***

I glided through the pitch-black water with ease. Bright golden light emanated from my skin, pushing away the darkness and lighting the path. Though I probably could have found my way without any light. It knew the path by heart.

The first time I dreamt of this place, I thought it was another nightmare. Of all the places I wanted to be, the ocean was not one of them. But time had a way of calming my nerves, and these dreams helped me forget my harsh reality.

I slid down the middle of a deep channel of black rock, until I came to the stone walls of the prison. Pushing forward, I flowed through the thick stone walls as if I were a ghost, until I entered a small cell. The light from my body filled the room, illuminating it from wall to wall.

“Hello, Kai. Did you miss me?” I asked with a wink.

The gorgeous merman, with long silver hair and a bright green tail, swam to me from the corner of the room.

“You have no idea, my love,” he said, reaching for my extended hand, only to have it pass through me.

“Where should we go today? Tahiti? Iceland? Venice?”

Prince Kaiholo smiled, causing little wrinkles to form around the eyes of his tan, ageless face. “I’m content to go wherever you are. We’ve seen most of the world by now. Anywhere is fine with me, as long as we are together.”

“You and your sweet talk, Prince Kai. It’s likely to earn you a kiss.”

I hovered close to him, the golden light from my skin growing brighter as I bent my head up to kiss him. But when our lips met, they did not touch. They never touched, and my dream prince passed right through me.

Kaiholo groaned, sounding just as unsatisfied as I felt. “One day, I will kiss you,” he said, his face echoing the longing I felt. But then he raised an eyebrow and his lips turned upward into a playful smile. “And what a kiss it will be!”

I rolled my eyes and couldn’t help but laugh. “It better be. I’ve been dreaming you up for forty years and not once have we ever touched. I must be the worst dreamer ever.”

Kaiholo’s eyes went wide and he shook his head. “No, no, no. You must never think that. Your dreams are what sustain me. Without you, I would be alone in this dark prison. Without you, I would be lost. Without you, I would be nothing.”

His poetic lines caused a small chuckle to exit my lips.

“What?” he asked. “Too much?”

“Just a bit. Though this is my dream, and I think it’s kind of cute. Poetry is my one true weakness.”

“I thought it was chocolate,” Kaiholo replied, tapping the side of his head. “Or was that pink daffodils? Or swimming with the delphines? I apologize. I get your one weakness mixed up so easily.”

“Oh, shush, you overgrown fish. This is my dream, remember? Now seriously, where do you want to go?”

Kaiholo’s teasing grin slowly faded away, and I knew what he was going to ask.
