The air crackled around Clara. Her fingers danced as she traced the outline of the drawing. It was Celeste, the mermaid princess, her childhood confidante. A jolt of energy shot through her.

She remembered the endless hours spent in the bathtub, inventing elaborate underwater kingdoms with Celeste. The joy was overwhelming. Seeing her niece, Olivia, draw Celeste filled her with a sense of wonder.

"She guards the treasure," Olivia said, her eyes bright. Clara felt a surge of unbridled glee. She laughed, a happy, unrestrained sound. This was wonderful!
