 Modern Mermaid at a Rock

Mermaids are an ancient legend.  But they are more than that.  Mermaids and indeed Merpeople still exist and live in the oceans of the world.  They live a secretive life from we mortals.  They have their own form of magic to keep themselves and their underwater cities and villages concealed from humans and our scanning gadgets.  On the horizon is a modern ship, so you know this is a Modern Mermaid.  

Merpeople are actually kind of a form of Fairy.  They live for a long time compared to mortals and while alive their appearance of aging is far less than mortals.  When a Merperson chooses to they can climb onto land and transform into what looks like a mortal person.  (They have legs.)  Of course, you may not know that some Merpeople DO have legs, but they also have webbed feet.  These types of Merpeople also can transform into a more mortal form.  

Some Merpeople have fallen in love with mortals and those Merpeople choose to live a life among mortals.  Contrary to what you might have heard, a Mermaid or Merman does not return to their natural finned form just by getting wet.  They actually think or say a transformation charm to transform.  Otherwise, a Mermaid who was married to a mortal man would soon be revealed due to a rainstorm, etc.  I should add that all mortals who fall in love with a Merperson certainly know the full truth about their mate.  

A Merperson who is in mortal form can still breathe water.  That is, they have curtain lungs and can absorb oxygen from both air and water.  Mermaids and Mermen do NOT have gills.  In fact, Mermaids are known for being exceptionally beautiful.  They come in many races, just like mortals do.  Which brings up something else.  Some mortals who fall in love with a Merperson are also in love with the sea.  These mortals choose to live a Merperson life.  The Merperson love of their life can use a special charm to transform the mortal into a Mermaid or Merman form.  

Now, since I am a retired Science Teacher... Look for the following animals:  coral, crab, brain coral, two clownfish, a sea anemone, and five sea birds.  Of course, the Mermaid is also in Kingdom: Animalia. Then there is one member of Kingdom: Plantae... it is the seagrass.  There is one member of Kingdom Protista.  It LOOKS like a plant but it IS in Kingdom: Protista.  It is the kelp.
