I saw horrible things when I was unconscious that time. I saw castles collapsing, mer with blood gushing out of them, turning the water red. I saw a horrible monster that looked like the devil rampaging through streets. I heard a sinister voice chuckle, "Poor, poor girl. This world will go up in flames. I wish you the worst of luck," and saw a giant hand hovering over me, then all I saw was darkness.

I woke in a different room. The first thing I noticed was that there were other two things in it. The first was a chair and the second was the very shell that introduced me to this fearful place. I screamed and scrambled away from it. Ling rushed in and hugged me murmuring, "It's ok."

I screamed, "It's not ok! It's very not ok!"

I swam over to the edge of the cave and sat there, cowering in fear. Ling sighed and swam out of the cave. She later returned with Neela who looked very angry. When she saw the shell, she picked it up and swam out. When I relaxed, she asked me why I screamed. I replied, "That is the seashell that introduced me to this nightmare."

She apologized and guided me outside. There I saw Astrid, Neela, who no longer had the shell and the crying merman. Thankfully, he had stopped crying. Unthankfully he was too busy disassembling a practice dummy to notice anything. He hissed, "That witch! When I get my hands on her, she will wish she had died when we took back Miromara."

I wanted to go back into the cave and hide until the merman calmed down but Ling was already leading me toward him. Ling called, "Mahdi! Over here!

Mahdi turned around and saw us coming his way. He saw my scared expression and said, "Its ok. I'm just furious at Lucia."

My head started throbbing and I groaned, "Why does my life have to be so complicated?"

Mahdi laughed, "Please elaborate on that. First let me tell you the stuff I've been through."

He proceeded to list off lots of things I wouldn't have done myself. When he was done I said, "That's a lot but have you been transformed into a mermaid against your will, recited a prophesy that you didn't even know about and then have a dream about the end of the world that had a giant devil rampaging through streets and tearing people's heads off?"

Mahdi looked aghast. He shook his head and said, "Well that's new. Fortunately, you didn't break any bones. And luckily, we don't have more demons to deal with. "

This time when the headache came, for some dumb reason, I welcomed it. My eyes began to glow my hair became a maroon color. Everyone backed away in shock and started reaching for their weapons. I boomed, "Daughter of darkness, still alive. She will be brought down by five and I. One whose heart is like a fire, one whose hand controls the tide. One whose love will never expire, one whose loyalty will never die. One whose wisdom trumps all, and by one's hand darkness will fall," and collapsed for the second time that day.

When I awoke, I saw a spear pointed at me. I asked, "What happened and why is a spear in my face?"

The person holding the spear, the copper haired merman, hissed, "We don't know who you are and why you are here so you will remain here, witch."

I groaned, "Look, I have no idea why you are so suspicious of me and why I'm being treated like a frog while being dismembered. So, BUZZ OFF!"

The last words came out of me in a shout so powerful and so surprising that he backed away. The next second many men clad in armor swam into the cave I was residing in at full speed and pointed their spears at my face. I saw Astrid's face among them. I glared at all of them and rolled over, trying to keep tears from escaping. I heard a voice call out from outside the cave say, "Ok, what's the problem?"

I turned over and saw a mermaid with red hair and a pearly beige and brown tail swim in. Astrid replied, "Becca, this is a suspicious mermaid that is acting pretty weird."

At that, I sat up and yelled, "Why don't you say that to my face!?" Becca laughed and said, "Don't punch anyone yet, please!" and went back to talking with Astrid.

I growled and started to inspect where I was. I got bored looking around and started to mumble some lyrics to the song silent scream. When I finished I started mumbling cost of the crown. Soon I started to sing aloud. When everyone heard my voice they stopped and turned towards me. I didn't care because I was too deep into the song. When I finished Becca asked, "How did you learn to sing so beautifully?

I replied I don't know," and smiled to myself, for their flabbergasted faces looked hilarious. Becca didn't smile and grabbed my arm and swam out of the cave with me and the copper haired merman in tow.

She stopped at a side of a boulder. To my horror and surprise she threw him onto the boulder where he disappeared. She somehow swam through the boulder to the cave where he was sitting on a rock with a look of poor outrage. Becca pointed to a chair so I supposed I had to sit so I did. She hissed at the merman, "Fool! Don't you know that if you get too hands on we might have to knock you down so you DON'T go on a killing spree! What would Sera say?" and continued scolding him.

When she said Sera, I could see his eyes grow dull with pain. I knew that if I didn't stand up for him he might cry. I knew it was foolish but I stood up. When she looked at me I let go of my shyness and growled, "Will you stop? Don't you have anything better to do? He obviously was very close to her and misses her dearly and you shouldn't blame him for being furious and curious because I just spouted TWO prophecies on the same day and I have no clue what is going on so why don't you get a little sympathetic, Becca? I know that she was your blood sister so you should know the pain he is going through! And you should be trying to help mer that are in pain and need saving!"

Becca looked shocked and backed up a bit. When I turned to the copper haired merman, I could see the gratitude in his eyes. She mumbled, "You're right. I'm sorry. I'm just stressed because Ava has disappeared."

I asked, "Ava wouldn't happen to be blind and with a weird, piranha looking fish…. Right?"
