If not one of, the most personal story I will ever write. A novice witch in training, a fiery dragon, and a lovesick merman to keep the other two from killing each other, escape their former realm, to our world. Miami, specifically. Along with them are two werewolves, and a Cthulhu. When an unlikely foe threatens not only their friendship, but their friend's life, can they put all of their differences aside to save him? Taking inspiration from actual events in my life, that occurred only last year, and weaving them together with a mythical backing. Please note while reading this, that all of the non-mythical events that take place, actually happened to either me or a friend of mine, respectfully. More or less.The characters Finn Shaina and Kai Piper are based on my two best friends, respectfully.

What is love? What starts it? What makes that certain person enter your mind, and stick there like gum on the bottom of your shoe?Based on somewhat true events, and ideas, I hope this story can provide at least a touch of light on the subject.When a young merman rescues a human prince from drowning, he is captured by a vengeful dragon. Originally meant as a ploy to bait the prince, but perhaps grows into something more. What starts out as a deep hatred and fear, can blossom into a deep and powerful love. And what originally was meant to be damnation, can become protection.Author's note: Although based upon true events, obviously I wasn't ever a merman and wasn't captured by my best friend. However, the true feelings and emotions are plentiful. Please go into this story with an open mind, and that not all love works out in the end. No matter how true it may be.…
