Description
The Weeping Mermaid.

How could he, a beast called sea creature talk to her like that? Of course she would find love, and of course there never would be a man who could ever reject her. She would never live her all life alone. She had servants, and soon a husband. She, the most beautiful and rich mermaid in the whole ocean would marry a man; he’ll just wait and see.

That was her thought, after seeing the oracle. The oracle, thousands of years old, wiser than the foundation that builds this earth, stronger than the powers that shape it, and more confusing than the weather that forms it was an all seeing creature, and he could tell about the past, the present and the future. His glowing eyes could see through flesh and bone. A magnificent treasure lived and grew on his back, small gems and precious silver, glittering by the sunlight, capturing for anyone who laid his eyes on him. This morning, the spoiled mermaid paid him a visit, asking about her true love. The Oracle, who has no interest in mermaids business, gave her his vision and asked her to leave, causing her anger. Never in her life have someone behaved like that to her. Living in an underwater palace of crystals and gold, with hundreds of servants who could look after her temper, she never met a person who could send her away. But now as she was growing, knowing she wasn’t a girl anymore, she thought about taking a husband, a loyal friend who could please her needs.

So the day came when she fell in love with a rich prince. He was beautiful, smart and pleasing, and a prince besides! But as an unmarried prince, she had to compete against other mermaids, trying to win his love. Blind of love, she didn’t see that he was arrogant and even more spoiled than her. She was also too comfortable to even try to overcome her opponents, used to have everything coming to her. She was beautiful, dressed in pearls and with long dark blue hair, graceful and rich, which man could ever reject her, the prince crawled for her, she thought.

So when the prince married another mermaid, even more beautiful than her, she was heartbroken. She tried to buy her pain away, by getting even more pearls and diamonds. In her big palace of crystals and gold, along with all her servants, she was very alone. Crying herself to sleep, banning herself for her laziness, she suddenly swam away. Far away in the big blue ocean she swam, until she could swim no further. She felt her heart beating strong inside. It hurt in a way she didn’t understand, and so many thoughts rushed through her confused mind. His rejection hunted her. Under the silver lights of the moon she ripped her heart out, trying to escape the pain. And so the oracle’s vision became real.

But the mermaid survived, and lived a hundred of years in loneliness, never capable of loving again. She still wears her beautiful pearls, but she knows now, that not even pearls could ever buy her a friend.
