Intro
Mermaids are a tale as old as time. Sea creatures with the upper body of a human and the lower part somewhat of a fish. Beautiful species that live underwater and compare to no other. Many regard them as fake or just a bedtime story, but there are a few dedicated to searching and exposing their existence.
Mira and Rumi are pirates just like most other sea searchers, looking for treasures and mermaids- but really treasures.
They had a secret that they told no one, their secret? They knew a mermaid personally. Zoey, the black haired, blue tailed mermaid that was nothing but trusting and kind to them. When they were out hunting for treasure and she fell right into their trap she didn't scream or pleaded, just laughed and wanted to get to know them. They talked until Mira and Rumi slept and the next day Zoey was gone. But since then the mermaid would find the two of them every so often and that's how they learned about Zoey's life.
Zoey was an adult mermaid by their standards, though such concepts don't exist to mermaids. She was adventurous and trusting and always seemed to be followed by a gold glimmer which she explained to be Guest, her best friend and chaperone to help get her out of situations. Zoey would rave about Aaliyah and what the girl has done for her well into the night before diving back in the water when she was called at a frequency they couldn't hear.
One night, Zoey was trying to convince Aaliyah to meet her friends, the pirates she so often speaks about.
Oh come onnn Lili, they'll love you! I've been raving about you on MerTalk and to them, that's gotta account for something! Zoey and Aaliyah were sitting on a rock talking. It had been 12 days since she last saw Rumi and Mira and could smell they'd be near today. This time she needed Aaliyah and her friends to meet.
