Chapter 3: Pearl
A baby girl opened her eyes for the very first time. Her parents gasped in fear. Her eyes... Her eyes were blue. Blue was the sacred color, that no nymph ever had. Purple, green, pink... any color was possible under the sea if it was a color that the fauna and flora possesed. But blue... The only nymph that had blue eyes was the Hunter of the Seas, Lord Gabriel.
"Darling, what should we name her? We can't call her something natural, it'll affect the good luck of Aquafina."
"Pearl, then. Pearl is rare, it can only be found in clams, which are really painful." Brooke whispered. He had memories of the day a clam nearly cut of his hand.
"Pearl?" Aqua repeated, "Pearl Leung? It does not match the style we had for centuries! Why not Marina? Or Cerulean?"
"I would like to, darling, but she's... she's not like us. She's..." he waved his hand, "Strange."
"Goo goo?" said the little baby, "Ga ga?"
"She can speak! She's only a few days old!" exclaimed Aqua.
"She's wise, smarter than the rest. Pearl, just like a wise nymph's crystal ball, but murky and strange."
"Then Pearl it is." Aqua kissed the little baby's forehead, "Welcome to Aquafina, Pearl Leung."
