Chapter 1: The Story Begins

Her name was Emma, and she was human.
The first time they met she was a child, they both were. She couldn't swim, but she'd fallen off a porting dock, and she happened to be there to save her. The next few days she'd come back and they'd talk, but then her family moved away.

It'd been 13 years since that day, Emma was 18 and Nerida was 17, and she's moved back.

Her name was Nerida, Greek word for mermaid, but most people called her Nair, and she just want to be happy. But the love she had? It was forbidden in her family, but she doesn't care.
