I hurried to grab my eyeliner and create an Egyptian eyeliner on my eyes, while Yryhnna's melodious voice called me, laughing, asking me to hurry. She was dressed in a bright red crop top that highlighted her fair skin and contrasted with her ruby red lips and blue eyes, her long black hair falling straight down to her hips. Yryhnna was undoubtedly the most beautiful mermaid I had ever known, she was 30 years old, but everyone believed she was younger than 20. One thing that mermaids have is longevity, our bodies produce collagen and glutathione in inhuman quantities, so it takes centuries before the passage of time becomes noticeable. We never get old, even my mother looked like our older sister.
"
Hurry, little flower," she said, laughing. "You'll arrive when all the handsome guys are already taken."
"Is that the most fun part of the party?" I asked, changing my coral bra for a coral crop top, adorned with a cascade of small, shiny pearls that covered my back, ribs, and belly. I took a black leather skirt and put it in my purse because I would need to wear it when we transformed.
"Maybe it's the most fun if you're looking for quick sex," said Yryhnna winking at me.
"Enjoy life baby sister, while you can becuse you are still single"
Yryhnna!" I screamed laughting, squinting my eyes and sticking my tongue out in disgust.
"Come on, we all know that men, after a few drinks, just want to get inside you. Humans and tritons, they're all pretty basic in that aspect," she explained, her sweet voice turned into a tone of resignation.
We swam out of our house, surrounded by coral and a beautiful garden full of starfish. We searched for Seila in a cave among the rocks, leading to the surface, an area where the clear, sparkling water fell downwards like a waterfall. Swimming through the waterfall, we reached a pool where the ocean water was trapped in small basins. The water was bright and clear, like the pearls on my crop top. Seila, in her human form with two long and slender legs, was wearing a perfectly fitting satin blue dress. She was doing makeup for a client, while another one, transformed in mermaid, waited sitting next to the water to have her hair styled.
"I said I would come home after work," Seila explains, slowly with a tenderr voice, raising an eyebrow slightly as she saw her sisters emerge from the sea and walk towards her on two bare legs.
"This place is incredible," Yryhnna said, ignoring her sister and lying down on a hammock held between two palm trees.
"We were ready, and you know Yryhnna loves coming to the reef to watch you work," I said."She loves the reef because Yryhnna is a hopeless romantic. I bet she secretly dreams of moving to a place like this with Alán," Seila inquired, finishing a shadow game on her client's eyelids. As I looked at the finished makeup, I had to take a deep breath. My sister was a truly talented artist. Her makeup was truly magical; on her eyelids, two sunflowers seemed to slowly turn as the mermaid looked up. And the honey color of her eyes shone intensely when she stared at you, thanks to a copper color that contrasted with her fair skin and enhanced her gaze. But the most fascinating part was her lips; it seemed as if I was gazing at the calm waves of the sea swaying inside her lipstick. Her lip color was not thick, but it gave her lips a sense of depth and an effect of ocean water within the frame of her mouth. It was astonishing; the lipstick was a light pink, so I observed a peaceful pink ocean that delicately expanded into two curtains when the mermaid opened her lips to smile.
The client took a small mirror and look, fascinated, her make up finished.
I love Seila! You're the best!
- I'm glad you like me, Eleonor… now go and have fun with your husband. - Says Seila smiling with kindness.
We said goodbye to Eleonor and jumped into the water. Seila was wearing a blue dress, but as soon as she entered the water, her turquoise mermaid tail grew beneath the dress.
Yryhnna and I followed her, we were both naked with our white pants and underwear inside my bag. Yryhnna transformed her legs into a shiny ruby red fish tail, while my human legs turned into a bright orange tail.
We arrived at the beach party, all of us had long, flowing hair and looked absolutely beautiful.
"Do you think we're the only ones at the party?" Seila asked as we surfaced, our eyes fixed on the horizon while half of our faces remained submerged in the sea. Swimming this way was safer to conceal our identity.
"There are probably more girls," I replied.
"But the only ones of our race…" Seila began, Yryhnna and I exchanged glances, knowing what Seila was referring to.
In addition to the half-fish mermaids like us, we were original from Grece we become into famous thanks to the text of "The odyssey".But there was other kind of mermaids, there were othe Syren, originals from Irland. They were related to our species but different in our moral values and way of life. The Syren fed on human flesh, especially that of men. They transformed into half-human, half-bird creatures when they needed to attack their prey. We could only transform into humans, but our nature would always be that of a mermaid with a fish tail and a nice heart. If we had any Syren blood in our lineage, we would probably have the power to transform into monstrous birds and the instinct to hunt men. Fortunately, our lineage was pure, my entire family and kingdom belonged to the mermaids.
"We haven't seen a Irland Syren in a long time," Yryhnna shrugged.
"Not since our trip to the French coast…" she added, her voice trembling slightly. My legs grew cold as I remembered our experience on the French coast. The Syren had kidnapped Yryhnna, wanting to turn her into one of them. Her boyfriend Alan arrived with my father and the French mermaid guard just in time, before the transformation could happen. I took my sister's hand and squeezed it tightly. Her bright blue eyes looked at me sweetly, and she gave me a radiant smile. Yryhnna would always be the most beautiful of all, but her beauty made her the most vulnerable at the same time.
"We'll be fine tonight," Yryhnna reassured, her face taking on a challenging, stern, protective expression.
As we emerged from the sea, we walked naked for a couple more thousands and pulled out Yryhnna's black leather skirt and white pants to dress ourselves. They were dry, only our hair and bras were wet. These bags were truly magical, allowing you to keep any belongings you wanted dry once you surfaced. We walked naked, careful not to be seen by any curious onlookers on the beach. The naked body was the most beautiful thing a woman could have, but humans were modest and only showed their naked bodies to their partners. It was like a game, if you saw a naked girl it was like winning the lottery when you were human.
Seila was the only one wearing her wet dress and not wearing underwear, but it didn't seem to bother her. She moved enchantingly, revealing in the attention she received, with all eyes on her rear and the wet dress clinging to her silhouette. Her long, damp brown hair fell behind her back. She went ahead, and upon arriving at the party, we were able to follow her through the crowd. I was certain she was leading us to the bar to order our first cocktails, and as I watched her grin and seducing at the bartender, I knew I wasn't mistaken.
A group of boys played a fun game on the beach, hitting a ball with a racket in their hands. Although we didn't live in the human world, we were well aware of all its secrets; mermaids could visit the surface and even walk among people whenever we wanted, allowing us to easily understand their culture and norms. I noticed that the teams were unbalanced, with two boys playing against three. The team with more players consisted of one girl and two men, while the opposing team consisted of two men. They were all young, and there was another boy sitting on the side of the net, watching them play. He hugged his knees with one arm and rested his chin on his hand, observing the tennis match with a concentration similar like if He was studying a game of chess. I looked at that boy and noticed his strong, hairy forearms, his hazel brown eyes were concentrated. I turned towards the bar, where a crowd made it difficult to access. Yryhnna grabbed my arm, letting out a laugh. "Let's follow Seila
The people start screaming, and in that moment, I run between the tables towards where my sister was. My jaw drops and my nails grow into sharp claws, two sharp fangs sprout from my teeth, and I sink them into the arm of the werewolf attacking my sister, screaming with strength. In that moment, his arm throws me to the other side and launches me into the air. I land on a couple of tables a few meters away and feel a deep pain in my hips. I watch as other men transform into beasts, leaving their human forms behind. Some of them tear apart and dismember people as they run and advance among them. A hand pushes me on the shoulder and helps me to stand up. My sister, Seila, extends her hand to me, I grab it and run behind her. "Follow me! Quickly!" we run between the tables of the restaurant and head towards the bar. My face, which had transformed into that of a mermaid ready to attack, regains its normal features. I watch in amazement as Yryhnna, transformed into a furious mermaid, sink
Weeks had passed since the werewolf attack. The royal mermaid guard, alarmed by the frequent attacks near the sea, had forbidden the sirens from interacting with humans until further notice. They could only surface if they stayed close enough to the ocean and we always had to inform the mermaids guard about our return to the sea. There was no curfew at the moment, as they were still investigating the motive behind the attacks. Were they planned by the irish syrens, or did the werewolves have a plan to access the kingdom of the sea? After the accident on the beach, people and humans were closing their businesses early. The official police report claimed that a gang of killers had arrived in the city and attacked the party. The only survivors were three men who could only vaguely remember what had happened and one girl. Due to the trauma they had witnessed, they couldn't provide more details to the authorities. Upon hearing the news, we confirmed that Seila's spell had worked, and the
We returned home that night, almost celebrating our clandestine and dangerous escape, just before sunset. We had broken at least 20 rules, and Seila and Mathias had even had lunch together when he invited her. I excused myself, giving them more privacy, and waited for her at the company's restaurant, located in the lobby. The surprising thing was that even though Mathias didn't remember anything specific about Seila, he treated her as if he already knew her. I wasn't as lucky, as I never saw the bald man and sweet hazel eyes, I had seen on the beach again, and I didn't know anything about him, not even his name, I only know he worked with robots, aparently Mathias too. But something inside my heart, a voice from another plane, told me that I would soon have him close to me again. "I already know everything," Yryhnna said, swimming towards Seila as she happily prepared to comb her hair. Seila was sitting on the couch in our luxurious living room, surrounded by magazines and pictures
I know He told me He doesn't want to see me ever again. We probably we never talk in this life. Because He said "Not Mia, we are never going to see us". But there is something inside my heart weaping and begging me to see him before He leaves. I knew that we both had decided to come to the surface by our own choice, we were both adults and the more liberal and Dionysian part of me just wanted to dance and have fun, to see the man who starred in my dreams since the first night I met him. But another part of me, the more rational one, knew that they had discovered our secret. And just for the fact of capturing us in a net, they deserved death, as it was a completely disrespectful action to treat a mermaid. We were mythological creatures, direct descendants of the Goddess of the sea. But I didn't take the rules so seriously and knew that among humans it was quite natural to make wrong actions and only acknowledge them after realizing they had made a mistake. That was something that disti

I remember how started everything. I am a mermaid. And I am very healthy. I don't use to drink coffe... specially now that I am pregnant. I am pregnant of the King Alpha. But he wasn't the King Alpha always. I remember the night I met him, I was virgin, and he was only a human. An stranger human. *** Back in timeThe cafes were treasure troves, as infinitely full of life as the spring basins, where it was said in the realm of the sirens, they were poured with the same serpentine tears of the Goddess Isis, and from which Mary Magdalene had drunk. Mía was always a different siren from her sisters, she used to collect old books when she visited the human world, and would wander through the streets looking for bookstores as if it were of vital importance. She used to search for those with indelible ink to continue her readings once she could leave them in a rented house near the beach, where Deisy would only go up to read and lie down in bed. Like her sisters, she was rich, born into a
