# Hello Dear Reader!

![]()

I'm currently working on a children's book🌟 for actual publishing. I'm on page 8 out of 19. Believe me when I say this- it got a lot of text \>.\<😵😲 but it's a story, no less. And it makes my head spin every time I look at it. Some of you have given me phenomenon ideas for where I could potentially list it.

![]()

I read the 12 week year and got over-zealous🤩; I decided I would finally write the story that's been floating in my head(no matter how badly written). I told it to my bestie who lives literally half the world away and she said "Yes" to help editing it and fine tuning it. So, that's the stage that we are in(maybe stage 2?). She still hasn't read the 12 week year though, my insides feel a bit disappointed😞 but Its better to always encourage. Because anyone and everyone can criticize. I don't find it helpful in most case(if it comes from your parents, I often take it with a grain of salt). If you want to truly help someone---Encourage them with all your heart! (try to refrain from using the word *should-though I do it often*) I've received so much wonderful feedback, many of you truly have made my heart soar higher! Especially to my zappers!

Many of you have said you liked the Artwork, so until I can write the next legend I thought I could share the images that didn't make it in the story. Please enjoy! Follow on your Nostr Client for the best viewing experience!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your time and support!

Cheers!

A long time ago, a girl resided on a tropical island. The girl's name is Sirena. She resided with her mother in close proximity to the Hagåtña River. Sirena's mother was a bit strict and tried to teach her to follow her in footsteps to be a lady, but Sirena only dreamed of swimming all day.\

![]()\

Sirena's only outlet was when her Godmother would come visit. She always brought surprises, such as new trinkets, stories, and secretly gave her coconut candy.

![]()

Sirena's mother was preparing for a special event and needed her to acquire special ingredients from the nearby village. She had a significant amount of preparations to complete, therefore she requested that Sirena procure the necessary ingredients and return promptly. Sirena made a promised to her mother that she would hurry back.\

![]()

She was on the village path. She kept her eyes on the trail, trying her best to be a good daughter and hurry back. But she took one glance briefly at the river.

![]()\

She is mesmerized by the water and jumps in before she realizes it. She swims down the river to the ocean, completely forgetting her mother's errand and promise. Sirena does not returned home even after the sun has set and was still swimming. Her mother, frustrated and angry, unleashes a powerful curse. The godmother begged her daughter to calm down. She shouted, "She's swimming again! Look at how late it is! "If you have such a profound love for the ocean, then become a fish," she exclaims to the ocean. Knowing the extent of her daughter's curse. She tries to counteract her daughter's curse. She pleads to the ocean, "Please, let me keep my Goddaughter's heart, please let that much remain."\

![]()\

In the eerie glow of the moonlight, upon realizing her mother's task, she swims back to where the ocean meets the river. But she experiences a strange sensation in her lower half. The water swirls around her. She looks down to see that she has now fins instead of feet. With the new transformation, she regrets not finishing her mother's errand.

Sirena was happy because now she can be in the water all day long. However, Sirena also wished she did what her mother asked and found another way to punish her. A part of her will forever be saddened by the loss of her Mother and Godmother.

It said that sailors have spotted mermaids on their voyage across the sea. Just that their too crafty & swift to be caught.

# Historical Notes/context

![image]() The story originates from the indigenous island of Guam and has been shared for generations. There are multiple versions of the story. The term Sirena is not present in the Chamorro language; however, in Spanish, it refers to the mythological creature known as the mermaid. The capital of the Island is Hagåtña. The Hagåtña river flows beneath the Spanish Bridge, where it is possible to observe her monument. Many believe Sirena resided here. There is speculation that this story was crafted to frighten children into listening to their parents and not playing in the river's water, as it was a vital water source. This was more prevalent when the Spanish established Guam as a port for whaling, pirates, and trade during the Spanish Galleon trade era(16th century). It should be noted that the women's role in the Chamorro version reflects a matrilineal society, which can be seen with Grandma/Godmother. ![image]()

👉I like to point out in this, Thomas Edison patented the light bulb in 1879. So visually the lights outside and inside the huts as flames. As Ai(text to image) does not account for these type of items.

👉This also goes back to be careful what you wish for because you may actual get your wish.

👉Chamorro people are Pacific Islanders, similar to Hawaiians, and have a brown/tan skin complexion.\

👉My mermaid looks strikingly similar to the Disney's recent version of Ariel. I Thought that was interesting because I put just "mermaid" into the text prompt. Its worth pointing out ai limitations as it's not advanced as I originally thought, likely due to its limited data. In this case only disney as a reference for mermaid.

Chapter 4

-------

Whitey Plan involved all of the forest's animals, and everyone had a job to do, including the trees, who decided to help. Though they had some reservations, they moved forward, putting their faith in Whitey and Leo's foresight.

Approaching their camp in the stillness of the night. They slept in their tent, blissfully asleep. Leo began to flicker the crystal lights as Peter (fox) and Casey (goldfish) circled their camp, leaving trail of fire in their wake. The Shroomucks stuck close to Maddy (the squirrel) and listened to the mushrooms' queue. It was Go Time!

![image]()

To attract their attention, the deeyotes started barking. The remaining animals followed suit, encircling their camp.

![image]()

The sight of smoke and fire rising from their camp startled the poachers as they awoke.

As the shroomuck conversed with Maddy, the trees began to sway voluntarily. Maddy then zapped a tree with a thudding sound.

![image]()

And then another...

![image]()

With startled eyes and bewilderment, the poachers began to look around for any possible escape.

> I'm out, this ant worth it! This place is crazy! --One poacher started to run

>>No, don't run its just a trick! --The ring leader announced

He pulls his revolver from its holster.

But then there was a boom, lightning flashes, and trees that were three feet away started to sparkle. The poachers abandoned their leader and bolted.

The leader pursued them in an attempt to persuade them to return, but he fell as a result of the flickering crystals, smoke, and lighting. Whitey jumped on him, hissing at him. However, he did not see Whitey, but rather an apparition in the shape of a unicorn.

![image]()

He was stunned and began to feel ashamed of what he and his gang had done.

> Never return to these woods, Whitey meowed at the top of her lungs.

>>Don't worry, I won't! --lead poacher

He got up and ran and did not look back.

The forest creatures were overjoyed with their triumph. Whitey was relieved that no woodland animals had been wounded. She was, however, saddened by the elderly trees that had sacrificed themselves. Her ability to assist plants was limited.

However, Peter made rounds to each dying tree, watching its remains fade away.

![image]()

Maddy, deeyotes, and shroomucks shrieked loudly to summon the slugs in packs. They all came.

![image]()

Each beautiful in it's own way

![image]()

The slugs left sticky trails everywhere they went, but these pathways promoted new growth. They would take small amounts of the seeds and gradually plant them wherever they went.
