I was exhausted. My throat was extremely sore. I stumbled inside the palace section of Pebble Cove and dropped onto the floor in exhaustion!
"Marsy? Is that you?" mother said. "Yes, mother." I moaned weakly. She asked me about why I was so weak and I just had to confess. "I met a human... He saw me and I had no choice but to sing Siren's Song of Forgetfulness."Siren's Song of Forgetfulness? How dare you Marsy! Didn't I warn you about singing the Siren's Song?" mother yelled. "You did, but I wasn't listening... I'm sorry!" I apologized but she didn't accept my apology. "I always remind you of my reputation as Queen of Mermaids, Marswimmer, but you never seem to understand! You are my daughter, however, I cannot and will not let my reputation slip for even the slightest second. If you are so amused by the humans, you shall go and live with them! My decision is final!" mother then swam away.
Tears trickled down from my eyes, down to my cheek. They came one by one. Later they just flowed out uncontrollably. I just need to tell you that I don't cry often. In fact, I don't cry at all! The last time that I cried was when I was a baby, which was 10 and almost 11 years ago! To be honest, I should be excited about going to England but something felt wrong...
The next day, mother came into my room to find out how many things I had packed."Marsy, this is for your own good but I'm going to miss my little girl! Be good in Australia and don't forget to argue with those who believe that mermaids aren't real!" for the first time in a long while my mother started to cry. I hugged her back and said,"But, I'll be a mermaid! How will I walk? Won't it be suspicious?" I questioned. " Am I daft? Don't you think that I haven't thought about that?" and she began to sing, "Siren's Song of Transformation, bestow me your special sensation. I call for thy's powers, to last the many hours. Till I next call to be exact, I sing to you and that's a fact!" she sang."Athena Toriwave, this is I, Queen Siren of the Sea! What is your wish, what shall it be? Thy's everlasting transformation you say, but there's a price you have to pay! Your life will be what has to go, now do you wish for so?" Queen Siren sang. My mother nodded and Siren continued,"Very well, now bid her farewell, as you shall follow thy, to the kingdom in the sky! " With a great big draw of breath, Queen Siren and my mother were gone!
