The sun had barely risen when Phoebe found herself wandering the glistening shores of the kingdom. The early light painted everything in hues of gold and amber, making the ocean sparkle like thousands of diamonds scattered across its surface. As she strolled along the beach, she encountered Patrick, the charming young prince with bright blue eyes that reminded her of the endless sky. Patrick, his fiancée was supposed to marry her. They chatted playfully, sharing whispers and laughter that danced on the cool morning breeze.
“Phoebe, you’ll be an amazing queen someday,” Patrick said, his voice warm and sincere. “I can already see it… your heart is as vast as the ocean.”
“Thanks” I replied to him with a kind smile.
We swan together across the fishes.
“But I want you to trust on me, no matter what, you will be my wife, and I want to make sure you feel protected by my side”
“Patrick, thanks for your words, I know my stepmother really wants things work out between us and for the happiness of the kingdom I will do my best to be a good wife”
“Do you mean it Phoebe?”
“Yes” I replied
“But you are not in love with me right?”
“Right now I barely know you”
“Is there another man in your heart?”
“Why you could think something like that?”
“I just want you to be honest with me always Phoebe, ok?”
Phoebe smiled softly, her heart swelling with affection for her fiancée. “And you, Patrick, will be a great king. Your kindness will inspire our people.” She looked out across the water, her gaze lost in thought. “But sometimes… I feel there may be more to life than just crowns and thrones.”
Later that afternoon, with the sun high in the sky, Phoebe decided to take a swim. As she glided through the water, she felt the rhythm of the ocean pulse through her. It was there, amidst the waves, that she encountered her fairy godmother, her presence shimmering like sunlight on the surface of the sea.
“Phoebe,” her godmother said, her voice a gentle caress, “you must choose between desire and dharma. Your heart knows its true purpose — the love that may lead you to have a family, to create bonds that surpass time itself.” Said Patrick, now that I spent more time with him I saw his green eyes and his blue toil with a special and enigmatic attractive.
The weight of those words lingered in the air as I stared back at him, entranced. Suddenly, a vision flashed before my eyes — vibrant colors, swirling like a storm, revealing glimpses of futures untold. “I can see things… visions of life… of love… of families…” I whispered breathlessly.
“You are awakening your gift,” her godmother replied, a knowing smile illuminating her face. “In another life, you may become a seer, able to glimpse the threads of fate intertwined with your soul.”
The rest of the day I spent the evening lost in the melodies of my own songs, each note a reflection of my heart. I want to make right things for Oceania but also in my heart only conquer love, and the love I feel for Cold, that´s the truth I can´t confess to Patrick. After a serene sunset, I attended a concert of mermaids, their voices intertwining and echoing across the water, wrapping her in a blanket of warmth and nostalgia.
But as the stars twinkled overhead and the moon cast its silver glow, it was in Cold’s arms that I truly found my sanctuary. I know this night will be different for us, He said will make something special. I said goodbye to my mermaid friends and I left the bar in the sea, and started to swim to that place, and hotel near by the beach, where I will spend my first night with Cold losing my virginity. Finally… into his arms.
The moment I entered the room, serenity enveloped me, I saw him. The room was totally decored with red roses, candles and Coral Sea animals, and gazing into his dark, fathomless eyes quelled every storm within my heart found peace. Cold lay on the bed, his head buried in the soft pillows, the faintest sigh escaping his lips.
“Cold,” I murmured, a smile spreading across his lips, as I approached next to his mouth. I leaned down, brushing my lips against his, an electric connection sparking between us. His arms enveloped me as I started to trembled, his warmth igniting a fire within myself that remind forever in my body´s memory.
“Phoebe,” Cold whispered, eyes still closed, meanwhile I felt him even more, and more inside of me “it feels as if you were born from the very stars themselves, you are divine.”
“Omg Cold” I said speechless.
“You are a Goddess, I could die this night feeling you totally mine”
“Omg, don´t stop”
“I just could live forever just like that, your taste, your lips, your skin, your legs, your hips”
“You are driving me crazy Phoebe, you are driving me crazy”
“Oh Cold, please keep moving like that”
“I just move the way you move, you feel so wet, I never felt anything like that, this is the heaven”
“Oh Phoebe I love you”
“Only to be with you,” I breathed, heart racing as our lips met once more, this time with an urgency that transcended words. Our bodies intertwined, moving together in a dance as ancient as the sea. He explored every inch of myself with a tenderness born from longing, while I surrendered completely, becoming one with his heartbeat.
In a moment that felt eternal, our souls danced in a sacred rhythm, every touch a promise, every sigh a vow. We became lost in each other, in the sweet song of love that enveloped us, drifting through the night as if we were the only two beings that existed.

Afterward, as we lay together, Cold’s grip around my waist relaxed, sliding into a peaceful slumber, his breath a gentle whisper against the silence of the night. I watched him, now I belong to him, I am her woman, the moonlight casting shadows on his handsome face, and knew that my stepmother would understand. Deep down, he would never oppose the bond that flowed so naturally between us. Yet my stepmother’s calculating eyes would not rest easily on this love; my coveted a union with Patrick, the mer-prince whose wealth would serve her ambitions is over from tonight, Cold is my man and I will marry him.
As the night deepened, I felt a shift within myself. My transformation from mermaid to woman was seamless; the magic of my passion feeling and love with Cold imbued my body in very essence. I lay beside him, feeling the warmth of my human body against him, making the world outside melt away. We belonged to each other.
But unbeknownst to her, a jealous friend had secretly watched from the shadows, one of Phoebe´s mermaid friends who were in the concert, She follows Phoebe to surface without Phoebe´s noticing, and her intentions was dark as the deep ocean. That night would change everything, igniting a ripple effect that would echo through the realms, challenging the very fate Phoebe was beginning to embrace.
