Chapter 1

*When I was just a little girl, my mom would always tell me I could fly as high as I wished, swim to depts unknown and be anything I wanted. It took me twelve years of my life to actually realize that she wasn't just making a statement to encourage a young daughter. She was stating a fact*.

*My mother was a fairy maiden who fell in love with a handsome human and decided to abandon the magical realm so she could be with him. Her special abilities were that of a shape shifter and she could create amazing clothes with almost anything that could be seen physically. She wasn't a princess or anything special in the magical realm, just a simple dressmaker for the fairies. I guess everyone fairies need a special person to make their clothes*.

*Anyways back to me. After I was born, mother found out I was more fairy than human and that I had not only inherited the fairy glow but also her abilities. This was of course a problem and my parents were stuck between lying to me and hiding my abilities forever or being honest with me and letting me have a chance to choose for myself when I'm mature enough*.

*My parents who believed that it would be safer to be honest with me about who I really was and what strange things I could do, started telling me stories about how they met and about the existence of fairies right from when I was a baby. Hearing all their stories as a kid, I just took it as simple fairy tales told to put me to sleep at bedtime and cheer me up when I was sad or lonely. I should have understood that they were being serious and not just telling tales*.

...I was twelve years old when I first used my magical ability. It was just a week after my my birthday and I was coming home from school on that hot summer noon. As I passed by the stream, I decided to stop by and dip my feet in its cool water hoping to reduce the heat just a bit. As I sat kicking up water, I admired the tiny fishes swimming against the current....

"***Lucky little things enjoying the cool water. I wish I could be a fish for a bit so I could enjoy the cool water too***.", *was what I said as I forced my legs to kick up more water and make a bigger splash.

In mere seconds after the last word rolled out of my tongue, I felt tingly all over my body followed by coolness and complete wetness. My eyes shut open and I saw myself staring at other fish in the stream that also seemed to be staring at me in shock as well. I was confused about how I fell into the water and why the fish all looked like they were the same side as I was as well as why I had spent all that time thinking under water but yet still breathing. I became overcome with shock and fear when I realized that I couldn't feel hands and feet but instead could sense my body moving in the same pattern as the other fish*.

"***OH MY GOD, AM I A FISH***?"
