Magic Handwave!

Got back on the horse with incorporating the edits my classmates have given me. Ended on page 218/617, with a word count of 124,443. Which is something like fifty-eight words in the wrong direction, but the classmates thought I needed to enrich the text, so I did. I am defying mass/physics laws (though not nearly as blatantly as most Transformers series) in the length of a mermaid's tail, but it's fantasy, so, *magic handwave*.
