Because when you think about it, he's really just kind of useless.

Undersea
This is a story about an under water city called Undersea. It is not a particularly magical place this city, in the way we might expect an under water city to be (with mermaids, talking fish, and so forth) but is instead an everyday sort of place that we might be used to. Except that it is under water. In this story we meet an everyday sort of girl named Sarah, watch her grow, and witness the choices she must make. For in reality this is a story about how certain thoughts and ideas will come to certain conclusions, horrendous as they might be in the end. But here we are getting quite ahead of ourselves. All in good time my friends! Dedications: To Berdella and Maxine (my grandmothers) now passed, and for three yet to be born. Also to Mr. Asimov.Complete
The Aquarian
Dated 500 years in the future, the humans world has collapsed under the weight of climate change, causing Tsamis and droughts that have wiped out huge chunks of the population. They are no longer the dominant species on earth, even if only one human knows this. Aquarians, a mermaid species, are now the largest intelligent species on earth, and they have decided to never even come into contact with humans long ago, when the humans betrayed them. But now, their species is also being affected by the pollution, and the Aquarians realize some of the researchers (who can only be male) must go search for the serum the humans created and abandoned in a coral reef, long ago. Thats where Marina, the reserved and kind Aquarian, has been chosen to help, even if shes not a researcher, not male, nor the proper age, her destiny to save the endangered species is granted. Join Marina as she uncovers her true path in saving Aquarians, and the path of the two distant worlds of humans and mermaids.Complete
Choices Affect Everyone COMPLETE
Tension between mermaids and humans had always been high, especially after the queen of the mermaids had been killed by humans, regardless that it was an accident. So many years later when Princess Muriel becomes curious about humans, she keeps it to herself. Muriel lives in a castle with her father, sisters, and best friend, Percy. Some of her sisters blame her for their mother's death so Muriel avoids them when at all possible. She gains an interest in humans and trails after their ships. For humans, mermaids are bad luck so she knows that they won't attempt to harm her. The first time Prince Philip steps foot on a fishing boat he witnesses the crew catch a mermaid. Although terrified, he moves forward to help untangle her as no one else is moving. He prays that she'll forgive him. Worry forms when she takes a lock of his hair. Was that a way of marking him? Regardless, he doesn't fight, not wanting to make it worse. Worry increases when she's spotted again. Muriel begins to develop a crush on Prince Philip after he frees her from the net. When her sister's displeasure with her grows worse, Muriel seeks to avoid it. In a desperate attempt to do so she finds herself cave of the sea witch Minerva. Philip's kindness remains prominent in her mind when Minerva offers her a choice to be a human. Hesitantly she agrees, unaware of how different the human world from hers. Philip's bodyguard begins to catch on that Muriel is different and Percy and the king quickly become desperate to find her. My own version of "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen.

The Mako Calling - An H20 Inspired Story
Set in the same universe as H20: Just Add Water (events of Mako Mermaids did not happen), 4 highschoolers are doing a Biology Project on Mako Island. Not to keen of each other but still wanting to get the work done, they discover a cave with an oh so familiar Moonpool. As magic strikes, suddenly their lives take a 180° Turn. Their normal lives as they knew them? As gone as a dead fish in a stream. Will a shared secret bring these 4 together? Or will huge waves crash between them because of it? Note: I occasionally decide to re-edit older chapters a bit (mostly only little changes) so idk if it shows for readers, but if the release dates are all over the place this is why. And yes I try to avoid it as much as possible, but I can't help myself lmao![Caught In The Tide [DEXER]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/374849436-256-k385489.jpg)
