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

Neo had to get into business as soon as possible. Helping Queen Asando transition was not difficult but pleading with mother nature might be. Her communication network with other ocean leaders was activated right after her inauguration. 


"Odunda and her people are ready to join the collective in asking Gaia for another chance," Neo said to the other leaders. It was as though they were having a virtual meeting. 


"I'm glad that you managed to seize Odunda back," one of the other leaders stated. "Welcome to the ocean's custodian council, Queen Zangori." 


"Thank you," Neo said. She was overwhelmed yet ready for the responsibilities of queen. "May we begin? We don't have much time." Everyone agreed. People all over Odunda were holding hands as was done on land. Neo and the other sea leaders formed a Mundra with their hands before shutting their eyes.
