mermaid mother&child -by Zariah

Mer-keiki Pimoe
Inside
 Ma-Limu's Womb
  
Maile gazed upon her
shell's spiral. "I wish
to go to Pimoe,
before the witch's dark
 barrier took over.
Only this time I am
here in the sea..."
Witch Puhi snatched
up the crystal ball,
about to fling it against
her jagged castle wall.
Then she glimpsed her
map of stars & planets.
"Wait- the mermaid
brat is not yet born..."
