Note: Again, I do apologise if anyone seems out of character or the whole mermaid-human transforming spiel are inaccurate since I haven't watched Mermaid Tales in a while and only skimmed through prior to writing this.

Garroth's POV - Town Pub

It had been several months the "mermaid incident" as I dubbed it, during the whole ordeal I managed to lose the Heart of the Sea, the one thing that was sure to lure the fair maidens towards me.

But alas, my status as a pirate captain had also gotten rather tarnished as well due to the fact that we were involved in trafficking supernatural creatures, but of course when I explained my side of the story, nobody believed me. Why would they, I'm Garroth after all. 

I swallow the ale, the bitter taste scratching the back of my throat. "Hit me with another." I say. "No can do, Captain Garroth. I'm cutting you off." says Logan, the barkeep. "I'm barely tipsy though." I rebutted. 

"Sorry man, we both know you attempt to flirt with one of these wenches- I mean lasses after you've had your drink, and then it almost always ends up in a bar fight, I really don't want to deal with the property damage this time." He says, while wiping down a glass.

I groan and throw the gold coins on the table as payment, I step aside to leave the bar but a cute lady happens to walk in, she had gorgeous blue eyes, tan skin, and light blonde hair. I step towards her, fixing my looks and chewing on some mint to mask the scent of ale.

"My my, what's a fair lady like you doing around these parts, hmm?" I say, dropping my voice and using more of my accent. She giggles, "Not much Captain. But I see that was a good decision of mine." She flirts back. "May I ask, what's your name?" I ask.

"I'm Jenny." She giggles some more and leans towards my chest. She reeks of champagne, fancy lady huh?

Wait, is that a ring on her hand? I feel someone tap on my shoulder.

Laurance's POV - Mariana

My name is Laurance Zhval, I'm a merman guard who helps defend the kingdom, my patrol was sent to locate the witch and disarm her, then bring her to the King. My patrol split up, my sister Cadenza, Teony, and Dottie split off towards the reefs while Rylan, Fenrir and I went to check the caverns. 

Normally, we'd be asked to execute on sight but I assume the princesses, Aphmau and Katelyn have been rubbing off of him. Shame that they seem to have love interests of their own, a mermaid princess and a human together? If you asked me a while ago if that can happen, I would have laughed in your face. But now, arrangements are being made. Princess Katelyn were to be married to Prince Travis of the human world. So far, only rumors but I don't doubt it could be true.

What was I doing again? Oh yeah, witch hunt.

I held my lance against my side defensively, preparing myself to breach the base of the sorceress, who had been attacking the kingdom of Mariana with her mind-controlled slaves. I entered the cave, to find it empty. I feel something graze my tail and immediately snap around to attack, to see a sea bunny.
