Chapter 49

King Triton's celebration

Sachiko skipped on the dock because this was her first real mission. She had gone on small tasks given by the towns folk, but never on a big mission.

"Oh, my. My very first mission. I wonder, where am I?" She took out her deck of cards to make sure she had them all, then pulled out a map. "Oh, I see. I'm in the world of Ariel, King Triton's youngest daughter. This is also the home of the sea witch, Ursula." She took out a card that had a silhouette of a mermaid. She walked into the water and held the card high. the card flashed bright and so did she. When the flash stopped, Sachiko turned into a mermaid. Her hair changed from a light purple to a aqua blue. her tail and shells were a dark purple. "There that's better. Now to find Atlantis. she swam under water and followed a school of fish and found the palace.

A fanfair of trumpets went of that were actually seahorse. A small seahorse spoke out above everyone.

"His royal highness, King Triton." A fanfair of trumpets went off again when King Triton appeared from an opening in the wall. He rode a clamshell being driven by three dolphins. The small seahorse spoke again. "And presenting the distinguished court composer, Horatio Felonious Ignacious Crustaceous Sabastian!" SAbastion came out on a small hermit crab shell driven by two godlfish. A small fanfair was played by the small seshorse and sounded like a kazoo.The orchestra began to tune themselves as sabastion approched his music stand. The concert began with a happy little tune and six mermaids began to sing.

"Ah, we are the daughters of Triton. Great father who loves us and named us well. Aquata, Adrina, Arista, Attina, Adella, Alana. And then theres the youngest in her musical debut. Our seventh little sister, we're presenting her to you. To sing a song sabastion wrote, her voice is like a bell. She's our sister, Arie..." Everyone in the room gasped because ariel was not there. Sachiko just laughed to herself as she was leaving.

"Haha, mermaid not here. Beter go find her." She was just leaving when she heard King Triton yell.

"Ariel!"

Chapter 50

meeting Ariel

Sachiko swam as fast as she could to find her. She saw Ariel swimming twords her and decided to follow her. They later met after Ariel got scoled at by King Triton.

"Oh, hello. I'm Ariel. What's your name?"

"I'm Sachiko." she laughed as if her named amused her. "I over heard you like to collect human things like me. Is that true?"

"Yes, it is. i've never met another collector of human things."

"Well I have this locket i keep with me that has the most handsome man." she held her lockwet in her hand and opened it. the man she described was Takeo.

"Wow! I've never seen anything like this, but are you sure it's called a locket. Scuttle says those are called hoodoos?"

"I don't know. It just felt natural calling it a locket."

"Well, would you like to see my collection?"

"I would love to!" Sachiko swam following Ariel to her grotto. She felt like something was watching them, but she let that pass her. Even though she kept seeing two yellow lights flashing behind her.
