Naida awoke with a jolt and found arms around her. She sighed and leaned back against Jeremy listened to him mumbling soothingly to her. He hadn’t left her side since the incident upstairs where she had turned into a dragon. She didn’t know what the full extent of either the dragon form or Jeremy’s constant presence meant, but she was bound to find out.
She lay in Jeremy’s arms and thought about how her calm had come back after the dragon form had burst from her. She knew that it had something to do with each other, but she didn’t know what.
Sighing, she slipped carefully from Jeremy’s arms and left him a note telling him that she might not be back in time for the meeting, and she had to go to the mermaid palace and find out what was wrong with her. She kissed him gently on the lips and ran through the pearl curtain, diving into the water, before he could have a chance to wake up.
She swam quickly past Okeanos with a mere shake of her head and a wave, knowing she had at least an hour to swim before she reached the palace. She felt the water behind her move and Okeanos came up beside her. She sighed and grabbed onto his fin, whispering through the water where she wanted to go. He didn’t ask questions, but swam faster than she could have ever imagined swimming.
Half an hour later, she swam through the front door of the palace with a wave back to Okeanos, who would wait for her until she returned. She swam through the halls and saw the mermaids bow at her presence. She made it to the empty throne room and looked up at the throne where her father had last sat. It was covered in kelp and barnacles like it hadn’t been sat in for years. And maybe it hadn’t.
She sighed and swam into the library, finding the book she wanted and busying herself looking for what she wanted. It hadn't taken the librarian long to figure out she was there and he came over. He was old, six or seven hundred which meant he looked to be about sixty-five, with waist length gray hair and eyes the shade of green like that of new kelp.
“Your highness, how may I help you in your search today? Is there anything particular you are looking for?”
Augustus, his name was Augustus. He had been here longer than her father had been king. “Augustus, yes, what would cause a Siren to loose her calming abilities, come into her dragon form, and then gain her calming abilities back?”
Augustus frowned and took the book gently from her, flipping through the pages until he found the one he wanted. “If the Siren is royalty and meant to be on the throne, she will go through a trial of horrors until she takes her place on the throne.”
He looked at Naida like he knew exactly what was going on. It was her worst fears coming to life, and she had had to have some old man tell her. She looked down at the book and read through the pages, turning them over and over again. “Does the mermaid who takes the throne have to rule from the deep? Can she have an advocate on the throne while she’s above?”
“The ruler of our people rules from wherever she or he is most at home. You father was most at home here. Your grandmother was most at home amongst the Land Walkers. If you choose to take the throne, you will rule where your heart is. Where is your heart, Princess?”
Naida tilted her head to the side and looked at Augustus. She shook her head and closed her eyes. Where was her heart? She thought of the cozy cavern back at BE and Jeremy asleep in their bed. Their bed, not her bed. She opened her eyes and smiled at Augustus, kissing him gently on the cheek. “Thank you, Augustus, you’ve been more help than you can imagine.”
Naida swam quickly through the halls and into the empty throne room yet again. She swam up to the main throne and brushed a hand over it, causing all the things that had grown on it over the last three years to fall away, leaving the throne its beautiful gold and diamond beauty.
Naida took a deep breath and sat onto the throne, gasping as the power flowed from her into the throne and lit the entire room, spreading through the halls of the palace and making everything brighter than it had ever been. She heard the cries from the guards just as the crown appeared on her head and the trident of power appeared in her hand, causing her to smile wider. She looked at the trident and it struck, becoming an amulet that fit snuggly around her neck.
The guards, as well as the other thousand merpeople, came swimming into the palace to find their princess had finally taken her throne. Everyone bowed low, singing the song of the merpeople in a beautiful chorus, calling to all their animal familiars. The wide ceiling of the throne room opened to reveal the beautiful sun filled water over head, everywhere quickly filling with sea creatures of every shape and size.
She raised her hand and all was silent. “I have taken my throne, but I cannot rule my people properly from this palace. I have too many bad memories of these halls, but I am easily found where I will be staying. Everyone knows of the ocean entrance to Bryar Enterprises, that shall be where you find me.”
“Yes, your majesty.” All the voices echoed around the palace as Naida swam from the throne and out the door, feeling the hands of her people rub against her tail. She knew that there was something she was forgetting. She stopped as she spotted Augustus and remembered, turning back to her people. “My father’s laws are to be abolished. They shall all be destroyed by the magic we hold dear.”
She swam back up to the throne and pushed it over, pulling the bottom of it out. She removed a chest and laid her hand against it, opening it with the magic inside her. She pulled a black bound book out and tossed it to Augustus. “My grandmother’s laws have been hidden all these years because she knew of my father’s corruption. We shall obey the rules she set forth for us. Make it known to all our people.” She moved the throne back up and began to swim back through the halls.
“All hail Queen Naida! Hail! Hail! Hail!”
Naida left the palace to cheers of her name coming from the lips of the followers she loved so much. She found Okeanos and smiled at him. “How about a race, old friend?”
He looked quizzically at her, but took off. She smiled and swam after him, faster than he could have ever hoped to move. She stopped at the entrance and waited a few minutes until he showed up. “You owe me lunch.”
She smiled and swam through the cave entrance to Bryar Enterprises and her home. Before she even got to the opening she could hear the voices of others on the other side, looking into the water filled opening. “Come on, Bill, you don’t know where the Palace is. For all you know it could be farther away than you have air in that tank.”
“I have to try, Frank. She’s my best friend. What if something else happens to her?”
“At least let me go. I don’t breathe, so there’s no chance of me dying. That and I’m a dragon and can swim relatively well.”
Arguing about whom would take the plunge began to break out and Naida smiled. She looked down at her lack of clothing and touched the trident at her neck, making a flowing blue dress of the finest silk appear on her body. It clung to every inch of her body and made it obvious that she wasn’t too fond of undergarments. She began to swim up to the hole and felt her fin turn to legs, guarders in place where they would have been if she had put them on above the water.
She took a deep breath and began to walk along the incline out of the water, feeling the cool air around her as her head came out of the water, completely dry. She continued out of the water, and still no one noticed her. She stood, ankle deep in water, and watched as they gestured toward the ocean entrance, but never looked that way.
Jeremy seemed to be the only one not fighting, so he was the first to notice Naida standing in the water, looking more ethereal than she had in all the years he had known her. He hit Bill who growled and looked at him. “What now, Jeremy?”
Jeremy gestured to the water, causing Bill, Frank, and Rick to look at her. She stood there, blue silk dress clinging to all the right places, guarders showing slightly under the material, gold and sapphire crown on her head, and gold trident on her neck, and they said nothing. “Come on, boys, I know one of you has something to say.”
“What happened to you, Naida?”
“So eloquent of you, Billy.”
“No, no, I mean … Even I have a boner looking at you.”
“Boner looking at who?” Alex came around the corner and stopped dead in his tracks. He looked Naida up and down before shaking his head. He looked down and grumbled. “What the fuck?”
“What’s wrong?” Naida took a step toward the guys and they all shook their heads laughing. “What’s so funny now?”
“Have you looked in a mirror, baby?” Jeremy walked over to Naida and took her arm gently. “You are kind of erection worthy right now.”
Naida frowned and allowed him to lead her to a mirror. She gasped as she saw her reflection and leaned forward to make sure it wasn’t a joke. She was as she had been when she was a child, before her father killed her grandmother for the throne.
Her hair was still the mass of curls it had always been, but it was now no longer in descript, but white as freshly fallen snow. Her skin was only a few shades darker. Her eyes were still like spring skies, but without the turbulence and turmoil they had held before. She was her grandmother’s grandchild finally. Beautiful and powerful, everything her father wanted her to be.
She shook her head and stepped back from the wall, walking quickly into the open of the cavern. “No, no, no.” She put her hands over her eyes and stood in the middle of the room, close to hysterics.
Jeremy walked over to her and took her arms gently. “What’s wrong, Naida? You’re beautiful. You shouldn’t be upset about it.”
She jerked quickly away from him like he had tried to bite her. “Don’t you get it, Jeremy? This is what they wanted. They didn’t want me to rule. They wanted my grandmother back. Why else would I look so much like her the day she became queen?”
All the guys exchanged glances but gestured for Jeremy to take this one. “Naida, baby, did you ever think that you might have looked like her before she became queen as well?”
Confusion flitted through Naida’s mind and she shook her head. “Dad, Bill, Alex, Frank, get out now.”
They all looked at each other and then looked at Jeremy, who merely nodded. They left, but made sure that Jeremy knew to call if something was wrong.
Naida wasted no time in wrapping her arms around Jeremy’s neck and kissing him. “Every time I have a power surge within myself, I go a little crazy. I start thinking irrationally and weird things happen.”
“What do you want me to do about that, Nay?” Jeremy smiled, almost like he knew the answer.
Naida returned the smile because she couldn’t help it and gestured to the new body she had been given. “I want you to tell me if this body is as good as the old one. It looks too fragile, like it might break.”
Jeremy smiled and picked Naida up gently, caring her over to the bed and setting her down. He leaned over her and kissed her. “Wouldn’t do for that new body of yours to break while we were doing something important, would it?”
Naida smiled and shook her head as he started to remove her weapon laden guarders, throwing them onto a neat pile at the foot of the bed. He ran his hands along the silk of the blue dress as he moved his hands up her body, bringing the dress with him, pulling it gently over her head and adding it to the pile. He slipped his own jeans off and tossed them in a corner before moving his hands gently over her body.
His finger brushed the trident at her neck and he shuddered. “What the fuck was that?”
Naida froze, bringing her hand to the trident. She didn’t feel anything but the familiar power there. “What did you feel?”
“It was like water rushing all over my body in a wave of … I don’t know how to describe it. It wasn’t at all unpleasant.” Jeremy touched it again and a shiver ran down his spine. “Pleasure. Immense pleasure.”
Naida felt the tears well in her eyes and shook her head to clear her thoughts, sitting up and looking at him. “I don’t know whether to be excited over that or terrified.”
“What does it mean, Naida? Why would that be something that terrifies you?”
“When a merperson takes their place on the throne, they have to find a spouse, a mate, someone to spend eternity with. The trident chooses that mate for the new ruler. Most of the time they have their people touch the trident and whoever has a reaction of pleasure will be the one meant for the ruler. It terrifies me because it’s a permanent thing. The death of one brings down the death of the other. And …” Naida stopped, not wanting to continue.
“What, Naida? So far, it doesn’t sound all that bad to me. An eternity with you sounds like the most amazing thing that could happen to me.”
Naida fought the sob threatening to choke her and ran her hand down his cheek. “You’re werewolf, Jeremy. What would you think if I told you that being bound to me by the trident meant you had to also add a tail and the ability to breathe underwater to that list?”
Jeremy seemed to think about it for a moment, his face consumed in utter concentration. He looked at her and sighed. “For you, I would add anything on top of the lycanthropy, Naida. You should know that by now.”
Naida sobbed and wrapped her arms around him. The trident was trapped between their skin and Naida screamed, feeling the bound already beginning to form. She hadn’t meant for it to be now. She had wanted some time to think about eternity with Jeremy. She could have dealt with an eternity with Jon, but she hadn’t seen Jeremy for years. Then again, she hadn’t known Jon that long when she married him.
She could hear Jeremy scream and pulled away, watching as his legs became covered in blue scales the same shade as his eyes. He looked up at Naida, holding his hand out to her, and she took it, not knowing what to do.
As soon as her hand touched his, his grip tightened and he screamed again, the tail bursting forth from him in a dizzying wave. Naida fell to her knees beside him, feeling her own mermaid being called, and began to gently pull him toward the ocean opening.
She stopped before she reached the curtain and moved to sling him over her shoulder, not knowing she possessed that much strength. She walked through the curtain and dropped him into the hole with a splash, following after him.
She felt the cool wash as her own tail was brought forth and smiled at him as he looked at her. “That fucking hurt. Granted, it wasn’t as bad as shifting into a wolf, but ow!”
Naida laughed at the shocked expression on Jeremy’s face as he realized he was talking underwater. She swam over to him and kissed him gently. “It hurts more when there’s not water. You’ll get used to it.”
“I guess I’ll have too, won’t I?”
Naida nodded and swam back up to the hole, walking back into the cavern on her own two feet. She turned and held her hand out to Jeremy. “I’ll have to help you learn how to do that on your own. Until then, we’ll have to dry you off to make your feet come back.”
Jeremy took her hand and allowed her to help pull him out of the water. She grabbed the towel off the rack by the curtain and started to wipe the water free of his body. She blushed slightly as she realized that on mermen, their anatomical differences between females were the first to come back into human form.
She gasped as he roll her, still not completely changed back, and smiled down at her. “So, are we still going to see if this body breaks?”
Naida smiled and wrapped her legs around his waist, moving her hips so that she thrust him deep inside her. She gasped slightly, still feeling the scales, but smiled up at him. “I hadn’t planned on changing that little idea.”
Jeremy kissed her as he started to pull himself out of her. The scales weren’t soft in the least, but she had been with a merman in more of a mermaid state than this before. The pain was still there, but it only added to the pleasure as he pounded himself deep inside her, slowly returning to his normal human state.
She wrapped her arms around his back as he pushed her against a small ramp in the rock and felt the trident meet his skin, causing them both to cry out. He began to move faster and she let out little yelps every time he thrust himself into her. They both came screaming with the trident molding their bodies together.
Jeremy collapsed on top of her, but she was too weak to even bother to think about it. She was breathing hard and fast, having never felt something so remarkable in her life. She could feel the burning of the trident at her throat and sighed. She was, by mermaid law, married to him now. The trident had chosen and they had performed the marriage ritual.
“Jeremy, are you alright?”
“Dandy.” Jeremy rolled of her and grunted. “Wow. I don’t think your new body is going to break any time soon. Why was that different that the other times?”
“When merpeople are married, they have the king or queen put a little of each person’s magic into an amulet. When that amulet reacts to both people’s powers, they are wed.” Naida sighed and looked over at him. “With the king or queen, the trident chooses and then uses the power of that ruler to bind their mate to them in marriage. Congratulations, Jeremy, you’re married.”
“To you, hopefully.” Jeremy smiled and kissed her gently. “I think I could like mermaid marriage ceremonies if that all involve that.”
Naida laughed and shook her head. “Yes, you’re married to me, and no, mermaid marriage ceremonies are pretty much the ruler binding the two merpeople’s magic in an amulet. The mind-numbing sex comes when they’re alone.”
Jeremy sighed and wrapped his arms tight around Naida. “I wish we had some rings to show that we are married. I mean, it’s not legal up here, but we can make it legal as soon as possible, can’t we? I mean, if you want?”
Naida smiled and sat up, yelping a little. “Fuck, that hurt. Damn, Jeremy.”
She stood slowly, with his help, and walked into her room, going to a desk in the far corner and pulling a piece of paper. She wrote her name and Jeremy’s name onto two lines and signed it before handing him the pen. “Sign there.”
He frowned, but signed it. She took out a punch and punched it before putting it into a tube and sending it upstairs. “Congratulations again, Jeremy, we are now married in the eyes of everyone both above water and below.”
She held her hand out and two rings appeared in her hand. She held one out to Jeremy and it took it. “Jeremy Davis, I would love nothing that to be your wife.” She smiled as she slipped his ring onto his finger.
He smiled and slipped her small ring onto her finger. “Ditto, Naida Walker. Or should I say, Naida Davis?”
“Naida Davis.” Naida smiled and kissed Jeremy, feeling that same knee jerking response she always had to him. She felt a little guilty over getting married this soon after Jon’s death, but, though it was more her choice than she wanted to admit, it had been the trident who had confirmed her decision. She shook her head and went to the end of the bed, grabbing her dress and pulling it on. “We should get upstairs before they think I killed you again.”
Jeremy laughed and pulled his jeans on. He grabbed a shirt out of his bag and pulled it over his head, holding his arm out for her. “Ready when you are, Mrs. Davis.”
Naida smiled and slipped her last guarder on, taking his arm. “Why, thank you, Mr. Davis.” She laughed and shook her head. “We are so retarded right now.”
“That we are, but at least we’re fun retards.” Jeremy opened the door for her with a laugh and they headed to the elevators. Now that that was one problem solved, they could try to solve the other hundred problems they had. Starting with the one they were having a meeting about upstairs right that moment.
