Prologue

... At that moment, Oskania saw a gap in the crowd of laughing, singing, and dancing girls and rushed forward. The revelers gasped in unison as a girl burst out of the darkness and, in one swift motion, leaped over the bonfire, her feet grazing the flames. No one had time to see the jumper before Leia followed her. The others scrambled to line up for their turn. The first jumper, with a blissful smile, returned to the firelight, and everyone saw it was Oskania. Shouts of joy and delight filled the night beach. The tension dissipated as the larger group broke into smaller clusters, and those who hadn't yet introduced themselves did so. Just a few hours ago, Oskania had been lying alone on the beach, with no one, except for Leia, daring to approach her. Now, everyone crowded around her, chatting and asking questions. Oskania complimented Ailynn on the bonfire, smiled at Lia, and hugged Fina. She was happy.

Astia wanted to talk to Leia to find out if she knew when the initiation into the court ladies would begin, but Leia stayed close to Oskania the entire time. Slightly off to the side, Astia noticed a girl standing alone. It was the same short, blue-eyed blonde who had asked her and Lia about Oskania earlier.

“Hi, I’m Astia. What’s your name?” she asked the overly shy blonde.

“Latia,” the girl replied.

“Oskania is amazing, isn’t she?”

“Yes,” Latia said quietly.

They fell silent, the conversation faltering.

“Let’s go join the others,” Astia suggested.

“Alright, I’ll be right there.”

Astia shrugged and walked away.

“Astia, where are you?” came Fina’s shout. “Come over here!”

The party was winding down. The voices of the girls grew quieter, the forgotten bonfire had died down, and only the embers glowed faintly in the dark. It was getting cooler. It was time to return. Oskania stepped into the warm night water, followed by the eighteen beautiful girls who now made up her retinue. She submerged herself completely, pushing off from the sandy bottom with her feet. A powerful shiver ran through her body from the crown of her head to the tips of her toes. Her legs convulsed, fusing together. Goosebumps from her thighs to her feet transformed into large scales, and her feet reshaped into a tail fin. The future princess of the Eastern Empire, along with her new friends, surged forward at incredible speed, diving deeper and deeper. Only nineteen mermaid tails flashed above the sea’s surface in the silvery moonlight.
