12 Chapter 12

Neo looked at Queen Asando's tail, trying to see where it ended due to its long length. Her crown was rich with crystals and gold. Neo felt uncertain how to act around one so majestic. Was she expected to bow or cursty?

"Queen, this is my daughter Zangori," Tunga introduced Neo. Neo clung to him like no other.

"The human" Sazhi said "Tunga has befriended humans, so much that he allowed them to raise his daughter. That is treason because our law states that we must not deal with land beings" he added. Tunga knew Sazhi would make things difficult for Neo because she was his daughter.

"She is a mermaid," Queen Asando said while looking at Neo. Her hand touched Neo's head "Born in Odunda. I remember her, Sazhi. I've touched her head and felt her energy signature when she was still a baby so I know her. One's energy signature never changes no matter how far from home they go" she added with a smile. Tunga nodded "Leave us, Sazhi" the queen ordered.
