The Realities Squad

Chapter 13: The Musical Mermaid Shifter

"Wow. Okay, this is a lot of friend requests on here.." Kat wondered aloud as she gave the paper to Ariana.

Ariana glanced at the paper filled with the Realities Squad's requests for Artopians to acquaint them in their adventure to find the three relics to the secret library.

And boy, was there a lot.

Ariana set the paper down and sighed.

The plans for the trip were simple.

There will be three groups,

One will go to the Sea of Souls for the Water Potion. Two will go to Faun Spirit Village for the Land Stone. And three will got to Zodiac Mountain for the Air Key.

Ariana was assigned to go to the Sea of Souls, along with Allie, Kalaya, Reyna, and Kat.

Ariana was particularly excited about showing off her Mermaid Shifter abilities.

Her mentoring days with her two mentors, Akira and Midori, were in someway treacherous for Ariana.

Swimming, fan weapons, martial arts, acrobatics...

Not things for Ariana's league.

But the things that make her come back to practice was the stupid kids at Reality and the time she found a big groundhog Smoke while she was exploring with Lizzy.

But the one thing she absolutely liked about training was practicing her Aura's Gift, Sing-Song.

For as long as she can remember, singing had been her hobby ever since she was younger. So finding out that her singing can also be a weapon, was the best news she ever heard.

Ariana looked through many mentor's names as she gathered around the living room's coffee table with the others.

She remembered correctly that Kat also had rules for taking a mentor or two for the trip as well,

1) The person cannot be from the API Department.
2) The person must not have the loud mouth to bring this up to any of the API workers.
3) Adults, in general, are off limits.

Kat took the list from Ariana and took out a pen. Her eyes scanned through the list, scribbling and crossing out names. She even did a little bit of math.

When she was done, she set the paper down on the table for everyone to see. Everyone leaned over to see what she assigned.

For Ariana's group, it was Fiona, Evan, Dan, and Akira.

Yes! Her mentor made the cut!

Ariana whooped out of happiness and sank into the couch with a smile on her face.

There was probably a lot Kat accepted because there were only a few unhappy Realities.

Lizzy poked Kat's shoulder. "Hey Kat," she started to ask. "I asked for Yu and MC to come and you crossed it out... And put Rhosella and Jayden?"

Kat nodded. "Yeah, Yu told me a few hours ago that he was taking MC out on a date," she explained. "So since you're friends with Rhosella and Jayden, I thought why not?"

Lizzy sat there before nodding. "Sure! I'll deal!" she agreed. Kat sighed in relief.

"Okay, we should start getting ready," Kat said, standing up as she held her yellow and white colored steeled blade on one hand. "Feel free to go to the Artopian Mansion last minute. We'll leave at ten PM."

Everyone nodded and started to get their stuff together. Ariana followed up the stairs to her room. She glanced her phone to check the time.

Six thirty-nine. So much time left.
