
"Please, big sister! I want to help you!"
"...No, you can't."
"But why?" Doris cried.
"There's a Zombiesaur out in the sea, meaning danger and I'm not letting my baby sister put herself in danger and injure again." Marin lecture.
"I'm 10 and a half years old, I'm not a baby anymore!" Doris argue.
The sisters begin to argue with each other. I don't have any siblings but I can understand a bit, which reminds me of a parent and child relationship.
To ease Marin's worry for her little sister's safety, I put a stop on their quarrel and offer them my suggestion to her.
"Miss Marin, how about I go with Doris...as her bodyguard. If she gets any injuries, I can heal her with my magic, just like before. How about it, will that be alright?" I said, hoping the older sister will compromise.
"Yes, that's right. Saura healed me and Momo before, you can trust her that she'll keep us both safe from danger." Doris exclaim.
After some careful thinking, Marin answed, " Alright, very well. Saura, will you promise you'll keep my baby sister safely from any danger?"
"I promise! I won't let Doris or Momo get hurt!"
"In that case, I put my utmost trust in you."
Gaining Marin's trust and permission, she give us the first clue to the chest and some sandwiches for our journey.
But before we set out, I suggested that I have to train my newly-acquired water magic in which case that I'll use my own version of water bubble for Miku to breath in a longer period of time.

Respond to HunterHQ:
I won't spoil anything about the characters, you'll know soon in further chapters.
The girls don't actually having reptile DNA or anything like that. I didn't put the word mermaid on it since in that time, the word mermaid doesn't exist in the time of dinosaurs so I decided to wrote a tail of an Ophthalmosaurus.
The reason why the Stone Plates reacted to the D Team, is possible that Sleet, Lampla and Turmer possess some of their traits like personality other than their gender. (Sleet for Rex, Lampla for Zoe and Turmer for Max)
Does the Zombiesaurs in the game can even do elemental attacks?
I already have a final battle plot out.
More of Zongazonga's character role will show more soon.
Dainason Kingdom doesn't set in any country. It is a mysterious place where dinosaurs heard of it and or lucky to find it, they can be free to live in peace and harmony.
As for Jonathan story, you can do it if you want to. But I think I'm not interested in reading it.
