[·Chapter Thirteen: Atlantis and Ardglass·]

Zara's POV

"Miss are you okay?" A lady asked me.

"Yeah Zara is okay, wait yout the mermaid that Zara saved right?" I asked.

"Holy crap! You the empress of water!" The mermaid said.

"Huh?"

"Yeah! I love your mermaid tail by the way." The mermaid said as I looked down to see I had shiny midnight blue tail.

"Well that's new." I said quietly.

"I'm Mizuki by the way." The new found Mizuki-chan said as she grabbed my hand and we started swimming.

"Nice to meet you Mizuki-chan question where are we going?" I asked.

"Atlantis." Mizuki-chan said winking.

"Wait Zara thought Atlantis doesn't exist?" I asked.

"It dose it's just been in hiding sorta." Mizuki-chan answered.

"Okay we're here." Mizuki-chan said as my jaw dropped. It was amazing! I've never believed that Atlantis was real but now that I'm seeing it with my own eyes its amazing.

"You like?" Mizuki-chan asked.

"Heck yeah! Zara loves it!" I said amazed, then I noticed that everyone was staring at me.

"Um Mizuki-chan... why are they staring at Zara weirdly?" I asked.

"It's been a while since people have seen the water empress." Mizuki-chan answered winking as I saw a familiar face from the corner of my eye.

"Luke-sama?" I asked quietly, weird just have been my imagination.

"Come on Zara-chan I'm gonna show you around." Mizuki-chan said.

"Atlantis is amazing." I said as me and Mizuki-chan walked around town.

"You got that right." Another mermaid said, she had long blue hair that was styled up into a loose braid. She had a shiny purple tail and was wearing a light blue shirt.

"Ari!" Mizuki-chan said as she hugged the new found Ari tightly.

"Nice to see you too Mizuki but can you stop hugging me so tightly I think I might pop!" Ari said as Mizuki-chan let her go.

"Oh! My! God! Your Zara, the water empress!" Ari said excitedly.

"Apparently." I said as Ari hugged me.

"And you say I hug you to tight." Mizuki-chan said rolling her eyes.

"Well you do!" Ari shot back.

"Do not!" Mizuki-chan.

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"Do not!"

"Do too!"

"STOP!!" A women yelled splitting up the both of them up.

She had sliver hair like Lizzie-chan's tied up into a tight ponytail, she also had a beautiful gold shiny tail and she was wearing a white crop top.

"Oh so sorry for my friends. These two can cause a ruckus at times." The lady said apologizing.

"It's okay Zara is used to people arguing." I said.

"Oh where are my manners, I'm Reika, I work at the crown jewel restaurant, and for some reason these two barbarians friends." Reika explained chuckling a little bit

"Hey! We're not barbarian!" Mizuki-chan and Ari said.

"Well you guys are a little bit like barbarians." A familiar voice said.

"Luke-sama?"

"Oh hey Zara I didn't see you there." Luke-sama said as I gave him a hug.

"You know Zara?" Ari asked.

"Yeah... um we meet in the forest on land a couple of days ago." Luke-sama said lying about how we met.

"Well come on we have ti finsh showing Zara around Atlantis." Mizuki-chan said as she and Ari and Reika walked in front of me and Luke-sama.

"Luke-sama why did you lie about how we met?" I asked.

"Cause they would freak out and try to hunt down Rose and kill her." Luke-sama explained.

"Makes sense. But what's with all the decorations?" I asked.

"Oh there is a celebration for the creation of Atlantis at the palace."

"Hey come on I want to get ready before the celebration starts." Reika said as she dragged me and Luke-sama towards the palace.

[·Later that night: Luke's POV·]

"What the heck is taking Reika and Zara so long?" I asked a little annoyed.

"We're here I wanted to fix Zara's hair a little. Reika said as Zara came out from behind Reika.

She was beautiful. Her hair beautiful midnight blue hair was in loose curls that went all the way down to her back with a little triar on top.

"Y-you look really pretty Zara." I said complimenting her.

"Thanks." Zara said as we walked inside.

Reika and Ari instantly ran to the bar,while Mizuki followed behind them.

"Lets dance." I said as I pulled Zara to to dance floor.

"So Atlantis, you like it so far?" I asked Zara.

"Zara love it, but what about Rose? I don't want to Zara doesn't want to put Atlantis in danger." Zara answered worriedly as we started dancing.

"Your not putting Atlantis in danger, even if you were you would fight off rose instantly." I said confidently.

"But Zara has a bad feeling about all of this." Zara said

"Font worry Zara we will be fine." I said reassuringly as I kissed her forehead, Zara then started blushing.

'Hey what are you doing talking to lil bitch?' A voice in my head asked.

'What? Who are you?'

'Oh Luke I'm sure you remember me, I'm Rose remember the girl who brought back Danganronpa a couple of years ago, and I'm the one who tortured Zara!' Rose said.

'What the heck do you want!?'

'Nothing, nothing but I've been carful around Zara if I were you. She is gonna become a lot more dangerous.' Rose warned me.

'Please Zara isn't dangerous. That's you, well sorry your a crazy person!' I yelled.

'Fine don't listen to me! Doubt blame me when Zara starts attacking you like a crazy animal!' Rose said as she left my head.

With Rebecca (Rebecca's POV)

"Oh course I would be somewhere cold!" I said as I looked up to see it was lightly snowing.

"My why are you only wearing a tangtop and short, its -15 degrees out here!?" A lady with pink hair and a light blue parka asked.

"Well I'm used to the cold, so yeah." I said.

"Hey miss where is the nearest town or village from here?" I asked.

"Its just sou-" the lady said before I cut her off.

"Lady watch out!!" I yelled as there was a huge pile if snow coming towards us. Luckily I used my magic to stop the snow and melt it.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Y-yeah, wow lady how did you do that?" She asked.

"Ice vessel powers. I'm Rebecca by the way." I said as she shook my hand

"Thanks for saving me Rebecca. I'm Asaka." The new found Asaka said hugging me

"So where is this village you where talking about?" I asked as Asaka nodded.

"Ardglass is not that far from here." Asaka said as we started walking north.

"So Rebecca-san why are you in the Arctic?" Asaka asked.

"Um here's the thing. Rose she's back, and she's after means and my friends. So Rachel, you probably don't know her, gave us each a pearl and once you smash it the pearl will take you to the safest place possible for your element. And apparently that's here." I explained.

"W-wh-what she's back!?" Asaka said getting scared.

"Yes, but don't worry we are literally in the one place Rose would never look." I said hopeful.

"Oh we're here!" Asaka said she walked towards this little village. It had igloos everywhere and some tents, but for the Arctic it was pretty cool.

"Welcome to Ardglass, Rebecca." Asaka said as a little girl with brown hair and a white parka ran up to Asaka.

"Asaka your back!!" The little girl said.

"Hi Lilly." Asaka said as she hugged Lilly back.

"Who's she?" Lilly asked pointing at me

"I'm Rebecca." I said introducing myself.

"She saved me from the avalanche." Asaka said as Lilly hugged me.

"Lilly what did I saw about hugging strangers!" A lady scolded.

"Sorry mama." Lilly said apologizing.

"I'm sorry about Lilly, and you Asaka, what did I say about leaving the village?" The lady asked.

"Not to leave the village without adult supervision." Asaka mockingly said.

"And what did you do?" The lady asked.

"Leave the village without adult supervision." Asaka said annoyed.

"You could've been killed by that avalanche!" The lady said.

"But I was fine Rebecca-san saved me!" Asaka explained.

"Thank you Rebecca, I'm Sakura." Sakura said shaking my hand.

"Here lets go to my igloo." Sakura said as we entered Sakura's igloo.

"So Rebecca why are you in Ardglass?" Sakura asked as Asaka explained everything.

"Wait Rose is back!? And Rachel is alive!? I haven't see her in forever. But besides that you can stay here as long as you like." Sakura said as she handed me some tea.

"Hey miss Sakura where do you want me to put the fresh batch of ice" a boy about my age asked. He had black hair and red eyes.

"Oh hey Grayson! Perfect timing!" Sakura said smirking as she looked at me and back at Grayson.

"What's with that smirk?" We all asked.

"Nothing nothing. Hey Grayson we need more fruit so go to ice forest and get some, oh and take Rebecca with you." Sakura said as me and Grayson walked out of the igloo.

Grayson's POV

What the heck is that girl planning!?

"I'm Rebecca." The new found Rebecca said introducing herself.

"Grayson." I said as we walked into the ice forest.

"So tell me about yourself, Rebecca." I said as we sat down under one of the trees.

"Lets see I'm originally from London. I am a complete nerd. My mom died when I was young, my dad beat me up everyday after she died saying it was my fault. Then I lived in an orphanage for 13 years and then got beat up again everyday. When I left the orphanage I went into baking. 3 years later Vanessa and the others found me, I got a note from my mom daying I was the ice vessels. And now but even a couple of days ago a girl named Daphne kidnapped me and tortured me, and now I have to stay in the Arctic!" Rebecca explained tearing up.

"Great now I scared you off." Rebecca said.

"The exact opposite actually." I said hugging her

"I'm fine, I don't need your hug, I'm fine." Rebecca said backing away from me.

"Rebecca your not fine, you obviously had this all balled up inside of you for a while." I said as I looked into her hazel eyes.

"Grayson..." she said hugging me tightly.

"Shh... shh... I know what your going through." I said rubbing her back.

"N-no you don't! No one does!" Rebecca said as she let go of me.

"Yes I do. My mom and dad died when I was 5 years old. I then went to go live with my godmother who basically treated me like a slave. And when she was finished with me she threw me into the ocean, that's when Sakura found me. She taught me magic and basically treated me like a son." I explained as Rebecca looked at me as she started crying.

"I've never told anyone that." Rebecca said between sobs.

"I know but your okay now right?" I asked as Rebecca nods.

"Thank you Grayson..." Rebecca said smiling.

"For what?" I asked.

"For not running away, you couldn't of left at anytime but you stayed." Rebecca said as she leaned on my shoulder.

"Your welcome, Rebecca." I said as we fell asleep.
