The Deep by HiWhatDoIWrite

(This is the first real story I've ever written, but I've been writing it for 2 years. This is also the first book in a series of 6 which is why there is some stuff which might not make sense yet.) Harper lost everything the day her mother died, she only had her sister. So when they tried to escape their war torn country she prays it is the new start she had been hoping for. But after their boat crashes and an encounter with some dangerous magic she finds herself in a whole different world, as a mer-creature! She joined an elite group of humans-turned mer creatures called Shadow. Harper learns how to fight Mirage, a group who wishes to unleash monsters on the land and sea, and makes some amazing friends. But it seems there is more under the surface, and things definitely aren't smooth sailing when the gates are unlocked and the monsters are unleashed, because they started a war, and they have to protect the ocean.

Deep Sea by shayoung7

The sea "The sea... it's not just our home, it's our everything. It's where my family's secrets hide, where our history whispers through the currents. Every wave carries a story, every tide a lesson. I feel the sea's heartbeat, its pulse echoing mine. My family's legacy is woven into the sea's fabric. I feel proud to be a guardian of these secrets, a keeper of our mermaid traditions.(by meta) The sea is a cold, unforgiving abyss, A graveyard of lost souls, where darkness dismiss. Its waves crash against the shore, a mournful dirge, A reminder of the horrors that lurk beneath. In its depths, terrors lurk, unseen and unknown, Monsters that feast on fear, and souls overthrown.....(by draven) The sea.... my home It is my everything, it is a part of me I love the sea and the sea loves me Why? I hate the sea, the sea left me Am I not good enough It's gone The sea has a significant meaning to everyone for me it reminds me of home, how I feel safe in her hands, she's my home but then she left me with all the burdens, she is gone, never to be seen again, maybe in the Dreamland, but who I'm I kidding she kept visiting everyone in the dream except me What do you think of the sea?
