TURQUOISE AND AURA...
'Turquoise, the mermaid', a beautiful Princess of the Ocean of Atlanta, lived a life
enchanted with happiness, love and peace. Her Father,the King, was an ambitious monarch,
always away from home undertaking wars with neighbouring Kingdoms often emerging
victorious but always being nagged with worry of the safety of his daughter. To overcome this inhibition he approached a wise old merman who endowed him with a tiny magical instrument

always away from home undertaking wars with neighbouring Kingdoms often emerging
victorious but always being nagged with worry of the safety of his daughter. To overcome this inhibition he approached a wise old merman who endowed him with a tiny magical instrument
known as 'The Aura'.
The Aura, was pale blue in colour,shell shaped and ornament like and so it passed as a
brooch which Turquoise was to wear at all times.One could even hear the faint music of water
falling, when held close enough and such a sound was unique to hear in the depths of the
ocean.

For a long time Aura was merely an accessory, it's uniqueness half forgotten, when one fine
day it proved itself when the princess, while out on in the seafields to pluck lilies, was attacked
by an enormous Octopus. She was frightened out of her wits and felt utterly helpless. Just
when she felt it was her last second, she had a fleeting memory of her Dad's advice.

The King had asked her to wear Aura at all times and use it when in trouble. He told her to kiss
it's ceramic back which would work the magic in it, emanating powerful sparks from the
pointed ends of it's wing like features which would immediately sedate the opponent heavily
and the feather like endings would help it to fly around and attack from various angles, all the

Turquoise followed her father's advice and watching Aura in action tantalised her so much
so that she forgot her fears. The tiny instrument had managed to put a giant, twenty times it's
size, out of action in just a few minutes.

While the guards accompanying her were relieved that she was safe, they were more in awe
of this tiny fascinating "weapon" but Turquoise, in all her wisdom, still chose to believe that it
was a tiny, pale blue coloured, shell shaped brooch.
