Before I could process what the hell was happening...I was already in the middle of the lake I thought to be the most amazing...not because there weren't streams let alone lakes in the three lands but because this one felt so magically awesome....the feeling...the breeze...the unfathomable feeling of pleasure. greater ..far greater than one could imagine.....
'wait! wait! wait!..no praises anymore for this lake... it's about to drown me anyway' I cursed and grumbled within me as I felt not only my weight... myself...my soul ...my memories submerged in the lake....I was busy frowning to myself and struggling to see who it was that had welcomed me yet pushed me.
How the hell did I even land in the middle?....what type of forceful yet soft push was that that I had actually floated in the air till I got to the middle and dropped into the lake like a sheet of paper carried and controlled by the breeze.?... thinking about these things made me forget....as my anger boiled in me and I felt like strangling that hypocrite ....I realized I had never swam all my life...oh hell I'm dead!
How could I even know how to swim when I was born a slave which means I've never even felt the luxury of a wash basin....oh no...I began to curse....in my second life I'd definitely hunt this person and bring her to drown here too. ...
"Drown Melissa...drown!" I subconsciously screamed as it felt like forever...I wasn't even struggling with life at all . I seemed to be floating... although not out on the surface but I was inside the water....the shock of me being able to talk ..swim and see was taking the whole of my self control and scaring me to my core more than the death I had imagined
"welcome home damsel..."I heard the voice again...the one that had pushed me into the water lately....the voice seemed to have come from behind me...I took a swift spin in shock to see the person's face and perhaps start my strangling although I doubted I could do anything....it was a fine young girl....her hair packed in a bun.....she had a tail...a colorful tail as at that ... sparkling like red wine with liles dancing on it...white lilies..
"who are you?"I found myself asking the red haired mermaid as my anger swapped into amusement...this was unbelievable... mermaids existed?!
I flashed back while in a daze and awe of her to her royal majesty princess Natasha actually telling me about a bed time story about what she called mermaids...water creatures...but she'd told me they were rather illusion and fiction...or was I in a dream?...or perhaps the majesty was as ignorant as everyone else.
'"my name is Melody ...my damsel...I'm your personal guide" the mermaid girl smiled at me
I let out a mysterious chuckle...I saw bubbles form and the water foamed just in front of my mouth and the shock and realization that I could breathe .. speak and do anything under water got me terrified... horrified that I've somehow been pushed into another dimension.... but why was this mermaid girl referring to me as damsel like I was some important entity in a story line...or was I?
I couldn't really think straight right now...I was confused...so confused and scared that I might do something wrong and would eventually drown
The girl chuckled and swing her tail...
"don't worry damsel...you can do anything under water...this is our kingdom...if you come out the water you'd find your legs again but ones in the water you're half human and half fish....a mermaid to be precise...."
I cut her off Midway as I gasped when that line she said dawned on me 'if you come out of the water you'd find your legs again..'my head snapped downward to see if actually my legs have gone missing and then I froze....I hadn't realized earlier on when I fell that I could no longer feel my legs but a weird awkwardness floating from my torso downwards actually flapping like a tail would do....I wasn't only frightened I was dumbstruck and awestruck...my legs has been replaced with a tail....not just a tail...but a pure white tail...more beautiful than the lilies all around...but before I could admire my full width and process what was happening...I began to see different and alot ... actually a swam of mermaids..both male and female swim and surround me...their tails were in different colors and shades of the Lily flowers.... my mouth opened in maybe fear or something...I couldn't find my voice or perhaps before I could....
"welcome damsel Melissa...to the land of lilies... welcome home"the girl called Melody said again...not giving me anytime to process the shock... fear...awe .... splendour and everything happening now...I saw the cloud turn into Lily flowers or perhaps shaded by alot of them and they began to drop on me.
