Ziraat, who was disguised as a very beautiful teacher in the human world, was actually a storm inside. The serpent prince. Behind his smile were centuries-old desires, bloody intentions, and a love that was not pure, but a desire for possession. He knew that as long as Seraph was close to Elena, he could never reach Elena's heart. Seraph was not just a protector; he was a covenant, a power, a promise stronger than death and birth. That is why Ziraat decided that he would not directly clash, but would play a trick on the chessboard of fate in which everyone themselves would become part of his plan, without knowing that they had become pawns in someone else's game.
That night, when the human world was sleeping, and the moonlight trembled on the surface of the sea, Ziraat called upon his true power. A green light flared in his eyes, and an ancient spell slipped from his lips that was heard only in the serpent world. This was the message, a silent, poisonous message, that ripped through the earth and reached the depths of the sea. There, amidst the blue and green darkness, an ancient creature awoke. A green serpent, whose name was Veranesh. Veranesh was no ordinary serpent. He was born in the depths of the sea, where light never reaches, and his heart was filled with the fire of jealousy, desire, and power.
Veranesh had only one dream: to take over the mermaid world and to make its queen, Nerissa, his queen. He knew that Nerissa's power was linked to the spirit of the sea, and whoever obtained it could become the master of the entire mermaid world. But reaching Nerissa was not easy. There was not only a magical barrier around her, but also the unparalleled love of her subjects. This was the weakness that Ziraat recognised. He knew that if the mermaid world was slowly damaged, if small wounds were inflicted, the queen herself would be forced to ask for help. And when help is sought… the seraph will come.
The mermaid world was a dreamlike place deep in the ocean. Palaces shimmering with blue lights, walls of transparent pearls, pillars made of coral, and lines of light floating in the water, as if the stars themselves had descended into the sea. The air there—or rather, the water—was filled with music. Mermaid girls swam in the waves with long, shining hair and colourful tails, and mermaid boys guarded their world with strong, dignified faces. It was a world where fear was less and love was more, where every creature was willing to give their life in the name of their queen.
Queen Nerissa… she was not just beautiful, she was the soul of the sea. Her hair shone between silver and blue, her eyes held both the calm and storm of the deep seas. There was such softness in her voice that even a wounded heart could be healed, and such power that the sea itself would bow to her command. Her subjects did not consider her just a queen; they considered her a mother, a protector, and a hope. Nerissa knew that the true meaning of power was not possession, but protection.
Since the devastation dared not dare to attack directly, it gradually began to cause damage. Sometimes cracks would appear in the protective rocks around the mermaid world, sometimes the currents of the sea would become uncontrollable, sometimes the reservoirs of light would begin to dim. These losses were small, but they were constant, like a new wound on a body every day. Anxiety began to spread among the subjects. Questions began to arise. Fear gradually began to dissolve into the calm of the sea.
Nerissa was watching everything. She knew it wasn't natural. It was someone's plot. But who the enemy was, where he was, was still shrouded in mist. And then she remembered... Seraph. That old friend, that protector, who had once held the balance between the serpents and the mermaids. Nerissa knew that if anyone could understand this danger, it was Seraph. But she also knew that Seraph was now bound by another covenant. Elena.
This was the moment Ziraat had been waiting for. He was sure that as soon as Nerissa sent a message to Seraph, Seraph would come to help. He would never refuse. And as soon as he entered the world of the sea, Elena would be left alone in the world of humans. A few days... just a few days... this would be the time in which Ziraat would deepen his presence in Elena's heart, descend into her dreams, twist her feelings, without making her feel that she was under the influence of any spell.
In the human world, Elena was unaware. She went to college as usual, laughed, talked with friends, but a strange emptiness was growing in her heart. Sometimes it seemed to her as if someone was calling her from afar, as if a shadow was standing on the edge of her dreams. And every time, Ziraat's smile would capture her with an unknown attraction. She did not know that it was all part of a plan, that not love, but possession was being woven around her.
In the depths of the sea, Nerissa finally made a decision. She prepared a message made of ancient pearls, a message that only the Seraph could hear. And as soon as the message was sent, Ziraat stood on the ground, closed his eyes and smiled. His conspiracy was already in motion. The war had not yet begun. Only the quiet waves were rising. But the storm… was very close.
The mermaid queen Nerissa knew that it was not easy to summon the seraph. He was in the land world at that time, close to Elena, and surrounded by protective walls of ancient magic. If she called directly, the balance between the sea and the land could be broken. That is why Nerissa resorted to the oldest and most dangerous magic in the mermaid world, called the "Mother of Voice". It was a living pearl, which could only reach the heart that was connected with sacrifice and trust. Nerissa mixed her blood and tears into this pearl because the mermaid queen's pain was the only thing that completed this magic.
On a moonlit night, the mother-of-pearl was handed over to a rare silver fish, which could travel both in water and on land. She quietly approached the shore, began to circle around Elena's house, and as soon as she felt the golden serpentine presence of the seraph, the mother-of-pearl's voice woke up. The old mark hidden in the seraph's chest began to burn. His breath suddenly filled with the scent of the sea, and Nerissa's voice echoed in his ears—heavy, tired, but commanding. "Seraph... if you don't come, my world will fall apart." Only he could hear this voice. Elena feels uneasy that night, but he doesn't understand why.
The next day, a strange conflict begins in Seraph's heart. He can't even imagine leaving Elena, but the pain rising from the sea begins to break him from the inside. At that moment, the old wizard appears and reminds him of his old oath—that he is the guardian of balance. The wizard says that if the mermaid world falls, Elena may also fall into its clutches. This is true, but Seraph doesn't know that this truth is part of the Serpent Prince's conspiracy.
Seraph sits silently for several hours. He wants to tell Elena the truth, but he is afraid that she will be frightened. Finally, he decides to go away for a few days, simply saying that an old duty is calling him. Elena smiles and tries to believe him, but her heart feels strangely heavy, as if some impending doom is waiting for her.
When Saraf tells Alina that he has to leave for a few days, a deep sadness settles in her heart. She has lived her entire childhood with that small, golden, talking snake by her side. From the time she was little until now—at sixteen years old—this is the first time he is leaving her. The thought alone makes her chest ache. As these memories and fears circle in her mind, Alina slowly drifts into sleep, her heart heavy with unspoken emotions.
Unseen by her, Saraf is sitting beside her in his human form. His eyes are filled with deep love as he looks at her peaceful face. Gently, he brushes the strands of hair away from her forehead and whispers softly, "My love, just a little patience. When you turn seventeen, everything will come back to you. All the memories will return… and we will become one again. No power in this world will ever be able to separate us."
After saying this, Saraf bends down and places a tender kiss on Alina's forehead. His lips then slowly move toward her soft, red lips. After being separated by rebirth and fate for so long, this is the first time he allows himself this closeness. He places a gentle, innocent kiss on her lips—soft, careful, and full of unspoken promises—before quietly pulling away, knowing that destiny must still take its course.
Before leaving, Seraph orders his golden snakes to keep a strong protective barrier around Elena. He leaves a golden mark on Elena's wrist, which she thinks is a decoration, but in fact it is a seal of protection. Seraph softly says that he will return soon, and Elena looks into his eyes and says yes, although an emptiness has settled in some corner of her heart.
Seraph does not realise that as soon as he steps into the sea world, the shadow of the Serpent Prince will begin to approach Elena. The green snake, which is hovering around Nerissa's palace, is actually the first pawn in this conspiracy. This is the quiet moment where the fight does not begin, but relationships are formed, eyes meet, and fate slowly begins to play its game.
The silence of the night enveloped everything on the seashore in a strange silence. The moonlight was slowly scattering gently on the waves of the water, and each ray was creating a golden halo on the surface of the sea. Saraf stood on the shore in his human form, a light breeze of wind blowing his hair, but there was a strange anxiety in his heart. His heart was beating fast, and his eyes were peering into the boundless darkness of the sea.
He knew that every moment of going into the depths of the sea was dangerous. As a human, the pressure of the water and the risk of drowning in the darkness were equal to death for him. But Saraf felt the strength within him. He took a deep breath, and for a moment, closing his eyes, thought that now was the time when he would have to return to his original strength and golden form.
And then the wind whispered change. As he began to take steps along the seashore, a soft golden light enveloped his body. He stood in human form, but his soul had already touched his true golden serpent form. His eyes turned into golden rays, and a subtle but powerful light began to emanate from his body. A magical halo appeared along the surface of the water, which flickered faintly with each wave.
Saraf took slow steps, but still stood in human form near the shore. Every moment his heartbeat was telling him that he could now go deeper, but a moment of carelessness could put his life in danger. A magical rustle was felt in the air, and small golden reflections were emerging from under the water, as if the sea itself was welcoming his entry.
At that moment, Saraf closed his eyes and dropped his soul into the water. His human form gradually began to disappear, and in the form of a magnificent golden serpent, he began to move towards the depths of the sea. Light and power flickered in every part of his body, as if thousands of stars were bursting into the ocean at once. With every movement, the hidden energies within the water were awakened, and the waves of the ocean began to dance a magical dance around his golden form. Now Saraf was within the world of the sea, in the form of a golden, powerful, and magical serpent. A magical atmosphere was created everywhere, with light and water, where every wave and every creature was waiting for his arrival. Nerisa's world also became thrilled at the sight of him at that moment, and his presence filled the underwater environment with magic and danger.
In the silence of the night, the sound of the ocean waves echoed like a magical song. The light shining on the surface of the water seemed to contain a whole world of stories in itself. Saraf, in his original golden snake form, was moving in the depths of the ocean. Every moment, flames of light were bursting out from under the water, and each flame seemed to be full of a different magic and energy. These were the moments when the distance between the human world and the magical world began to disappear, and a thrill and danger were hidden in every movement.
Saraf's purpose was clear. He had come to the world of Nerisa to thwart the conspiracy of the Green Serpent, who wanted to take over the kingdom of Nerisa and the world of the sea. This task was not easy. The world of the sea was made up of a complex and magical system. The waves of the water themselves moved with the power of magic, and the creatures hidden in every corner could become a symbol of danger or guidance. Saraf knew that Nerisa would have to be protected not only with strength, but also with wisdom and cunning.
Nerisa's world was amazing. The underwater magical palace stood on tall pillars, which shone in golden light. In each room, magical flowers bloomed, whose fragrance and light spread into the water, creating a dreamy atmosphere. The water waves here were deep blue, green and golden, and each colour had a certain magical power. This world was not just a symbol of beauty, but also a symbol of power. Around Nerisa, small magical creatures were swimming, which shone like flames of light underwater, and with every movement, they were providing magical protection. Nerisa herself was a symbol of beauty and power. Her light green eyes were creating a magical glow in the light of the water, and her golden hair was floating in the waves of the water, making every movement akin to music. She was standing in a golden room of her palace, where the combination of light and flames of water was creating a magical atmosphere. Nerisa had a strange feeling that someone was entering her world, but she didn't know that it was Saraf, who had come to thwart the Green Snake's plot.
Saraf, in his golden serpent form, slowly stepped into the waves of the water. With each step, small flames burst into the water, a symbol of his power. He knew that according to the laws of Nerisa's world, he could enter here and stop the plot of the green serpent, but he had to be careful. Every creature, every flame, and every magical flower was proving to be both a challenge and a help to him.
When Nerisa saw Saraf, her eyes were filled with surprise and joy, along with a slight concern. "Saraf, you have come." Saraf nodded, her golden flames flickering in the light. Everything inside the palace was shimmering with magical lights and golden flames, and Saraf's arrival filled the entire world with a new energy. Nerisa led her to a special room, where the combination of magic and light underwater was amazing. Saraf decided in his heart that he would foil the Green Serpent's plot while living in Nerisa's world and protect her. He knew that this was a moment to be away from Alina for a few days, but it was necessary for Alina's safety.
Saraf appeared in front of Nerisa, showing a strong determination and a gleam of love in his golden eyes. Nerisa explained to her that every flame, every creature, and every spell here was there to protect Saraf. No one could harm her here, and the plot would fail. Saraf vowed in his heart that he would protect Nerisa and her world at all costs and thwart the power of the Green Snake. Every movement under the water was like a magical dance. Small flames were swirling around Saraf, and every creature was approaching her, saluting her power. Nerisa told her that these creatures would not only provide protection but would also inform her of any danger, so that Saraf would be ready at any moment.
Stepping into the pool, Saraf thought to himself that these were a few days to stay away from Alina, but this distance would protect him from the Naag Prince or any danger. Nerisa told him that the magical energy hidden under the water here would keep Saraf strong in all situations, and he would be able to thwart every plot of the Green Snake.
Saraf saw love and trust in Nerisa's eyes. He knew that for Nerisa, he was a protector, a friend, and a confidant. He nodded and said, "I will protect your world." "I will, Nerisa. And for Alina, too, I will do everything to keep her safe."
Nerisa led her into the pond, showing her that every corner here was a combination of magic and light. Every flame, every little flower, and every creature was forming a magical veil to protect Saraf. Saraf felt the memories of Alina in her heart and knew that even after a few days apart, her love and protection would never diminish.
Hidden in the darkness, Izrak—the green serpent with poison in his breath and greed in his eyes—existed. His body was a deep emerald green, and his eyes shone as if he wanted to enslave everything. Izrak had been watching Nerissa's world for years, her power, her beauty, and her rule—everything. He knew that if he could get Nerissa, the entire mermaid world would automatically bow at his feet.
Izrak was in no hurry to start a fight. He was cunning. He started to cause small damage first. Here and there, corals suddenly began to dry up, somewhere poisonous waves began to spread in the water, and somewhere fish began to faint and rise to the surface. All this was happening so slowly that no one could immediately guess who was behind it.
The people of the mermaid world began to be afraid. Young mermaid girls swam holding each other's hands, and mermaid soldiers began to increase surveillance in all directions. All eyes were on their queen.
She was the epitome of beauty that could fill the heart with both peace and fear at the same time just by looking at her. Her hair was as black and long as the night of the sea, her eyes were as clear as blue glass, and her voice had a power that could command the waves. But that night, there was concern in her eyes. In the depths of the ocean world, the relationship between Narissa and Saraf was not just locked in time, but a story of souls connected over centuries. Saraf had protected Narissa before, and every time there was a threat, he would immediately appear. Narissa could remember how one day, when a dangerous poison had hit the island in the ocean, Saraf had saved the entire area with his golden power. At that time, he was present in the form of a small golden snake, and Narissa felt for the first time how her heart beat in sync with his presence.
This relationship was not limited to protection. Narisa and Saraf felt each other's sorrows and joys for centuries. Saraf was never in a hurry to show his power, but Narisa knew that he was there for her every moment, in every breath. And knowing that he was always with her gave Narisa's heart peace and confidence.
After Saraf left, Alina became deeply sad and spent her days lost in her thoughts. Meanwhile, the Nag Prince was preparing a powerful magical spell, one that would allow him to get close to Alina without even the army of golden snakes around him noticing. At the same time, Nerisa revealed to Saraf a magical incantation—one that would enable him to show Alina, through her dreams, the depths of the sea and the enchanting world that lay beneath its waves.
Alina's dreams were also now beginning to show glimpses of this magical world. Her dreams were not an ordinary night's sleep; they were scenes that foretold the future, informed her of old memories and danger. She would dream that she was swimming in the depths of the ocean, the blue water scattering light around her, and colourful corals, golden pearls and magical lamps of light shining on her path.
In her dreams, she would see Nerissa and Saraf together, and understand that this world was no ordinary place. Mermaid girls and boys swimming in the water played around her, and in each of their eyes was a story of the light of nature and magic. When Alina's eyes went to the palace, she would see how Nerissa protected everyone with natural rule, and how, without Saraf, this world could never be complete.
Sometimes, in her dreams, she would sit next to Saraf herself, feeling protected by the light of her golden body, and her heart would start beating every time. These dreams would tell him that the coming days would not be free of danger, but the power of love and protection was always there.
When Saraf took his steps towards Narissa, he knew that the biggest test for him would be the distance from Alina. He knew that Alina was still young, and it was important to enjoy life without dangers in her dreams, but his heart could not live without her.
Saraf said in his heart, "Alina… my heart is empty without you. Leaving you, even if it was temporary, is the greatest torment." His golden eyes sparkled, but there was also pain and fear in his heart. Every moment, he thought that if he was not close to Alina, who would protect her? Who would protect her dreams? And the greatest fear was that the Serpent Prince's plots would succeed without him.
He took a deep breath, increasing the light in his body even more, so that everyone in the water world would realise that safety was here, but there was a void in his heart, which could only be filled by Alina's presence. Every moment, every moment, the memory and love for Alina grew in Saraf's heart, and this inner breakdown made him even stronger, so that he could do everything right in the future.
