the eye as they had started out. That's when the water along with other dark shadows

               and voices started to come after me more intensively.” “Wait? So you have heard our
               voices before?” She asked.


                   “Well I suppose you could say that. I’ve always felt at home here in the sea and have

               always been drawn to water. Some of the voices were familiar growing up but many
               were not. I met some later on in my teenly adulthood. But it was all still new to me. I
               had no idea what I was getting myself into. And no teacher to show me." Chellejary said.

               Neefrena thought on it but continued to hear the rest of Chellejary’s story.


                   “There was really no chatter of the world below in the deep blue.  Or any of your
               kind. Well our kind I suppose is proper to say now given the circumstances. I have

               always thought of myself as a cross bread in some way or form. Half fairy half
               mermaid. Because I have always felt a draw to the sky and sea. I feel the wings to fly

               but I also feel the fins to swim. The humans have always thought of mermaids and
               sirens as fantasy. Others real.  Some even try to live their lives as such to the best of
               their abilities as merpeople on land. There have been rumors of sightings of mermaids

               at times throughout the centuries. And even Alluring sirens to sing the pirates and
               sailors to shipwreck and draw them under to their doom. Some humans have claimed to

               have photos or videos, very few actually believed them. Though more are coming around
               the idea even if it's just fantasy. My girls and I started to get more involved in

               mermaids together as of late. We have always had the Merich since we were children.
               (The lady grew more intense in her gaze as she studied Chellejary's words)


                     The last few years I started hearing the Siren call. I thought it was just my mind
               playing tricks on me. It has been rare  for me to ever come out to the water or enjoy it

               long enough when I have gone. But hanging with my girls lately that’s kinda how I
               ended up here in the oceans… Sounds a bit fishy I know. But the waters have been

               calling me for years. And now they are the strongest they’ve ever been calling me,
               pulling me. It must be for a reason. Even the tide comes in high and tries to pull me out
               with it, each wave higher and stronger than the last pulling me out. If the Ocean and

               those who dwell in it are endangered then I must stay and fight. They are much a part
               of my family as the humans. My girls feel the same and that is why we are here. We
