After being made the 'prize' in a twisted Suitors Dance, Sapphire, a young mermaid rebels against the Ancient Rules and could end up marrying someone she barely knows. Will Finn prove to be all that she was looking for, despite the recurring visio...
I opened my eyes the next morning to find that it was the day I met suitors for my marriage. Of course, this day was nothing but a sham, the suitors were nothing to me, only for Kind Alat (my father) to pick one. I was forced to go so I put on a white flower crown and reluctantly had one of the handmaidens help me put on a white with blue tinted silk gown, and for a minute I held up the sculpture of a "figure skater" something my mother had given me. Apparently sliding around on ice was a humans idea of fun. While I rarely turned into a two-legged creature of their kind I can't imagine finding slipping around on frozen water enjoyable I quickly brushed my hair with a seashell comb and swam to my small closet, opening it I wondered what it was that I was supposed to wear.
I quickly chose a soft green silk skirt and a small green shelled tank top. Looking in the transparent looking mirror I thought I looked like Mother. Green hair and skin that changed often from green to pale tan looking. I sighed and watched the bubbles as the flew upward trying to escape to the surface. Mentally I pulled up my big girl skirt and swam out of my room. In the distance I heard the sound of trumpets, signaling a royals arrival. I inwardly groaned at the prospect of spending time with strange new people I didn't even know.
I quickly attached some starfish clips to my hair and swam down into the great hall to face the suitors. Once I got to the end of the stairs I saw everyone freeze, turning to look at me, inwardly I wanted to scream at them but instead, I held my head high, that is until I saw him. From the vision.
But how?
