Free at last




Due to be married to the Dark Prince Camulus , Eshara belonged to a royalty of god and goddesses that ruled the sea and land of Kingdom Earth. She was always wary of her father, King Teutates who has been given dominion over the coastal population and sea creatures, for being part of the scheme of non intervening in the affairs of humans despite numerous wars and famine, tribal rivalry, jealousy, rebellion, and lately the killing of each others’ children that threaten to wipe civilization from the face of this world. She had always supported her father’s decisions with pride but sometimes, they stood on the verge of apathy to the plights of the people, almost to the point of cruel silence.
One day, in the quiet of dawn,as she was looking down at the fishing village of Inuit, a sweet sorrowful music from a lute being played by a lonely sea hunter captivated her. Heartstriken for the people of the war torn country and desirous to know the man better, she tore herself from her lofty abode, and made the floor of the ocean her permanent home. Due to her immortality, she could only live as a mermaid (she was worshipped by the sea creatures as a goddess), but that was enough to get her near to the people that she loved and the hunter everytime he went to sea for his catch.
