7 - Looking Forward . . . and Backward and 8 - Making Progress - D. E. Weingand - Bog

My name is Trident and I am the former Prince, then King, of Marinea, an undersea kingdom created when Great Quakes caused much of Alteria to sink beneath the sea, leaving an island mainland behind. When I was Prince, I lived incognito on the Alteria mainland where I met my soon-to-be wife, Terra, when walking on the beach. It was one of the happiest times of my life. We became parents of two lovely daughters: Tamara, who was born with a crystal on her stomach and is now Queen and the present ruler of Marinea; and Trina, who has come of age and is excitedly exploring her newly-acquired powers.

My name is Terra and I am the wife of Trident, the former King and now, after relinquishing the throne, a Prince of the undersea kingdom of Marinea. We have two daughters: Tamara, now the Queen of Marinea and Trina, who has recently turned seventeen. Both girls have been blessed with magic crystals. Tamara was born with one on her stomach, with more to follow as needs arose. Trina, upon reaching puberty, was gifted with crystal nails on her hands and feet. The girls keep discovering more talents and skills as time passes.
