Chapter 11: N'Shal and Eeba Meet the Naiads

Image
     One day,  the two oldest mermaid  princesses, N'Shal and Eeba,  visited N'Shal's undine friend Cachina.  Cachina invited them to meet some naiads in a group called Aquatic Watch.      Aquatic Watch is a neighborhood watch group consisting of undines, melusines, naiads, and woodland fairies.  They hope to complete their group by recruiting some mermaids.  Aquatic Watch is headed by a naiad known as Sunshine.        Unofficially a human couple named Dale and Hazel Hill are associate members. Dale is a craftsman.  Hazel and Sunshine had been friends since they were little girls.      The naiad language is more comprehensible when you read it out loud.  For example, " Cummin seddas bel," translates as, "Welcome to our home;" and,  “ Gotsum forners.  Tooavum.

Chapter 18: Emily and Amelia's New Life in the Palace

     Prince Arthur invites five friends for a picnic at his favorite "alone" spot, Audrey Meadows, located along the shore of Veronica Lake, in Rudy Valley.  The friends are Prince Brian, Glenn Kellerman, Emily, Amelia, and Emily's Cairn terrier Hero.      As they're enjoying their picnic lunch, Ghasan the Assassin makes another attempt on Prince Arthur's life.  Before he can pull the trigger, a bird snatches away his hat and causes him to fall from his tree.  On the ground, the injured Ghasan is sprayed by a skunk, suffers other embarrassments, and runs away in humiliation.      Just as the six friends are getting ready to leave, the brake on Amelia's Bath chair slips and the Bath chair rolls down the slope with Amelia helplessly holding on.  The Bath chair crashes into a large rock called Oliver Stone and sends Amelia hurling into Veronica Lake.      Fearing that Amelia will drown, Kellerman jumps ...
