Now it was just us cause my brother finally went home. "Ok Ciel would you like to show them the room?" "Yes mom. I will. Follow me. We will be sharing a room." The boys walked in and said wow! This place looks like the ocean!" "Haha yeah. Us boys were raised by are dad and gramps. Since we are boys were had to spend our 1rst couple of years in the water. Girls have to grow into their fins." "Oh I see." Said Kawaki. "Kawaki? What part do you want? Your brother here has to have the bottom since he is still pretty young." "OK then I will have the middle." Said Kawaki. "Ok then. I will have the top." Said Ciel. Ciel showed them where the stuff would go in the closet and drawers. "Ok there you go. Its almost time for bed anyway. Even on a weekend. Lets go out and say goodnight."
"Oh hello boys. Did you find out who is going to stay on what part of the bed?" "Yeah mom I sorted it out." "Ok good." "Excuse me?" "Yes Kawaki what is it?" "What would you like us to call you?" "Oh I'm sorry we forgot to tell you. You can call us mom and dad or you can call us Zee and Nova until you feel comfortable." "Thank you, mom and dad." Said Kawaki. "I never had any parents you're the first ones I have had probably because I was always in a corner by myself. Also because of the way my brother talks. No one wanted him." "Well we can work on that too." Said Nova. "Thanks dad." "Your welcome Kawaki. Now go to bed boys don't stay up too late even if it is Sunday." "Girls how are you doing?" "Fine dad. Were in bed now." "Ok night girls see you in the morning." Night mom and dad. Then they left and went to their room.
"Now we can Have some fun Zee. Remember to stay quiet. Ok?" "You know you have to keep kissing me for that." "Haha yeah I know." They starting kissing then it went deeper and deeper then they had one passionate night.
The following day. I got a call from my dad saying the boys have the week off. Which is good because now finally the boys can go swimming together. I had to go with them of course to watch over them. "Ok honey I will see you later we are leaving now! Oh and I plan on taking them to see Kalani. They will have to miss school I talked to dad about it he will make some excuse." "Ok that's fine. I've got the girls." "Ok bye honey." I gave him a kiss on the lips and we left. Ok you two lets get in the car. This drivers name is Kiran. He is a good friend of mine. We call him uncle Kiran." "Hello. My name is Kawaki. This is my brother Kaiko." "Nice to meet you all. Are you ready?" "Yeah!" the boys said in unison. Ciel came as well. "Ok let's go uncle Kiran." I said. "haha Ok here we go." Then we were off.
"By the way Kiran how is Gill these days?" "Oh he is good. I can't believe he is already 14: Crazy huh?" "Yeah time flies huh?" "Yep. Oh and our daughter Belle is getting so big. She is already 4 years old now." "Oh really?" "Yeah." Then we finally got there.
"Ok kids. Lets wait a moment please. Before jumping in. My sons from college want to join as well." Their names are Kei and Zale. Kai is the one with white hair and Zale the Red. Yes they are twins." Finally the people we were waiting for showed up. "Hey mom." Said Kei. Then he hugged me. "Good to see you back in the ocean." "Yeah I feel better when I am." "Hello Ocean." "Hi mom." Then he hugged me too. "Boys let me introduce you to these two. This I Kawaki and Kaiko. "Oh a human serpent cool." Said River. "Haha thanks." "Woah Kawaki. Your kind is rare. I can't remember what they call you. They don't have books anymore on it. Kalani might know." Said River. "Yes we are going there now with my little brothers as well. Dad and grandpa will make an excuse for school don't worry." Well we are off for awhile too. Mind if we join you mom?" "Sure the more the merrier. Right Kawaki?" "Yeah sure." Then we headed toward where Kalani lived.
I was fighting to stay awake since its been awhile. "Hey mom you ok?" said Kei. "Yeah I'm fine. Just a little tired. Were are almost there." Kei and ocean helped their mom over. Then they finally made it. "Mom we are here now?" "We are? Ok then." Ocean knocked on the door." (Knock Knock) "Who is it?" "Uncle Kalani its Ocean and River we need to talk to you." "Come on in all of you." Then everyone went in and Kalani looked up. "You don't look so good Zee." "I'm just tired." "I don't think that's all it is. Rest here for bit. I'll wake you up later." "Ok thanks sorry for all of this I know you are busy researching." "Its all good. Now rest." I closed my eyes and rested. "Ok I have a feeling I know why you all are here. Its about this webbed hand a foot guy right?" "Yes sir." Said River. "Ah a human serpent huh? Haven't seen one of you in awhile." "He is my half brother sir." "Oh is he now? Call me Kal by the way." "Ok Kal." "Come here let me look at you." Kawaki went over and looked Kawaki over.
He looked at his hands feet and face. "I see. Even your face looks just like them huh? Well you are not full formed but almost. And at a young age too." "What are they sir?" said Ocean curiously. "Well the are called Fey. He is not fully formed but will be by the time he is 7 or when he is 7 considering on how fast he changed. Normally Fey turn when they are about 10 years old to start. Then they finish changing about 17 or 18 years old. That really doesn't mean anything. He will live about the same time as he would if he changed at the right time. The reason there is no books on them is because they are becoming extinct. We don't know what is causing it." The Zee came by after she woke up. "Kal. I heard you call him a Fey right?" "Oh Zee your awake. You look much better." "thanks I feel better too." "Yes he is an almost developed Fey." "So that is what he said back then." "What are you talking about Zee?" said Kal. "Well I remember one time I was swimming around when I just turned into a mermaid and had to stay under for a year I met a man who looked almost exactly like Kawaki. His name was Urian. I wonder what happened to him." "Well anyways. Now you know what you are. My family are researchers. Our families research rare extinct creatures to living ones now. There is always one of us doing that while we search other thinks as well." "I see." "Kal can I talk to you for a minute alone?" "Yes zee of course. River can you and your brother watch them for a few minutes?" "Yeah sure mom." "Thanks kiddo." Then I left with Kal.
"Its about the Fey you called them. Urian said that they had a gathering. I had a dream about them when I was sleeping. I wonder if they still do. Maybe if I go to where I saw in my dream I can find out what is causing them to die out and help them." "Hmm. OK but you have to get the kids home first. Maybe you can have your older sons make sure everyone gets home ok. You should bring Kawaki with you since he is one of them." "Actually I haven't told mom and dad about this but I had an uncle I talked to. He said I had something with webbed feet and hands in my blood. He was one as well." "I see then more reason to go just you both." "Well Kal. I will come back and let you know what I find out ok?" "Yes please." I patted his back and I went back to the others.
"OK. Kei and Zale. Are you in a rush to get back?" "No why mom? Is everything ok?" "Yes its fine. I need to take Kawaki somewhere. Can you take Kaiko and the others back home? I'm sure my brothers can make it back to the palace." "Yeah sure mom." "Oh and little brothers. Don't tell dad about any of this ok?" "Ok sister. You boys either ok? Any of you." "Yes mom." Then they left and It was just me Kal and Kawaki. "Well Kal. We are going to head out." "Ok then. Stop by here on the way back ok?" "Yes Kal." Then we swam off.
"OK lets see if I remember this correctly. Urian told me there was a gathering near where a lot of caves are." "I know where that is. Mom. I read about that place In a book. I always carry it with me. Hold on a minute." He took out the book out and and it had a lot of protective stuff on it so it doesn't get ruined. "That book! Kawaki where did you get that book?" "I've had it since I was brought here. Why?" "Urian had that book too. You must be related to him or he was a friend of your parents. I have a feeling he left that book for that reason. To find what is left of your kind." "Yes lets go."
I looked at the book and followed the map. 12 hours later we found our destination. "Ok let me see the book Kawaki." "Ok mom." "It says near the caves not in them. We got closer to the caves then someone stopped us. "Woah there you two." Said a man. "Oh hello. This is my son Kawaki. We were looking for the Fey." "Well you have found us. What do you want?" "We mean no harm. I have Fey blood too." "Come on in. If you really have Fey blood you can pass the barrier." "Ok thank you sir." Then another man guided us to where the barrier is.
"Ok here is the barrier. Come on in." We looked at each other and nodded. Then surprisingly we both got through. "My uncle was right. I do have Fey blood." "Ladies and gentleman we have company. I will have them come up and talk in the microphone." "Thank you sir." "Hello everyone. My name is Zee. Yes many of you know my father the king of merpeople. I am here on account of my son. Right now I am at a trial to adopt him. He wanted to know about his own kind. He is 6 years old I also have Fey blood. My uncles name is Zelton." Then someone came out and said, "So you are Zelton's niece." A woman said. "Yes I am." "Well hell. Nice to meet you." "Likewise. This is Kawaki. Everyone. I would also like to stay and learn a lot but I am afraid I can only stay 1 week if possible. I hope you accept us." Before we can step down. "Zee is that you?" "Huh? Who is that?" Then the man got closer. Urian? Is that really you?" "Yeah its me." I swam fast over to him and gave him a hug. He twirled me around. "Wow I thought I would never see you again." "Yeah likewise. Come on Kawaki. Its ok. Give me the book Kawaki." "Yes mom." "Were you the one who gave him this book and dropped him off at the orphanage?" "Yes Yes I was. Kawaki I am sorry to leave you there." "Your not my father are you?" "No No I'm not I am your brother. Mom and dad died I protected you. I thought it was best to keep you away. Even if you were the only one left at least our species wouldn't die out." "What is causing this Urian?" "Ah so you've met the guard huh?" "Yes I have." "Well buddy can be a bit grumpy. Sorry about that." "Its all good. So what are in those caves? Are they what are killing you off?" "Yes they are." "I have an idea. I can talk to the creatures. I have the ability to talk to all creatures not just sea creatures." "Really Mom? SO cool." "I know right." "Do you mind if I try?" "That would be up to the elder." "OK thank you. Kawaki. If anything happens I want you to stay with your brother ok? Or have your brother take you up to dad and you both can stay." "Be careful mom." "I will Kawaki." So I swam to meet the elder.
"Excuse me elder." "Oh Zee good to see you. I heard what you wanted to do. You can really talk to the creatures?" "Do you know what kind they are?" "We really don't know. They don't like to be seen." "Oh I know what they are then. I can speak fluently in their language. Do you mind if I try? I can find out what they want and you won't have to hide anymore." "If you can that would be great. Just be careful." "Yes thank you." I went towards the caves and called out to them in their language. "Hello? Can I speak to the one in charge please?" I saw a creature that looked similar to what I did when I lost control. "Wait a second you are?" "You must be the famous Zee we have been hearing about. The one who can talk to any creature right? You also turn into us when you loose control." "Yes I was born with it. Can I ask why you are killing off Fey?" "Wait a second. You really don't know?" "Don't know what?" "Most of us used to be Fey before we turned into this." "What does that have to do with all Fey?" "hmm it seems like you really don't know. Hang on. Let me get something for a minute. Ah here it is." Here go to page 67." I looked at the page and I was shocked. "No way! Wait a second but isn't that why originally the Fey lived in that part of the ocean just for that reason? Then how did you turn this way?" "Well it was it was Your great grandfather Oron. That brought us out." "Why don't you go back?" "We don't know where it is. That is why we are keeping them here. Our forms now are going on instinct and kill them off." "Wait a second. I might know." I took the book out and looked at he picture. "Ah here it is. Now way are you serious? I know where It is? Can you all control yourselves on land?" "Yeah you are the only one can turn on land." "Can you turn back long enough to get back there?" "We can try." "Ok first I need to rest. I will do it with the Fey." "I will tell them the plan."
I told the others what is going on and what the plan is. "Actually I have an even better plan." I said. Maybe I can let them go first to the land I tell them too and wait for us." "I'll be right back." I swam back out. "Hello! Its Zee again. I have an idea." The boss came out again. "Oh Zee what is it now?" I was thinking maybe you all can go up first I will tell you where to go. Its about a few days from here." I told them where to go and they knew where it was. "Wait there for me. the others are going to wait a day after you leave so we will only be a day away from you all ok?" "Good plan. We will leave tonight. Thank you Zee." "No problem." So I waited for them and saw them all off. Then I went back to the others to tell them the news.
"Ok I will sir." I went back up to the microphone and said, "Ladies and gentleman. Your wish is granted. Those creatures are gone. As all the elderly know those creatures are Fey as well. I had them go ahead one day. We will leave tomorrow night as well. That way I can save you all. Back to where you originally were from. I'm sorry my great grandfather made you guys leave. Now as I am one of you I want to help you be safe and not turn anymore. I'm going to help all of you." Everyone cheered. They started packing only the provisions they needed.
The next night we were on our way. It took forever but we managed to make it. "Ok the others should be waiting." I said All of the Fey came on land and turned human. I saw a bunch of people cluttered in one group. This must be them. "Are you those creatures?" "Yes we are who you are looking for. My goodness your just as beautiful human as well." "Thank you but I am already married." "OK now I have someone to call and then we can head out." I called Ace and told him what I was doing. He wanted to come with me to at least watch above water. "Ok sure. Keep the kids away though they can watch don't let them fall in ok?" "Haha I know."
"OK lets go." So the group followed me and we managed to make it to the gate. "Long time no see Azar and Bane." "Yeah it has been. Your brother is expecting you all. Congrats on coming back home. We have missed you all." We all went in and met my brother first then headed to the ocean which is different. It stays in one place but it is wide enough for thousands of Fey. "Wow its so pretty." "Well are you all ready? I will go first and I will let you know ok?" I dove down to be safe and checked it out. I came back up. "Everything checks out." "Wow mom you are glowing!" "Am I? Woah what's happening?" "My body lifted up in the light then brought me down. Everything was black for a few minutes. I heard people calling my name. "Zee! Zee! Are you ok!" said Ace. "Hmm. Brother? What happened?" Then I saw everyone looking at me. "What is it?" Then I looked at my body and it turned smoother than it was before. "Huh what happened?" The elder came over.
"You really are one of us. That skin proves it. You have the golden type of skin that is why its so soft. It will turn back to normal soon enough. It just shows that you are royalty in merfolk and Fey." Then they all bowed. "Oh please don't. I am to old now. I can't rule anything. I am going to give my son a choice though. Kawaki. Do you want to stay with us? Or do you want to join the others where you belong?" "Um mom. I have an idea. Do you mind if I stay with them until my time is up? Come get me when you leave to get the adoption papers?" "Your little brother will miss you." "He will be fine. He has Ciel and the girls." "I will miss you too." I gave him a hug and watched them all jump in along with Kawaki. "I'll be right back Ace." I jumped in too to join them. I wanted to say goodbye.
"Mom! What are you doing here?" "Woah you're a red color. Pretty." Then I looked at everyone else they were all different colors. I looked at myself. I really was gold. My hands were webbed and my face chances as well. My fin stayed the same. They all stayed in a group after they saw me. "Can Every body hear me!" They all said yes. "OK First I would like to say wow! I never knew we turned any color. Second of all I wanted to say goodbye. I will see you all again. Though I don't know when. I am so glad you all are free again. I will miss you all!" Then the elder and Urian came over. "Thank you Zee. For everything." "Oh elder your welcome. I am glad you all can be free after all these years. I hope you go and explore. Now Urian don't let him go far I will have to come back to get him eventually ok?" "Yes Zee." "OK well I have to leave now." "Wait Zee! Phew I caught you before I left." "Excuse me but who are you?" I am your grandpa. Your birth grandpa. I was the reason you turned out like this. Your father already knows what he is that's why he does his best to control his anger. I'm sorry my father did all of this. He is long gone now." "Its ok. It was in the past. I have something to say. Is it ok if father comes to visit sometime?" You have two grandsons river and ocean. River is the oldest with white hair and Ocean has red. "I will be looking forward to it." Before I left a little girl came over. She was a pink color. "Hello sweetie. What is it?" "I made this for you. It's a bracelet. In the water it changes color to the people around you if its just you it changes your color. On land its just a mood gem." "Oh I see thank you." "No thank you." I bent down to hug the little girl and said goodbye to all and came back up.
"Ok Ace I will call my husband on your phone and let him know I will be staying here for the night and see him in another day." "Ok sure." I called Nova and told him I would be home soon." "OK see you later honey."
Then finally I got home greeted my family. A couple months later I officially adopted the kids and I let him visit any time he wanted too. Urian stayed behind. Then we just had one happy family. Oh and the baby my brother had was a girl. We are living happily ever after.
The End.
