Queen Melissa's pov.

I know my time is up, but I have to know who will succeed me before I die, great one.

I know Melissa that is why the spirit of the Sea has come to a conclusion that the one to succeed you will bare the mark of a half moon on her right shoulder in three days to come '

said the Sea goddess '

But goddess don't you think three days is too far to sustain me.

The spirit knows best, is what the goddess said before disappearing.

I know it not right for me say this but shantia my daughter is too arrogant and bossive to be the ruler of this kingdom and the Sea, and Shelia my second daughter does not show interest in the throne, she doesn't even behave like a royal that she is. At age 12 she broke the first rule of not going near the surface of the Sea, and since then she secretly goes there saying she loves to see the sun and Luna is just a baby she can't rule a whole kingdom, but just like the goddess said the spirit knows best.

Shantia's pov.

I swam back to my chamber after listening to the conversation between mother and goddess shemeli, I just know that am going to bare the mark of the half Moon in three days time, all I need to do is to prepare myself for that day

Wow I can't wait to be the crown princess am so happy , I quickly swam to my dark room I know you must be wondering why I have a dark room that is because that is were I practice my black magic I know it is forbidden in this kingdom but I have to because I need more power's to rule over every mermaid in this kingdom enough of telling you about my little secret. I quickly swam to the dark room to practice my magic.

Sheelia's pov.

Ooh God am Soo tired right now I just had the most wonderful time with the dolphins, we had a race and I won I just have to get back to the palace before mother worries her self to death. And I miss baby Luna too, omg I forgot am suppose to take care of baby Luna, I quickly swam to the palace and swam straight to baby Luna's chamber on getting there I heard Luna's loud voice and two servant standing beside her restless.

What is going on here I asked no one in particular

My princess, princess Luna has been crying since morning you left and has refused to stop

What!! Since morning, I think she needs her mother, I quickly carried Luna and swam to mother's chamber.

What happened to Luna, sheelia and why is she crying said mother

I don't know mother they said she has been crying since morning.

What do you mean by they said sheelia were have you been, you were suppose to take care of Luna said mother.

I know mother and am sorry but I was out racing with the dolphins

Oh sheelia when will you stop this childish act of yours said mother

Mother placed Luna close to her chest and began to pamper her instantly Luna stopped crying, I knew she just needed her mother I joked while mother just chuckles

I excused my self and swam back to my chamber to have some rest

Shantia's pov.

Today marks the second day I just have to be a little patience for tomorrow, I have to go check up on mother I swam to her chamber and saw she was still sleeping with Luna besides her, why did Luna sleep in mother's chamber last night I swam close to mother's bed tapped her a little on her shoulder and she woke up.

Good morning mother

Morning shantia, how was your night said mother.

It was good mother, but why is Luna here is she sick

No my dear, she just needed to be close to her mother said mother.

Ok mother just came to check on you, I'll live now.

I swam back to my chamber and ordered for my breakfast, today I plan on staying indoors till tomorrow when the half Moon appears on my right shoulder hahahaha am Soo happy

I turn and saw the servant looking at me like am some kind of a lunatic.

What the heck are you looking at you fool I shouted at her

Am sorry my princess she said and quickly bawled her head

Get lost you annoying thing I shouted and she bawled before leaving.

Hmmm don't allow anyone spoil your mood for you crown princess to be hahahaha I laughed devile.

After a few minutes that annoying servant brought my breakfast.

My princess here is your food please, she said still with her head bawled

And what is that, I asked in a rude manner

Crabs your highness

Mmmmh, I love Crabs I said beaming with smiles

I quickly grab the plate of Crabs and began to devour it, I looked up and saw the servant still there looking at me

Why are you still here, I asked in an irritating manner

Am sorry my princess, she said and swam off

Gosh this girl wants to get on my nerves, I breathed and continued with my food

Sheelia's pov.

I swam to the dinning room to have me and mother's food when I heard the servants gossiping about shantia

That princess shantia is very rude and arrogant, said one of them

Yeah sometimes I have doubt if she really is the Queen's daughter, another said

So who's daughter is she, I said and immediately they saw me they bawled their heads

I asked a question you know and don't you think I deserve an answer

We are sorry your highness but it not what you think

Don't worry I understand, I know how shantia is, but what if she had heard it her self then what do you think would have happen.n g

We're sorry princess, they all said at once

It's ok but don't let this repeat it self again

Yes princess

Get me my and the Queens food

They brought the food and I swam to mother's chamber, on getting there I saw she was already awake

Mother I called swimming closer to her

Sheelia my dear how are you

Am fine mother I brought your food

Ooh thank you sheelia

I gave mother her food and swam to my room to eat my Crabs yammy!!

The third day

Shantia's pov.

I woke up with smiles all over my face and I know you know why

I quickly swam to the front of my mirror to have a look at my mark and to my horror I couldn't find it

What is happening I asked no one in particular in frustration

I have to asked mother about it maybe it appears in the afternoon or evening, I said getting impatient

I swam to mother's chamber

Queen Melissa's pov.

I was awaken by alarm, I looked bedside me and saw Luna sleeping soundly beside me

I wanted to get up when something caught my attention, I took a better look and it was the mark of the half Moon on her right shoulder

What is the meaning of this, does this mean Luna is the chosen one I said with fear visible in my voice

Yes Melissa she is, I heard the voice I wanted to hear, I quickly turn and true it was goddess shimile

Great one Luna can't be the chosen one, she is just a baby

The sirens will use this to their advantage to rule over us, you know Luna is a baby and can't use her powers, how could the spirit choose Luna I said in fear and frustration

Calm down Melissa the spirit knows all this and more but still choose her because they know what will happen before it happens

Luna will be in safe hands until she is of age to come back and accomplish her destiny

What do you mean com.... I didn't complete my statement when she disappeared

Mother, mother, mother I heard shantia's voice

What is wrong shantia, why do you sound like that

Mother at what time is the mark suppose to appear, she asked breathing heavily

What are you talking about shantia

I heard you when goddess shimile was talking to you the half Moon is suppose to appear today but I can't see it, she asked rushing my words

It has appeared, I simply stated

But I can't seem to find it, she stated in haste looking at her self

It here, I stated pointing at Luna

She looked at Luna and when she saw the mark, she became shocked and immediately replaced it with an angry look.
