WARNING: this was written when I was 11 years old, so most of the unedited chapters are a little bit cringy, but regardless i do hope you enjoy! ^^
Callie Hydale has always had something peculiar about her that separated her from normal folk. Her old townspeople would tell you it's because she was a freak, an anomaly, a strange being. But the ocean would tell you different. When Callie's wings spring free, when she escapes from the clutches of her abusive uncle and manipulative cousin, the possibilities she never dreamed of start. For instance, the shimmering tail that replaced her legs after she nearly drowned. As she's lured under the depths of the sea, she meets merfolk and mer-creatures, underwater kingdoms and schools for sea magic. Callie learns her true potential. Will Callie find her heart's greatest desires? Will she find friendship, rivalry, power, knowledge, happiness, and hate? What does the fates have in store for her? Will her friends find out her secret, her human form? But within the blue, placid sea, within Callie's new blissful paradise, a danger awaits, lurking in the shadows of the ocean. A threat, once thought gone, is rising once more. And Callie and her new friends are the new targets. What role do they play? Why are they, of all merfolk, being hunted? What secrets will be revealed to them, the truths and lies? Callie and her friends are going to find out, and they won't stop until it ends.

It was supposed to be a normal visit to her uncle's place. Everything was planned out to prevent anything from happening by her parents, but it didn't end that way in the end. After taking a dive in an underwater cave with her cousins, Lynae and Meredith, something changed within her. Ever since that day, Amelia, Lynae, and Meredith uncover more on their family's secret lineage resulting in them becoming something that they thought was not possible. Now showing their true scales, they adjust their lives into becoming more than just mermaids, but as the rightful rulers of the five water realms along with two mermen. They meet other merfolk along the way to help guide them into making each of their designated realm a better place for everyone. However, not everyone would agree with what the five rulers have in mind as for what is best.
The main concern would be set on the five after they discovered that they each inherited a special power from each sibling. But with those powers come with great distress. Fearing that history may repeat itself, the mer are keeping a close eye on Amelia since she is the reincarnate of the one whom was good at heart but became corrupt to the very end resulting in her transforming into a great beast that terrorized the underwater kingdom.
If you want to take a dive into an adventure that stretches around the world while witnessing the supernatural elements these mer face everyday, then you are in the right place. Come under and see why the merfolk are not just a fairytale, but a lost race that the humans have forgotten for over centuries.
