It was an ordinary Saturday. I was at the beach for the very first time. What? Is it weird for someone not to see the beach until their 15? Well, I guess it is. But anyway, I was just about to run into the shallow waves of the ocean. A voice from nowhere suddenly called, "Don't touch that water." I froze. I turned to where the voice was coming from. "Come here," the voice said. I came to a bush and peered behind it. It was a turtle! "Wait, a talking turtle?" I asked. "Got a problem with it?" The turtle asked. I shook my head. "Good." He replied. "My name is Ampon. I came here for a reason. Now. Listen carefully. Whatever you do, don't touch that salt water." I gave him a questioning look. "Why?" I asked. "Because!" He answered. Then he looked around. "Come with me." He commanded. Ampon led me to a cave. "Ok, listen close, Geneva-" "Wait, you know my name?" I interrupted. "DUH!" Ampon replied. "Anyway, the reason you can touch salt water is because-" "Please don't tell me I'm a mermaid," I interrupted. Ampon paused. "You're a mermaid." He concluded. I looked at him, shocked and befuddled. He nodded slowly. "So what does this mean for me?" I asked. "Well... You were chosen by Poseidon to help us with a special mission." "Why me?" I asked. "You have a special connection with the water. You're the only one who can help." He answered.
