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

Zasari kept on looking at Yhayha as they swam inside the secret entrance. She knew Banzi well so seeing Yhayha made her miss her family on land. She couldn't wait to hear all about Neo's story. 


"Wow," Dandari said as they swam inside a smooth oval building. It was well preserved compared to the other parts of the ancient royal house. 


"Don't touch anything," Zasari warned. 


"Oops," Dandari said. Everyone turned to look at her. A white door appeared on the smooth walls. They all swam to where Dandari was. 


"I think there's another section behind the door," Neo said. Gold liquid filled the passages of the engraved patterns in the door as soon as she touched it. She backed away a bit. 


"I think it's opening," Unanda observed. A round knob jumped out at the centre of the door when the gold liquid filled the patterns. "Let's see what's behind it," she bravely touched the knob but snatched back her hand when it burnt.
