"this is going to be fun" Vepar swam ahead of Adella and entered her cave to decorate her neck and look classy. This would be her first time going out without being scolded after her parents and she was more than excited. "Vepar , are you coming or not. I would leave you and just go". those words of her mom enhanced her into super speed and in not less than a minute, Vepar swam panting in front of Adella. The City of Thetia was extremely clean and beautiful and the little imp marvelled . She hadn't seen anything as beautiful as this before.

The caves were decorated with ruby and emerald and she wondered how the royal palace will look like. They entered the market place and lots of mermaids and mermans kept staring at her. This was the first time seeing her plus she was a breed

never seen before . "Welcome Adella, what would you like to order this time" an old merman spoke and Vepar stared at his features. "the usual Samson, this is my daughter I was talking about. Vepar this is Mr Samson. I always buy all my needed stuffs from him ". Vepar responded not. All she did was slowly swim closer and sniffed Samson who suddenly became uncomfortable. " Your face is so wrinkly. let me help you" she said as she touched and rubbed her index finger all over his face. Adella had no idea what was going on . She had warned her daughter not to practice magic out of the house. She paid less attention to that because the little imp sucked at magic . To her surprise, Samson no more had wrinkled falling face and gill. He looked young and all witnesses around gasped at her magic . Only a royal had a power of magic so who

was this little imp that Adella called her daughter . The frustrated mother realized their suspicion and pulled Vepar to her side. "go home this instant and speak to no one on the way. Go hurry" she whispered and a scared Vepar swam as fast as she could. She moved fast into the mist in the ocean till she sensed no one following her. " Why did mother ask me to go home, where exactly I'm 1?" she said to herself as she scanned her surrounding. A fresh scent of lavender filled her nostril and it seemed familiar to her. She wiggled her tail and moved forward to trace it. She kept on sniffing and sniffing till she reached a golden huge gate. Where is this place and why does it feel familiar, she thought to herself and moved closer to touch the gate. " step aside . who are you" a male merman spoke and she lifted her head to see him

sway above her. He had long blue hair with massive chest and a black tail. She had never seen a youth male imp before and her tail wiggled in excited which made him to chuckle. "What are you doing here strange looking girl. I have never seen you before and can you stop the shameless act of wiggling your tail" he said and stared at her in a scanning mode. it happens when I'm curious" she spoke and he brought his eye level to hers . who told you that lie, it only means your body yearns for a merman touch. Your body is curious about it". Vepar almost got choked by his words. he was such a pervert for teaching a youngster this. I'm too little to know this. try to be less a perv" her rebellious genes kicked in and he smiled. Something about her fascinated

him and he couldn't stop himself from smiling. go home. This is the royal treasury and it's forbidden for anyone to come close to the gate. You are pardoned but next time, I might not be the one guarding it" he cautioned her. "I uh well actually I'm lost " she finally blurted out and once again he chuckled. All divisions in the kingdom of Thetia was known to all mermaids and mermans ;so how could she be lost . Was she really an outsider. He wondered and stared at her beautiful features. In his whole years of existence he has never come across a gorgeous mermaid like this. He felt hypnotized.
