Prolog

…

Deep in the ocean was the kingdom of Middleton. Much like kingdoms on dry land, there were homes, businesses, farms. But most of the inhabitants were mer-folk, a sentient race that had the tails of fish but the upper body, head and arms of humans.

In the royal palace room, on a chair shaped coral, sat a young merman. He was young male with a dark blue tail. His human body was lanky, and his lean face had light brown hair. He wore a crown on his head and bracelets on his wrists. He was grim and impatient.

Suddenly a servant swam in. "She's ready to see you, King Possible."

The young king smiled. He got up and with a swish of his tail and swam out of the room, through some corridors and then reached a door where a young mermaid waited out. She bowed. "Your wife will be ready to see you."

"Good." The King said.

The nurse opened the door to allow her sovereign inside. There was a large nest with three nurses that surrounded a young mermaid. She was slender with short orange hair, blue eyes and a purple tail. She wore a blue sleeveless top. She looked up at her husband.

"Hello James." She said with a tired smile.

Hi Anne." The King said, looking at the nest.

Next to his wife were seven eggs. Merpeople weren't like humans. Once every few decades, a mother mermaid could lay several eggs which were cared for and usually hatched within a few months to several years. Anne had laid seven eggs which would one day hatch into baby merfolk.

"Their beautiful." Anne smiled.

King Possible looked the eggs with joy, wonder and fear. Would he be a good father? Would his offspring be the nobility? But despite his misgiving, he was happy."

Authornote/Behind the Scenes

This fic was inspired by another parody fic that was discontinued. The author ignored my PMs. But I radically deviated from the other fic so I shouldn't be breaking the copyright infringement rule on the FF site.

This fic was Beta Read. It's nice to have help. Iron sharpens iron. Friend sharpens friend.

Certain the trivia about Merpeople in this prolog was part of the story.
