Epilogue: Interwoven Seas

Four months later

Harry's Pov

The sun felt just right and warm against my tail and skin as I laid sprawled out against the heated rocks, heated by the rays of the autumn sun.

Despite it being autumn, California was as warm as ever, the people going to the beach regularly for a nice swim. While I, had just gotten out of the water after spending a few days below the surface with my father and Niall at Atlantis.

It was true, I was the last known royal of Atlantis. After the standoff and battle with the hunters, my father told me his real identity and really, my own. It took me a few weeks to adjust to him, but after we got to talking and I had questioned him about my mother, I got used to his presence.

Actually, it was nice to have him around as my true father, one that wouldn't hurt me and actually accepted me and Louis.

So after a few weeks, I went with him below the surface for a couple of days to follow him into the depths and finally see this underwater kingdom Niall had told me stories about. It was hard to leave Louis for a couple of days but it went by quick considering how long of a tour it was through the gigantic kingdom.

I was surprised at how humans haven't even found it yet, it was so big but my father explained there were many protective barriers around the pacific kingdom to make it invisible to the human eyes and human technology.

So, over the course of the last few months, I've spent my time split between the surface and the depths, rebuilding Atlantis with the help of my father, as well as getting to know him, and spending my time either at the bakery with Martha or with Louis and the boys.

Mostly, it was just me and Louis while Niall and Zayn had their own fun and Liam did his own thing too. I lived with Louis and his family as I didn't have my home anymore on the surface ever since my real father had made the boat drown in the sea, the bodies of the hunters never being recovered.

That standoff still haunted me. Haunted all of us and the first few days of knowing what we had done to protect ourselves, really pushed me and Louis together when I had thought I had lost him and him thinking he had lost me too.

Fast forward back to today. Today was date night for me and Louis as well as me going apartment hunting with Louis because he asked me not too long ago if I would move in with him in a apartment. Of course, I said yes!

That night was so special. He really planned the perfect date, taking me to the beach, of course, and making us a little picnic and then we sat and talked and talked for a couple hours before watchung the sunset and then we went for a swim, obviously. It was the first date we've had since after the standoff because really, after that, we had both gotten busy.

But between us, it was ok. Through our shared mark, I often felt his presence and just him so it comforted me a lot to just feel him at times with the mark and I'm sure Louis felt the same way.

But today, I was super excited. I couldn't help but wiggled against the rough rocks just to let out the bit of excitement I contained. But it was just too much, I felt like I could let out a scream!

I didn't because there were humans around but anytime now, I knew Louis would be coming. Before each time I left, we discussed when I'd be coming back so we'd see each other and Louis would help me by getting me some clothes and such.
