CHAPTER THREE: A WATERY MESS
----------------------------------------
Snippet Two: White Lies Are Sometimes Okay
Alexia stares at him and says, "Well, it all started out when Mera got kidnapped. Thankfully Grandma Molly's circle had its trio complete. The circle goes the following: Grandpa Troy Waller is the Alpha, Grandma Joni Reily is the Beta, and Grandma Molly Yates is the Submissive. Then one day after school a portal opened and a random Merrow baby popped out with nothing else but a locket." She fiddles with the locket on her chest and continues, "Specifically this locket. Anyway, Grandma Molly brought the babe to her new nest, and then Grandma Molly tried to contact the Water courts because she is half Merrow. She kept getting rejected though, everything was stamped that nothing was wrong and to stop foisting non-Merrow at them. After four months, Grandpa Troy decided that enough time was wasted trying to contact the Water courts and Mera was kept." She shifts and waits to see if Alcandor has anything to say.
"I will make a note of them trying to contact the Water courts. I was too young to have anything to do with the Courts. Have your grandparents said who exactly they contacted?" Alcandor grabs a piece of paper and starts writing down a message.
Alexia shifts and beings to speak. "No uncle, I was never told much about that time. I think it is a sore subject with them. At any rate, after they decided to adopt Mera, they found a Pareya by the name of Derek Perevell, my Oret. Eventually, everything settled down, they raised Mera and once she hit 15, she found her own circle. My papa & bearer is Brian Maurois, a Water & Fire Submissive." She adjusts and hugs her legs. She takes a breath in and continues. "My daddy & sire was Matt Alvi a Storm Beta and of course, Mera was Alanni Perevell, a Water & Earth Alpha. Originally, my Oretta was supposed to be Papa's sister Renata Maurois, but she died when his family circle's house burned down before it could be contracted. After she died, Mera decided to wait until I was older to get another. When Papa hit 16, he had me, I was born on January first. I am a Nameless Dragel and have no pull toward any particular element. I -."

At this point, Alcandor interrupts her. "No pull towards Water? How can the daughter of a Merrow have no pull? Also, how did your mother get a tendency towards Earth?" He mutters to himself about how can a daughter of a Merrow having no pull towards Water.
Alexia widens her eyes and blinks twice. "Nope. And Grandpa Derek thinks it was whatever the kidnapper did before Mera got portaled to Earth." She lays back down on the bed and clears her throat. "After I was born, I was mostly watched by Oret. He was the one that spent the most time with me as a babysitter until Grandpa Troy made him my Oret. But it wasn't made official until after -"
Alcandor gets up and starts pacing. "What happened to make it official?"
She sighs. "And that was the year that I was three..."
