Mermaid Merlynn


What started as a fan fiction, and is holding my imagination, is my new Mermaid Merlynn.

A dark story it is, about a young who decidedly lives her way in midst of all evil, not exactly the beacon of goodess, but yet, our Maitri (yes, that's the protagonist's initial name) lives a life of animals, Slytherins, secrets and her own imaginations... oh yes, and Sirius Black.

“I’m not worried,” Harry replied, turning to look at me. “You were her bridesmaid, weren’t you?”

I sighed. This was it. The truth revealing time. Bye-bye secrets.

“Yes, I was Lily’s Maid of Honor,” I admitted. “Since your aunt Petunia refused to speak to her, at all.”

“Your name was different back then,” Harry questioned on. “Wasn’t it?”

I nodded. “I was a different person back then, kiddo.”

A new kind of smile came to his face, a quizzical, amused smile. “Weren’t you engaged to Sirius Black?”

“Yeah, that’s right.” I said, not overdoing the cynicism.

Wanna get back to me about reading more of it?

.... Sometimes, you feel the world is too bland; when you're looking out of the window in the middle of Physics equations and wonder why there are no fascinating clouds in the sky when its summer (really gets on my nerves, it does)... when you're lying back down at night, and the moonlight is spilling in from the window, and you REALLY wonder why the ceiling is so - so BLANK - no colours, no mysterious swirling patterns of paints, no etched figures, no stories like a tapestry.... Just so PLAIN for inspiration..... Especially when you get a frustrating WRITER'S BLOCK ...

And, then, it strikes you. Like a lightning bolt hitting your head right on the mark.

Everything is not what YOU are.... Everything is not yours to be, yours to exist, or yours to complain about. It's just around there... waiting to be coloured, waiting to be filled with memories, clouds and happiness...

What are YOU waiting for?
