I awakened catching my breath.

It felt like I just woke up from a nightmare.

I looked around and there was no trace of my sister.

The mirror pulled her back to the Legendarium huh?

"You feeling better?" I was surprised when someone asked.

There I saw Thanatos.

"No. But I will be." I said coldly and looked at my book that's now glowing gold. Which means I really have to enter. The story will continue. I must fill my duties as the book keeper.

I heard Thanatos sigh.

"Look about last night, Hades was just—"

I cut him off.

"Do not try to validate what he did."

He bowed.

"He was just paying curtsy since she was the former queen. That is all." Thanatos said curtly.

I scoffed.

"Really? Then eating each others face in the breakfast room this morning was also a form of cursty?? I asked back.

His brows furrowed.

"But—-"

I didn't let him finish.

"Shut up Thanatos. I am not interested anymore. Now will you excuse me? I have a story to finish." I said with finality and summoned my book.

The mermaid huh?

I smirked as I entered the book.

Once Upon A Time...

——————————————————————————————-

A twist of time

Once there was a mermaid who've wanted happiness. But she's a princess. Her father was strict of course, she's Ariel's sister. All Aergia Wanted was to have a happily every after for her and for Eleizer. But her father was a cruel merman. He cursed them both. A curse of the twist in time.

Before they were Aergia and Eleizer. Now they're Jakub and Zheekina.

Can they work it out and prove their love?

Let's see.

"Where are you going Jakub?" My brother motioned as I swam out of our reef. It was midnight. I can see the bright light from above. I wanted to explore.

"I'm just going up to the surface, I promise I'll be back before Dusk." I said and he just shook his head and went to his coral and sleep.

I looked around first to see if the guards were still there.  I was confused when my visions were blurry and it flashed that a young mermaid said the same thing I said to my brother just now. I just sighed. This happens a lot to me. I don't know why. When I noticed that the coast was clear I vastly swam up to the surface.

I was expecting the beautiful night sky;the stars shining bright, the moonlight, the calm waves. But to my surprise it was the complete opposite. The waves were wild and the thunder growled at the sky. I looked around and felt that it was raining. Then I saw a burning ship!
