Lani's+Backstory

Ululani swam towards I Kini Akua cave. Which means Cave Of The Spirits. Cassandra met her there every day. It was a big part of there friendship, because, Cassandra and Ululani first met there when they were young. They didn’t like to listen to their parents, so they swam off into the cave to play, then met each other when they each turned a corner and ran into each other. Even though the cave was creepy, it was harmless.

Ululani swam up to it and stopped. Cassandra was usually right inside the cave, she peeked in and saw no one. That was strange. Ululani was always late to get there according to Cassandra. This was really weird, Cassandra would never be late... Ever.

Just then, Ululani heard a screech from inside the cave. Even though Cassandra wasn’t there, this needed further investigation. She darted through the cave, turning corners and almost hitting the walls. It got louder and louder as she went, and then, she ran into something. Something not cold and hard, but warm and soft. She fell to the ocean floor with a thud. Ululani looked up and saw the most beautiful, charming, handsome, blue eyed, brown haired, perfect man. He looked to be her age, and, no other than a merman.

“I’m so sorry.” He said, with a grin a mile wide on his face. He pulled her from the ground to the water. There weren’t many words coming to mind for Ululani. She was speechless for the first time.

“I’m sorry, let me introduce myself.” He said, “My name is Adonis Firaguin Mazala, first son of Marcietta and Lonan Mazala. And you are?” I froze, completely forgotten my name. And all of a sudden, everything came flooding back.

“My name is Ululani Arette Azthelea, second daughter of Altea and Ardery Azthelea.” He smiled, grabbed me by my hand, and started pulling me through the water. We rode through the water very smoothly and swiftly. It felt like an eternity of swimming until he told me to shut my eyes. I did accordingly, but with some internal contradiction. I felt special at this moment, Adonis was so handsome and sweet.

All of a sudden, we broke through the water to the surface. I opened my eyes in shock as I saw a beautiful landscape of an above water cave. It was lit by sun peeking through the rocks.

“Ululani Arette Azthelea, this is Marcietta cave. It was named after my mother by my father for his love of her. He said to never bring anyone here unless it was someone who I felt was important to me. I know we just met, but I feel like you are everything to me already. Please, join me on land?” Adonis said. He wanted me to join him on land?

“Yes.” I said, and swam to the shore of the cave. I sat on the cold rocks as Adonis swum up and flopped onto land next to me. He looked deep into my eyes and smiled. I smiled back.

“So, you’re father and mother are... in love?” I asked.

“Well, of course! Aren’t yours?!”

“Well... No... Well, what I mean is, I’ve never seen my mother or father happy together... My mother and father argue all the time and I only see my father when he’s unhappy...”

“That is no way for two merpeople to be, and-” He stopped. “Lani. What is that scar on your tail? Where did it come from?” I turned to him and panicked. No one was suppose to find out about where it came from.

I turned to Adonis, and kissed him.
