Description
Focusing on Lana and her mother, Renarya, both of them have been captured by the evil Black Mermaids and placed in an underwater prison cell. Lana is stuck in human form, and with the entirety of the Black Mermaid Palace shrouded in a magic spell that cuts off magic power from anyone else, Renarya is unable to change her daughter back into a mermaid. Overwhelmed with helplessness, the Pink Mermaid Queen breaks down in tears and cradles her drowning daughter. If these would be Lana's last moments alive, at least her mother would be there for her to comfort her as she slips away.Think of this as a "what could have been" scenario from The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea. When Melody was sealed in that underwater cave with a layer of ice, what if the evil Morgana decided to trap Ariel with Melody? Ariel would be in a helpless situation watching her daughter drown and being unable to save her.

Lana: It's a good thing mermaids and dolphins swim very fast, but they are better off in the open ocean.
Renarya: Yes. *talks to Yoru* If you can't hold your breath that long, we'll have to find air pockets along the way. *talks to the dolphin* Do you know a good route out of here?
*The dolphin chirps and nods.*
Renarya: All right then. This brave young mammal will lead us out of the palace prison walls, but we'll have to keep an eye out for air pockets along the way. *talks to Yoru again* Child, are you ready?

Yoru: m...mhm *nods and cuddles on her chest more*

*They all plunge underwater and swim, following the dolphin. Lana is holding on to the dolphin while Renarya is clutching Yoru to her chest, swimming after the dolphin.*

Yoru:*cuddles on her chest more and still holding his breath*

*Eventually, the dolphin finds a hidden passage and chirps, hinting that it leads them out of the palace. There is also an air pocket nearby.*
Renarya: *to Yoru* How are you holding up? Do you need to breathe, sweetie?

Yoru:*nods slowly and cuddles on her chest more*

Yoru:*catches his breath again and coughs a little*

*Renarya gently pats his back.*
Renarya: There we go... Take a minute, maybe two, but no more. Those Black Mermaids must be after our blood by now!
*The dolphin chirps again.*
Renarya: I think the dolphin is sensing their presence. Hurry up and take deep breaths! We haven't much time!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yoru: o...ok*take more deep breaths*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Renarya and Lana then dive again, with Renarya holding on to Yoru. They follow the dolphin and swim through the passage, eventually leading them outside the palace walls. Once they swim to a safe enough distance, Renarya uses her magic to transform Lana back into a mermaid.*
Lana: Yay!
*Lana, Renarya, and the dolphin then easily bring Yoru to the ocean surface in mere seconds where he can breathe again.*

*So Yoru is brought to the shores of Misla, where Renarya and Lana talk to him.*
Renarya: So where did you come from? And how did you end up inside the Black Mermaid Palace walls?

Yoru: um...i'm from dusk village and i don't remember h...how i ended up in the water *looks down*

Lana: Doesn't sound like you're from around here at all.

Yoru: a...all i remember was that i was r...running away from home

Lana: Hmm? Why did you do that?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yoru: b...because my family doesn't love m...me *tears forms in his eyes*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Renarya and Lana are downhearted hearing Yoru's words and instantly pity him.*

Yoru:*tears falls down his face and sniffles a little*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
*Both Lana and her mother wrap their arms around Yoru and hug him.*
Lana: If they don't love you, they're not your family at all. Real family is about bonding, not just being blood-related.
Renarya: And if you'd like a new home, the islanders on Misla will take you in. Rune Town is within walking distance from this beach and the islanders are always taking in refugees.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yoru: b...but idk if they would like me and also m...my family always ignores me as if i never existed*morw tears falls down his face and hides his face against renarya's chest*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lana: *keeps her hands on Yoru's shoulders* Aw, why would they not like you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yoru: b...because i'm different *cuddles on lana's mom's chest and more tears falls down his face*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Renarya: *cradles Yuro* Everyone's different in their own way. The islanders will take you in if you really need a new home.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yoru: s...so they might take a kerasan like me into a h...home ? *cuddles on her chest more and sniffles more*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lana: Kerasan? Is... that the name of your species?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yoru: um...y...yes*cuddles on her chest more and sniffles more*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Renarya: It doesn't change anything. The islanders of Rune Town originally came from a distant land torn up by war and strife and they settled here on Misla.
Lana: The only real problem is that they end up contending with those awful natives who won't even learn to share their land. But the islanders are tough warriors, so they can protect themselves and others. So you think the last thing they want is to squabble over someone who... well... has a lot more body hair, I guess. But seriously, they'll take you in regardless.

Yoru: u m...mean fur ? *cuddles on her chest more and sniffles more and stomach growls*

Lana: I think you're starting to sound hungry. Mom, turn me into a human and I'll escort Yoru to Rune Town. As soon as he's in good hands, I'll come back and we can swim home.
Renarya: 
Lana: Oops! It's okay, I got this. Yoru, come with me. You'll be alright, I promise.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yoru: o...ok miss *before he leaves with lana he hugs her mom tight*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Renarya: *returns the hug* Take care, sweetie. You'll be in capable hands soon.
*She then kisses Yoru's forehead.*

Yoru: m...me too *smiles shyly* w...will we meet again miss ?
