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.

Blood and Water

"My Takhi has died and I didn't realize it," Sazhi whispered sorrowfully. "What kind of a father am I?" 


"Kanta and Tak...Kaima," Tunga corrected himself, "fooled us all," he said. "I took my daughter to Kanta thinking that she was cursed but she wasn't." 


"Zangori got legs because her mother was once human," Sazhi said. "You would have been foolish to not think that Zasari's humanness would affect her children somehow," he looked at Tunga. 


"Zasari was able to understand animals when she was human," Tunga said. "Dandari can too. Zasari once had legs, Zangori got them too," he added. 


"What made you panic, Tunga?" Sazhi asked. "You are usually calm. So what made you take Zangori to Kanta soon after she got legs?" 


"I didn't want everyone to know that Zasari was once human," Tunga revealed. "I have only told you that detail of my life so only you and Queen Asando knew," Tunga looked at Sazhi.
