The Mediterranean Mermaids are a pod of fierce and fiery mermaids who thrive in the warmth of their namesake, the Mediterranean Sea. Just like the Caribbean Mermaids, they are exceptionally beautiful which is also reflected in the burning shades of yellows and oranges of their tails. Once upon a time though, they were mostly known for helping local fishermen with their catches by driving the fish to the surface with their power of Hydro-Thermokinesis, and in return the fishermen vowed to never hunt them down. Thus creating a peaceful co-existence between two worlds. However as the centuries passed, the Mediterranean slowly became a tourist attraction for the surface world, making it difficult for the mermaids to stay hidden and for the fisherman to successfully fish in peace. As technology also advanced, so did the exposure to this part of the magical world with footage of the Mediterranean Mermaids becoming more prevalent. Some mermaids became started to lose hope that their life and home beneath the surface would ever return to what is was before it became a tourist hotspot. So they took decision to give up their magic and who they were born to be in favour of a life hidden in the surface world as mortals. Their decision to give up their lives as mermaid as well as their magic sent a ripple through the pod, creating a permanent and deep rift between the mermaids. Those that opposed the idea of living on land decided to keep fighting for their underwater world believing that they could win and drive out the surface world forever. However it was all in vain as more of the surface world became attracted to warmth and sun of the Mediterranean and the ocean itself. What happened to the rest of the pod is a mystery but it is believed that if you spot a ring of bubbles in the ocean and the surface temperature suddenly become extremely hot, it’s the Mediterranean Mermaids reminding you, you are not welcome in their ocean.
