The Eye Of The Sea By Irene Rodriguez

Long time ago many mermaid families lived peacefully together in the ocean. The sea was full of beauty and riches. But then ambition took over them. The two families, represented by the Golden Shell and the Pearl, started to hate each other, for both wanted to rule over the ocean.

Time passed and future generations grew hating each other, until one day a new love was born between two of their descendants. The will of their families to separate them, caused the ocean to split up in half. A great abyss was created. It was told that the only way to bring the ocean back together was with the Eye of the Sea, a trophy which is at the top of a crystal podium. Only the person with love and courage in their heart will be able to remove it.

Aurora was born from this forbidden love, yet she grew unaware of her past. She had the power of becoming human in the earth and a mermaid in the sea. Her family was unaware of this. No one in the ocean had this power because of the damage they had caused. They were punished by never being able to walk in the earth again.

Aurora liked the thrill of adventure, it was then that she decided to set foot in the earth. There she found a different world with animals unlike the one she has known. It was in this strange world that she found her true love. His name was John - he was a business man. You see, Aurora didn’t know the earthly ways, and she almost got run over by horse while walking on the street. John saved her life.

However, Aurora could not stay for long in the earth, since the ocean was not united and it was impossible to stay out of it for very long. So their relationship could not be possible. She went back to her house, and heard her parents talking about the past and the reason the ocean split in half.
Aurora decided to find the Eye of the Sea since it was the only way for the ocean to be one again and to be with John, her true love.

Aurora began her journey towards the Eye of the Sea.
