sel·kie
/ˈselkē/
noun SCOTTISH
a mythical creature that resembles a seal in the water but assumes human form on land.
___________
Valdimar O'Sullivan is your average, modern man. Well... as average as you CAN be when you're considered a myth.
That's right folks, Valdimar is a Selkie. Assumably, one of the last of his kind.
On one tiring day, Valdimar was walking down to the beach as usual from a long night shift at work. Nothing was out of the unusual, until an odd looking shell washed up on the sand.
Intrigued, Valdimar collected it. He looked it over, finding that it was an instrument of sorts. With caution, he played the only song he knew... after that, he was swallowed by the ground. Not a trace to be seen.
What is going to happen to dear Valdimar O'Sullivan now?

Moira knows there has to be a reason why she was forced to leave Ireland after her father's drowning, and the secrets her mother keeps aren't calming her curiosity and desire to learn the truth. Her only link to the past is her best friend, Cillian, and even he has grown quiet as Moira's eighteenth birthday approaches. But when Cillian finally agrees to take her back to Ireland, and Moira sees the fierce waves and the seals that watch her from the rocks, the stories hidden from her suddenly begin to make sense. Her family has been feuding with the selkies, the seal people that surround the village, for years, causing the numerous drownings that lead her mother to fear the water so much.

Heart of the Sea
Once, people believed that there exists something of a rare ability. Something of the impossible. Only the royalties of Clautius have actually seen it. No person of an inferior position than them had the privilege of gazing upon the said miracle. But for decades, the said miracle has gone missing. And whoever finds it would have honor never before bestowed on anyone. But none have yet to succeed. It cannot stand the heat of the sun. For it was one with the water. It can command any form of water, may it be the pond, the river and most especially the sea, to heal anyone who holds it if the need arises. And in isolation, it was kept. In cold, it survived. And in heat, it shattered. It was known as the 'heart of the sea'.Complete
