The shiny sun was what I initially saw right after opening my eyes and Zaire was the first thing I thought about. My final memory of last night is the build-up of the heavy storm, what happened after that, I don't know. I just hope that Zaire is alright. I'm also disturbed by the thought of not seeing Zaire again. I'm on a knoll that is encircled by water.
I stood up and looked around. Water, Trees, and grass were what I could see. Nothing abnormal. Another thing that I realized and which was also shocking is that I don't have a single wound on my body. The is no blood, nor pain. I do feel fresh as if l have just taken a bath. I would say, I was dreaming the entire time but the flood does confirm that there was rain last night, and I do recall a storm.
I took a stroll, looking for Zaire. Oh God, only a glimpse of him, then my heart will be harmonious. As I'm searching for Zaire, I hear someone singing. What a melodies voice, she has. I turned and headed in the direction of that melodic voice.
"Wow" Eventually, I saw who is singing so beautifully, a mermaid. She sitting on a rock. She has long thin locs with autumn brown skin. I can only see half of his tail, the rest is inside the lake. I wasn't able to see her face as I was gazing at her from a distance and facing her left side. In my view she is beautiful. This day may turn to be a lucky day or a dreadful day. Let me just be positive and say my lucky day.
****[A Mermaid legend]
As mentioned before, the folks of the Kingdom of Amari believe in many legends. One of the legends is about mermaids and merman. Believed to be the most powerful beings on Earth and with their ability to control rain, they often called them Guardians of water.
Mermaids are rarely seen, and in Amari, it's believed that most spiritually gifted people can see mermaids. Also believed that some healers get power to heal people from Guardians of water, as it said that mermaids have certain powers. Though it is known that spiritual people are the ones that commonly see mermaids, it is possible that a commoner can see a mermaid. It is unlikely, but very possible and it is considered luck. Luck, yet also it is dangerous.
Mermaids are said to be creatures that don't like to be disturbed and creatures that have tremendous power. So if they are disturbed by a common human, they may get irritated, and only the Gods know what will happen to that person. But if somehow a mermaid likes you even though you're a common human who disturbed her then you are lucky. You can seek as many wishes you want, and they will be granted. What a will a mermaid wants in return, remains a mystery for the people of Amari.
Mr.Makena is one of the people that is believed to have seen a mermaid. It said he was just a lad and a hunter when he saw a mermaid. He was not scared and the mermaid loved that about him. From that day, he became the mermaid's messager. Miracles happened and his life changed from that day. His first wish was to be the best hunter and his wish was granted. He then asked to be the best healer and his wish was also granted. After some time he asked to be one of the wealthiest men in Amari and the mermaid granted his wish. From being born by a poor father to be one of the respected and powerful men in the Kingdom of Amari. These are just rumors that people spread. What transpired was only God, Mr.Makena, and that mermaid, that is as if he did see that mermaid known.
****[How Zendaya ended on a knoll]
As the storm started to build and Zendaya was tired. Only a drop of water, her whole body started to change. Her eyes turned sea blue and her skin turned translucent scale-less skin. Her face was so scary and her weakness furthered. The storm was powerful and the more water on her body, the more her skin transformed and the week she became. Her human body was weak and couldn't take so much transformation. She was in outrageous pain and she was screaming. She really couldn't walk, so she slowly crumpled, and then slowly fainted. After a moment the storm stopped, but water started to flow carrying Zendaya to a knoll. There on that knoll, her body dried up, and her body started to recover.
Tomorrow, as the sun raised her whole body transferred back to normal, and the scars she had last night vanished.

Beautifully, the mermaid continued to sing, and I continued to gaze at her from a distance. I'm behind a tree and I'm still trying to decide whether should I approach this mermaid or not.
"It's said that you can get a wish from a mermaid. So what are you waiting for, Zendaya? Go to her, she may like me, I may be that lucky girl. In my pretty messed up life, the is a lot that I can ask. She may help me find Zaire using her magic." I step one step forward, then one step back."What if she doesn't like me."
"Be positive Zendaya, she will love you. Anyway, there is nothing to lose"A few steps forward, then I change my mind again and turn back."
While still busy, thinking whether should I go to this mermaid or not, that melodies voices stop to sign.
"Who is there?", the mermaid inquired. Oh, no, is she referring to me? I'm looking at her as she looks this side, and that side, searching for whoever is there, which is likely to me.
"I'm asking you for the last time, who is there?", now she is staring straight at that tree, I'm hiding behind.
"It's me. My name is Zendaya and I...." I showed myself and stepped closer to her. She is indeed beautiful, with paradise-green eyes, and puffy, pouting lips.
"And you dare to disturb me"
"No, I was just passing by and I saw you. I didn't mean to disturb you"
"You disturbed me." The mermaids spoke and that beautiful voice turned into this ugly rough voice. Her eyes turned black, and she started to transform into this ugly slimy translucent creature and she crawled towards me. Trying to run, I stumbled. With speck of time, she was already on top of my body and opening her mouth.
"Stop", I turned and my eyes met Zaire. In a speck of time, I was already in his arms. Holding him tight and not ready to let him go.
