Chapter 10: Chapter 10
The Jewel could be seen moving around a lake in her human form. One of the
numerous things the Jewel is able to do was to hide her identity even when in water unlike the other mermaids who by the touch of water would turn mermaids. Also the prince
and Jewel have something in common and that is the fact that the prince can go near water, the Jewel also close to fire and nothing would happen to them. Right now,
as the Jewel swimmed around in her human form, raising her head, she saw a young man wearing a mask standing by the lake side and she somehow felt attracted to him even when she haven't seen the face behind
the mask. Meanwhile, the young man was feeling a force pulling him closer to the young lady approaching him. He felt the urge to turn back and move away but was
unable to do so. "You shouldn't be here by this time" he said to her obviously one would notice that this young man was the prince from the fire Kingdom "why is it so? The
Jewel asked "you could get harmed at anytime" the prince said and sat near an oak tree "no,no, no one would be able to do that to me you know" the Jewel said coming to
sit beside him "how are you so sure of that? The prince said with a raised brow "why are you putting on that thing" she said referring
to the mask "we are just strangers and I have no reason to tell you that" the prince said and they fell into a comfortable silence before the Jewel spoke up "so what's the
name? She asked "maybe some other time" the prince said getting up "so what's yours" he asked back "maybe some other time"
she also said his exact words, then stood up and like that they both turned to the opposite side and went back to their separate worlds.
