Mermaids: Tales of Arcadia

The next day Pearl and Lilly arrive at the beach In the morning

Lilly: (yawns) why are here this early in the morning

Pearl: 'cause it would be a little strange if people saw a Mermaid so we came here to avoid the people. Aunt Crystal, I'm here!

Crystal: we really need to work on that siren call but first we need to go home

Pearl: home? But you said that my mom would be furious if she found out that you came to me

Crystal: not your land home, your Birth home, let's go

Pearl gets in the ocean and turns into a Mermaid

Lilly: hey what about me?!

Crystal: oh right, let's see...

Crystal gives Lilly a potion

Crystal: drink it and you'll be able to bring underwater

Lilly: here goes nothing

Lilly drinks the potion

Lilly: hmmm, pretty good

Crystal: all right, now let's go

They all swim until they reach an underwater cave

Crystal: through here is your birth home, Pearl

Pearl swims into the cave and sees a huge Underwater city

Lilly and Pearl: Whoa! What is this place?!

Crystal: this is the city of the Merpeople, this is Lyrathis!

Lilly: Lyrathis? Cool!

Pearl: so this is where I was born?

Crystal: yes, before you and your mother left

Pearl: seems like paradise to live here

Crystal: it was but since The Vortex Queen escaped she's been sending monsters here and most merpeople lose their lives trying to save the city

Pearl: that's awful! how can I stop her?!

Crystal: first we must meet the Queen

Pearl: The Vortex Queen?!

Crystal: no, the Queen of Lyrathis

Pearl: Oh, that makes more sense. Wait, there's a Queen?!

Crystal: yes and I think she'll be very excited to meet you

Pearl: why's that?

Crystal: you'll see

They all enter the palace before the Throne room

Lilly and Pearl: whoa! It's so big!

Lilly: so where's the Queen?

Azura: here I am

The Queen appears from the behind Lilly

Lilly: (screams) how did you get there?!

Azura: Mermaids can turn invisible, how else do you think that humans have never find us?

Lilly: okay, make sense but Who are you?

Azura: I am Azura, Queen of the Mermaids. now, Crystal, why have you brought a human and an unfamiliar mermaid into the palace?

Crystal: well the Human is the Mermaid's friend and the Mermaid is your granddaughter, Princess Pearl

Pearl: WAIT, I'M A PRINCESS?!

Crystal: yeah, I didn't tell you that?

Pearl: NO!

Crystal: oh... then suprise

Azura: is it true? Are you My granddaughter?

Pearl: apparently

Azura: then leave! You and your mother are not welcome here!

Pearl: what? Why?

Azura: your mother left us when we needed her most and I will never forget that!

Pearl: can you please tell me what happened exactly?

Azura:... 17 years ago Marina was an amazing warrior and next In line to rule the throne then she met a man named Merrick. They feel In love and had a child named Pearl, all was good In the Kingdom until The Vortex Queen attacked and wanted to take the throne but your father stopped her at the cost of his life, after that your mother was so Sad that she ran away from her destiny as the Queen and lived a normal life on the Surface world

Pearl:..I never new...

Azura: now that I've answered your question, leave this Kingdom, and never return

Crystal: but mother, she can help us

Azura: how?

Crystal: I can train her to become a great warrior and defeat The Vortex Queen

Azura: she's a child and the child of a coward no less, I do not see how she can help us!

Pearl: don't call my mother a coward

Azura: I will call your mother whatever I want, because she is a no good, cowardly, idiotic, sorry excuse for a Princess

Pearl: no one.... Says that... About... my Mother!

Pearl's necklace glows then a spear made of ice emerges from her hand

Crystal: amazing, she's unlocked the Ice weapon ability!

Pearl charges at Azura ready to attack her but Azura blocks her spear with a sword

Azura: (scoffs) it figures, you're just as hot-headed as your mother

Pearl: don't you dare talk about her that was!

With enough anger and strength, Pearl is able to break the sword

Azura: (shocked) you broke a sword made of steel with ice?

Pearl: next, I'm gonna break your bones

Pearl tries to attack Azura but she turns invisible

Pearl: looks who's the coward now!

Azura, angered by what Pearl said charges at her but Pearl here's her and freezes her solid

Azura: let go of me!

Pearl: Nah, I think I'm just gonna keep you here for a while

Azura: okay, you've proven that you are a strong and capable young warrior so I will allow you to stay and train here

Pearl: thanks

Azura: now let me go

Pearl: first apologize for what you said about my mother

Azura: fine, I'm sorry

Pearl breaks the ice before Azura leaves the Throne room

Crystal: Pearl, you've unlocked a new ability of your necklace but they're a lot more left for you to naster

Pearl: you think that you can teach me to be invisible? That looks so cool!

Crystal: In do time, but first we'll start with the basics. Look over there In the courtyard that is where we'll be training

Pearl: cool

Meanwhile at The Vortex Queen's lair as she looks through her Crystal ball

Vortex Queen: so Pearl was able to defeat My mother with the necklace? (Laughs) Another reason why I need it and I have a new monster in mind to take it

The Vortex Queen grabs an electric eel and turns it into a monster

Vortex Queen: now go my creature and get that necklace for me
