Moon: "Urgg...ahh..."

Moon was laying on the ground when she woke up. She got up into a sitting position and placed her hand on her head, groaning as her pain slowly subsided.

Moon: "My head...I must have..."

She looked around.

Moon: "Wait."

The sights of blue waters surrounded her vision and her eyes widened.

Moon: "I'm underwater! But, wasn't I in the castle...?"

Moon swam up and her mermaid tail was on her once again.

She recalled being challenged in a duel with Aiden but then all of a sudden, she was knocked out of her senses!

Moon shouted for Aiden, hoping he was still with her.

Moon: "Aiden?! Wait...No...he can't be here.."

Aiden could not possibly be underwater like her. So instead of Aiden, the desperate princess shouted for another.

Moon: "Orion?! Are you here? What happening?!"

She swam on her own and called out his name again and again. However, to no avail, the Merman was nowhere to be seen.

Moon stopped and gave up.

The feeling of uneasiness arises in her heart.

<Background story...>


At young age, Moon was forced to participate in royal training lessons. Everyday, she would be so sick and tired of being told what to do. She knew people with high statuses (ministers, lords and so on) expect the only daughter of the royal majesties to be fit for the throne. Soon enough, she will never know when the crown will fall on her head.

Yes, Moon is grateful for having such loving parents that she could look out to, and kind castle staff in her life. But she just can't put down the loneliness and how trapped she felt. It was like a heavy burden weighing on her shoulders...

That was what Moon was feeling at this very moment...

Moon: What's going on right now?

Just as she said that, a beautiful music started playing from a distance.

Moon: "What? A sound?"

Curious, Moon quickly followed the sound of the melody like a man being drawn by a singing siren.

The music was getting louder and louder and soon...

Moon: "Oh..."

...The answer was just right in front of her.


The answer was just right in front of her
