Writer's notes
On an island in the vast ocean...
Chapter 1- A Father's worries
In the vast western ocean, a beautiful and leafy island stood out, reigning in the immensity of the sea. There were wide and large palm trees next to other trees with vast canopies, golden sand that resembled gold when the sunlight fell on it, in addition to having an imposing mountain that ascended to the sky and a magnificent waterfall of crystalline water with a formidable drop that flowed into ten rivers along the island, providing water in abundance.
However, to the most attentive eyes, strange statues were visible scattered along the coast and on the mountain. These statues had shapes disfigured by the erosion of time, but still bore marks of their former splendor.
After all, despite being worn down by the action of time, the fact that they remained stoically standing and with a formidable foundation was visible, together with the fact that it was possible to see jewels that shone and that were located in the center of each one of them. All the statues formed an outer circle comprising those found along the entire edge of the beach that skirted the island and an inner one that embraced the mountain.
At that instant, two men with strong and tall builds were standing on the beach. The eldest wore a majestic crown in his hair and involved an elaborate hairstyle in the form of a narrow vertical bun while the rest of his hair was loose and reached his waist. The hair was black with half down in blue color. He also carried in his right hand a magnificent golden scepter that had a blue crystal that shone at the tip.
Despite wearing imposing clothes, the man seemed uncomfortable with that outfit. The other was a young man beside him whose face resembled the older one. He wore a more discreet crown in the same mold as the hair of the man beside him, and he was dressed in stately robes that were only less showy than that of the older man. He also seemed uncomfortable with the outfit.
The youngest had waist-length silver hair and ice-blue eyes.
"I know you don't like it, but unfortunately on land we have to use our legs and we can't swim the way we want to swim like we do in the ocean."
"Yes, Dad. I miss our tails too."
"Understandable... "
They walk through all the statues, examining them individually, with the eldest using his scepter to approach each one, being pleased to see that the glow intensifies.
After a few hours, the youngest sighs in relief as they approach the sea.
"Okay, we're done. We'll need to check it out next month." The older one comments showing relief on his face.
"It's tiring work."
"Yes, but necessary. Our ancestors took on this responsibility that was passed on to all rulers. Soon, it will be your job. I'm just preparing you to take on my obligations in the future."
"I know but... "
The older one raises his hand and rests it on the younger one's shoulder, speaking with a smile on his face with slight signs of aging, "You are a young jiaoren (Merman) shark, as I once was. As long as you remember the which I forbade you to do, you will have no further trouble."
"Not going to earth and not getting close to humans, much less demonic masters. You also told me not to be naive, especially around humans." The youngest repeats the words while rolling his eyes back at his father.
"Yes. While we are at sea, our power is formidable and because of that, many consider us to be the most powerful underwater demons of all. We are the condensed spirits of the oceans and because of that, our power is amplified while when we die, our power returns to the ocean at the same time we become sea foam. So on land, our power is reduced unless we are in an ice place because we can manipulate frozen water. Ice can make us stronger. Of course, it does not provide in the same level of power we possess in the oceans. As a member of the royal family, we have the biggest and most powerful tails. We must remain demons rarely seen by humans. It's enough what happened to some who dared to break the rules."
"I know."
"Humans are not to be trusted because they lie and deceive others, easily betraying for various reasons. We never lie and we hate deceit and betrayal. Demon masters are the most dangerous because they have magic from their occult pulse. They know use spells and seals, in addition to hating us monsters, regardless of whether we are innocent or not because they don't want to make any distinction. They kill us or try to tame us to serve them as slaves" He speaks tame and slave with visible disgust in his his face. "If you break these rules, you risk paying a heavy price. You are very kind and kind, as well as fair. You also have a certain degree of innocence. All of this makes me worried about you."
"Don't be concerned, Dad. I'll follow your rules. I understand it's for my own good and safety." He speaks after inhaling deeply, looking at his father who displayed a worried expression.
"I know you are perfectly adept at following rules. However, what worries me is your heart. A heart inherited from your mother. I fear for that heart because it can overwhelm your mind and there is nothing more dangerous than that. than letting your heart rule you. Such conduct is only acceptable and necessary in certain situations. Your heart has to be like the tide that is able to change throughout the day. You must adapt, Chang Yi. In the future, I will entrust the tribes of the seas to you who will reign in my place upon receiving the cedar of the ocean.
The young man had heard this speech a few times and understood his father's fear. He himself did not know the intensity of his heart and whether he would be able, in critical moments, to overcome his mind, that is, his rational side.
Even the Crown Prince had read that emotions were very powerful. In that respect, they were no different from humans.
Normally, he was in his gigantic shell with a large pearl illuminating everything. The young shark merman used to lie down when he wasn't helping his father in the kingdom. Whenever he could, he liked to assume his true form.
He preferred to live in his huge shell instead of living in the imposing undersea palace because he could be free.
After all, in the palace there were rules that had to be followed and he appreciated freedom.
The jiaoren had three forms. Its true form, a half-human form with a tail and the other with human legs. The last one was only used on that island and by the royal family because it was necessary to supervise when walking on land while the other mermaids and mermen only swam in the ocean without having to go to land.
"Don't worry. I'll follow your prohibitions."
"Thanks." He smiles as he tries to stay calm even though he still fears that his son will surrender to the kindness of his heart at a critical moment.
After all, the prince had kindness as part of his nature, in addition to strictly following the rules of his kind. For some, it could be synonymous with envy. For others, of sorrow. In his father's case, he felt more sorrow than envy because he feared the influence of the young man's heart on his mind along with the fact that he was naive in some ways.
Of course, the sovereign knew that suffering was sometimes necessary to learn from the situation and to mature. His son was still young by species standards and in danger of making a mistake.
Then the king remembers something his father said to him when he was a young jiaoren "Prosperity shapes strength and adversity nourishes the soul. That's what one must go through to be king."
Despite this, he was a father and wanted to protect his beloved son, even more so because his son reminded him of his beloved wife who died giving birth, making him feel an emptiness in his heart with the loss of his companion.
After all, the jiaoren only had one mate for life. They linked only once. When the queen disappeared like sea foam at the same time that her power and body returned to the ocean, the king had felt that he had lost part of his heart.
Even so, he never condemned his son. Not only that. He considered his son a reminder of his beloved. He was their child and the child brought her enough happiness to bear the pain of loss all these years. Perhaps, because he didn't want to lose him, he ended up raising him in an overly protected way, in addition to selfishly wanting to maintain his innocence that resembled that of the deceased queen.
However, when the young man grew up and began to swim freely in the ocean, the king belatedly saw his mistake. But, he couldn't do anything because it was too late. If he had taken a different course in relation to the education of his puppy, he could have avoided the naivety of his beloved son.
Now, all she had left was the immense concern for his safety. Not because of what the ocean held because as a member of the royal family, their power was frightening, standing out with distinction from the rest of their species, but because of the dangers brought by the mainland. Going close to the beach was risky if Chang Yi met some powerful demon masters.
By the way, it would be extremely dangerous for any jiaoren because as they were demons rarely seen by humans and considered powerful because they were the spirit of the condensed sea, representing the ocean itself together with the fact that they produced beautiful pearls, they were extremely coveted. A demon master would never pass up the chance to try to capture one of them for taming considering their reputation for being almost indomitable due to their outward pride and preferring death to being subjugated.
They would want to use them to rise from demonic masters by using them as trophies because no captured merfolk were turned into slaves because they chose to die in the name of their pride. Only a few mermaids ended up tamed because the females gave in more easily while the males died for their pride.
After all, they represented the ocean itself for being the spirit of the condensed sea and just like the ocean, this one did not bow to anyone, much less to a human.
This occurred in relation to the mermen because in terms of pride they were much prouder than the females of their species, in addition to being more resistant to the breaking of their spirit, dying before this occurred unlike some mermaids, although some females had died to not to be subjugated, thus increasing the fame of being difficult to be tamed as slaves.
The king was immensely worried that he had not thought that in the future that kid would grow up and want to swim freely in the ocean like any other merman.
They even had a song that praised the freedom known by all and always sung by their hearts.
They walk down to the sea and after the water hits above their waists, they both transform into their second form while their clothes are magically suppressed. They would only reappear when they took on human form again.
They had a human appearance from the waist up with strong muscles and imposing stature while appearing from the waist down, an imposing and majestic tail with fins that imitated the lotus. The size and grandeur of the tail already made them distinctive. Appearance only added to the distinction among its species.
After all, the royal family was the only one that had a tail that resembled lotus flowers.
Among mermaids and mermen, only the royal family had large, muscular, imposing tails. The jiaoren's tail represented their level of power and status. In matters of magic and physical strength, the members of the royal family were the most powerful, making them worthy of ruling the other beings in the sea, making them have a long, powerful and magnificent tail, highlighting them with distinction from the other members. of your kind.
In addition to the tail, there was the physique.
Among the merfolk, members of the royal family inherited greater strength and power befitting the enormous magic they possessed. A jiaoren was powerful in the ocean. The royal family was even more powerful. Their human part comprised muscles from the pectorals to the arms and abdomen, being in harmony with the muscular tails that were strong and imposing, as well as majestic.
In addition, both had beautiful appearance, living up to human myths about the incomparable and transcendental beauty of mermen and mermaids. Their voice was like that of the tales and held magical powers depending on the magic infused in their voices and for what purpose they used it.
The myth that her tears became beautiful pearls when they fell from her face was also true.
Then, when they reached the depths of the ocean, the young man assumed his true form which was that of a majestic and imposing white shark, having four times the size of the great white shark and when he finished maturing by the standards of his species, he would be six times bigger than the biggest animal shark in the ocean.
Only the royal family could boast that size. The remaining limbs assumed at most three times the size of a similar animal. There were those whose true form was an octopus, squid, dolphin, whale and any other underwater animal representing their respective tribes in the vast ocean while the descendants of the royal family's lineage were all white sharks.
The father watches him swim in the distance and sighs, remembering his youth before he took the scepter and agrees that his son needed to enjoy a life without strings attached for now. When he was older, he would lose a lot of freedom because he would have royal obligations and among them, he included inspection of borders and other matters. Ruling the oceans was a grueling task. There was no reason to throw the heavy burden on such young shoulders in the king's opinion.
With a sigh, he walks away in the opposite direction to the one taken by the prince.
Far away, there was a big boat. In it were some people and a young woman in noble clothes, wearing an elaborate hairstyle containing pendants hanging from the long wooden hairpins. She looked with anxious eyes at the vast ocean as the sailors worked hard on the boat.
