THEME: The mermaid survived


    TWO WEEKS LATER


    SAINT PETER HOSPITAL


    Ade opened her eyes slowly observing the surrounding through her blurred vision from waking up. “Where am I? What’s going on?” She thought as her vision became clearer.


    Ade turned her head towards the beeping sound of the machine next to the bed. “How did I get here?” She asked herself.


    Minutester the door opened and Oliver Scott walked in with a nurse behind him. Ade looked up at them, her eyes widened in surprise and shock when Oliver opened his eyes full and her breathe caught! Then she stared intensely at him while a smile yed on his lips. Ade’s eyes did a slow crawl on Oliver’s his lips that was full and plump, his hair fell on his eyes and she figured that he didn’t have a tail but legs!


    She gasped as realization hit her. “I am in the human world!” She screamed out suddenly, cing her hand over her mouth.


    Ade’s lower abdomen clenched at the vivid memories of how everything had happened and she shivered.


    FLASHBACK TO THE UNDERWORLD


    Ade was weak, she had refused to eat and the concoction Abijam  gave her had affected her. Her entire world was upside down as she couldn’t cast a spell to free herself.  She could feel that her body was shutting down rapidly, her eyes closed slightly but she blinked severally. No! She didn’t want to die! Then Ade began to sing the song she sang on her birthday in her mind. She pleaded with the sea to grant her wish.


    At the same hour she had said the wish seven days ago, suddenly her tail became translucent.  Ade felt the emptiness and her eyes opened, her eyes widened when she saw that her body was different. It was more transparent! She couldn’t make out what was happening to her and she wanted to scream for help but her mouth was sealed


    Minutes clicked by and then Oceanus, na, Aztec, Arran and Azizi came into her room to see her and their jaws dropped when they saw Ade’s features. She was extremely translucent. na rushed to her child trying to reach out to her but she couldn’t feel Ade.


    “Ade, can you hear me?” na asked with a worry in her wide eye.


    All Ade could do was nod, Arran went to her and unbind the tools. “What did you do to yourself?!” Oceanus questioned in a high tone.


    Ade opened her mouth to speak but her voice failed her, she was confused. “Get Abijam!” Oceanus ordered no one in particr but Arran rushed out of the room.


    “How did you be like this?” na asked but no response came from Ade.


    “You can hear us right?” Azizi asked.


    Ade nodded again and they were stunned at her appearance.  “Don’t leave me Ade, I am so sorry for hitting you and I promise you that you won’t get married to someone you don’t love. Please take back your wish.” na pleaded.


    “Mother rx.. Ade-” Morrissey was interrupted.


    “Please stay with me.” na sobbed.


    “What is happening to me?” Ade asked but since they couldn’t hear her, so she got no response. Ade made an attempt to touch her mother’s cheeks to wipe her tears but she couldn’t feel anything. She was transparent! Abijam jaw droppedpletely when his gaze fell on her, he was stunned! All his years as a sea wizard he had never seen a translucent mermaid, it was like she was a spirit mermaid.


    “Abijam do something!” Oceanus ordered.


    The sea wizard tried several spells to revive Ade but nothing worked. He only realized that the special mermaid was leaving the underworld.


    “What is going on?” Oceanus asked.


    “Lord Oceanus, I am as confused as you are now.” Abijam mumbled with confusion on his expression


    “Confused?” na cried.


    “Yes it seems the sea has finally granted the princess wish.” Abijam said.


    Ade gestured to her family to help her out but they all stayed on a spot stunned by her new appearance.


    “The princess will leave our world soon.” Abijam added.


    na cried out. Now Ade couldn’t make out what the sea wizard was saying to her family anymore.


    “But.. you gave her concoction.” Azizi said, their words fading in Ade’s ears.This content ? N?v/elDr(a)m/a.Org.


    “Yes my princes, but the concoction was to weaken her so she could stay a bit longer and that’s why shested seven days.” He exined how the concoction worked.


    “What?!… So are you saying Ade is going to the human world?!” Murron snarled.


    “Forgive me my prince.” Abijam bowed in respect.


    “No.. no.. no” na said unsteadily when she noticed Ade’s disappearance from her tail.  “Please don’t leave me, Oceanus.” She begged tearfully.


    na couldn’t stop her child, they watched as Ade disappeared to the unknown world leaving just her sea-bud crown behind on her bed.


    “No!!” na screamed while Murron held her tightly. “My child!” She cried. They were all heartbroken! “Abijam bring my.. child back.” na held on to the sea wizard.


    “I am sorry my queen.” Abijam kept on apologizing  to the queen.


    “She is a little child, Oceana can’t survive in that world.. that wicked human world.” Oceanus said.


    “Please bring my child back, Abijam.” na pleaded in tears.


    “I am sorry queen na, there is nothing I can do to bring her back. All we have to do is give her our blessings and ask the sea to protect her in that world. She may never return back to our world.” The sea wizard said sincerely.


    And on hearing the sea wizard’s words, queen na fainted. “Mother! Wake up!”  The princes rushed to their mother and she was taken to her chambers.


    Ade was gone, the special mermaid left the under world to experience human life.
