It was a bright day in Verona and as Julian traveled to the Wishing Mermaid Lagoon, he felt a bit nervous as he looked at the outfit given to him.
It was more like a suit that covered everything from his entire neck down to his feet and was made of a material that prevented his skin from coming in contact with both the coral and seaweed. He had a small bag and even a knife to collect them.
The Wishing Mermaid Lagoon was frequented by visitors and travelers, not so much by the inhabitants of Verona themselves.
Even something named after Mermaids often got thrown into the background if somebody lived their entire life there. Julian and Rowena who had heard of the gossip of a portal to the Mermaid realm came here to see it for themselves.
"I guess compared to Rowena, I'll actually get to see if there are mermaids," Julian said to himself.
When he arrived at the Wishing Mermaid Lagoon, he was surprised to see there was nobody around.
