A girl named Eva Michael showed her brilliancy as a skill by solving a Rubik's cube in 57 seconds.

And all the while the judges were noting down things and the crowd was wide awake, rejoicing and cheering like it was still the first girl presenting, they had no sign of tiredness, instead they looked more alive.

Three girls showed their talent of being strong and destroying things with their heads, I already knew that they will be removed immediately from the choosing as people were looking for a queen and not some bulls.

Finally it was only five us left, we were all moved to the dressing room and in the room there was a TV to watch other girl's performances, we were reduced to four as a girl among us was mentioned to show her talents, the girls showed her talent as a comedian and the next girl was called out living only two girls and me left to present our talents.

While I was in the room, one of the girls that were with me asked me whether I was nervous because she wanted someone to share the agony with, she was shaking and sweating, and then I remember the rules to live with humans. Lie but don't lie too much' and that's what I did, I lied. "I feel so nervous but I try to act calm to assure myself that all is well" I said softly and quickly enjoying the taste of the lie I spoke out. "and she nodded in understanding "you will do great" she said "if your skill or talent don't get you in, then your beauty would" she said, and I was immediately called to get dressed as I was already late for my dress-up, and then quickly I was slipped in to a full fabric, flow length, deep red, flay gown, that was so long that it flowed to the floor like a wedding gown, it was so beautifully designed with diamond, it was beautiful, heavy diamond necklace and earrings were placed on my neck and ears which I did not object to, and also my heels were designed, sparkling and beautiful, it reminded me of the waters, I missed home.

My make up was light but not too light. It was too much for me but I did not care, my mind was somewhere else and for the first time it was not on the choosing, or on my plans, but it was in the river, my home.

My name was called out by the announcer and I began to walk towards the stage.

It was then I began to think, what would happen after the choosing of the twenty, how long will I stay in this place, I wanted to go home, the sea needs it's queen.

On like in the land where kings and queens hardly leave the palace for very long time, in the sea, as the sea queen I can leave for as long as I want, and anytime I want, but being with the sea makes us feel at peace, now I feel like I am in a foreign land, a land not made for me. My home is in the sea, my throne lies there, there I have power, there I rule, there I am queen. I yearn for home, my powers are tired of being kept unused and I decide to break my promise of inactivating my powers.

I had to feel little of my home in me. I needed to know that I am not a mortal, I needed to know that I am a queen, I needed to be reminded of my power and the authority I carried, I needed to see the waters bow to me-their queen, I wanted to see the sirens sing

in joy and unity to see their queen, I needed to be once again dressed by Sicak,Micak,and Ticak, when will I go back to home.
