I still remember when I heard it come out my sister's mouth.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

" Until you reach adulthood, you must stay under water and inside the palace, safe and away from humans.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

If contact between a human and a mermaid were made, chaos would fall on his soul and heart forever. "

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Even though I was only seven, I didn't understand the meaning of your warning at the time.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Only curiosity invaded me entirely.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

It happened one night when, the moment I looked under the water, strange lights appeared.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Dominated by the interest of knowledge, I went swimming to the surface.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

When I arrived for the first time, I was amazed to see the great starry sky, where I accompanied the light show.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

The fascination was so great that I started to sing.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Suddenly, I saw a large metal boat approaching. I was about to return to the bottom of the sea, until someone caught my eye .

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

" That song... What a beautiful voice. "

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

At that moment, even though there were only a few words, it was enough for a smile to appear on my face.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I blushed when I felt my heart overflowing with happiness.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

However... The time I expected to be eternal, did not last long.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Through the lights that lit up the night, that boy managed to see me.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

" There is?! Could it be that it was you who was singing? Please, sing again. Speaking of which, why is a girl like you doing alone at sea? Did something happen? Need help? "

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

So many questions he asked me, but my lips remained closed.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I was so afraid and agonized that I ended up doing an unthinkable act.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I accidentally showed him my fish tail.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

" A mermaid?! "

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I felt a sharp pain in my chest and was amazed to see that he found out who I really was.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Suddenly, an unexpected event happens.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

A strong storm comes along with the big waves.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

As if the ocean was raging.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I watched a colossal wave hit the metal boat.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

A wreck happened.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I swam through all the wreckage, but I couldn't find that boy.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I felt despair rise in my heart , until a light of hope came to guide my waters.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Seeing him sink, I hurriedly swam to save him.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I managed to take one of his arms and, using all my strenght, took him away from the storm.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Arriving at the place, where humans call it the beach, I saw the sun rise over the horizon.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

But for my suffering, the boy I had just saved couldn't breathe.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

Without seeing any other way out, I gave my first kiss in exchange for his breath.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

My relief came when he opened his eyes... And smiled at me.

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

I had no doubts from there...

⋆

⋆

⋆

⋆

This is the story of how I met... My First Love.
