Prologue

Mermaids. Mythical creatures with tails, living in the ocean. Fairy tales always talked about them, brushing their long hair, sitting on a rock, singing…yeah, you get the picture. But mermaids were just stories to amuse little kids. Mermaids never really existed, right? WRONG. In the Alice Country, there are many unusual things. The people living there all have powers called "Alices", and attend Alice Gakuen, a school for the children who had an Alice. But anyway, aside from the Alices, lived many other creatures. Mermaids.

"When I can I go see the surface?"

Her mother tensed. She was worried, because the surface world was dangerous. Even though everyone in the Alice Country had powers, her daughter's power had not been activated yet. She was too young to use them. Despite all her worries, she said to her daughter, "When you are 10, Mikan. If you're going to go to the surface, make sure you have Hotaru with you then," Hotaru was another 5-year-old girl, and she was Mikan's best friend. The brunette, Mikan, nodded. She was a 5-year-old mermaid with a pink tail where her legs were supposed to be. Her medium-length hair was tied into 2 pigtails with pink ribbons. She had chocolate brown eyes, and nodded at her mother.

"Okay, Mama…"

"And be very careful of the humans," Her mother warned.

Mikan nodded again.

"Yes…Mama…"
