“Mermaid tears, huh?” Jason asked. “I have a mermaid friend down in Atlantis, she might be able to help us.” Mei said as we reached a large ocean. “Well, what are you waiting for? Jump in!” Mei then jumped into the water as everyone followed. “There it is!” Mei observed. Atlantis looked at lot like the Russian Palace. The palace is made of white stone – here were found also some secret chambers. Palaces themselves are built of red brick, which was laid around an intricate wooden structure. The palace is very ornate – but at the same time it is devoid of any sculptures and ornamentation taken from the living nature. All the amazing ornamentation is achieved by purely architectural techniques accomplished with brick. Currently the palace is very colourful – the original one was less garish. What was very interesting is the covering of onion domes - each of them has distinctive design.

“The palace wasn't like this the last time we were here.” Mei said as we walked to the front of the palace. “State your name.” The guard requested. “Mei Suzuki.” Mei answered as they guards let us in. “Queen Zillah Geulimja has been waiting for you.” The guard said. “Zillah Geulimja?” Mei asked as the guards escorted us to the throne room. In the throne room there were three thrones. The one of the left was blue. The one of the right was purple. The one in the middle was turned away from us. “Mei, I was wondering how long it take for you to get here.” The voice from behind the middle throne chuckled. It had a Australian accent. “I see you're going by your original name.” Mei scoffed. “I see you've gone soft.” The voice chuckled again. “Why are you here in the first place?” Mei asked. “Well, Mei.” The voice started, the throne started to turn around.

“I'm queen.”

The lady’s hair is yellow with pink streaks and a lime green curl. She has gold and pink eyeshadow. Her fins are clear white with a more flame like design, she also had a Vazanee sign on her shoulder. Her top is coral pink and extends up to her neck, there are s. Her skirt is black with teal and pink jellyfish and sand dollar/parasol designs on it. The dress has teal peplums on the side. Her shoes are pink flames with a fin heel. She had a solid pink fin headpiece with bead patterns and three golden flame belts which extends from waist to breast.

She got up from her throne and walked towards us. “Hmm, Avandth Naxxremi said they be more threatening, they just look like wimps to me.” She chuckled. “You must be Charlotte, Mizette was right your is the exact color of a blueberry.” She tried to play with my hair but I smacked her hand away. “Feisty much.” She scoffed. “Well to answer your question, Mei. Avandth sent me down here to conquer atlantis. 'N’ that's exactly what I did. Now, I'm queen. It was quite easy, really.” Zillah answered. “Why would you do that?” Mavis asked. “That's for me to know and you to find out.” Zillah answered tapping Mavis’s nose. “So what happened to Queen Zulu?” Piper asked. “I told my guards to take her out and they could do whatever they wanted to her, does it look like I know where she's at.” Zillah answered. “And it's not like I care, as long as I'm Queen I could care less about her.” Zillah added as she sat down on her throne again. “Now, please go, I have stuff to do.” Zillah said as we left.

“I heard you’re trying to find mermaid scales?” A girl leaning on the side of the palace asked. She has a deep blue tail with molded scales and a fun design at the top of the fin, with pink details in a crescent moon shape and yellow stripes around. At the end of her tail, a removable fin sprouts, in, yet again, a crescent moon like shape, with swirls at the edge, all in translucent blue. This fin allows her to stand on her own. Her arm fins are chunkier and glittery and she also sports a pair of articulated wings in translucent light blue, that resemble fish fins. Her makeup is neon and tropical, with a combination of bright pink, yellow and orange spot design around her eyes and her lips are a bright blue. Her hair is her regular blonde, styled in a side ponytail with a twist knotted around the ponytail, from her hairline. Her hair features thick bright blue and pink highlights. She wears a wrap around her bust, exposing her stomach, that wraps around her neck, in a dark blue fabric with pink starfish designs.

“Carmen!” Mei rejoiced as she hugged her. “You said you know where she is?” I asked. “Yep, but have to make sure no one is following you.” Carmen answered as we swam away from the palace. After a while, Carmen looked back to see if anyone was following us. They weren’t. Carmen then stopped at a strawberry stand. “Gillyweed.” Carmen whispered as the lady nodded and handed Carmen a key. We then followed Carmen to the back of the stand until she stopped at what seemed to be a circular steel manhole. Carmen unlocked the manhole and we all climbed down. Once I got off the ladder we ended up of what seemed to be a rebel base of some sort. “Hello, Charlotte.” A lady with a blue mermaid tail and a pink crop top smiled, she had on a beautiful crown. “Your the princess!” My eyes widened. “Yes I am, and take this.” The princess then handed me a blue mermaid scale. “Thank you princess!” I thanked as we swam to the surface.
