Head towards the beautiful tunnel
From Create Your Own Story
You decide that the best place to see first is the glorious tunnel. As you swim through it, many small, bright colored fish swim around you. Many brush your skin as they swim back into the luminous coral. Coral, in fresh water? You think. Something strange is happening. But somehow, the stunning beauty of this place makes you forget the out of place things. You finally reach the end in what appears to be a grotto, or what used to be. This cave now is filled with water, only a small, flat rise of sand. Come to think of it, you haven't breathed in a few minutes, how can you still be alive? You test to see if you can breathe, and you can! The water flows in and out of you nose like air. It must be caused by the same strange affect that allows coral to grow in freshwater.
You decide to swim to the sandy rise in the middle of the cave, which appears to be lighted by small luminescent plants. The rise has two large sponge coral near one end and a layer is sea grass covering it. It resembles a bed.
As you lay your hand on the bed, a figure pops from across it. Even though it seems more surprised than you, you yelp and fall back on to the jagged grotto floor and scrap you hand.
"Oh no! Oh no! I'm so sorry!" The thing says in a beautiful, feminine voice, "I'm so sorry I startled you! Are you ok?!" The figure rushes over to you and rest a hand on your shoulder and puts one on your cheek. This thing's face a perfectly human, with dark black hair, deep sea green eyes, and perfect lips. Next you move down to her torso. You discover that she is completely topless. Her breast are large like yours and her nipples are perfectly round. You didn't want to give yourself away and look further down. Her stomach is in perfect shape. Her top half alone and make guys (and you) crazy. The bottom half, her legs and waist, are fish. The orange-red scales appear to start at the wast and end in a delicate fin.
A mermaid!
Unable to speak for yourself, the mermaid lifts you up and sits you on the bed. It is softer than you imagined. The mermaid exams your scrapped arm. "Oh my, we need to heal this. Be back in a sec'" she says as she swims off into the tunnel from which you came. A small seahorse come from under the sea grass covers and nibbles at your hand before slowly swimming away. The mermaid comes back with a handful of blue sea grass, her breast ever-staying in perfect form. "Here, this can help," she says. She slowly wraps the blue grass around the minor injury and presses it down. You think that it would sting, but the medicine feels warm. As the mermaid unwraps the grass, the new skin is in the same color as your old one, not like a white scar like it usually is. "There we go, good as new!" she says. "Oh! My apologies. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Lania." she says in a smile, "What's your name?"
Finally being able to speak, you reply "I'm, uh, Sarah."
"Sarah... Interesting name," Lania says, "I've never met a Sarah before. Then again, I haven't met many people in the past couple of centuries. This mermaid is over 200 years old? But she looks like she's twenty! "What brings you to my home?" She asks.
"I was, uh, hiding from a friend," you answer, "I just, um, wanted to explore more than have sex."
"Oh," Lania says a little flourished from asking, "Well, you chose a bad place to explore, this lake is cursed."
"How so?"
"There is a dark spirit that lives in a cave not far from the entrance. He and his gigantic catfish have destroyed this region's ecosystem. My home is the only safe haven in this entire area." She goes to a cave wall and turns to you and ask, "Would you like some freshwater?"
"Uh, sure."
"I come from a sunken, saltwater city from long ago, but have always felt better in freshwater, that's why I moved here, before that spirit became aggressive." Lania hands you a mug made out of rock. The water should be flowing out of it, but it stays in the cup like water didn't surround it at all. As you talk a sip, the water is cold and refreshing. Lania stays towards her tunnel, in deep thought. You can't help staring at her breasts for a few milliseconds. "He has tried to take my home many times but never has. I brought with me my family's octopus guardians when I moved here, just to be safe. They have proven invaluable to me. They protect me and... Satisfy my desires." Lania looks away, blushing. "Sorry, that was out of line."
"Oh, no that was ok. We're women after all, we need release." You say.
The mermaid turns to you. "You said something about not wanting to have sex, do you not like it?"
You're surprised. "Oh no, I love sex, I mean I came here to this lake in order to have sex with my best friend Allison for a month and-"
"You're a lesbian?"
"Well, I'm actually bisexual, but it depends on who it is. Do you not like my sexuality?"
"Oh no! I love your sexuality-I mean it just surprise-I mean I thought a hot girl like yourself-I mean-" Lania studders
You laugh. "Hey, calm down. It's ok no harm done. Thank you for the compliment, your more beautiful than I am."
She blushes. "Oh, thank you, I just... I haven't been with someone in a long time... I thought..." she whispers as she brush your arm.
You are aroused (and ready to stop reading this short story) and bring your heads in close. "Well, how about I change that?" Lania smiles at you.
You give a a long soft kiss.
