Two days had passed, and when Deliana had said I‘d feel far more desires, she had not been wrong. When I slept, I dreamt of Theon fucking me, and when I awoke, the thought irritated me, but I couldn‘t deny that I often had the most explicit images in my head of him. I just felt so horny, to the point I often was tempted to invite Aquarius over for some fun, but I refrained. 

I tried to focus on other things instead, learning more about the sea and the issues here. Deliana, Lavina and Ariella trained me a little, giving me tips on how to use my abilities, the way it rippled through me was so natural and felt so right. 

Swimming with my tail had become easy, and it was almost as if I had been born with a tail. Deliana told me that once I went ashore, I would be able to shift into any form I wished by simply thinking it. 

We were now travelling towards the Obsidian Ocean, this was where the Sea Emperor resided, the supreme ruler of the seven seas. It blew my mind how fast one could travel in siren form, our strong tails never tiring. A few days ago, I never would have thought that I would be at the bottom of the ocean, swimming with the sirens. 

A tale to tell one day..

From my time with Deliana and Lavina it was obvious they did not want this war, and they had hopes! would be the one to be able to change the Sea Emperor‘s mind. 

The closer we got, the more restless and snappy Deliana got. I knew it was because she wasn‘t looking forward to seeing Queseidon, knowing the truth that I was her daughter was going to be revealed and his wrath would follow. 

It was several hours later when we finally reached the magnificent golden undersea castle of the imperial ruler. It was breath–taking, with several turrets and towers, jewel–encrusted doors and it oozed wealth and elegance. 

We were led inside, hundreds of guards armed with spears flanked the glittering magical halls as we swam through them towards the Emperor‘s throne room. 

King Andres... a man who had been unfair, selfish and thoughtless... Then we have Thedeon, the man who overtook us and took the position as king, but was a true tyrant... and now I was to meet a third king… one who is also hell–bent on power and revenge. 

Was this why a female was chosen? I didn‘t know, but I hoped the ruler of the oceans was different. 1 

“Her royal majesty Queen Deliana of the Aethirian Ocean, the Sea Witch Lavina, Princess Ariella and...” The merman looked at us, and Deliana stepped into the grand hall. 

“Allow me.” She stated haughtily as we all entered behind her, my eyes falling upon the Emperor.. 

He looked far younger than I had imagined he would be, with a muscular upper body and a big thick tail, which was in hues of shimmering greens and copper. His shoulder–length hair was a few shades darker than mine, with a beard. 

He wore a necklace, with gold arm cuffs, and in his hand he held a trident far bigger than Deliana’s. It dazzled brightly with a silvery staff, and the three–speared head was of a pearlescent silver that seemed to glow. Upon his head was a gold band. It may not be the most extravagant, but he didn‘t need a huge headpiece to let all know he held immense power. That trident alone was enough proof of that. 

They all bowed their heads to him, and I followed suit. The door slammed shut behind us and I could feel 

Queseidon‘s gaze upon me. 

“To what do I owe the pleasure of this meeting?” His voice was as cold as his pale grey eyes as he looked upon us from his magnificent dais, where he had sat upon his huge throne. 

“Father, we all do ask for your forgiveness, but there is someone I wish for you to meet.” Deliana announced gracefully. 

“And you brought her.” He said with contempt, glaring at Lavina. 

She smiled gracefully at the Emperor. 

“It is always a pleasure to accompany my granddaughters.” She replied, taking me by surprise. 

So that meant... her daughter was the mother of Deliana, Lavina was my great grandmother! And it meant that Deliana and Ariella were not half–sisters as I had begun to assume. I had learned that the king had all his children from countless sirens, the most powerful being given titles and oceans to call their own.
