Ariana had been walking down the steps when she saw the person she had wanted most to meet. She stumlbed along the sand, her legs worn out from so much panic filled running that she could give out any moment. "Lady Ariel," Ariana called out, coming to stand before her in labored breathes. "I need your help, there are rebels who are trying to steal your fathers mirror, they wish to over throw him, to kill!"

Ariel stopped! she paused to think what she just heard! how could anyone manage to steal her fathers mirror! it isn't possible. But she wanted to be ready to fight for anything so then she let her mind get back to earth and she went to talk to the maiden who apparently knew who she was already and somehow knew about the mirror! that would mean the maiden had been a mermaid. "Who are you!" Ariel demanded, "and how do you know about my fathers mirror."

Ariana had to calm herself, her breathing was too rapid for her words to come clearly, fully. Ariana straightened herself and bowed her head lightly, "Forgive me, My name is Ariana. My sister works with a merman named Arcato. I was able to take the mirror from them after they stole it from your fathers castle." Her hands crossed over her heart and the long, elegant curls of her hair danced in the sunlight and gave her the most beautiful of shimmers. "I am hiding it within my heart so that they cannot find it, but I do not believe that my attempts will deter them for long."

ariel stood there stunned for a few minates taking in the news, then she finally said, " well, ariana, it will probably be best to back to the castle." ariel led ariana to the castle. as they walked in the door ariel stopped the nearest maid, "o will you please bring my afternoon tea early, and please add another setting, we have a guest," ariel said. "of coarse my lady," anserewed the maid. Ariel then turned back to Ariana and said, "please join me for my afternoon tea, that way you can freshen up and then we will talk more on what we are going to do with my fathers mirror." As Ariana went away to freshen up, ariel decided to go alert her family as soon as possible, so she went to an opening of the sea where immeditaly one of the dolphins came up her. "i need you to do me a favor," said ariel. "anything," anserewed the dolphin. " will you please send one of my sisters up to me as quickly as you can," said ariel. then the dolphin yelled, "but today is." "yes i know what's going on," ariel said in a serious tone, "but nevertheless this is urgent." "then i will go at once," said the dolphin as he then splashed back into the sea heading toward atlantis.

Arcato was brooding. "It is a shame to have gotten this close to the goal and still get refused. I don't want to do the obvious action, as it may not be necessary. Still, it is an option to consider."
He rose from his seat and went over to the wall of books. He removed a rather mavvise tome and placed it on a flat rock, opening it. "Let me hope that Sariana will succeed in her task. It would be tragic to destroy her as well."

Sariana surfaced gently, and swam over to the beach and hid behind a large rock. "Great." she said, as she pulled herself on the rock."She already been here, and she's got the princess on her side" She dived back into the water."I must tell him."

Ariana was impatient as she sat at the small table. Her fingers ran through her washed hair, the shimmering locks glistening in the soft lights from the sun that filtered in from the ceiling. She was dressed in a elegant long white gown that folded elegantly at her feet, covering her silver heels. They were the oddest thing she had ever seen, she couldn't understand how one would walk in such things... A soft sigh came from her lips as she braided the soft curls frightfully. They would come for her, for the mirror... Subconsiously she folded her hands over her heart again, feeling its pulse echo with her own. She had felt the most terrible of guilts when she had betrayed Sariana, she had wanted so badly to have a close relationship with her. To be more then sisters, to be eachothers companion, their confidant and friend. But such things were lofty hopes, heavy laden sorrows. Ariana looked up quickly when she heard the click of heels that meant the presence of Ariel, the soft murmurs of respectful titles that followed the queen whereever she went. "My lady, I do not mean to be bold. But I fear for our people... what can I do, waiting is too difficult a task for me."

"Where is he?" Sariana grumbled as she entered Arcato's lair.She floated around, with her arms folded. Sariana waited patiently for about half an hour, when fianlly Arcato arrived.

"Well, this is a pleasant surprise. What news have you?" Arcato placed a couple of books on his tab;e as Sariana glared at him.

Arcato greeted this news with little emotion.
"well, we have two choices at this point. We could try and outthink Ariel and your sister and bluff them into surrendering the shard. Or, we could just take it by force. Follow me."
They left the library and went to another part of his lair. Pushing aside a large rock, he entered a cave, bringing with him a lantern fish.
Sariana was close behind and was amazed at all the weaponry before her.
"I spend my time searching the wrecks that drift down here. You might find something here useful. We underestimated your sister's resolve last time; I am not anxious for a repeat. Take what you need."

Ah............. so this is why you're never here when I bunk off school. Hold your seahorses, my sister used the power of the mirror to turn herself human. You must have somthing equally as powerful? l* picking up a sword and pulling it out of its sheath*

"So it gets down to this. Very well."
Arcato left the room and came back with a large book, which he placed on a nearby table. He opened it to show it was a fake book. He gingerly picked up the piece of mirror from it.
"I have been collecting the broken shards of the mirror for years. I have it about 80 percent complete. Few realize the true power that this mirror holds. I will explain.
"Long ago, when Atlantica was actually the island of Atlantis, there was this mirror. Ah, but it was no ordinary mirror.
"It was rumored to have been constructed by the great sea witch, Briareisa, so that the merfolk would never forget who they are, where they came from or who their ancestors were.
"When every merfolk came of age, 16, each was required to touch this mirror. It held the essense of every merperson of Atlantis since it was founded. By touching the mirror, you imparted your essence into it and absorbed the essence of everyone else who had touched it.
Sariana sat spellbound as Arcato spoke.
"Alas, when Prince Toothus was spurned by Ariadne for marriage, he managed to withdraw the Eye of Zeus from the volcano, which sank the island. The mirror was rescued, but in pieces.
"That king, realizing the problems with the mirror in shards, decided to keep the biggest piece for himself, continuing the tradition, and hiding the rest. If the mirror was ever reassembled and fell into hands that were not as forgiving as the king, the full power of the mirror would be realized."
Sariana leaned forward, "What is that power?" Her eyes glowed in anticipation of the answer she already knew.
"Whatever you want. For us, total enslavement of the people of Atlantica!
Arcato withdrew the piece, cradeling it in a thick cloth. "The rest of the pieces I have are kept in a different location. This book holds the largest piece I have, rivaling that which is held by the castle. If they can do it, we can do it! We must go to the surface world!"

With hearing this Sariana was off like a rocket to the surface.

Adrina gasped for breath as she reached the surface. "you're finally here." said ariel in a serious tone, "please hurry, follow me." "this better be urgent ariel, i was eating..." adrina said in a sarcastic tone. they made it to the porch table where Ariana was sitting. "Ariana, this is my sister-" "Adrina!" said Ariana as she interuppted ariel. "uh, yes." answered ariel. "So wat was so 'urgent'" said Adrina laughing a little. "Ariana has the mirror." answered ariel in a low and whispering tone. Adrina gasped. "no this can not be!" "it is." said ariana quietly.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- i thought i let you, crystallinemermaid, finish out your sentence! . my goodness it is confusing with an adrina, ariana, and an ariel. so i hope i didn't mix up a part!

Sorry it took me so long! Finals were evil this year ^_^
"it is." said ariana quietly. She fingered the shimmering blond strands in her pale fingers. So much waiting was tourturous on her brilliant apperance. "I must keep it from Arcato, he means to bring death and slavery upon our people. To turn our land into that of barbarians far worse then that of primitive humans." Sighing sadly she slowly stood, "I will fight him with every breath I have within me, the mirror cannot fall into his hands or the hands of my sister. If you know any place, and cave that he cannot reach please help me to hide it there." She closed her hands over her heart again, wanting to keep the mirror frame safe as well as the innocents of the merfolk.

"well, i guess anywhere atlantis is dangerious," said adrina. "we could keep it here on land." suggested ariel. ariana and adrina both gaped at ariel. neither of them thought of that. it could work, but then again, the mirror getting into the hands of a human who has no knowledge how to use the mirror is just as dangerious as it is in the hands of evil. "i know just of the spot," ariel continued on saying. "ariel-"adrina was saying but got cut off by ariana. "its just as dangerious" said ariana quickly. the three then fought for the next hour on where they should put the mirror. after much debating they finally agreed on a place. then they all swore to each other never to tell anyone, not even king triton himself shall know what's going on.
