A.N: A weird story written by me and my boyfriend! I do find this story funny, but I like it as well.
***
As time ticked on, Nami was slowly losing her little sister to a rare form of a deadly disease. She frequently checked on her sister, albeit received no response. Her sister would drink the water she gave her, but she would refuse to eat. This haunted Nami with worry, and she just longed for the day she would hear her sister talking again. It wasn't like her sister was on a journey to a distant island, rather laying in bed waiting for a day she could breathe properly once more.
Maybe one day, but not today.
"Willow hasn't moved in days! She isn't dying, is she?" Nami asked her mother with a hand held to her heart. At the sight of her dear sister, Nami felt her heart skip a beat. "I hope she isn't...dead!"
"No, she is just sick and needs medicine to cure her," her mother explained. "However, there is a problem...the only cure for this medicine is hidden in the Crystal Falls surrounded by verdant mountains. I...cannot afford such medicine for Willow and I fear she might truly die."
"The Crystal Falls, you say?" Nami noted, intrigued by her mother's words. "What is this medicine, is it a fish or something like kelp?"
"The redskin fish that possesses a crown of its own making; it's medicinally nutritious and able to rid any disease known to man."
Her mother's words enlightened Nami's idea, "I shall head out to search for such a fish to save my sister. All I want is Willow to be healthy again," Nami cried with tears rolling down her cheeks. "I miss the times we had when we were young, Willow and I would go out exploring...we would play in the sand at the beach."
"But you must be careful on such a trek; I wouldn't want you to fall sick as well. The way to the Crystal Falls is treacherous, and there is a storm already lingering at the horizon," her mother warned with furrowed brows. "Why would you think about doing such a thing?"
"I want to go and find this fish for Willow. It's just a damn fish I have to catch, mother. When Willow and I were young, we would even catch fish together. Do you remember the old days where Willow and I had so much fun? You can't just let Willow wilt away."
"...Fine, my dear, but don't make me lose two daughters for the thought of losing one is painful enough for me to bare."

A young maiden, Nami made the effort to tie up her blonde hair but she was still clad in a dress. A dress never stopped her from journeying, as it was something Nami enjoyed.
This strong storm lead Nami to a dark cave in the mountain, as she wanted a place to wait until the storm settles. When the sky lit up with a lightning bolt, however, Nami discovered a green glint in the distance. This glint looked pretty.
"Cold...it's like a freezer in this dark place," Nami mumbled to herself. "But I'm getting closer to this fish and that's all that matters."
Drawing closer to this green glint, Nami realised it was actually a necklace that was hanging from the sharp stone.
"Someone must have lost this recently," Nami mentioned.
This necklace had no rust to it; it was still shiny like it had been cherished.
Reaching out with one hand, Nami attempted to grab this green necklace but the cliff suddenly collapsed and she fell under the debris. Under the cliff was a cold body of water and Nami was swept under its path.
As Nami studied her surroundings, she caught the green glint of the necklace above the water's surface, nevertheless a shadow followed with her gaze.
Coughing, Nami inhaled a slew of cold salty water, she didn't know she was about to succumb to the embrace of such cold water. This cold water was operating her body, her teeth were already chattering to the feel. Worse, Nami was clad in only a dress, and so she felt cold for sure.
Unexpectedly, Nami felt a force take her, like her body was being pulled through the icy water, and she was dragged to the water's crown.
Coming to her senses, still unable to move, Nami grasped an enchanting voice almost like being saved by an angel but instead she caught sight of a weird creature. This creature was an alluring woman, that's all she could gather at this point; but there was something peculiar about this woman. She possessed no legs, but a tail instead. She had long brunette hair, shoulders and breasts...she definitely did look like a woman.
Confused, Nami looked this woman up and down, seeing the same image in front of her. Nami had to blink and look twice at this creature, but seeing double never helped with her vision either.
"H-huh? Is this even real? How could this be?" Nami questioned, gulping.
This weird creature looked so beautiful.
But the voices in her head told her to run, and so Nami splashed the water and struggled to break free from this woman's touch.
Speechless as she fled from the mysterious creature, Nami attempted to swim away and find a way out of this cave. Everywhere around her was pitch black, no glimmer of light in sight, and she even felt the air inside her lungs dissipate with every move she made. Glancing around her, to the darkness and this weird fish-like woman, but Nami could feel her lungs lose oxygen and she soon fell unconscious.
This mysterious woman enjoyed the struggles of Nami's escape, and she enjoyed it to the point of taking her away to safety.

Laying on a rocky surface, Nami felt the air gently brush her face, and soon she coughed up a heap of salty water. Ew! Waking up to the fresh air in her lungs, rejuvenated Nami took in her surroundings and began to thank her saviour. Nevertheless, Nami was shocked at what this mermaid had asked of her.
"I save you here today but for a wish in return, I would like you to become a vessel for my fertilised egg and bearing my child."
Pleading Nami asked this strange creature, "I may accept your method of payment if you help me find a redskin fish that wears a crown of its own making."
The merfolk spoke anew, "You have yourself a deal, I shall find your redskin fish if you carry my child. My name is Kailani."
"You mean you want to use my body as a human incubator?" Nami questioned with a gulp in her throat and a tickle down her spine. "...Why?"
