Restoration

The guy named Carl

Veronica landed with a thud on the sea shore.
Legs;she hadn't quite gotten use to them.
The special lali started to appear on her skin.
It was a special trademark of her special specie of mermaid.
The lali that only appeared on the skin of the royal family.
She would know by the lali how soon she would become a siren.
When the time to transform was up,the lali would cover all her body.
This was the first batch.
It would take another hour before she transformed.
She still had time.
That wouldn't be good, she just finished her concoction two days ago.
She was deep into elf territory with no water around.
This was bad.
Very bad.
She managed to get on her feet and tried to walk.
One feet in front of the other.
She tripped and fell again.
She was doomed.
"Need help?" She heard a voice say above her.
She looked above her father to see a man with a well defined body.
"Yes" She replied, grabbing his hand.
"Carl Santiago" He introduced, stretching out his hand.
Carl?She had never heard of  a name carl before.
Sounded pleasant.
"Yes" She replied and took his hand and stood up.
"Veronica waters" She looked at his ears,they were normal.
Odd. He winked at her and smiled"Veronica, it sounds like music to my ears"
She rolled her eyes,trust men to be poetic.
She was still looking at him he didn't resemble an elf.
Only one way to find out.
"Are you an elf?" She suddenly blurted out.
Carl laughed"Elf?Veronica, you're a comedian really,elves are creatures of fantasy
They aren't real,quit the bedtime stories waters"
Veronica was knocked off her feet,elves not real?
The mortal enemies of sirens everywhere?
The cruel malicious beasts ever known to mermaid kind.
Not real?
Carl was crazy.
Insane.
"I love your lali,its a work of art" Carl said.
Lali!She had totally forgotten her deadline was almost up.
She couldn't let this 'Carl' to find out her secret.
She couldn't.
"Carl,do you know anywhere I can stay for the night, I am tired" She asked looking at her feet.
They were tingling.
She didn't have much time.
"Well,Happy homes resort is just by the corner.
We could go there" He suggested.
Veronica didn't care where they went as long as there was water.
"Perfect Carl" She replied,feeling uncomfortable.
The doors of Happy home resort swung open as Veronica and Carl entered.
She looked around, it wasn't the best resort she'd seen.
Back home there was sea life resort an underwater resort.
It was a  Paradise,way parallel to what she was seeing now.
She and Carl made their way to the receptionist.
"Two suites,one for me and one for this señorita", he said grinning at the gruesome faced,male receptionist.
Veronica didn't have much time, the lali was spreading and fast too.
The receptionist just glared at Carl and collected his card.
Her legs were already sticking to one another and a scale had popped out.
She then realized something the gruesome looking men all around her drinking and playing cards had sharp pointed ears which only meant one thing:This people are elves.

This is the story of Ivora
" Mummy?"
"Yeah?"
"Where's daddy?" Ivora's question pierced her mother's heart.
"He went on a long trip" Her mother called Ivy replied.
"If he went on a trip,why  hasn't he returned?" Ivora asked."Because he did some very bad things"
"Why?" Ivora asked looking at her mother sadly.
"Because he's bad" Ivy had had enough of her daughters questions.
"Why is papa bad?" Ivy didn't reply and washed ivora's auburn looking hair.
God really had made Ivora specially.
Ivy didn't want to talk about frank.
He had dumped her and left her pregnant.
He then came back five years later to capture ivoras' heart.
She had gotten word frank was a Knight at West tower.
Married to one of his kings mistresses.
Ivy poured a green liquid in ivoras' bath water.
"Mama,what's that green thing?" Ivora suddenly asked.
"Concoction" Ivy replied,she leaned into ivoras' ears and whispers "To hide your scales and prolong your human shape"
Ivora and her mother Ivy were living in the midst of  elves who would kill them if they found out they  were mermaids.
"I take it too,we must not let anyone find out you're like this okay?"
Ivora sighed"Yes,mummy. I promise"
"That's my girl"
