Callize Ariestelle is a mermaid, or at least that's what the humans call the nixies: water spirits that can transform into human form.
The nixies are long time enemies of the fae, even helping the human government capture them to harvest their magi...

This is a poem by wattpad user VenusMGloria for this story. Check her out, she's amazing!
Aerial, Celestial
Dainty, Divine
An unearthly little feeling
Spiritual, Sublime
If love were subtle
Humble, refined
Of wings and tails
Our fairytale
Would be impalpable
Unsubstantial
Rarefied
Of wind and water
It wouldn't matter
Exquisite, delicate fingertips
Dancing through my spine
Two unholy worlds
Unforgiving thorns of hate
I will wait
For our ghostly encounter
Count a minutes to hours
For our Ethereal fate

The sun had risen to the middle of the sky by the time I realized I was not gonna make it to lunch again. Above me, bright rays of sunshine stretched in their enthralling attempt to reach the bottom of the sea. I swished the end of my tail anxiously.
It was the third time this week I'd missed lunch. Put quite simply, I was not in the mood to go.
I had recently failed the Dream Test for the third time since I had beed deemed ready to take it. It was a serious thing. If I was to become Queen of Asrai Kingdom, I had to figure out how to pass it, or else I was going to be a Healer Nix for the rest of my life.
The test had been so recent, it was burnt into my mind as if I had been branded with a hot iron, and I couldn't stop re-living it.
"Miss Callize," said Selene, one of the examiners.Her warm eyes and respectful tone of voice, typical of an Elder Nix, soothed the nagging ominous feeling in my stomach, even if only just a little bit.
