1750 caribbean colonies merfolk mermaids merman spanish violences

The year is 1743 and King Philip V of the Spanish Empire has enlisted Bernardo Rivera to vanquish all of the merfolk in the Caribbean to cleanse the world of Satan's children. Bernardo's daughter, Isadora, finds herself in a tricky situation after she and her mother are sacrificed to the merfolk for entrance into an isolated domain, but she is spared from death by a merman who harbors some unusual secrets of his own. Ten years pass and the situation doesn't improve. Mermaids and mermen are still devouring sailors and their ships whole; not to mention British invasions on Cuba, Isadora's homeland, have stirred up mentions of war in Europe as Spain, France, and England struggle for the New World's land, power, and wealth. Oh, did I mention the scaly love interest? Yeah, there's always one of those.All Rights Reserved

Last Voyages by TheBlondeAdventurer

YOU WILL BE UTTERLY LOST IF YOU TRY TO CONTINUE** It's been six years since Bella last saw Harry. Bella has her own life now, raising her child on her own for almost six years, but even then she has never forgotten the pirate that she loves. No one has seen The Belladonna since it cast off England's shore six years ago, although a new reputation is attached with the name: Death and agony. That was what was expected if anyone came across that dreaded ship. The Captain was ruthless and cruel, killing everyone he came across. They'd attack merchant ships, pirate ships, and cargo ships. Not even the children would make it out alive if they were caught by him. The seas became a very fearful and terrifying place for people to be, no matter who they were. It became a known fact that if you went out to sea, you may never return. Bella - knowing the new reputation - is in agony trying to figure out just what has happened to the loving man she knew and the kind crew mates on board. What had happened to them all? One fateful day, however, Bella's question is answered as she is taken in for ransom to gain favor in the cruel pirate's eyes. But favor was not what was given that day, and Bella soon finds out who Harry has become. And she's horrified by what she learns.

Oceanum Collis by Jay25211

"Let me prove to you I am unlike them." Thousands of years ago, there was a faraway land called Oceanum Collis. Many different people lived among each other in peace. Elves, mermaids, werewolves, and humans. After fighting hundreds of wars, the people came to a compromise and started to work together. Realms were united and civilization was born. Oceanum Collis was beautiful and peaceful, but with light comes darkness. The humans felt left out. While the others had magic and great strengths, they were nothing special. A young man, Basil Adelio, found that humans deserved more than to be farmers. But there was more to his plan. He was after the throne, so he could rule all over Oceanum Collis. Together, the magical creatures were able to stop him. The humans left the lands, leaving behind everything they had built. The alliance between the four people was broken. The elves and mermaids tried to rebuild their alliance, but without the werewolves it was impossible. And so the three different people parted, hardly talking to one another ever again. Now, one hundred years later, a new realm has been created. It was separated from the other realms by a large wall. A new leader has risen from the shadows. He believed that the outside world was filled with dangerous things. So, he made sure everyone stayed within the walls of the empire. And those who didn't were never heard of again. As others always looked away, a young man called Orlando, always glanced beyond the wall. One day, he's able to see what's behind the wall for himself instead of hearing stories. A new world lies ahead of him, but it might not be as beautiful as he had hoped. A/n: Hey guys! So this is an original story. Please, do not copy the story or use my characters without my permission. I've taken a long time to set this all up. Thank you! And love you all! -Jay25211💜💜
