Asherah


My head was pounding my eyelids heavy like boulders. 

When I opened them I saw the sun setting, Beautiful pink and orange-red filled the sky illuminating off the water.

 Wait... Water?

 I looked at Seen Miro and the RedHead laying my mother in the water.

 My eyes went wide As they pushed her underneath, submerging her in the water.

 I tried to get up and run But they tied me up.

 " MOM! STOP, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" I cried.

 They let go and I saw my mom float back up, I let out a sigh,  still uneasy and frightened.

 As she laid there floating they both took a step back from her, the ocean water rippling from her in a huge circle.

 She sparkled so brightly I had to look away. 

When I looked back she had scales...fish scales. 

They were coral pink and dark pink at the end of her huge tail. 

She had a scaly dark pink bra with little seashells and shiny pearls that the sun kissed. 

I was amazed, no words daring to leave my mouth.

 Miro and the RedHead pulled her out of the water leaving her tail in the water also amazed, they snapped out of their trance and looked at me. 

My eyes went wide as they walked up to me. 


Miro


Amazing. 

The Queen's tail was beautiful but I couldn't wait to see Asherah's, I wonder if she looked like her father's at all.

 Arabella and I Walked closer towards the princess who was awake and saw what just happened.

 " Your turn your Highness," Bella said her voice wavering, scared to touch the royal.

 " let's do this quickly... The sun is setting" I said and we picked up a kicking and yelling Princess.

 " WAIT!... Uhm. WHAT'S YOUR NAME?!" Asherah asked Bella trying to distract us. 

Bella smiled warmly adoration in her eyes and said,

 " Arabella you Highness, but you may call me Bella" 

And we pushed her underwater. 


Asherah


As they pushed me under I breathed in one more gulp of air. 

The salt water burned my eyes and nose.

 I panicked underwater. 

I tried to calm down feeling the warm water against my skin.

 But I couldn't, I inhaled water and felt it go into my lungs making me choke on the saltiness burning my throat.

 Bubbles coming from my nose and mouth, realizing the cool and much-needed air from my lungs.

 I heard a whisper,

 "You're home, No need to panic, Asherah"

 I completely stopped and calmed down listening to the waves whisper lovely nothings into my ears.

 Again I welcomed the darkness into my mind, allowing it to lay me to sleep.
