But Amara had more refined tastes.

She preferred to pick her teeth with the bones of kings.

Literal chills!

Beautiful piece, Aspen! I love mermaids and that you made these mermaids into almost mer-sirens.

Okay, Aspen, you just blew my mind !! Did you create this story from scratch? Crazy good imagery, and I love the mermaids' names, nice extra touch. You did several 'novel' things. I've never heard that mermaids were carnivors. I had no idea they could control the ocean or sink ships. Understandably, they detest royalty. You have opened a big door. Excellent writing !!!!!! Michael
