Everyone quickly swam to Viiclorch’s evil black iron tower. Because of all the dark magic we were forced to use, the water had a black cloud in it. Usually, the water is sparkling like diamonds because of all the good magic we use. But now, it looked like the exact opposite!

Viiclorch’s tower was beginning to spiral.

It looked like one of those giant evil towers in one of those fairy tales about humans. I’ve always thought they could never exist in real life. Well, at least the humans. Some merpeople say that humans are real and claim that they saw them once.

But really, I don’t know what to believe………

Ever since Viiclorch took over our kingdom, everything has been confusing.

“Get to WORK!” Viiclorch sneered.

I quickly got back to work. Doing dark magic was TERRIBLE. All of the mermaids and mermen looked really tired from the exhaustion of performing dark magic. The Black Iron Tower was spiraling and looking more and more evil by the second. I was getting sooo tired.

“Lilly!” Allie whispered, ” Do you know when our next break is?”

“Not for a while,” I said, “Probably not until the next 2 hours. By then it will be dinner.”

“Okay,” said Allie, “I can’t wait until – ”

“SILENCE!!!” Viiclorch growled.

Well, I guess that was the end of our talk!
