The Northern Mermaid

Five

~A Few Months Later~

I walk around one of the islands of Greece, Rita told me of a moon pool here in Greece where on the island there is more to talk about regarding the spells I've been able to cast recently but also the history of mermaids and the many types—Yup. Types as in more than one. Like how when Cameron tried to enter the moon pool with the trident, I knocked him out of the way and used this spell called the Tower of Light. It was originally used to destroy a comet but it takes the combined power of at least three mermaids to create it, if one mermaid tried to create it it could kill the mermaid.

When I created it, the trident was blasted out of the moon pool and someplace else. Probably space. After that, Rita told me about this place that could explain how I'm able to know spells that no mermaid now could know. But first I need to find this moon pool, it's somewhere in the Mediterranean Sea though I was warned that there was some mermaids that I need to be careful of not meeting. This breed of mermaid is more animalistic and kills, their the definition of a siren. They also are very aggressive and live a long time like immortal.

I use the vague instructions Rita gave me and I bought a map to pinpoint it to a place near Kythira, Greece. I'm pretty sure it's here, the tale Rita gave me was both vague and no one has been here in nearly a thousand years. It's night time so no one is out, but when I go one way I bump into something cold. Looking up I jump seeing it's a man with blonde hair, blue eyes and pale skin. He is really hot, I mean super fucking hot. Like you know that feeling you get? The feeling where heat builds in your core and you get all bubbly and horny and you just want to mount the person right here and now, that is what I'm feeling "Hi" waving my hand "sorry"

"It's alright" he says and I giggle a bit, tilting his head "what are you doing roaming around at night? Especially a place like this?" He probably means far away from people since there is a lot of night life fun the other way if I go there but I'm not.

"I'm looking for a spot" I say

"A spot?" He asks

"Yeah" nodding my head clicking my tongue "an island, I'm looking for an island in Greece but I can't find one" He raises his eyebrow at I let out a laugh since Kythira is technically an island "I...I meant" shaking my head "forget it...I'll be on my way now sorry for bumping into you"

I use the map and go one way, my heart is beating loudly. When I arrive to my destination I gasp trying to keep myself from falling to my death or more like fall into a bunch of water with spikes all around.

A cold hand wraps around my waist pulling me back, I see it's that blonde guy I bumped into "Thanks"

"Are you alright?" He asks

Nodding my head, I notice our bodies are touching and if I wanted my first kiss I could have it right now. But no, I need to find the island or the moon pool.

"Where are you going?" He asks

"Um" this is embarrassing "I Um...I need to get down there" pointing to the ocean and this guy looks from me to the water then to me.

"I would advise during the day" he says "not now"

"Why not now?" I ask

"Because there is a shark there" my eyes widen and I look back squinting, I see he's right there's a shark roaming around there.

"How certain" I ask "the shark won't just stay in the daytime?"

"I'm not" he says "but it would be more appropriate during the day where you can see"

"Did you follow me?" I ask

"Your staring at a map" he says "and almost fell to your death, of course I followed"

"Why?" I ask "not that I'm not grateful but...why?"

"I don't know" he says

We are silent, my hands are still on his chest as his arms are wrapped around me. We are silent until I hear something and look down seeing a snake come closer and I jump wrapping my legs around the man "Snake!" Screeching as I wrapped my arms around his neck holding onto him for dear life.

He chuckles walking away but not after in notice he stepped on the snakes head killing it. "Fear not, I won't let anything happen to you"

"I'm Lyarra" I introduce myself

"Demetri" nodding his head, he stopped and we stared at one another. Leaning in close, I close my eyes as I press my lips to his. Demetri moved his hand to my hair and I gasp when his pulled back a fistful, slipping his tongue into my mouth his tongue and mine go into an almost like battle with one another.

Moaning against his lips, my grip tightens especially as more heat builds between my legs and I just know my panties are soaked. Pulling away for some hair, my chest rises and falls as Demetri and I stare at one another.

As I stare at him, the feeling I felt before comes back. The feeling of being calm and feeling like I can do anything. It's like this fire that has been struggling to burn brightly finally does.

The moment is ruined when my phone goes off, taking it I answer it without checking the caller ID "Hello?"

"Lyarra?" I hear Rita's voice "are you on Kythira?"

"Yeah" I confirm not really paying attention since I just want to stay in Demetri's arms, well I am but what I mean is not to talk but be in silence as we hold one another. Holy fuck I've never felt this way before.

"I was wrong" she tells me "the island you need to go to was sunk, as in the ocean consumed it" or a bunch of mermaids "it's about one hundred miles from Kythira, but be warned it's a known place now for sharks such as great whites"

"Okay" I am out of my trance then "okay...can I call you back?"

"Of course" she says "just make sure you call since there are some things I found out about this city" that it is Atlantis? Is that a real place?

Hanging up, I unwrap my legs but Demetri keeps his arm around me. "I um..." staring at him "I need to head...head back to my hotel"

"Where are you staying?" He asks

"A hotel" I answer

He chuckles "I mean the name of the hotel?"

"Oh!" Turning read I think of the name "I don't remember the name but I know what it looks like and that it's by the beach"

"Let me escort you back" he offers "make sure you get back to your hotel safely"
