Manolo’s POV
I left the Witch's land at night. This time I didn't ask Dalena to make some predictions about my future, I just wanted to find out Sibyl's identity with her.
After walking out of the forest, my heart was still very excited.
My parents died the day I was born. I was a baby with my eyes still closed, and I didn't see my parents' faces when I cried. My grandfather embraced me with trembling hands, patted me gently, and then brought me up.
When I was born, mermaids almost died out, leaving only my grandpa and me. 100 years ago, we mermaids lived by the sea, like witches who have their own independent territory. But as the wars between nations spread and our territories were invaded, we had to come to human society and learn how to live like a human being.
