Chapter 5 - The king's attack

While we were enjoying our night, deep down in the ocean someone was making a plan to destroy my village. I think you might know who this: the king. After he was told about my breakout, he decided to attack the village with floods to exterminate every single person there so he would be able to catch me. Of course, I didn't know that he would do that because I stopped thinking about any of my problems after I got back to the village. From that day I felt like I was the happiest person on earth. But it only lasted for 5 days. The very next morning of these days I woke up to see everyone howling and screaming, so I went outside to see that the water level is rising bit by bit and it is flooding the houses. Everyone was struggling to escape but some didn't make it to the top of the village's Mountain where my house was because the water didn't attain it yet. Sadness and sorrow filled all the survivors due to the death of the others. Something was odd because the sea here was always calm. I kept thinking all day long to finally remember that when I escaped the king was probably furious. So he must be the one who stimulated all this. I felt guilty about the death of all these innocent people so I decided to act before all the village is destroyed by that cold and heartless creature. But the problem is that. I can't fight him all by myself and if I try to tell anybody about my story so they can help they won't believe me, they will only think I'm crazy or they will tell me that it was just a dream. The King was flooding the village every day and people are dying while I just sit here and do nothing. After several days we decided to evacuate the village but I knew that this won't do any difference because he will continue flooding the place we will go to. I felt week and didn't know what to do anymore. Every night passing by I wished that I wasn't a princess even tho a lot of people loved that but in my case, it was the worst thing ever. Only mermaids could help me in this case because they are the only ones who would believe me in this situation. But unfortunately, there were no merpeople around me to help me uncover a way to stop the king. Days are passing by and the population of my village is decreasing. People thought it was bad luck, other thought that it is a curse but the truth was never known only by me. One day when I was helping some friends cleaning their house after the flood I heard a voice. This voice was calling me

So I went outside and saw a miracle. At this moment I was the happiest person on earth.
