History:

Not all those who are enslaved wear chains many would think that being a crowned prince I would have more freedom than any other. But the truth is I was as much of a slave as any of the slaves my father kept. How rude of me here I go running my mouth and I haven’t even introduced myself. My name is Nereus Sitnalta first of my name crowned prince of Aethendar and future ruler and god of the seas and yadda yadda yadda I much rather be called Ner not like anyone ever listens to what I have to say anyway. Even before the day I was born my entire life was planned out for me I was to trained to be the best leader I could possibly be , Marry a suitable woman, and produce another heir and have the process repeat again. What no one took into account was the simple fact that my father is an immortal being as a matter of fact he’s divine do you know how hard it is to kill a god? I’ll tell you it’s impossible. Sure as a child I would dream of the day that I was the one to sit on the throne having people bowing to me worshiping at my altar not to mention all the power that came with it. But as I grew up I wanted more out of life I wanted to be free. but I am getting a ahead of myself I should start from the beginning.

I was born on the first day of the summer solstice from the moment I was born I was the light of my mother life. I would have said parents but I’m not even sure if my father was around for my birth or if he really cared much beyond the fact that he produced an heir. Father was always busy with some duty or another not leaving much time for parenting. As a child I didn’t notice much I had a doting mother and plenty of servants to attending to my every whim. Much of my childhood was kept busy with preparations of the duties I would one day inherit from my father. I hated every second of it and like a normal child I would tend to find myself in trouble more often than not. I may have inherited my father’s legacy but it was my mother’s spirit I inherited from her. My mother was incredible and I loved her up until the day she disappeared. No one knew what happened to her there were rumors she swam away with a lover from beyond the city walls other say she swam to the surface and never returned. I know that my mother must be dead because there was no way she would would ever leave me. From then on an emptiness grew inside of me an emptiness only a child who lost a mother could feel. Of course my father remarried as was expected of him but I couldn't love her like my mother. Dont get me wrong she wasn't bad to me she treated me very well I loved her as much as I could she just wasn’t my mother. But as a future king it was unbecoming of me to let such things affect me so outright instead I suffered in silence.

Much of my life was lived in this fashion several years and several siblings later I had grown into a strong young man already mastering several water magic techniques, learning the history of how my father united the sea dragons and the merfolk and becoming increasingly bored with my life inside the Palace walls. Everyday I was told how much I had to live up to my father and everyday I wanted more for myself. It was on one of these days that I snuck out of the Palace and into the city in disguise and spent hours wandering about soaking as much of the city as I possibly could. It was just becoming dark when I stumbled upon a scene that would change my life forever. A child slave had looked a guard in his eyes and the guard struck him with such force the child fell to the ground. He was about to strike again when I cause a blast of water to knock him back and away from the slave. He didn’t recognize who I was and quickly charged after me in an attempt to attack me. I dodged him and he fell back again. This time I disrobed my head and the guard stayed on the ground begging my forgiveness. I attempted to help the child up and in fear the child swam away from me.

Soon we were surrounded by many guards ushering me back to the Palace and as I swam back other slaves would turn away from me in fear as well as some of the subjects. My father had somehow created a kingdom who were afraid of the royals and this was his true legacy. Fear and slavery. I wanted no part of becoming king from that day on. I was brought before my father and he gave me some long lecture about my duties, and not leaving the Palace walls. To be honest I don’t remember anything he had said the only thing I could think about was the look in the eyes of those I past. As time passed in the Palace I couldn’t shake the what I had seen, I dismissed any slaves that attended to me I could no longer bare how dead behind the eyes they looked and I quickly learned how to take care of myself. Less slaves meant less people to watch my every move since I still continued to leave the Palace walls only I had become much better at it and I wouldn’t allow myself to be caught so easily again.

A few years had passed and things went by as they did I would sneak out and stop slaves from being mistreated where I could and a few times I would venture above the sea onto a small island where I would drag myself out of the water onto the beach and allow the waves to crash against me as I just sat in the sun. The surface was so different than my father had said I would come to really enjoy my time above the sea and it was here that I discovered something that my father never told us about since it was strictly forbidden to leave the water let alone go on land. I had fallen asleep on the beach when I was woken up by a strange sensation coming from my tail the tide had apparently gone out leaving me to dry in the sun. I watched as my tail disappeared and in it’s place a pair of legs emerged. At first I was shocked I had no idea what to do with them and I tried to wiggle them to get myself back to the ocean but they were new to me and I didn’t go anywhere. I managed to get myself from the beach back into the water and in a few seconds I had fins again.

In that moment a new plan emerged It was clear to me that if I was going to disappear from my father’s rule I would have to walk away. My sporadic visits to the surface became more frequent any chance I could I would travel to that island and practice standing up right. On my way back from one such adventure I was spotted sneaking back into the Palace by one of the guards who quickly told my father and just like before I was brought before him and just like before I ignored everything he said. Until the last sentence when he ordered one of the Slave Soldiers to become my bodyguard and personal babysitter. From then on I was followed by him wherever I went. He was a half merfolk half dragon a common mixture for the slaves my father had bred to be apart of his elite kingsguard. They possessed abilities from both races and were sworn to protect the royal family by any means necessary. I hated him no matter where I went or what I did he always found me. He was around every corner and I knew if I was to leave this life I would have to somehow get him to abandon me or find a way to get him to come along both of which seemingly impossible.

After a few weeks of futile escape attempts it dawned on me that Andros as my supposed guardian was called was bound to do as I say no matter the request. This was something I had forgotten in anger and in my many attempts of leaving the Palace. I awoke late one evening when much of the Palace had been asleep and I slipped out the front door only to be faced with Andros again. He protested to my getting up and leaving but he wasn’t doing anything to stop me since laying his hands on me could be punished by death. I easily made it out of the Palace like I used to and headed to my normal exit site in the wall that surrounded the city. Andros protested the entire way. I informed him of my plan of leaving entirely and he threaten to head back and tell my father. “Andros the only duty that you have is to protect my life and that can be done from anywhere. No where does it say that you are bound to protect my life only in the city. Besides you can consider this a royal command leave with me tonight and we will never return.” That is exactly what I said to him and all it took for him to quit his protesting and follow me up onto the mainland. Before the sun was up we were both standing on our legs and making our way inland as far from the sea as possible.

The first week was the roughest becoming accustomed to our new bodies as well as learning to steal what we needed starting with clothing. On the shore it seemed that the land dwellers were offended by the organs that hung between our legs. I also had to continue to remind Andros not to refer to me by my title this proved to be more difficult than anything many times he would slip up and call me “Your highness” or “My prince” After a month he had gotten a little better we both had learning to become a land dweller was something that we both became accustomed to and as long as we remained out of seawater my father couldn’t find us. We would both still swim of course but we kept it to lakes and ponds something that my father still had power over but would never notice. Andros and I traveled for several hundred years and as time went on had become very good friends we met many interesting characters from all across the lands. By now many back home would think us to be dead and my sister would be the one to ascend the throne or so I thought.

One day after Andros and I had conned a group of drunken mean out of all their gold I felt a pulse of energy pass through my body I ran outside and felt very dizzy I fell to my knees and there on the ground right in front of me laid my father’s symbol of power his trident. At first I didn’t know if I was hallucinating I shook my head and it remained there. I got up and turned the other direction and there it was floating in front of me. I tried running from it in the opposite direction and it followed me. I knew what this meant but I didn’t want it I actually thought I had become free of it. I thought if I didn’t think about it and if they thought I was dead I wouldn’t be responsible. A pit grew in my stomach upon the realization that my father was dead I had no choice but to take up the mantle it was my destiny and I was bound by blood no matter how far I ran I could never outrun what was meant to be. I reached out and accepted my destiny and a new power surged through me in that moment I was connected to everything in the sea I could hear them and feel them and I knew what I had to do.

Andros watched the entire ordeal and realized what had just happened and we both knew that we would both have to return to our former lives. But I couldn’t do that I couldn’t force him to go back which is why he became the first slave that I freed. I let him know from here on out he would be free to make his own choices and live his own life but he chose to leave my side he had fallen in love and so I returned to the sea for the first time. Using my newly acquired powers I opened a portal into the castle and was met by my sisters and many of my council members. There was a huge celebration in my honor and it was at this celebration that I announced my plan to unite all the different merfolk across the eight oceans as well as free all the slaves. From here on out our society will no longer be divided among ourselves but united under my rule as one Nation. Many of the slaves chose to stay in the current positions but from now on they would be paid for their services.

The unity proved to be harder to achieve than expected many of the other merfolk across the oceans didn’t trust me because of the mistakes my father made but in time they came to see it from my point of view knowing that the only way our society could grow would be if we were all joined. My time spent on land brought me a whole new perspective all the land dwellers were divided causing wars and mayhem and the only way we could truly be strong is to be strong together so now all who I rule over are freed including myself and soon it would be time to open communications between our world and the world of those who walk on land no longer will Merfolk be forbidden to leave the sea there is an entire world up there and they deserve to see it as well.
