Location: At the Bottom of the Sea:
"Where is my wonderful daughter of mine?" ?Novia just came home from watching a waterhorse race and listening to the great concert of the German Nix.
The Voilin was beautiful, each time the Nix stroked the strings it made her grin.
It had been the first time in a long time that she and her husband had went on a date , and it was a perfect one she nodded.
"Sweetheart, you better come here" He Yelled outside the entrace to there seacave.
"Meow, " Scales was the pet mercat of the family, but it was Mirana's reposneablity to feed and take care of him, only he was still hungry that could only mean one thing.
''Now why did Mirana not feed you, well lets fix that." She smiled own at Scales and looked into his red eyes and yellow pupils.
''Sweetheart you need to see this now!" He called out, she put her webbed finger up and said "One moment" to Scales and gentlyey floated out the seacave opening to there little seaweed yard and the rest a desert of seacaves and seaweed and sand, after all it was the bottom of the ocean.
Legs aching , hands hurting, it had been a long ride home on there waterhorse into town a few swims away, since they did live in the middle of the desert, and brought in small businesses by letting racers board there waterhorses.
"Sweetheart in here!" he yelled, judging by the sound of his voice he was mad, he was always mad at something cause work was hard on him and his family mining seacaves for gold to make ends meet but he was the greatest best friend she could ask for, that is why she married him.
"Coming, " She quickly ran in her green moss dress she bought for her date, however it was getting seaweed all over it now, oh well she thought.
It took moments but she made it to the sea cave opening where inside was stolls for the waterhorses they board, only when she went in, something was very wrong.
" Please tell me this is not happening." He threw his webbed hands in a fist out of frustration and kicked the sandy ground causing sand to float into his face and hers.
"Cough , Cough, dont tell me she did it again?" Novia knew what had happened, but she didnt want to face she could't trust her own daughter.
"She stole Brook, " He sighed.
" At least we still got Backhasten, but he needs to be put away he has had a long day out in the city." She nodded looking at her white waterhorse that was sleeping already on the he seaweed.
"I think he beat you to it, haha" He laughed.
"was that a laugh I just heard?" Novia smiled at him.
" Is it ok if it was?" he was interrupted by Backhastens snoring.
" haha , ok now are you ready?" She asked standing at two feet tall firmley and him at two foot one, putting her webbed hand on his shoulder.
"I am never ready for this, why do we have to?" He sighed.
"Because she is our daughter, and who knows what trouble the boys have gotten into ." She smiled back at him.
" Oh dear, I didnt even think of that, All we did was said you could go see the concert for Siren Singers if she babysat the boys while we went on a date, what was so hard about that I dont understand ?" He smiled laughing at the snoring of his waterhorse.
" What was so hard about you not obeying your father when you went to the surface to explore the wonders of being a teenage Guije and pulling a prank or two oh wait that is how you meant me , until you met me you were respected, and didnt your parents tell you stay away from her, she is a prankster and always in trouble but you had to marry me anyway?" She laughed and he chuckled.
"Fair point, and you sure didnt live up to your name Novia, aka Sweetheart?? more like pranker of "He stopped.
" haha, wow you really had to go there Mr Paz peaceful." She laughed.
"I cant help it if my folks gave me a powerful name?"He pinched her in the arm.
"Hey, you did not just do that." She pinched him on his growing mossy beard.
"And you did not just do that, oh Novia what are we going to do with our teenage daughter and boys?"He sighed.
"Were going to go up there right now and ground them from the surface for four weeks and no siren singers concert."She put her elbows on her hips.
" So sure of your self, you sure it will work?"He asked.
"One can only try, ok sorry Backhasten time to wake up you can rest after we yell at our kids!"She smiled but the horse did not naying and snoring.
"I know your faking it and if you are then I may forget those special treats that you like when I go to the store!" the horse sat right up on all fours.
"Wow!"He stood in awe.
"And that is why Girls rule and men drool." She smiled petting Backhastens mane and getting moss out of it.
"I dont know about that."He sighed but knew he would not win this argument.

Shatha (Pronunciation Shaah-tha) means Fragrant smell, aromatic in Arabic and is the mom of Sanna.

Sanna (Pronunciation San-nah) means Art or Brilliance in Arabic, she is the daughter of Shatha and Aban.

Aban (Pronunciation Ah-bahn) means water in Persian and is father to Sanna and husband to Shatha.

Hakim (Pronunciation hah-Keem) means Wise or Insightful in Arabic and is part of the searchparty for Sanna.


Aban heard a birds scatter and turned his hippo head around.
It was just birds spooked fleeing from the tree.
Aban took his surroundings in, the smell of fresh grass wet his appetite, this was no time to eat.
San-nah his only daughter had been missing for two nights, his wife Shatha beside her self and not eating.
Why did someone have to take Sanna? Why would someone do this to his family?
It was just only the three of them, peaceful Merfolk that come on land as hippos but only to get something special to eat.
There was this one time Aban's stomach got the better of him and he kept getting bigger and bigger. It was not his fault he didn't like Shatha's home cooked seaweed meals, but the grass was calling to his hippo stomach.
He taught Sanna to be careful when on the surface, make the humans fear you if you have to, but they will hurt you if you don't show them your more strong then they are.
Footsteps approached, interrupting his thoughts. Someone was coming closer. The footsteps were big making the ground tremble in fear,Aban turned around ready to take down anything, after all he was a hippo.
The object came bolting out of the bushes and stopping.
It was his wife, who looked like a fat hippo at the moment, but she still was beautiful, he kept telling himself, do not tell her she looks fat, lie!
"Any luck?" Shatha's voice hissed as if she had been screaming all night.
He guessed she was screaming hoping Sanna would hear it, after all him and his wife had not been home underwater in two days both there voices were a bit on the horse side.
" No, dead end, still searching, Hakim and the others will find her I promise somehow she is out there we will bring her home." He sighed with a tear coming down his bulk cheek and jaw.
"What was that?" She turned around quickly,only it was not a bird this time, it was a human watching in the bushes.
"Dont ! he's harmless!"Shatha replied warning her husband knowing he had a hot temper but he had ever right to his daughter was missing.
"Leave us alone you fifty human !!!" Aban yelled but to the human all he could hear was roaring and he knew he had just made a couple of hippos angry.
"من فضلك لا تأكل لي، أتوسل إليكم، رجاء، ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! أتوسل إليكم، وأنا لpleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee الشباب!!!!!!!!!! pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee، لا kille لي!!!! من فضلك!!!!!!!!!!! 1111" the human boy was about in his teens screamed in Arabic and ran like he had just seen a ghost.
"Aban!"she yelled.
"He had it coming." Aban hissed.
Shatha's nostirls made a nosie of disgust, and anger.
Would they find there daughter in time?
"I found blood you have to see this come quickly Shatha , Aban!" someone called out.
"That is Hakim, quickly!" Aban ran threw the bush running as fast as he could.
"you found Sanna my brilliance ?"she bolted behind him thought the bush fleeing as fast as she could.

Modern day Florida, Miami
It was just a normal day for Riley, nothing but boring.
Riley was only 13 years old but he was always with his dad who was policeman Riley however always felt a bond to the sea, like sometimes he could almost hear the fish speaking to him.
He was standing on the beach one day and thought he saw and heard someone say forgive me, but his dad told him he was crazy.
His dad hated the sea but he use to be a life guard it never made any sense.
He did try to ask him about it over dinner many times, Carly his mom replied, "eat your greens" but that still was not a answer more of a annoyance.
A few days past since that day and he found someone who contacted him threw Facebook his name Riley could;t even say right.
Farquar, was how it was spelled but how was it said?
Wondering what it meant he went to Google and typed it in, coming up with a baby name site and the meaning.
Farquar means very dear one in Scottish and is pronounced Fearchar.
Scottish, he was Scottish his dad was not but his mom was, his grandma use to tell him she was a Scot.
There was also the fact every time his dad saw the Scotland flag he would get very angry and say a name he googled many times and it was also Scottish.
It was not a swear name but a women s name, Isla named after some Scottish lake and pronounced Eye-la.
Thinking of the past events of Isla, he clicked the message from Farquar and read.

Ooooh, the plot thickens! good job!
