Sylvie swam around in her home, the caverns. To an outsider they were dark, scary and couldn't possible harbor any sort of life. However, swimming deeper one would find life, color and excitement. The caverns were teaming with exotic species of fish, other marine animals and mermaids with every fin color imaginable. The small buildings made of coral were grand and elegant framed by the deep blue color of the sea. Sylvie was nervous, today is the day she would go to their leader and request permissions to get closer to the human world, for not only humans but the other magical creatures she's heard about. Her only interaction with creatures outside of mermaids were of course, the marine animals. However, there have been stories, stories of humans that ride on silly contraptions that float on top of the water. However all too often they crash. Humans have these funny things called legs, they don't have scales rather hair. Now isn't that silly?
Sylvie approached the largest cavern, home to to the leader. She slowly swam inside and bowed before him respectively "Um sir, I am requesting your permission to journey out into the world of the land, at least as close as I am permitted. The king nodded thoughtfully for awhile before replying "Well I guess, you must however sign a contact detailing that you will not reveal any of our secrets nor take anyone to our caverns without our express permission. Sylvie was barely listening to him and just signed the contact blindly, what did it matter? She was free!
After meeting with the king she said her goodbyes to her family and packed up her bags for exploring.
