Being caught between two worlds is not easy. Dineo grew up an ordinary human aside from her weak lungs and breathing problems. Until one day when Neo’s world is turned upside down. Neo learns she has never been human at all, and she has a vital role to play that could save lives on both land and sea.  Neo takes us on a journey of self discovery, from being a sickly human to a powerful ocean queen.

Neo slowly moved towards the water to do as ordered. Her bare feet gradually parted with the ground as soon as she stood beneath the waterfall. A mirror reflection of her appeared, she was aware that she was looking at herself but the white patterns all over her upper body and the long purple fish tail made her doubt that it was truly her.
"You need to embrace what you are and return to the ocean" Thandi said "Because the answers that you seek are within the depths of the ocean." 












Blood and Water

The journey to the Odunda capital was no short one but Tunga helped make it easy on Neo. He couldn't believe that he was finally swimming home with his long lost daughter by his side. He kept staring at her as she swam alongside him with ease and smiled to himself. 


"We have arrived" Tunga said after stopping "This is the capital" he announced. Neo looked around and aside from being surrounded by water it looked like a village on land would, a very advanced village. 


"Can you please take me to meet my mother and sister? I know what I have to tell your queen is urgent but I have wondered my entire life what my biological family looked like so meeting the others is as urgent to me" Neo said.
