:'( Oh got tears in my eyes. My excuse will be allergies. This is my most favorite story on FictionPress. I love the mermaid/mermen stories and I am sad to see so few of them. I hope you will pick up the story again because I want to know what twist you will add to it. a few questions that I am pondering on: " will she end up with the prince or will you put two servants together(Malkia and Prince's servant)?" will there be revengeful fights between kailani and Malkia? and will the prince fall for that unsuspecting maiden that called for help? I am soooooo excited to see whether you will continue the story.

creativity: Very High ;D

It's sad to think that some day Malkia will be known as the sea witch one day when her sister is the one acting like a witch.

I'm glad they decided to be friends. Although, I still don't trust Kailani. I want Malkia to end up with the prince, but if this story ends like the original tale, neither of them will end up with him which is sad.

Now we get to learn about the soul language! Guess, I should have been patient and waited for this chapter. Oh well. Hmmm... I wonder if Kailani's tale is foreshadowing something. Maybe Malkia will get stuck on land sometime? Or am I completely off? Or should I just stop asking questions and read the story to find out? :P

She stiffened at my words; her eyes narrowing before she spoke, "a princess' affairs are of no concern to a servant-girl."

Edit: I'm not entirely sure; but I think "A..." should be capitalized.

-

"No," I said. "I don't even think they saw my fin. I believe the human thought I was some kind of illusion or trick of the light. I dived down deep.

Edit: You should put parenthesis at the end of the dialogue. This is just my suggestion, but I would suggest getting rid of "I dived down deep." Unless Malkia was diving down as she was talking with Kailani?

Another interesting chapter! I can't wait to find out what happens next. You have me hooked! :)

It's only the second chapter and my heart already goes out to Malkia. I love how curious and gentle she is. She's thoughtful and dares to venture to the Upper World, even though she's not allowed. I liked the contrast between her purple tail signifying illegitimacy while on land purple stands for royalty and power. Even though the grandmother is strict, you can still tell how much she loves her granddaughter. The oyster part was bittersweet. She only got one while her sisters get six, or eight in Kailani's case, yet she's proud of her single oyster.

There's nothing like being stuck in your younger sibling's shadow. :(

I also forgot to mention that I love your writing style. Everything flows together nicely and I could picture everything that happened. Well done!

Great chapter! I don't think I have a favourite character yet, I'll have to keep reading to decide! :)
