The Dark Paradise
Chapter 3
The Isle of Tides is a secluded and mysterious island located in the heart of an expansive, Pacific Ocean. It is surrounded by pristine, crystal-clear waters that are teeming with vibrant marine life. The island itself is adorned with lush, tropical vegetation, including palm trees, exotic flowers, and vibrant coral reefs. Beneath the surface of the water lies a hidden underwater kingdom that serves as the home to the mermen. This kingdom is built from iridescent seashells, coral, and translucent materials, creating a breath taking and otherworldly city beneath the waves. The architecture reflects the beauty and harmony of the ocean, with shimmering structures that glow softly in the dark depths.
The mermen spend their day time in the water Kingdom and during the night time they turned themselves as a human and stay in the Island. The mermen and mermaids were very kind and vibrant in nature. The king of the merman group is King Jengu, He is a strong man with so many super powers. He can manipulate the weather; healing abilities, super human strength, and also longevity. The stone is the thing which give special power to all the mermen. Every merman definitely has one super power, but the king only has all the above powers. They are living their life happily.
Roberts, Grim, Jack and Balthazar reach the Island at night. The mermen are astonished to see the Humans in their village. They four of them make up a story that they lost their way due to the storm so, unknowingly they reach this Island. They requested to King Jengu, “Respectable merman King, please allow us to stay here till we made up our ship after that we will move to our place”. The kind hearted mermaid king also agree for their stay in the Island.
During the day time they split and search around the Island but they could not find any thing about the stone. So, they start to behave well with the natives and indirectly enquired about the stone. Finally, they get their answer from one of the oldest mermen in the Island, Havmand. He is one of the respectable men in the Island. He informs to them that the stone is kept in a secret chamber in the palace under water. No one exactly know the where abouts of the secret room except the king. But ten years once on a no moon day, they bring the stone to the island and worship it for the welfare of the mermen, on that particular day the merman loses their super power. They call it as Elixir Day. At the end of the ritual Triton appears before them and return back their powers. So they decorate the whole Island to welcome their God, Triton and celebrate in a prosperous manner. Havmand also informs that the Elixir Day is nearing which is on the next no moon day.

The Bewitching lake
In the remote village of Netherfield, shrouded by the embrace of ancient woods and the whispers of rolling hills, there existed a lake of such stillness it was as though the world held its breath in its presence. This was the Bewitching Lake, a body of water so captivating in its beauty that it seemed otherworldly. Yet, the villagers spoke of it with a mix of reverence and dread, for the lake held secrets darker than the deepest night.

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.
