Glowing Hearts

It's the day

Hi, you may think I'm a regular guy, right? *chuckles*Then think again my friend. I am a merman and not just any merman at that either. I'm Prince Tork of the Seven Seas. My father is that guy up there on the big coral throne, King Trident; the woman next to him is my mother, Queen Coral.

My father was a big man and like all royals had a black tail. His crown rested on his head of gray hair, and he held the most powerful weapon in all the seven seas, the Trident. My mother was the most beautiful in all the seas, she had long wavy hair the color of coral, hints her name. She sat with her flowing top smiling warmly at the crowd.

The two girls next to me are my little sisters, Layla and Lyla. Layla had short coral colored hair like our mother the same goes for Lyla but hers was much longer. They both have blue eyes as well. That pretty much sums up my family.

I myself don't thing I'm best looking merfolk around, but that's just me being modest. I had short black hair due to my father but his has grown gray over the years. I, like my mother, have blue eyes.

Today is the day I receive my vision from the oracle on who my soulmate is. All royals get the vision on their eighteenth birthday and lucky me.... It's my eighteenth birthday!! Woo.... I bet I don't look as excited as all the other people in the room, and I can understand where their excitement is coming from. Their Prince is about to find out who he shall rule the kingdom with. That's a pretty big deal.

"My Prince!!"

The voice snapped me out of my thoughts. I looked to the oracle and noticed she had been calling me. I quickly got up from my small throne and swam over to her swirling pot of potions. I gulped slightly and nodded toward the oracle and she mumbled something and suddenly I was surrounded by the blue potions in the pot. It rose putting me into a trance where I would finally see my soulmate.

~~~in the trance~~~

I could see a teenage boy about a year or two younger than me. He had auburn hair and beautiful green eyes, not to mention a huge shit eating grin on his face. I could see his memories in third person so it was like I was on the inside looking in. In most of the memories he looked happy and cheerful.

Then suddenly it became darker as I went further back in the years. I could see him in a dark room many times crying alone and it made my heart ache seeing that the boy I was going to fall in love with was hurting at one point in his life.

Then everything went black....

I awoke to people calling to me asking questions on how my soulmate looked, what they were like, and blah, blah, blah.... I groaned slightly as I rubbed my head. I opened my eyes to see my mother above me with a slightly worried look.

"Uuugghh," I groaned as I sat up slowly.

"Give the boy some space!!" a loud demanding voice boomed overhead and all noise and crowding ceased. I looked to my father the pounding in my head dying down.

Well... I think that was the most craziest experience I've ever had.
