I hope that you enjoy the story!! PS, that was the only picture that I could find for Atem. I added the ocean behind him. Hope that it looks good.

Atem laid along the sands of the ocean floor. He watched the school of fish swim by. It almost looked like they were smiling. They were happy. He wasn't. He flopped over to his stomach and groaned. Yami raised an eyebrow and swam over to his brother. "Atem, father needs you to pick a bride, and soon." He said. Atem looked up towards his brother and slammed his face into the sand. "That's the thing little brother. There are NO mermaids that I want to marry. None of them match what I want in a wife." He growled out. He pushed himself off the ocean floor and began swimming home.

As Atem was swimming, the sound of a female singing caught his attention. Her voice sounded like an angel. His tail began swimming towards the voice as if in a trance. He couldn't get himself to swim away from the voice. Her voice was just so smooth. So delicate. So.....beautiful. He had to hear more. Just had too. His tail began moving faster. His heart began racing as her voice began to grow louder. More vibrant. 'She's the one.' He thought. He carefully broke the surface of the water and looked around.

Red eyes scanned the rocky cliffs that surrounded the lagoon. He could hear the music that belonged the song, and, the beautiful voice the sung with the music. She wasn't like other mermaids. She sang with the music. Harmonized with it. She didn't try to beat the music. She stayed with the sounds. Her voice didn't crack, or become quiet. It was strong, passionate. It filled his entire being with love. He wanted her. He wanted to get to know her. Hear her sing, just for him.

Are you going to Scarborough fair

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one who lives there

He once was a true love of mine

He closed his eyes and listened. Listened to the music, her voice, the humming that surrounded the parts she didn't sing. He wanted to meet her. He desperately wanted to meet her, yet, he knew that he couldn't. He knew that it was forbidden to meet humans. His father and mother had warned him of the dangers that surrounded humans. How they were bloodthirsty creatures. He couldn't understand why they were thought of this way. She clearly destroyed the story his father had told him. He really had fallen for a human girl. He wanted to meet her. He had to meet her. There was only one person that could make that wish come true. Akifa. The sea wizard.

Tell him to make me a cambric shirt

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Without no seams nor needlework

Then he'll be a true love of mine

As he swam towards the wizard, her voice continued to swim in his mind. The song that she sang, made him smile. It brought him joy. His tail continued to push him forwards. Only when it stopped, he stared a the tangled home of the sea wizard. He took a deep breath before swimming forward.

He wasn't sure if he was going to be able to go through with this. This mangled mess made him more scared than he ever believed it could. He looked around as she slowly swam forwards. "Welcome young prince, what do I owe the pleasure of seeing you here?" A sinister like voice echoed out. Atem jumped at the sudden call.

Tell him to find me an acre of land

Parsley sage rosemary and thyme

Between the salt water and the sea strand

Then he'll be a true love of mine

Are you going to Scarborough fair

He looked around but, he couldn't see anyone. "Right here man." The same voice echoed out. Akifa was right in front of him. His tail swishing side to side as he crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the male before him. "What can I help you with?" He asked bored. "Well, I was hoping that you can change me to a human." Atem said. Akifa did a double take and looked at him.
