For many years, the people of the sea demanded tribute from the people who call the land home for safe passage on the seas and fishing rights. And then one year, the land people refused to pay the required tribute. A long and bloody five year war resulted. Trade ships where sunk, fish that would usually be caught avoided nets. Those who traveled on the waters started carrying  weapons they usually wouldn't have. After serious loses to both sides, a truce was reached that would end the war. A marriage between the daughter of one of the most powerful merlords and the son of a pirate.<br/><br/>Cecelia sat on an outcropping of rock over looking the sea. Her legs, even though she knows how to use them, still feel unnatural, dangle over the edge of the rock. Tomorrow she will be married to a man she has never met. The deal between the nations being they have one year to consummate the marriage. As long as they and their descendants live, the land people would not have to pay tribute to the merfolk and the goddess Calypso. The black haired mermaid watches the sun set for a second, what can be seen in the man made cove, before shaking her long waist length hair out of her face and heading towards her the main mass of wrecked ships. The Pirate King was going to introduce her groom tonight at dinner. A short time late, she is dressed in a simple dress with her hair braided back waiting for the Pirate King and her groom to arrive.
