Mermay 2023 - 27 - Isra and Mairead
Isra was a wealthy spice merchant on the rise, a powerful force in the Caliphate of Ubar, far removed from the Northern waters of the Mor Bras and the Beacon City, on the edge of the endless desert of the Shifting Sands. Seeking to display his great wealth and make a name for himself, he purchased a remote oasis to construct a great pleasure palace of marble, silver and lapis lazuli. He would spare no expense creating a lavish paradise in the desert and filling it with wonders. But then, traveling the slave markets of Pharos, he saw what would be the jewel of his palace. A woman with a tail like stained-glass. From that first glance, Isra knew he must own her, the centerpiece of his harem.
He spent his fortune rebuilding the palace with canals, tanks and pools, fit for his mermaid.
Mairead was a raider from the North, sailing the snow-swept fjords of the Lost Peninusla. After she became a Daughter of Ahes, she continued to raid the coastline and passing ships to ensure her new family's survival until she was captured by slavers and brought far from home to a land of heat and sand. Isra fell in love with her, spending more and more time at the water's edge, listening to her adventures and stories. But Mairead was not content or willing to be a toy for the whims of the merchant, no matter how sincere his love was becoming. She used her magic to transform Isra into a Marie-Morgane herself, passing her off as a new addition to the harem while the "master" was away, leaving her in charge of the estate. Mairead took over, changing others into mermaids or using Isra's connections to form a powerful network in the Beacon City's war against slavery of its daughters, and any others who found their way to her door.
Initially shocked by her changes, Isra's love for Mairead only grew and she came to love her own new form as well. Although all within the pools of the Oasis are equal, Isra takes great pleasure in serving her "mistress" with great loyalty and devotion, playing at the role of a devoted servant.
