Backstory
Maraina the Empress of Niagara is a young queen. Her marriage was arranged since she was born. When she came of age to marry her husband was very old and could not father children. Not that she wanted to have his children anyway. He was rude and pompous and his touch made her want to crawl out of her own skin. Three years passed and the old king still had not passed. Maraina grew tired and sad. She hated being in a loveless marriage. She wanted romance and true love. One day when she was on one of her many swims in the ocean not far from her kingdom she came across a boat, anchored close to the shore of a small island. Poking her golden head from the sea to investigate she was vulnerable. Then all of a sudden she was swept out of the water by her arm and thrown on the deck of the ship. "I caught a mermaid! I caught a mermaid!" One of the sailors shouted. "She'll make a good sum to the right buyer." Chimed another. Maraina was frozen still in fear. She slowly tried to inch away from the grungy men but the advanced on her as quickly retreated. Just then a loud bang could be heard from the head of the ship. A large man in a blue uniform walked up to the commotion. "What do we have here?" he asked, When he saw Maraina his eyes went wide and a sudden flash of anger could be seen on his face. "Get back to your stations immediately!" some of the men tried to object but a sharp glare from the young captain sent them scuttling back to their duties. The young man looked down at Maraina, his eyes soft and filled with pity. Maraina stared up at his, bewildered. Why was he helping her, she wondered. "May I touch you?" he asked her. Maraina couldn't explain it but she trusted him somehow. She nodded her head. Swiftly the young captain lifted her up in his arms and swept her away to his quarters, away from prying eyes. He sat her down on his bed which was dressed in cotton linens and a warm wool blanket. She wanted to know more about this man who had rescued her. Her language and theirs weren't so different so she spoke aloud. "Who are you? Why did you save me?" the man simply looked at her and said. "I had a dream I was to meet a lovely woman will long blond hair and eyes like the ocean. I was sure you were her the moment I laid eyes on you. Besides, I wasn't going to let my men harass or hurt you. That would be inhumane.. Oh and my name is Derek." he said with a sheepish smile. Maraina smiled as well and that is where it all began. After that day Maraina would wait every other week at that island to see Derek. Soon their affair led to a pregnancy after Maraina used a witch's pendant to become human for the hours of the night. The Emperor was furious when he learned of the young love and the child conceived from it. So in a fit of rage he swam out to the ship while it was still away from the island and created a storm so awful it sank the ship and killed everyone inside. When the emperor returned he was drained and sickly and that night he passed in his sleep. Maraina was finally free. She rejoiced in that old man's departure from the living world. She went to the island with the wonderful news. But when she got there the ship was nowhere to be seen. So she waited and waited. After two weeks Maraina gave up, her heart broken. Months go by and the young empress doesn't talk to anyone except her advisers. Then the birth of her child put the whole kingdom in a stir. No one knew it was not the emperors's child except for her. So they all celebrated the coming of the heir to the throne of Niagara. A little girl named Lila. Maraina had never been happier than when she held her darling daughter in her arms. She had her blond hair but she had Derek's green eyes. She was all she had left of her lover. So Maraina spent every chance she could with her, telling her stories of her father and legends of the sea.


Ok so if you read all that kudos to you. If not please attempt to. Since the emperor has died there will be a main emphasis on crowning another so suitors will be needed!

Thanks for reading. I hope you will join me!
