"Well, whoever is suppose to play, they have to know whatever 'our song' is. Seren, would you get my black and red tube top. please?"
Seren nodded and went to fetch her top. He came back down, handed Abel the top, and held up the towel so she could change.
"Okay I'm decent."
Seren lowered the towel. "You look like a real mermaid."
"I'm sure I look like one with just the tail."

"Well try to remember," Lugganath said as he paced around, "try to remember a song from your childhood. A song that your 'parents' sang to you."
Hmmm or maybe it is the song of something? Maybe the ocean or it's breeze? Aske thought to himself as he watched Lugganath pace around.

"Let me see it. Maybe if I hold it, something'll come to me," Abel said, holding her hand out for the flute.

"Here by all means take it." Lugganath said as he handed Abel the elegant flute. "If we can do something that can make this go along faster than please do it.
Or maybe it's something she hums? Does she hum? Aske continued to think while everyone else actually did something.

Abel held the flute to her lips and played a B flat. "No, that isn't right..." She adjusted the head joint and played the same note. That's better. She closed her eyes and played a song she'd never heard of, but it was so familiar.

Aske pulls himself out of his daze of thought and looks at Abel with confusion upon his face. "Where did you think of that?" He finally asked after several seconds of silence.

Abel lowered the flute and shrugged. "It just came to me when I closed my eyes. Would you guys like to see Atlantis?" she asked.

"Sure why not?" Aske said with a shrug. "I can't get anymore confused than I am already."
"Yes I would be honored to see the glorious utopia." Lugganath said as he gave a evil glare at Aske and his sarcasm.

"Then come on," she said, diving into a black orb.
"I'll stay with the pup," Seren said, sitting at the dining room table

"Well I suppose I shall go first" Lugganath said as he approached the orb. "I will see you on the other side." And with that he dived into the orb.
"Well good bye Seren." Aske said as he gave a wave to Seren and then Kota. "Good bye young one. We will return as soon as we can." And he followed Abel and Lugganath into the orb.

Abel floundered in the water. "Darn fin! Move!" She sighed.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten how to swim," a voice said from behind her.
"I've never had a fin before!" Abel snapped. "Who are you?"
"The name's Koga. Nickname's Aladdin. Now come on, you need a refresher course in swimming 101," he chuckled. "I can't believe you forgotten me." Koga grabbed Abel's hand.
"I'm waiting for someone," Abel said, pulling back.

Lugganath and Aske spurt from the portal to realize they were in water. Oh god what have I done! Aske's mind raced and heart started to pound as he held on to his oxygen. He tried to open his eyes to find Abel but the salt in the water burnt them with every movement of his eyelash.

"You brought a human with you?" Koga asked, confused.
"He's my friend," Abel said, using her arms to paddle over. "Hang on, Aske." She pushed him to the surface.
Koga laughed. "Excuse me for saying so, but that was a horrible attempt!" He grabbed her hand and pulled her to the surface. Abel picked a flower that looked like cotton candy and handed it to Aske. "Eat the blossom. It'll turn you into a merman...How the heck did I know that?"

Aske only making out slightly of what Abel had said grabbed the blossom and with his final breath devoured the plant head. He could breath now and he could see. "I thank you yet again Abel." Aske said with a bow of gratitude.
"Abel can he see me?" Lugganath asked as he looked upon the unfamiliar merman. "I am quite unfamiliar with merpeople."

"Now how about that lesson? Come on, Princess!" Koga pulled Abel back under the water. "Just kick your tail...That's it!"
Abel swam circles around Koga before swimming up to the surface. "All right, all right...show off."
"I don't know, Lugganath. He doesn't act like he can..."

"Well if he can't we need to be sure he doesn't discover me yet. We need to know if we can trust him fully." Lugganath said as he inspected the merman for signs of dishonesty.
"Well now that you are done with your little recap allow me to introduce myself." Aske said as he swam towards the merman. "I am Aske Katsumi." As he held out his hand for a friendly shake. He made sure he did not reveal to the merman that it was not just the three of them as he hoped the merman thought.

Koga looked at Aske's hand. He held out his own. "The name's Koga. You humans sure have strange ways of greeting someone," he said, swimming over to Abel. "So, why did you come back?"
"I have to find out how to change back into a human."
"Why?"
"You wouldn't understand, Fishboy. I have to see Queen Amaya," she said, swimming toward the palace.

"You may wish to be a little kinder to him Abel we are the guests after all." Lugganath whispered into her ear. "And there must be at least 100 of them here."
"Well Koga how does your kind greet one another?" Aske asked trying to ignore Abel. Please Abel do not anger them, I am tired of fighting.

Abel ignored both as she swam. "Hey, Koga, how did we know eachother before I was sent to the surface to live as a human?"
"We were...best friends, but the kingdom was invaded and you were sent away. A simple hello, Aske, that's all." Actually we were deeply in love, but it seems you've found someone else.

"Invaded?" Aske said as he tilted his head. "Invaded by what, who would or could possibly invade this underwater city?" He continued to follow as Lugganath watched over them behind them like a silent sentinel.
