The White Tail Arc Part 1: The Shadow of Thieves
Spoiler
It was the start of a new week and another Family Day in Sulani. Lir practiced his storytelling with his Father and Grandfather during the festivities.
Lir continued his story. "And that's when the pirates landed in Sulani, searching for the Hearts of Sulani."

"Captain Samwell Handwich had fortunes find him like a Rising Star, and the Hearts of Sulani were treasures given to him by many. The first was from Jocasta, a little girl from the distant Barnacle Bay."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569187195_7e28db3d6e_h.jpg
"Captain Samwell put on performances to gain wealth beyond imagination, and a pirate's life wasn't his choice. He came to Sulani after his vanity steered him wrong and his ship wrecked against the shores."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569186250_b844d1ab4f_h.jpg
"The island and its inhabitants offered him a chance. A way to leave his pirate life. He had nothing to lose, not even his companion, Red Beak."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568498123_868a6da348_h.jpg
"But, and this is where things get good. The Hearts of Sulani were Island Trinkets made to represent six hearts united by one. He wanted the one that would give him the wealth of six, and he hoped to find it among the islanders."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568939459_621806c1a9_h.jpg
"He was still a pirate until he had the wealth to leave. He just didn't know that the six hearts weren't objects, but the hearts of six merfolk. The seven hearts of the seven seas was what he wanted, a treasure beyond imagination. A treasure no one could obtain. The seventh heart united the other six."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568254766_a195dca0f3_h.jpg
"Many sailed across the seven seas to seven worlds, and still, no one could find the hearts because no one knew what to look for."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567458982_4b24202887_h.jpg
"Captain Samwell thought the Islanders knew, but only the merfolk knew what to look for. The islanders believed the seven hearts represented the colors of the seven seas, but the colors were actually seven different tail colors."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568254761_fe66332f24_h.jpg
"The captain placed his hopes into finding a myth. We know that the Seven Hearts are real because Kemps and Calum are the sons of the Sapphire Heart, the Sapphire Queen. But, they inherited their father's tail like all merfolk do."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568498093_e560162224_h.jpg
"So, hundreds of years later, the merfolk believe that the Sapphire Heart is truly lost. Each Heart is lost to time, lost to the Vengeance of the Darkfins."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569187145_596aa9af4d_h.jpg
"So, how did I do? Did I tell the story right? Personally, I wish Red Beak had a bigger role in the story."
"Not bad, but I think you still have a little room for improvement." Kylen said.
"I think he did pretty good. You're too hard on the boy." Reef Said.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568253541_35e9db3985_h.jpg
Later the next day, Aaron, Kylen, and Lir gathered around the pool.
"Guess what?" Kylen asked.
"Am I getting a new instrument to play? I'd love to practice the Violin." Lir said.
"No, we can't afford a new violin right now, but it's something even better than that." Aaron said.
"We got the go ahead to visit the Human World of San Myshuno with your Grandparents and Uncle. We even have new outfits to blend in with the humans." Kylen said.
"But, I like the way I look. Why do I have to dress like a human?" Lir protested.
"You shouldn't ask questions you know the answer to." Kylen lectured.
"We both know that it might be a little strange at first, but we have faith that you'll be able to handle yourself among humans." Aaron said.
"Thank you. I can't wait to tell Abalone and the guys about San Myshuno."

Tuesday, Geek Con was in town. Lir sang Karaoke for the first time and almost revealed what he was with his mermadic voice.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567459772_7928026761_h.jpg
After catching up with his Grandparents and Uncle, Lir and his Dads competed in the Gaming Contest. They lost, but the human game was fun none the less.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569186175_fa61730872_h.jpg
After Geek Con ended, Reef, Sara, and Rylan went home. Lir watched his dads sing a duet. They had a little more restraint singing, but they still had perfect pitch.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568254436_79247db841_h.jpg
Wednesday came quickly, but the Kailani's had a visit from an unwelcomed guest while they were away. Lir's dads were at work while he was finishing up school. Sarah entered their home and snatched a red abalone sea shell. She couldn't help herself when it came to the thrill of a steal. She had plans for a bigger heist.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568939174_a36d3cf71e_h.jpg
When Lir returned home from school, he was home alone. He didn't think much of it and went for a swim. He was greeted by a mermaid he hadn't seen before.
"So, the little merman decided to go for a swim. Are your dads around?" Sarah asked.
"No, who are you?" Lir answered.
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you do exactly what I say or you'll be an orphan again."
Lir saw her smiling with shark teeth, and he sensed danger. However, the mermaid had him cornered in the lagoon.
"I'll do whatever you ask. Just don't hurt my dads." Lir shivered in fear.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567459697_9c272c0a13_h.jpg
"That's a good boy. Now, listen closely to my song." Sarah sang a Night's Requiem that put Lir under a spell of deep sorrow that also made him malleable to manipulate.
"Now, you're coming with me. I have a special place where I'll keep you until I hand you over to an associate. He will be thrilled to meet you."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567459687_5aaccc2bbd_h.jpg
Lir snapped out of a daze and found himself inside a small, dark room. Standing in front of him, he saw the mermaid in her human form.
"You finally wake up, filthy bottom feeder."
Lir pulled back. For some reason, he couldn't open the door behind him.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567459662_c674603322_h.jpg
Sarah lunged toward Lir. The feint sent shivers through her prisoner.
"This isn't happening. Father, dad, where are you?" Lir huddled under the cover his arms.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568939109_43c54d94c6_h.jpg
Lir held back his tears. "Why are you doing this? What have I done to you to deserve this?!"
"It's not what you did. It's what your parents and their friends did, my prince."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568254326_a58115a665_h.jpg
"Prince? I don't understand. I'm a noble, not a prince."
"My sweet little merman. Your dads haven't been honest with you. This will make things a lot more fun."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567458822_0d3deb1011_h.jpg
"Let me tell you what will happen. I brought you here because I made a deal with Damion. He told me how I could finish off the Zalrian Bloodline in exchange for three souls of the sea. Can you guess who I'm going to offer him? I'll save you some time. I'm going to give him your soul, and then I'm going to give him the Souls of the Regent's twin nephews. And with a simple heist, me and my siblings will finally have our revenge against the Sapphire Queen and the Abalone King."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568497723_f35e15a52c_h.jpg
Kylen came home from work and searched the house, but he couldn't find Lir anywhere.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568497693_63ee15022d_h.jpg
"Aaron, did you find him in Ohan'Ali?!" Kylen turned to his husband.
Aaraon embraced Kylen. "There's no sign of him. The locals didn't see anything either."
"There's still one way to find out." Kylen said.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568497673_23ecd347bf_h.jpg
Kylen was the heir of an Ancient Merfolk Bloodline, and he had the power to commune with Sulani's Spiritual Energy. He focused on his son, and reached out to the Ancient Elementals beyond the realm of the living. With their guidance, he was shown San Myshuno. A thunderstorm raged over the city, and he knew where his son was. When Kylen and Aaron arrived, humans were running for cover as lightning struck the city.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569186735_dabd1d76b7_h.jpg
Aaron encountered a young mermaid and recognized her immediately.
"You have some nerve. Didn't you learn your lesson when the Royal Council banished you?"
Sarah stared down Aaron. "What Royal Council? Last time I checked, there wasn't one."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568497488_a61b836cb3_h.jpg
"And speaking of Royals, your little prince won't be around much longer."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567459462_56fbe8537a_h.jpg
Aaron refused to believe her. Before the mermaid could get away, Aaron sang Aegean's Question. Sarah struggled to move. The song made her feel unfocused and rigid. Kylen slipped away in the direction the mermaid came from.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569186035_bdc365e635_h.jpg
Kylen snuck into an apartment and found his son sleeping in a dark room. He was under the influence of the mermaids magic, and he could sense a ward on the door. He was so close to his son, but he was just beyond his reach.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51567459392_7bd114ea48_h.jpg
Eventually, Aaron's spell wore off and Sarah raced back to the apartment, worried that her prize might be taken from her. Aaron caught up to her and began fighting the mermaid. The two merfolk had super human strength and were an even match. Still, Aaron got the upper hand.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568938269_c5546e29d1_h.jpg
After winning the fight, the mermaid conceded defeat and gave the mermen access to the room their son was in.
"Wake up lazy fish." Kylen said.
Lir stirred and began to turn. "Father?"
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569186565_ea67f348a6_h.jpg
Lir jumped out of bed and hugged his father. "I almost gave up."
"How did you end up here?" Kylen squeezed his son.
"She threatened to go after you if I didn't do what she asked. She sang a Night's Requiem, and I didn't have a choice."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51569186535_0b65ea4bdc_h.jpg
Lir let go of his father and hugged his dad. Aaron made sure that Sarah was gone before entering the room.
Aaron squeezed his son. "You should know better than that. We aren't that easy to take out."
Kylen looked down and cliched his fists. "She should know better? The Darkfins were banished."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568253351_3e59a65574_h.jpg
Later that night, Lir sat with Kylen by the pool. Lir was a bit upset with his Father giving him a 7 pm curfew, but he didn't want to run into that mermaid again.
"Father, am I a Prince?" Lir asked.
"Did that Darkfin tell you that?"
"She said that I was a prince, and she's after Dylan and Zephyr too. I don't know what she plans to do, but I have to know. Am I a prince?"
Kylen sighed. "I was worried that you would figure it out from the stories we told you. I never expected a Darkfin to tell you. Yes, Lir, you are one of the lost princes. We knew it when we found you. Your the Abalone King's son, the White Heart of Sulani."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568497383_1b53cba634_h.jpg
Back in San Myshuno, Damion let himself into Sarah's apartment.
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568253321_2f6697b127_h.jpg
"I was promised a Heart of Sulani, and here you are watching sports TV. How could you lose him just before I could collect?"
"It was his dads. I don't know how, but they found him and took him back. I can still get you his soul."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568938749_0255114007_h.jpg
"Remember, we have a contract. You owe me three Souls of the Sea."
"You'll have the White and Blue Hearts of Sulani for your collection. I'll get you their souls. I just need more time."
Damion sighed. "Spare me the theatrics, I'll give you more time."
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51568253771_bf050c86d7_h.jpg
Lir continued his story. "And that's when the pirates landed in Sulani, searching for the Hearts of Sulani."
