Emerald cannot believe that she is now a mermaid and that she cannot go back to her parents anymore. She endlessly cried and as her tears mix with sea water, they would form into pearls of various colors, shapes, and sizes. It was an amazing sight to look at as the clear tears would change to salmon, violet-black, white, or yellow.
Poseidon spoke again while Emerald was crying, "Stop crying, my child. This is your home and you can play with all the fishes. No one will harm you."
She tried to control her sobs and simply said, " But I miss my ma and pa..."
Poseidon said, "Just say 'boomshikalaka' thrice to your sister fish and she will release a large bubble that will show the images of what your parents are doing."
Emerald looked for her sister fish and said "Boomshikalaka, boomshikalaka, boomshikalaka!" and the sister fish released a large bubble showing her parents crying and looking for her.
So she called Poseidon again and told him her predicament but he said, "One wish at a time, my dear. If you want to have your legs and feet back, there is a unique clam here in the sea that you can use, but you'll have to look for it and earn it. This is the only clam that has gold and green color with violet stripes. Or you can go back to your human form by true love's kiss, but he should not know that you're human."
