"This" Rita tells me as I show her the trident that turns into this silver lotus ring with a blue diamond on it "is the original trident wielded by Merqueen Atlanta" after a few months since I wanted to go sight seeing, I finally am back in the Golden Coast. I told Rita what happened and she's glad I'm safe.

"Wait!" I ask "did I go to Atlantis?"

She chuckles shaking her head "No, Atlantis is in the Bermuda Triangle—a dangerous place that no one goes to" waving the trident "this trident was passed down from parent to child for centuries, it's what the mermen based their trident off of. This is supposed to have been lost"

"What metal is it made of?" I ask

"It's infused with mermaid magic" she tells me "and dragon fire"

"Valyrian steel?" I ask

Shaking her head "It looks that way but much more stronger and as you can see lighter, if you were given this then it means you were destined for great things"

"I know this sounds selfish" I say "but I don't want to the responsibility of that also what's the difference with this trident and the last?"

"No one with a sane mind wants that kind of responsibility" she says "and the difference is that this weapon can't do harm to moon pools, it is near impossible to break and it is said it can only be wielded by someone pure of heart and a true leader some say"

"Rita?" I ask ignoring the true leader but "do soulmates exist?"

Nodding her head "For mermaids they do, though it is a one in a million chance. If a mermaid were to find their mate they wouldn't hesitate in giving up their pod to be with the mate—thousands of years ago did merpeople and humans live in harmony but over time did it change. Vampires, witches and werewolves...all of the supernatural species were tired of having to accommodate to humans who feared what could happen so they tried to eradicate us. Wanting to be the apex predator, soon we let them believe that. Easier being myths than real"

"How's Zac?" I ask

"He's doing fine" she nods her head "the pod is back but from how I see it since the seventh moon cycle is approaching for Zac, they wish to leave to find a new home"

"And Serena is with the council trying to prove Zac isn't a threat?" I ask

Nodding her head "I need to head to school, you keep this trident hidden. The council will try to take it if they know you have it" walking away, I take the trident and it soon becomes that silver ring again.

"Ah! A cat!" I hear screaming of two familiar voices

"Ah! A cat!" I hear screaming of two familiar voices.

Going into the grotto, I smile seeing "Mimmi! Ondina!" They look my way and smile, helping them up as Serena picks up Poseidon. Of course, they've never seen a cat before. At least their reacting better than Serena, Nixie or Lyla.
