"Nice shirt Maya!" Someone yelled as they ran past Maya.

"Thanks!" She replied, she had her favorite shirt on. It simply read, Food is my Best Friend. "It's the single best shirt I own." She grinned as she looked over at Nile.

Nile laughed "Personally, I like my hoodie." He smiled.

"It's the middle of summer."

"To quote you... Does it look like I care?"

"Ah yes, the sentence that is obviously my catchphrase."

The two laughed as they continued to walk. "Maya, the head councilor wants to talk to you." Darya called as she rushed over to Nile and Maya "Something about your tail..."

"Really? Maybe he's finally made time to teach me how to summon it!" She grinned as she rushed off. She ran to the counselor's cabin, and knocked on the big red door "Hello? Head Counselor?"

"Coming, coming, give me a moment..." A voice rang out from inside.  The door opened "Maya, I see you wasted no time getting here. Come in, sit down, have some tea."

"Darya said something about my tail?" She questioned as she walked into the cabin and sat.

"Yes, my busy schedule has suddenly opened up to allow me to have time to teach you how to summon your tail..."

"That's great-"

"Next month."

"What?! But sir, I'm the only one at camp that can't summon my tail!"

"Well I'm sorry Maya, but with the catastrophe that has happened in Atlantis, I fear I won't have any time until next month." The head counselor replied as he handed a mug of tea to Maya.

"What happened in Atlantis?"

"The crown was stolen." He answered as he sat.

"Stolen? But isn't that what's keeping the siren and mermaid sides from going to war?"

"Exactly, that's why it's a catastrophe."

"Are you going to send someone to help find it?"

"No, everyone here is a child or a teenager, they'd only get themselves killed." He sipped his tea "Besides, the royal guard can take care of it. They're highly trained to defend the castles and stop any criminals."

"But what if-"

"They'll find it. Now, I suggest you head to the beach, Everyone is waiting to start the water dodgeball game."

"Right, I'll get going." Maya replied as she rushed out the door.

The head counselor turned to a large mirror that was on the wall "She's gone, did you plant the crown yet?" He asked
"Calm down Icarus, Atlas will get his crown." A girl's voice came from the mirror "I'll place it in the bag once she starts packing, all you have to do is announce the trip to Atlantis."

"Fine, but I don't see why you know my name and I don't yours, shouldn't I know the name of my accomplice?"

"You'll learn my name soon enough my friend."

"And the crown. Is it hidden?"

"Well of course it is, what do you think I am, an IDIOT!?"

"Of course not! I just wish to know who you plan on using as a deliverer."

"Very well. Maya Lynn, she wanders off quite a bit doesn't she? She'll be the one with the crown in her bag. Don't let her get searched. Keep her in line."

"Right."

"She'll meet Lord Atlas soon."

"Hail Atlas."

"Hail Atlas."
