Capítulo 16: A Journey Begins
Li Xue and Lanfen spent the following days making preparations for their perilous journey. They gathered supplies, studied maps, and sought the guidance of experienced mermaid travelers. Finally, when they felt ready to depart, they approached Emperor Shen to share their intentions.
"Father," Li Xue began, her voice steady and resolute, "Lanfen and I have discovered a potential way to prevent the prophecy from coming true. We intend to embark on a journey to find powerful artifacts that might help us change our destiny and save the kingdom."
Emperor Shen regarded his daughter with a mixture of concern and pride. He knew the journey would be fraught with danger, but he also recognized the determination burning in Li Xue's eyes. After a moment's hesitation, he nodded his agreement.
"I trust your judgment, Li Xue, and I believe in your ability to protect our people. You have my blessing and support. But remember, you must always be cautious and vigilant."
Li Xue bowed her head, grateful for her father's support. "Thank you, Father. We'll do everything we can to prevent the prophecy from coming true."
With Emperor Shen's blessing, Li Xue and Lanfen set off on their journey, accompanied by a small group of skilled warriors chosen to aid them in their quest. Their first destination was a remote underwater temple, said to house one of the powerful artifacts they sought.
As the group journeyed through the vast expanse of the ocean, Li Xue found herself awed by the beauty of the mermaid world. She marveled at the vibrant coral reefs teeming with life and the mysterious depths of the ocean floor.
One day, while stopping to rest in a secluded cavern, Li Xue and her companions encountered a pair of unexpected travelers: Prince Min-Ho, a dashing merman prince from a neighboring Korean kingdom, and Princess Aanya, a wise and compassionate mermaid princess from a distant Indian realm.
"We've heard of your quest to defy the prophecy, Princess Li Xue," said Prince Min-Ho, his eyes shining with determination. "We, too, have a vested interest in the fate of the mermaid world, and we wish to join you on your journey."
Princess Aanya nodded in agreement, her golden-red scales shimmering in the dim light. "Together, we can pool our knowledge and resources, and stand a better chance of finding the artifacts and changing our shared destiny."
Li Xue, moved by their sincerity and commitment, agreed to join forces with the other royals. With newfound allies by her side, she felt even more determined to prevent the prophecy from coming true.
Now united in their quest, Li Xue, Lanfen, Prince Min-Ho, Princess Aanya, and their loyal companions continued onward, venturing deeper into the uncharted waters of the mermaid world. Each new discovery brought them one step closer to finding the powerful artifacts they sought, and with each passing day, the hope of defying the prophecy and saving their kingdoms grew stronger.
