Inside a small engine boat, floating on a peaceful darkened sea, under a sky with a glowing full-moon and two bright stars, always faithful to their Goddess; there were two fellas, Zayn and Todd, probably still trying to graduate, and Cleo a highschool senior.

Every thursday, there was a party at the gym, where students could get loose and a bit drunk.
Cleo wasn't really an adept of those parties, especially because on Friday mornings she had classes, and attending them with a terrible headache, due to the hangover, wasn't that appealing.
However the exams period was arriving and Cleo needed to clear her mind, She spent five days in a row, closed in her bedroom attached to enormous piles of books and countless papers scattered on the desk and a few ones lost on the floor. It was time to have some fun!

Cleo was one step away, from a completly different world; where sanity is forgotten and madness takes over the chemical reactions that foolish our brains.
Covering her face with a silver light blue mask, typically from Venice, she pushed the gym's door open, feeling the atoms vibrating within the music beats. Cleo felt her heartbeats increasing, while the wave of decibels embraced Cleo's heart, like a hand grabbing it so tightly in order to reduce it to mere ashes.
Inside the gym, there was a disco ball, rotating and reflecting the visible light radiation in every direction, hanging by a single steel string.
A simple school party, turned the gym into a nightclub. Groups of students were dancing, while Cleo tried to reached the place where her friends were.
"Hey guys, it's Cleo!" Alicia pointed out, "What's with the mask?" Alicia asked, before collapsing (too much alcohol in her system).
Cleo caught her and supported Alicia's weight on her shoulder, acting like they were both drunk to atract Zayn and Todd's attention.
Cleo needed a ride to Nim's Island, and the rich fellas were a perfect opportunity. The Nim's Island had a huge amoung of biodiversity, and mysteries yet to be discovered. It was a great place to test some of Cleo's knowledge, and she was looking forward to that challenge.

Once in the island, Cleo started to catalog everything that caught her attention.
A diversity of colourful insects, the most odd flowers and trees, and a few divine outcrops of land.
Cleo was amazed with the beauty, that a single island could raise. She felt just like, Charles Darwin building his theories and studying different finches as a base of his thesis --> 'the living beings are in constant evolution'
Nim's Island was born from fire and water united, creating a piece of Earth, however Nim's volcano was asleep for a very long time.
While she was exploring the slopes from the sleeping volcano, she distinguished a crack on the magmatic wall covered with green and glorious vegetation, big enough to shelter her during the night, before someone noticed her absence and started searching for her.
There were some dense bushes blocking the way in, but Cleo was able to contour them, easily.
Finally inside the cave, raindrops were hanging by the ceiling, lighted by the reflection of the dancing waves from a small natural pool.
Cleo sat on the edge of the pool, with her legs dangling over the water, while the moon slowly traversed the sky.
Shadows began to stretch across the pure blue water and the hollow grotto was still, a darkened mirror reflecting the slowly drifting clouds and the fat moon.
Under her clothes, instead of underwear, Cleo was wearing a swimming suit, and taking the chance she went for a swim; right when the full-moon was aligned with the volcanic cone of the cave.
Tiny bubbles turned the peaceful pool into a natural jacuzzi, those tiny bubbles glue themselves to Cleo's skin transforming it into a scaly skin.
When the transformation was done, Cleo had became a mermaid,
a mermaid controlled by the moon phases.
