Episode 3

We were still under water when a beautiful girl
came out and blew a horn. The sound of the horn
shook the whole building to its foundation.
I looked at Tracy and observed that she and her
friends were standing in a line.
The girls divided themselves into two straight lines.
About five girls including Tracy were standing at the
left side and five other girls were standing at the
right.
In the middle of the girls stood a throne, designed
with precious stones and many things.
I was still standing there when a huge mermaid. The
size of a big bus swam into the building.
Immediately her tail touched the ground, it became
two legs.
I looked at her closely and behold, she was the
prettiest thing I have ever seen. Her beauty
surpasses that of Tracy and the other mermaid girls.
Her human form was normall but her mermaid form
was very very big. In her hand was a trident, on her
head lay a crown. Her hair was so long that it was
touching the ground.
The whole girls bowed down while I stood still,
peeing on my body.
She came close to me, her eyes were green unlike
the rest mermaids that theirs were blue.
She held my face and looked into my eyes, I felt my
whole body shook under her cold touch. She left me,
walking to her throne and I bowed down before her.
Wait a minute, I didn’t mean to bow. She must have
used a dark power over me..
The queen sat down and the girls slowly stood up.
Queen: welcome to our world Diana!
She said and two things got me marveled. One was
her voice, they were the most tender and sweetest
voice I have heard both in real life and movies and
secondly, who told her my name?
Queen: you have been disturbing Tracy my daughter
for some time now, seeking to know the mystery
behind her beauty. Well I told her to bring you here
for you to see things for yourself. I have foreseen
your future, you will make a powerful and beautiful
mermaid. Take a look at yourself for example, you
are very beautiful and yet you haven’t been
converted to a mermaid. A little touch is all you
need and you shall blossom.
I looked at Tracy, she was smiling. I looked at the
other beautiful girls, some were smiling while
others were looking.
Queen: however, converting you into a mermaid is
your choice. We are not going to turn you into a
mermaid if you are against it. You have seen things
for yourself so far. You have seen how beautiful we
are. We can make you beautiful and powerful and
yes, you will really like it. We shall make you a god
among humans. All you need is to say yes.
This is the opportunity I have been waiting for, not
being a mermaid oo. Running out of this place and
never coming back.
Me: erm, I am going to think about it..
I said trying to be very wise. Though being very
beautiful is my top priority, being a mermaid is the
last thing I will do in the next life to come, not even
this life.
Queen: very good. Tracy, take her back to the shore.
Our meeting is about to start and humans should not
be around, only mermaids.
Thank God, thank goodness. Thank Baba God o.
Tracy came, gave me the same herbs to eat and in
no time, we were swimming back to dry land.
*****************************
DRY LAND
Tracy: make sure you think about it and be wise.
She said immediately we were back to dry land.
Tracy: I have to go now, see you in school
tomorrow.
She said and dived back into the water.
I turned round and dashed home with full speed.
Never will I come back to his place. Never will I
speak to Tracy again. It’s all over.
I said running home to meet my parents, my lovely
parents!
