Struggle between sisters

Jasmine had always been jealous of Marina's special treatment, she began to harbor hatred towards her, she always thought she also a princess because she grew up with marina in the palace but little did she know she was just a mere maid born to serve marina until her last breath. She always followed marina everywhere to monitor her movements, then she discovered Marina's little secret of going to the surface and also discovered that a world existed apart from the sea she always lived in, but she wasn't much thrilled about going on land like the princess.

An evil struck her mind as she smiled mischievously and went in search of the Ruby king Euphorion had flinged away. "There's much to that stone''' When she was closer to the Ruby, she felt a strange pull her entire eyes went black as she held it in her hands.. The caged sorcerer could only be freed by a mermaid who has the same ambition as his. Her hand was cut by the sharp side of the stone, her blood covered the Ruby.

She vanished with the stone to somewhere she didn't know at all. Skulls surrounded her and bones of different kinds. She gulped and turned around to get out of wherever she found herself but then she bumped into a chest. "Ivan! is that you?" She cried. "Ofcourse! it's me darling niece" he laughed with mischief and winked. Jasmine hugged him tight and smiled "I'm glad you are back uncle" she smiled.

Ivan stared at her and swam around her, he held his chin and smiled for a while "you look more like a princess, I can see where your desires are coming from, too bad your mother died trying to make up for my own sins, the queen is the reason why your mother is dead". Jasmine's eyes widened in shock, anger as her face turned darker with hatred. Ivan sensed Jasmine's duty calls and gave her a black pearl, "whenever you want to meet me, call me through this I'll be there jasmine now go" he snapped his fingers and she vanished and reappeared at the borders of Serenia kingdom.

Marina was seen swimming away out of the gates as fast as she could with stars in her eyes. Jasmine hid behind a rock as she watched her bump into her king Euphorion, marina quickly turned around to swim away but her father caught up with her tail as she tried to get off laughing. "Will you tell me where you are off to?" He demanded. "Okay Okay! I'm off to see a friend, I waited for him but I guess he's too busy to show up so I decided to swim around the walls before he will come" she lied and tried to avoid eye contact. King Euphorion smiled widely as his fangs were visible, they were shiny, "it's a him ugh??" He held his chin trying to hold his excitement of his daughter getting married to a honourable merman.

Marina blushed and looked away "Dad?!" She turned around tucking her flowing hair away from her face. KIng Euphorion was beyond glad seeing her reaction "is he your mate? Do you like him? Cause I'm sure makes and females don't become friends without something in it" he smirked, Marina's face turned red as tomato and swam away into the palace, subconsciously the king had spoilt her plans of meeting her heartfound human.

She laid on precious stones and began to think of her life on land and marriage to her heartfound human but it was cut short as she remembered her father, cold shivers ran down her spine, "papa will be so disappointed if he discovers I went up there but I can't help it." She swam away from Serenia kingdom and went to where she saw the man earlier but he wasn't there, she decided to move a bit closer and hid behind a rock watching him sit among lots of women, she felt like strangling them all and drowning them but wait he wasn't even looking at them, his eyes were closed.

Marina watched him with so many stars in her eyes like the world has just started until she felt a hand pull her back into the sea. "Gosh Jasmine you scared me" she heaved a sign of relief and brought her head out to see him again, jasmine Also watched the man with stars in her eyes.. "Isn't he beautiful?" Marina moaned snapping jasmine out of her drama. "I can't wait to see the hateful look of the king when he discovers that his colourful and precious daughter is slowly turning human and rebellious like the sorcerer" she thought and turned around. "I'll tell the king what I just saw and he will punish you" she said like a big sister

Marina gasped in fear and shook her head, "No! Please don't tell father, I'll do anything for you." She begged. Jasmine saw a golden opportunity to kick Marina's ass off, get her revenge and claim the throne of Serenia kingdom for herself and Uncle Ivan.

    "The king has always treated her like a goddess meanwhile there's nothing special about her and left me behind because I'm his bastard, because I'm a product of his mistake with my mother! Because she's the legitimate daughter. She can't be chosen as heiress and rule over me for 300 years, that's Impossible, once she's out of the Picture and goes on land I'll gain the king's favour and rule the seven seas! Yes! This is my chance" she thought to herself.

Jasmine smiled mischievously and turned to face Marina. "Marina dear, my princess, do you know the gravity of what you have done? The king's hands are even tied on this if he wants to have mercy on you, you'll either be beheaded or banished into the realm of dark hungry monsters, you have committed an abomination and can't go back into the sea, eyes have seen you, you'll be dead if you go back to Serenia. You still have another chance of being with your human and live happily and gain a soul who knows!?" Marina thought for a while and took a look at the human and back to Marina and nodded at Marina.

"Please! Explain to my father, I can't find love in the sea, I can't have the land and sea at a time, I don't deserve to be called a mermaid princess. I hope he forgives me , I'll find a new life here, take care of our father. I love you both very much, tell the people I'm very sorry, I need to go! I'm sorry!" She moaned with sadness as tears began to form into pearls in her eyes and gave them to deliver to the king at all cost.

Marina hugged jasmine who was faking sadness and swam away, the man was the only one on the shore, just him no one else. He was asleep. Marina followed the waved and landed on the shore, the full moon shone brightly in the sky. She crawled on dry sand towards the man, like a hot knife split her tail into two turning it into a pair of legs. Her body transformation was unique, her long straight legs shone brightly, her heartbeat changed and breathed in hair as human for the first time, it wasn't as toxic as the other day, her skin glittered, Her golden eyes shed tears and they solidified into diamonds, she took them and threw them into the sea as her last respect, thunder and lightening followed scaring jasmine away back into the kingdom, she couldn't wait to break the news.

Jasmine summoned everyone in the kingdom and told lies of how princess marina turned her back and cursed the ocean and disowned her kingdom, and showed them the pearls and diamond as a sign of departure, a mermaid sheds diamond tears only after they turn humans or into beastly sirens. "You all know how the princess reminds our king of his late queen and how much he favours her than everyone, if I told him first, I might be forced to keep it a secret from you all!" She said faking sadness.

King Euphorion appeared and jasmine shivered under his death glare, "This meeting involving my daughter was started against my will behind my back, I'll pardon your treason, This meeting is cancelled and dismissed, not a word should get out of these kingdom or to the youths. You jasmine! Follow me!" He swam away angrily and heartbroken!
