EXCERPT:

“Folks, what you are going to learn tonight will shock you to your core. I am joined by Queen Awa, the regent who previously ruled over a colony of mermaids near Dakar, Senegal.” She paused, and the producer cut to a wide shot. “Welcome back to the show, Queen Awa.”

“Many thanks for allowing me to be here again, Harper."

“You recently suffered a tragedy, did you not?”

“That’s putting it mildly, to be frank. My queendom was the target of a mass genocide.”

Harper opened her eyes dramatically. “Wait, what are you saying?

That the tsunami that hit the coast of Senegal, causing devastation to your colony, wasn’t a natural disaster?”

“No, no, no,” Awa clucked. “There was no natural cause for what happened to my people. It was supernatural. In fact, in your world, you might call it magic. Witchcraft. Sorcery. And there are only two individuals powerful enough to cast such a spell. Queen Zale of Greece and Queen Karen of California.”

Harper placed her hands on her cheeks à la Home Alone for pronounced effect. “You always turn my understanding of the world upside down, Queen Awa. So, let me see if I understand. Please allow me to break this down for the humans watching. You are saying that your nation was attacked... by other mermaids? With... um... magic?”

“Indeed. Only this wasn’t some harmless spell. It was an unsanctioned act of terror... which also means that it was a very clear declaration of war,” Queen Awa stated matter-of-factly.

“War?” Harper gasped.

“I never imagined this would happen during my reign, but, yes, we are now in the midst of the first Mermaid Civil War.”

Queen Awa narrowed her eyes and looked down the barrel of the camera lens, speaking in Atargatis to any mermaid who might see the video. “Merfolk, choose your sides carefully. The power of the Gracious Tides has been corrupted. Before there is peace, there will be war.”
