Amphibia mermaid AU (Sashanne)

Marcy and The King

To an unknowing eye, the palace was a brilliant place, filled to the brim with history and knowledge.

The perfect place for the curious Marcy Wu.

The walls had layers however, and hidden in between them was darkness and evil. The evil being unknown to most of Amphibia. Some were suspicious of course, but most embraced the beautiful facade of the kingdom. Unfortunately, even those who knew of the truth, embraced it as well.

Marcy was sitting peacefully at her desk. Books were piled high around her room, the window cracked open. There was a slight breeze that allowed the smell of parchment to spread throughout her quarters.

Life in Newtopia was always this easy. Even when she was working, nothing was too much for The Great Marcy Wu.

Naturally, Marcy's face was buried deep into her research. That was until she heard a knock on her door.

"Coming!" She shouted, tearing her face away from her book.

Marcy answered the door. It was none other than Lady Olivia.

"Hello Master Marcy, how are you?" Lady Olivia spoke properly with her thick accent, to which Marcy replied with,

"I'm fine, thank you."

"Good. I'm here to let you know that King Andrias wishes to see you. He is waiting for you in his study."

"Right on!" Marcy squealed with excitement as she rushed out the door, almost knocking over Lady Olivia on her way out.

She ventured her way through the maze of many hallways in the castle, that by now she had memorized by heart, until finding her way to King Andrias' quarters.

She gave a small knock on the large door but she didn't wait for an answer. She entered quickly and was immediately met with King Andrias' booming voice.

"Hello Marcy!" He shouted, drawing out his syllables.

The King was sitting comfortably at his desk, just as Marcy was. A pre-prepared game of FlipWart was laid out across the table, The King clearly insisting that the two should play at least one match.

"King Andrias! Lady Olivia said you wanted to see me?" Marcy spoke as she sat herself down, beginning to make her first move.

"Why yes! I have outstanding news!" The king gathered his pieces as well and got the game rolling.

"Oh my frog! What is it?" Marcy studied the board, before taking her next turn.

"Guess." Andrias gave a playful grin, but before Marcy could indulge in his antics, he quickly interrupted, "Oh nevermind that, it's just too exciting! We just received a message from Sasha and Grime! They found it, they found the mermaid!"

Marcy jumped out of her seat, so excited that she knocked over their game board.

"I can't believe it!" Marcy exclaimed, "The legends are true, it's not a myth!"

"I know right!"

The two squealed together.

"How long until they make it back to Newtopia?" Marcy asked, "The sooner they arrive the sooner we can get started."

It was the morning after Anne and Sasha's swim. Anne laid in her room absolutely smitten, impatiently waiting for Sasha's next visit.

The hatch flung open and for a moment Anne was preparing to tell Sasha 'Good Morning' but it hadn't been her who opened the hatch.

Huh, that's weird.
