The Northern Mermaid

Nineteen

"A girl" Nina, a sea nymph who has her hands on my belly smiles. I am in the an underwater cave with Ondina and Mimmi, many of the nymphs are here with mermaids with different colored tails. Ondina, Mimmi and I were given this herb that many hatchlings are given to be able to breathe underwater. Help us develop the ability to breath like other mermaids, this plant went extinct in our world so mermaids there adapted to holding our breaths "and a boy" this cave, it led to this beautiful city that remains hidden from humans. Turns out the singing we heard was the water nymphs calling us to the city.

"Twins?" I ask as I'm sitting on a coral reef chair.

Nodding her head "healthy and strong"

"Nina?" I ask "what is Avalon?"

She smiles sadly "it's a legend, a tale for our kind to think of" I look at her "Avalon is supposed to be a kingdom where humans and supernaturals can live together in peace—but it's a myth. Why?" I've been dreaming of a kingdom where it's both humans and supernaturals. What if I can create that?

"Do all supernaturals hide?" I ask

Nodding her head "Yes"

"Lya" Mimmi comes up next to me "we need to go, it's almost nightfall"

Nodding my head "Here" Nina hands us a glass bottle with a cork, this green dust in it "this will help you girls adapt to being able to breathe underwater. One pinch in your drink three times a day"

Nodding our heads, we soon leave. "Where's Ondina?" I ask

"Went to Rita" she says "she's going to see if she can get the pods to come back here and be apart of this world" taking the bottle, we swim to the shore. Once we are out, we make sure no one is around being cloaked before drying ourselves off.

"Maybe I can get some of the nymphs to help grow food for the humans" I tell her "prove that us supernaturals can live in harmony with them"

We head up to my room where father is here and he looks our way "Mimmi? Could you give my daughter and I a moment alone?" Nodding her head she leaves "why is Jaime Lannister complaining to me about you killing your unborn child?"

Shaking my head "I'm not going to, I figured that if he and his family think I will only have daughters then it will be much easier to get our marriage annulled"

He sighs relieved "that's a relief, are you going to the tourney tomorrow?" After another month, my father is having a tourney in his honor as the new hand. He asked us if it was possible to make gold and we said yes, but we told him it would be easier to replicate it. So he had a chest of gold before us and asked for our help so we managed to make about ten million gold. One of the things I love about the mermaid city is that no one cares for the money, it's more about helping out the community. Being able to put in your worth.

Nodding my head "After I go swimming" my phone goes off "that's Demetri"

"I'll leave you two" he leaves as I grab my phone, locking the door and closing the windows making sure no one can hear. I put one of my earbuds in before answering his face time.

"Hey" I smile at him, Diamond joins me on the bed putting her head on my lap.

"How are you?" He asks "the baby?"

"We're doing fine" rubbing my swollen belly that is very large now "I think it's twins"

"Really?" He asks

Nodding my head "Boy or girl?"

"Both" sighing

"What's wrong?" Yeah, apparently he can feel my emotions.
