(;p no worries. I hope you feel better!)
Ariana swam silently through the castle, her shimmering feautres set aflame with the suns softest touches. SHe had gotten past all of the guards and the mirror would not be too far out of reach now. Pulling her hair down from its floating disposition she curled up among the rafters, waiting as the small red crab scurried by. The festival was going to begin soon... if she could gather the mirror and be out by the time the city was being filled then she would never be caught.

In the Great Hall, there was a commotion and bustle. Numerous merchildren, between 15 and 16 were playing all kinds of games, staring at the artwork, chattering so much that the sound was a roar like the crashing waves. Along with parents, grandparents and siblings, the Hall looked like at the Undersea Ball.
Many guards were standing at the ready, making sure that certain areas of the castle remained off limits.
One of the mermaid sisters made her appearance and the room went silent.
Aquata came by, wearing a beautiful crown and a fluttery light blue cape. She headed to the throne, but did not sit down.
"May I have your attention, please? King Triton will be down in a while to oversee the Cememony. Now, many of you have seen this castle from the outside, but never from the inside. We are going to give escorted tours of the castle."
One of the guards gave Aquata a scroll, which she looked at. "Our count indicates there are nearly 500 merfolk here. We would like you to break into groups of 50 or so and you will be given a tour of this magnificent structure."
At that point, the other six sisters, Melody and two others came out ands began collecting their group together.
Aquata spoke. "This will take about 40 or so minutes. When we all get back here, then King Triton will perform the ceremony."

Ariana came up from below before Sariana could get too far lost in the crowd. Her hands wrapped about her sisters waist before she snatched the bag away, taking the mirror from her and moving a few feet away. "Sister, I cannot let you take this to him." she announced, her voice firm and unrelenting despite her anxious, writhing stomach. "I won't let you." Ariana said as she turned, swimming quickly in another direction, needing to keep away from her sisters wrath.

Righty oh then let's get back to work then. ..................................................................... Sariana kicked off from a wall and started speeding through the palace. Now and again she made a grab when she was close enough but missed everytime. Sariana made made one last snatch and got it off her, So she turned around, found the nearest window and swam for her life to Coral Coves.

"Master, look!"
Arcato looked up to see the two mermaids in hot pursuit. Hew was unusually calm as he watched the scene Sariana was a fast swimmer, but her sister was no slouch and was managing to close the gap.
As they neared to where they were, Arcato hovered around where the channel opened up. Sariana would have to come down this narrow path, between the rocks, to get to him. Positioning himself, he waiting for the proper moment.
Sariana soared past. He counted to three and launched out as hard and as fast as he could. Him timing was impeccable. He slammed hard into Ariana, driving her into a wall of rocks and knocking her senseless.

(hehe k guys remember that it is Ariana that has to end up with the Mirror so that she can go to Ariel. Don't make it too impossible for me to get it ^^)
Ariana's head his the rocks and she felt a pounding pain rush through her. Wisps of crimson blood slipped away as she was pressed into the wall. Her eyes were wide with confusion, shock that he was there and she didn't know it. Her eyes strayed to her sister as she swam out, escaping momentarily. "I won't let you take it." Ariana whispered heatedly, having to ignore the pain that she was feeling run in tune with her heartbeat. Quickly with abounding strength and lithe grace she slipped out from under Arcato and made a run for the caves Sariana had went to, being sure fin across his back to repay him for the attack.

Arcato was pitched forward and the both soared off. Getting up, he smiled to himself. "This is a feisty one, just like her sister. But it will avail her not."
Motioning to his other minion, he whispered in its ear. Nodding, the other creature swam off in another direction. Arcato rose upwards to try and see how things were progressing.

Ariana had slid into the rocks, her form twisting with absolute precision. Each and every turn was made quickler and swifter, she needed to catch her sister. She kept a steady motion up into the cliffs until she came to a clear steep down and with a pound of her fin from behind Ariana was gaining enough sped to coming behind Sariana, dangerously close. With one pull Ariana was able to latch on to her hair, wrenching it back as the mirror fell. "Forgive me sister." she said loudly not wanting to appear heartless when she truely did love her sister. Ariana was able to snatch the mirror before swimming down to lose her trail in the caves.

Arcato rubbed his chin. "So, she thinks she can lose her in the caves and escape harm." He turned to his aide. "Minion!"
"Yes, my liege."
"Post the sentries. Let her get tuckered out before she realizes there is no escape."

Sariana fianally got through the cave first, and found Arcato staring at her with his arms folded, impatientedly, he said "well, what took you so long." I know, I know," she replied " Back to doing laps, right? But sadly I have failed your misson." *bows her head in shame*

Arcato came over to her, but put a large arm about her shoulder and drew her close. He put a finger to his temple as he gathered his thoughts. He could feel a fear within Sariana, but she was not giving any outward signs of it. He spoke in measured tones as they made a slow circle.
"Failure is a terrible word. It implies that one has given up and is unwilling to make the decisions and sacrifices to attain that which we want."
Arcato sat Sariana on a rock and faced her, his eyes burning into her. At least she returns the gaze, he thought.
"Failure is when the task appointed to us has completely spiralled out of control and that which we did not want to happen has occured, preventing up from achieving our goal.
"A setback is when that which we did not want to happen has occured, but there is still an opportunity to rectify it.
"So, is it a failure or a setback?"

"That is what I wanted to hear. Geelbek!"
One of Arcato's minions came up to him. He was a blobby-looking creature. Sariana could not tell what it was.
"Even the best of us need a bit of help." He turned to Geelbek. "You will do whatever she asks, aid in whatever she needs, follow any instruction she gives."
The creature bowed slightly and slithered over to Sariana.
"He is most useful. Do what you must. I have to make additional plans." Arcato left very quickly and was gone.

Ariana climbed on to the sandy beach. Exagustion peaking in her frail form, but she did her best to keep the precious mirror in her arms, close to her heart. This was a sacred item, one that that shouldn't be desecrated to make another master of all. With a soft whisper of wind and echo of the oceans plea the mirror became a firely burst of light and seeped into her flesh until it encompassed her fully. This was she could keep it hidden, it will be safe... until proper ground could be located. Her lengthy fin split when a wave came over, blanketing her form with its cool presence before it materialized itself into a soft white gown. Ariana pushed herself to stand, the bitter touch of the cold suddenly making itself known upon her delicate skin. Now to find Ariel.
*Ariel can go now ^^ Do whatever it is she does in the castle and either spot me or I will find you ^~*
