Sitting at her vanity,a knock was heard at her door as she gave the way of entry. It was her maids who were soon followed by her father. On his head bore his crown and upon his wrists and arms his golden cuffs. His face was a smile upon his daughters reflection as the mermaids swam around her getting her ready. Amalthea didnt know how to react What if based on last night,he didnt like her? All she could do was hope for the best. Sure its wasnt love at first sigh,but she knew there had been a spark. As the mermaids all talked the enchanted her hair with jewels and such to give her that beautiful look she already had. A soft veil was clipped into her hair as they had her rise up from her seat to adjust it.
From her doorway,a chuckle came from her father. "Hm? What is it daddy?" Swimming over to her,he placed his hand under her chin and held up face to look at her reflection. "Just as beautiful as your mother...." Pulling away from his daughter,Amalthea looked up at him and smiled. She did have her mothers beauty,and curiosity. It was her who was going to bring two worlds together for their sake of their people whether they wanted to marry or not. Love would soon follow,would it not? She would learn to love him and vice versa? Fate was one of those things you had no control over. Amalthea knew this. Thus why she thought it was fate that brought them two together that night. They got along just fine as merperson and sentry,but would them being royals change how they would act to each other?
She only hoped not.
As her father came back,she stayed behind her and lowered her circlet onto her head. The jewel settled perfectly on her head as she looked at herself. "Amalthea....now you are going to be in the same area are Aedre to know him for a prince. As he is. And he will know you for a Princess. And no guards. I promise." Kissing his daughters forehead,he swam out of the room with her maids. Taking a deep breath,Amalthea looked at her reflection. Her circlet,necklace and veil all made her look like a bride to be. The sheer thought of this scared her slightly.
Down in the great hall,her father took the time to greet Aedre and his father as he smiled as he had them escorted into the throne room. Swimming over to Aedre he bowed."Wanted to get a sneak peak at your bride the other night,huh? Dont worry,you'll have all your time today." As he finished talking,he turned over to the hall opening as Amalthea waited for them to turn their attention to her. When they did,he looked eye to eye at Aer with a soft smile.
Softly she swam over to them all. Taking Aer's fathers hand,she curtsied with her veil. "Sir..." As he returned her gesture,she moved to Aer and curtsied yet again. "Crown prince...." Her voice was dainty as she moved close to her father;s side. Her bore the attitude of a well behaved princess. As her father looked down with a smile,he looked over to his father. "Shall we leave these two alone and discuss the marriage?"

And it's no good waiting by the window.
It's absolutely no good waiting for the sun.
Please believe me, the things you dream of.
These things don't fall in the laps of no-ones. Aedre put on a smile for the King of Maqua, a fellow as grand-standing as his own father except of sea green hue the gentleman had from the just as ponytail-ed hair all the way to the regal sea fishtail. He was quite impressive, if the Prince could think so of the man. "It is nice to finally meet you, sir," He said formally when he was introduced to the King. He gave a small bow, placing his right backhand on the small of his back while his left palm went lightly over his belly belly button as he did so. As per customary greeting, of course, like he was taught.
Aedre simply blushed a becoming shade of rosy pink as the father mentioned getting a 'sneak peek at your bride the other night', he looked down for a few moments before he saw the very bottoms of the doors leading to the stairwell up towards where the royal family slept open. He looked up to see that the same princess he had met the other night was now wearing a silver circlet, see-through white veil, and own set of royal jewelry consisting of a necklace and armlets.
When she swam over to him, he couldn't help but have his heart flutter slightly as she curtsied. He returned it with a bow, she moved closer and curtsied again, sighing with a small flourish: "Crown Prince..." It caused him to blush again, and his eyes darted away as if he were simply looking at the sun, its beauty to mighty and all-powerful for him to even bear. The father of his bride-to-be smiled and looked to his own father, asking to leave the two alone, and he chuckled and said, "Why of course, my friend. Guards?" With that, the four guards that had come in with the King of Atoija and their Prince followed the father out, and soon the other male and his own set of guards left the room.
The two; Prince Aedre and Princess Amalthea, were now left in the castle throne room, all the doors closed, left to their own devices and whatever they would like to do for the day while the Kings discussed the weddings plans, proposals and such. Aedre had the desire to go over to the princess and, perhaps, go on an outing at the grounds, but he didn't voice it.⊰⊰⊰⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⊱⊱⊱...

Taking a deep breath as her father and his father left,Amalthea swam around him with her hair curling around him again. "So,You clean up very nice,Prince Aedre." Her voice was still that same voice he had encountered that night. But there was more to her that she showed. She was showing off her princess side. She thought about what happened the other night and how he showed her his kingdom,in return she thought it would be best to show him hers. Reaching for his hand,she started to lightly pull him towards the doors. "Come,I want to show you all of Maquas..." Holding his hand,her silver hair wrapped around her face and body as she smiled to him.
The sheer touch of his hand against her made her tremble. Its wasnt because he was her husband to be. But the fact that he was a male. She was never allowed with other males. Due to this whole plan would have been corrupted. Seeing the prince for what he really was that night made her realize they both wanted the same thing. Freedom. He faked being a sentry and she faked being a normal peasant. Maybe this would work out after all. Realizing she was holding his hand for too long,she let it go and swam over to the door and waited for him. "Shall you come with me?"

It's absolutely no good waiting for the sun.
Please believe me, the things you dream of.
These things don't fall in the laps of no-ones. Aedre felt the brushing of her locks of hair about his arms and shark's tail, and it made him shiver lightly at the touch, though, surprisingly, in a comfortingly good way. He smiled as he replied, "You don't look bad yourself, Princess Amalthea." His voice and personality, as well, was similar to that of last night when they first met, but it now held the royal, outdoor- and animal-loving, roguishly charming air that everyone in his own kingdom knew him by. This time, they were facing each other's true forms, and he was making it out not to lie about it. This may be, after all, the only day they would be given the chance to be themselves before the expected flood of the upcoming series of events rush through them.
He smiled once more, but quite earnestly and in a genuine show of interest, as she spoke of showing him her own kingdom. The carriage had windows, but they were small and hardly any light passed through the curtains that were put in them... As she grabbed his hand to hold, he felt her smooth and soft compared to his own rough and calloused flesh from his years of hard work and training for his title. Sure, he had many friends, some that were, in fact, female, but, he now realized, they never really made skin-to-skin contact with the Prince. Maybe it was because it was a thought in itself to do that to their future ruler or something. The closest that's ever occurred is the shaking of another's hand through their leather fighting gloves, but that's all.
He looked into her eyes and noticed that she seemed to temporarily be clouded in some other kind of thought. Perhaps, like he was earlier, she was reminiscing about the night before. They both pretended to be something they were not in order to just look outside their own borders and take in the reality of things. And they did, but more than they had wanted in the first place. When she realized she'd been holding his hand, she let go, and the absence of her touch felt just a tad uncomforting for a split second. She swam towards the door to the grounds, waiting and beckoning, as she asked if he'd come along. He said simply, "Yeah," and headed after her, his cape billowing minutely in the current of his movements.⊰⊰⊰⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⊱⊱⊱...

As he treated at her side,Amalthea clapped her hands once as the guards,on the other side,opened the door as they both swam out. Outside the throne room was the great hall and that soon lead to the outer sea garden just before the palace gates Looking over to him,she smiled. How wonderful it was for it to be just them two again. With a smile,she patted his hand. "My world....is much different from yours...." Pushing on the gate,it slowly swung open to show the entire kingdom of Maquas. The beautiful city beneath the waves. The path from the castle lead into a town with shops and stalls that had cloth hanging from them to close up when they were done. Colorful coral outlined the path into the town and the lantern lights they had to shine at the nighttime hours. She loved watching the lights changed with the time of the day and the merfolk who would swim up to the top and breech in and out of the water. A contest to see who would breech high out of the water and stay out the longest. The merfolk of her kingdom where hustling and bustling around to do what they needed. The merchildren played around in the seaweed with laugther and energy. Taking his hand,she lead him out past the gates and into the city with the rest of the merfolk. Every now and then she would go out and converse with them.
This time upon entering,she and Aedre were given a tiara for her and a lei for him from the people. She wouldnt help but laugh as the tiara fell against her face. The Maquas were a loving race that loved people. Holding onto his hand,she started to swim pulling him at her side. The path they traveled was full of stalls that the merpeople would sell stuff and trade with others. Whether it was jewelry or magikcs they had created. As they swam on,she heard her name being called out,and gave a simple wave. The people loved her,afterall she was the people princess. Making their way past their market she let him to a cavern wall. She they stopped swimming she pointed up. All along the cavern walls were homes. Her people lived within wall to avoid danger. Many thought they were crazy to live within the walls but it was the safest way to live.
Looking over to Aer,she smiled and let go of his hand as she flitted around him then swam away from the cavern as quick as she could laughing.Amalthea stopped to look back at him. 'Now to get him alone with me...just for a little while...' The princess meant no harm as she just want to spend time with the prince and talk about what had happened the night before. Maybe she could take him to a secret place she found years ago. All she could think about was how she really thought of him and better yet how could she leave her people. They were all she knew,but she let that go as she called out to the prince and winked softly.

It's absolutely no good waiting for the sun.
Please believe me, the things you dream of.
These things don't fall in the laps of no-ones. Aedre followed after the Princess, looking around at the castle grounds. How different it was in itself from his own home, made out of the many shades of coral around here. Then, as she patted his hand before opening the gate to reveal the town, he couldn't help but gasp almost inaudibly. The streets were wonderful, with their own lantern lights that weren't on at the moment due to being the daytime. As the very citizens of the kingdom came up to them with a tiara and lei, placing the slightly large crown on Amalthea's head while the lei went about Aedre's neck. He chuckled as it fell against her forehead, but soon her hand went to his again as she led them down the path. He waved as well to the merpeople about them as they passed by what seemed to be the marketplace or trading center. The people had been, so far, so overly friendly and such. Just like at home, but amongst others he knew he should get to know when this is over.
When they stopped swimming, Aedre gave time to look out past the cavern walls. "So this is what merfolk life is like near the surface," he couldn't help but whisper with a smile paving his lips. The variously sized homes looked beautiful, carved against the very large stone coral walls so close to the surface of the water. The very concept was interesting in itself. But, before he could spare another thought for the houses, he suddenly felt the absence of the Princess and, turning around, he noticed her swim around him in a circle once before going down and away from the cavern. He grinned, a bit mischievously, as the spark of play and competition flashed before his eyes. Laughing, he raced after her, shaking his head lightly as he swam.
He was known around his kingdom as the creature tamer, star athlete, and one of their best soldiers. The way she moved in the water as she darted and the silliness in her movements made him want to be delicate with her, like she was a fragile flower... But, yet, also come rushing to her side and do whatever she wished. It confused even himself, and it was different from the rough-and-tough mermaids that were a dangerous kind of pretty, but also wonderful company when they become your friends.⊰⊰⊰⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⊱⊱⊱...

Looking as Aer tried to keep up with her she swam father from him but at a delicate speed as they swam through the marketplace as the people watched them. Slowing down,she swam with her back facing the ground and underneath him. For a mermaid,Amalthea wasnt always the fastest but she was the swiftest. She loved to play games with the speed fish due to her swiftness through the water.Touching his nose,she kicked her fin and swam faster. If this wasnt a way to get him interested in her,she didnt know what was. The farther they swam,the farther they got him her palace. But soon they were just on the outskirts just outside the gate. Colorful color plagued the otskirts and so did many fish. It was a beautiful sight to see. The sun from above shimmered on the sea floor. Making the coral appears in a aray of colors. Swimming away from him,Amalthea looked at one of the coral and ran her hand across it as it bloomed with flowers. There on her face was a soft smile. The life outside the palace made Amalthea want to see it more.
Making her way back to Aerdre,she softly took his hand and swam farther out to see a opening of a trench as she pointed down and they swam around in the open water. But as they did she slowly slipped from his hand,making a pipul of bubbles come from her tail as she went and sat on one of the trench rocks. Her silver hair shinned from the suns warming light above as it floated in the free flowing water along with her veil. She was the most beautiful mermaid in all of Maqua. But it was something she didnt like.In truth,Amalthea wanted to be loved for her heart and attitude; not for her looks.
Maybe Aerdre would be the one to see her like that.Looking at him she saw how the light reflected him. His markings of blue and green against his young body build.She could see his blue hair with its green ends as his locked waved through the water and his green eyes. The endless pools of emerald green. His hair and tail which matched his shark like fin. That was their difference. She bore a fish fin and him a shark. Her scales shinned as she ran her hand down from her waist. Her top was of the scales that where on her fins. It had a rather feathery look about it as it swayed in the water.Her beautuful color made her shine as she looked at Aedre and smiled. Bbut on her face was a soft blush she couldnt contain. No words were said but then again none were needed.

And it's no good waiting by the window.
It's absolutely no good waiting for the sun.
Please believe me, the things you dream of.
These things don't fall in the laps of no-ones. Caught by surprise as Amalthea turned onto her back and swam right under Aedre, he almost raised an eyebrow when she touched his nose delicately before kicking her tail to speed up once more. That's when it clicked: she wasn't fast at all, just very skilled at maneuvering. This he took into knowledge, and his muscles began to adapt to her movements as well, mimicking the way her tail swished in order to keep up with her. He hardly focused on the surroundings much longer. It was just him and her, being free to be whoever they chose to, and do what they wanted to... Just for this day. Even if only for this day, it seemed it would be enough to last almost a lifetime.
He snapped out of the moment, however, when he saw that, it seemed, they past the castle in what felt like quite a while back, and now were at the opening of a trench, near the open waters. There was a crowd of silverfish who looked funnily at the Prince and Princess, muttering and giggling things like: "Aw, so cute! Such long hair on that mermaid! Wait, isn't that the Maqua Princess? ... Oh my, he has a shark tail! That's the Atoija Prince, stupid!" and such in their fish language. They were motioning towards the two, all in admiration, gossip, and such.
He spoke in fish, "Could you maybe leave us be and swim further towards the open waters? Or, perhaps, into the trench? Thank you." He smiled kindly to the fish, whom nodded in unison and went on their way. Sometimes it helped being zoolingual. After all, politeness and such went a long way in communicating with others.
When he turned to look towards the Princess, he found her sitting daintily on one of the rocks nearby; a rather large, tilted table-top one that had a few spots of seaweed. It shone an almost-perfect ray of sunshine through the water, causing her hair to look like a silvery halo that extended out in tendrils as the ocean caused it to sway gracefully. Her fair skin merely complimented both the white of her hair and the darkness of her eyes, acting as a balance between the two, while her extremely light blue-green fish scales, both on her tail and over her chest, glimmered, embracing the feel of the play of light. Through the veil, he could note the gentle glow of red on her face, and could tell she was admiring himself as well.
He smiled back softly and went over to her side as he sat down and looked out to the surroundings. Everything was so pretty near the surface... But then, thoughts arose: did she like him only for his appearance, or did he also seem to be agreeable towards his very personality? He was one not to like having things taken materialistically, no matter how lavishing they may be. And he was a prince, to think... But he was also a wise one to know not to take one's looks seriously. He sighed, "So Amalthea, if I may call you that... Where are we?"⊰⊰⊰⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⊱⊱⊱... Please Don't Judge Me By ... The Garb I Wear (Minus Legs) ... Nor ...

He was looking at her too and it made her heart race. And she knew he was thinking and feeling the same way to. Amalthea pulled her locks to one side as she looked at Aer. He called her by her full name without her title. She loved how it sounded coming from him atleast. With him sitting by her side,it gave her chills of how close they were. So close in body but still so far apart in heart. From a distance you could see that shade of the sun in the water complimenting them both. While she appeared to shine silver he appeared to shine blue. Looking at his cape and tunic he looked like a guard then a prince till you saw his tiara. It was these things that made her mad. They always had to show who they were outside the palace life. This drove her insane. She wanted to get to know him,the him from last night. When he asked where they were,she pushed of the rock and went to be infront of him. With a smile,she placed her hand under his chin and helped him look around. "Its an open trench,Aer. Its where most of us Maqua come to be at peace from our home and to do one of the best things in the world..." Swimming backwards,her hand dropped from his chin as hse turned her face toward the sunlight.
As she glanced over her shoulder,she winked a dark eye at Aer and swam deeper into the waters,she knew where she was and she knew he was going to have to follow her. Maybe this would be for the best if she took him to her secret place and showed him what she looked like without her royalties again and told him of her likes and dislikes,everything would be fine. All she wanted was for him to know her outside the royalty realm with her love of all creatures and life that grew wildly.
The waters got darker as she swam to an area where the light from above only shown in one place. It was off to the left to show an opening. Looking back to where Aer was,she kicked her fin and swam forward into the opening. Inside was a small opening from the light above, The was shinned and shimmering in the reflection of the sun and the stalgmite walls that shimmered. It was a place her mother always used to bring her to. And she grew to love it as she got older;remembering where it was. As the waves above moved so did the reflection the sun gave off int her grotto. Amalthea turned back and looked at Aer,her voice was soft and precious as she took off her circlet and placed it down on a rock near the openeing as she started to do with all her other royal jewels. "Here...we can be ourselves." Her look in her dark eyes was that of a longing freedom she needed. The merprincess swam off towards a jutting rock from the wall and sat down right in the ligth from the sun.
The view her eyes got was breathtaking. as she looked a school of yellow tailed fish swam through her grotto saying hello's and hi's as they swam out. One fish was slower then the rest as he got caught in Amaltheas hair. With a laugh,she slwoly pulled her hair from around him. "See,no harm done..."The greatful fish swam around the princess' face and took off. She gave a soft wave to the fish even though he couldnt see her. Her dark eyes soon took place to another person. Aer. Her lips curled into a smile as she looked back at the sun above.

And it's no good waiting by the window.
It's absolutely no good waiting for the sun.
Please believe me, the things you dream of.
These things don't fall in the laps of no-ones. He'd only seen these kinds of things from the books he's read, but never saw any sights like this before. It was so different from his underground home, and so close to being out in the open of things. As her hand went under his chin to guide him in looking around, his eyes taking it all in with an open mind of wonderment. When it slipped away, he felt the slight cold of its absence as she began swimming backwards once more. He shivered slightly as she glanced over to wink at him; it practically enchanted him into wanting to follow. Forced to follow, he kicked off his shark tail's back fins only to be taken deeper into the trench, unknowing of anything that she could be planning.
The waters grew darker, feeling more familiar and at home to him, strangely. Soon, they found themselves in something he did know of; a grotto. There were quite a few hidden ones all about the caverns, and were the only ways to see the sun without having to leave the walls. Except, in theirs, they had thickly glassed the roofs as to protect from invasions and bad creature attacks that could harm the city. Never in its natural state... He swam further in and, when Amalthea spoke again, he nodded, seeing her take off her jewelery and circlet. He could see that, within her eyes, they wanted freedom and nothing more. He almost got sucked into her very gaze, knowing how she felt.
He couldn't help but chuckle as a school of fish, all a banana coral yellow, swim past, one of them getting caught in the Princess' hair. When he was rescued, the fish nodded in thanks and practically sped off to catch up with the others, hearing it say in fish language: "Wait up for me, guys!" He almost froze as her eyes loomed in his directions as she smiled before turning towards the sun once more. As she did look away, he slipped off his cape, tiara, earring, and necklace chain, wrapping them within the cloth, setting it down gently in a corner nearby.⊰⊰⊰⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⊱⊱⊱...

"Before my mother died she would bring me here on my nights I would cry as a baby. She would take her sachel and lay me in it as she swam here. Once we were here,she's let me go and I'd swim around. I always wanted to to grab that big ball of magic in the sky. But my mother would swim up behind me and hold me in her arms as she swam in a side ways circle slowly." Amaltheas' voice was almost like a murmur as she stayed looking up to the light. But her dark hues were telling a story to the sky sun. The story of her mother and what she gained from her. "This was her getaway from the royalties. I would see my mom leave the palace and then come back with a smile upon her face. Before..she died..she brought me here as the place was filled with wonderous fish and other sea creatures. It was here I learned of my love of curiosity. Chasing after a baby squid and being sprayed in the face with ink.." On her last words,she gave a feminine chuckle.
Her scales shinned brightly as she pulled the knee bend in her fin up to her chest and rested her head down on them. All Amalthea wanted back was her mother. Her mothers sense of creativity. Her sense of wonder and breaking the rules. This all flowed through Amalthea as she opened her eyes looking at everything in the grotto. Kicking her fins down she threw herself into an angry huff without realizing it as she raised off the rock. "I dont want this! I want a life of adventure. I want to swim in and out of the tide with the surface waves. I want to go breeching with the dolphins and whales when they travel. I want to go to warmer waters! Colder waters! I want to sit under a waterfall and enjoy the mist against the rocks. I want to chase fish around the open seas. I want freedom.To be completely free!" Her almost yell echoed through the grotto as she heard a small tink from behind her. It was Aer. She noticed that he had taken off his royal jewels and everything. The delicate princess swam to him and took his hands in hers as she swam backwards pulling him into the suns light from above.
Only looking at him. She could see the same things in him that she had. A forced marriage. A friend she had barely made. A life they both didnt want. Not yet. Swimming right in front of him,she raised both of their hands up a she was caught into his emerald stare. His blue hair framming his face in a way she didnt understand. There the both of them were without royals to bound them. To make them stay a certain way. This was how she wanted him to see her. A normal mermaid. A girl who wanted to kow the entire undersea world. Not a princess. But another misplaced person like him. As her feather ended tailed touched his,she smiled. Looking down then raising her head back up as her silvery-white locks shinned and tangled around her face,she spoke softly. "Hi Aer.."

And it's no good waiting by the window.
It's absolutely no good waiting for the sun.
Please believe me, the things you dream of.
These things don't fall in the laps of no-ones. Aedre was taken along by her hands, following after her as she led him to the sun's light, the only spot in the midst of this undersea cave. She was so beautiful, but after hearing her words, they almost haunted him by the way they touched his heart with a hint of cold depression and sadness. Though her long flowing white hair, dark brown- almost black- eyes, and such palely fair complexion were that of practically a sea goddess of sorts compared to her colored- and dark-skinned people, he couldn't get enough of the experience and wisdom that lay behind her eyes, showing the real truth that was hidden behind all the royalties of being a princess.
He could almost see all the pain she's now bring forward, especially after the spiel she had given while he was shedding his things. He could notice now that they couldn't help but look deep into each other's eyes. It was blissful, yet it also made him blush more to do so; it seemed so impolite and very unorthodox. But he couldn't help himself... As the feather-like feel of her tail end touched the hard yet soft cartilage of his own tail, he could've sworn an almost mental shock of electricity zoom, and it caused yet another light shiver to run along his back, though he made sure to cover it up. He saw the smile that began to make her face glow, and he grinned very softly back as she looked down to their brushing ends. In response with her, he whispered, "Hi..."
They barely knew each other. And, though a small part of himself and his heart still didn't completely fall head-over-heels for her... The rest of him was enchanted. He was liking the way he felt about her, like he could tell her everything he knows without a single regret. She didn't look at all like a princess, nor did he a prince. They were simply two merpeople stuck in a bad situation. And he felt her longing to explore, though he felt no need to voice it at all. They both had dreams.⊰⊰⊰⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⊱⊱⊱... Please Don't Judge Me By ...

Hearing Aer say "Hi..",Amalthea pushed off his hands and swam backwards as her tail pulled away from his. Her delicate arms swayed by her sides. "I want to get to know you....the real you. The hiding sentry who greeted be. And I dont want you to know me as a Princess,I want you to know me as the mermaid who got her tail stuck under a rock. I just....I dont want to be married.." As much as Aer was cute,she didnt want to know him as her husband by force,she wanted to know him as her husband by love. As her dark eyes looked up t the sun,she came across an idea. With a flick of her tail she was swimming upward through the hole in her grotto. Faster and faster and faster she swam until she was completely out.
Looking out into the open sea,its seas and all the sea animals being free. The sun from above captured her eyes as her soft sea-green feather tail curled under her fair skinned body. Her mind soon took of along with her body as she coiled down as she swam upward quicky into the water and out. A splash sound came from the waters above and below. Her body was shimmering out in the sun with her scales and silver hair. The mermaid was breeching out of the water. Much like a dolphin does. Amalthea's hair shimmered as it stuck to her body,soaring through the hair as she splashed back into the sea and swam down to the grotto.
Bearing a large smile on her face,the princess grabbed the hands of her friend and pointed up. "Lets leave this place. Lets leave our homes. Lets swim away and never come back." her face was serious and ready. As she knew as well as he did they would never be able to do anything so long as they were royalty or stuck in a castle. Thats why this was good a time as any to escape and make alot out of nothing.

Please believe me, the things you dream of.
These things don't fall in the laps of no-ones. Aedre watched as she swam up, wondering what she was doing. As he saw her go through the hole in the grotto, knowing it led to the open ocean, he thought precariously, 'Is she, perhaps, thinking of escape?' He waited in the darkness as she disappeared from sight for a few moments before, with a splash, she swiftly was down here with him again. As she grabbed his hands, pointing up to the ceiling and talking about leaving, a spark came into his eyes. He never considered it before, but it was possible. They had a chance. No one was looking...
Why not take it now? It was perfect, and they both wanted it. Freedom is an emotion and thought they both shared with eagerness and, seizing the opportunity, he gave a small smirk and nodded, saying, "Alright... Just on two conditions." He swam forward a little before facing back at her, looking straight into her eyes. A look of determination, but also care, was on his face as he spoke, "Be careful. And try to stay by my side." He probably had more battle experience than her, and he also was very good and being diplomatic with animals when needs be.⊰⊰⊰⊰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━⊱⊱⊱⊱...

He was agreeing with her? About running away? This was it she was hoping and waiting for someone to have to same wants as her and here he was. As he heard his request,she nodded her head and swam up to their stuff. Taking off her veil,she laid it across everything. This was goodbye to her past. Kissing the top of everything,Amalthea swam over to Aer as she took his hands in one of her own. "No regrets?" She questioned herself on this matter of well,would she regret leaving her father behind for her call of freedom and wanting. Her dark eyes scanned her grotto,would this be the last time she saw its beauty and wonder? The place her mother loved with a desire and passion,that same she had for the open sea?
With a dainty smile at Aer,she made her way up and out of the grotto into the open sea. She could see for miles. Her heart leapt from her chest and into the ocean as it left without her. Its explored what was out there and told her what was waiting and she was ready. Her shimmery scales shone brightly as her tail and hair moved about her. All Aer wanted was for her to be careful and stay at his side,much like a guard. Sure,she was a girl but she was swift and strong. This she could do with determination and skill. Not a once of planning but going with there heart and feelings.
