Under the sea, the world is calm. Soft blue light moves in the water. Tiny fish swim around. Colors glow on coral. Armani loves the sea. She loves the blue waves.
One morning, Armani plays near a seaweed forest. Tall green plants sway. Small crabs crawl on sand. Bright starfish rest on rocks. She hears a soft song. It is the queen's call.
A tiny sea snail offers a shell map. The map shows a path. Armani looks at the map. She feels ready. She hugs her map. She is brave. Armani loves her friends.
Armani is a little girl mermaid. She lives in a bright sea. She swims with fish. She is shy. She is kind. One day she meets Queen Octavia. Queen Octavia is a gentle coral queen. The queen smiles. The queen asks for help. The queen lost a small shell. The shell is very sparkly. It is the queen's favorite. Armani feels brave. She nods yes.
Armani swims here. She swims there. She looks for the shell. She looks under rocks. She looks near shells. She looks near anemones. She asks fish for help. A small fish says, "I saw a shell near a big cave." Armani thanks the fish. She swims to the cave. The cave is dark. She feels a bit scared. She shakes. She takes a deep breath. She says, "I can do this." She swims in.
Inside the cave she sees a sea dragon. The dragon is big. The dragon looks sleepy. It has green scales. It has gentle eyes. Armani is afraid at first. She hides behind a rock. She watches the dragon. The dragon yawns. The dragon makes a small puff. The dragon stares at a shell. The shell is bright pink. The dragon holds the shell. Armani sees it. She steps forward. She says, "Hello, Mr. Dragon." The dragon blinks. The dragon smiles. Armani smiles back.
Armani says, "I need that shell." The dragon tilts its head. It gently puts the shell down. The dragon says, "I found this shell. I did not know it was lost." Armani nods. Armani picks up the shell. She holds it gently. She thanks the dragon. The dragon waves its tail and says, "Good luck." Armani waves back.
Armani swims fast. She carries the shell. She sees Queen Octavia near a coral tower. Queen Octavia looks sad. Armani calls, "Your shell!" The queen's face lights up. She claps her hands. She says, "Thank you, Armani. You are brave and kind." The queen hugs Armani. The queen gives Armani a pearl necklace. The necklace is white and smooth. Armani touches the pearls. She feels happy.
Armani smiles. She swims home. She waves to the fish. The fish wave back. The sea feels bright. Armani feels proud. She learned to be brave. She helped a friend. She met a dragon. She faced fear. She made a queen happy. Armani's adventure ends with joy.
