The iceberg was her palace. For the next few hours, at least.
The mermaid loved icebergs. Those enormous structures of ice, idly gliding
through the earthly seas, were the closest thing to magic she’d found in this
world. This one was a thing of light and splendor, even under the surface.
The mermaid placed a slender hand on the iceberg’s jutting edge and closed
her eyes, relishing the feel of the icy water as it shifted through her hair. It
was pitch-black down here in the water, several feet under the surface, or at

everything as her long, iridescent tail coiled under the icy underwater
mountain.
The mermaid had no human name, but she’d chosen one for herself
centuries ago, when she’d met a group of Greek heroes sailing home from

She kept coming back, even when it wasn’t asked of her for one of the
Kingdom’s missions.
There was no time in her Kingdom, at least not as the humans’ time flowed,
fast, ruthless, robbing them of everything. There was no emotion either, no
love or hate. Those things brought out weaknesses, and she’d seen how they
destroyed the humans over and over again. Still, she observed.
This time around, she’d arrived at the Human World during the season the
humans called spring—in the month of April. She’d traveled on an Arctic
iceberg from the Land of Glaciers, chopping it off of a continent made of
ice with a single flick of her wrist. Every creature of her kind in the
Kingdom could manipulate water. It obeyed their orders, and they could do
