Flowering 11 (Mustering)/Gillihís 11 (Dosdía):  While Fuchsia Almónd and Marrón Almónd stayed behind to assist with the royal transition, Duque Miguel Fulmando and Duquesa Dulce Fulmando left the Millisymph capital city of Durmando to return to the city of Fulmando.  Condesa Sierra Milspar, age 7, traveled with them to see her city of Milspar.  Her mother, Princesa Marisol de San Marino who had been named Regent of Millisymph upon the elevation of her son and Sierra's brother to Rei Geraldo VII, King of Millisymph, had too much business to attend to, and said neither she nor Sierra could go.  But Sierra insisted, and Marisol relented and let her daughter go to see "the City of Mermaids."  Rei Geraldo VII, through Princesa Marisol, officially approved Sierra traveling to Milspar.  As for Sierra being changed temporarily into a mermaid, the young Rei Geraldo VII thought it was a good idea, but his mother Regent Princesa Marisol was uncertain, so a decision was delayed.  They did agree that Mistress Magus Mojarósa could help Sierra meet a mermaid.
As Miguel and Dulce had their retinues who traveled with them, Sierra wanted her own.  Her retinue included Mistress Magus Mojarósa (whom she named fabulous special diplomat of Milspar), Warrior-Priestess Yaritza la Abridora (she named dreamy fighter of Milspar), Dame Yepia de Palma (she named victory knight of Milspar), Yepia's Squire Tawny Salazar (she named special squire of Milspar), and Sierra's nanny Anastacia de Milspar (she named sweet nanny of Milspar and also gave the surname "de Milspar" which Anastacia accepted). The "titles" given by Sierra were not considered official.  Also traveling with them were Auburn Beigé, Umber Beigé, Amber of the Ebony Flame, Ash of the Ebony Flame, Tawnia of the Twin Towers, and Titiana of the Twin Towers.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
Flowering 12 (Landsday)/Gillihís 12 (Tresdía): Condesa Sierra Milspar caught a fish that weighed nearly as much as she did, although she had help landing it.  Her nanny Anastacia de Milspar said Sierra was a natural born fisherwoman, swimmer, and sailor.  While ordinarily such a thing might be said of a young girl, especially a daughter of the king, to please her, members of the crew privately said it was true.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
Flowering 13 (Hammering)/Gillihís 13 (Quadía): The parties of Duque Miguel Fulmando and Duquesa Dulce Fulmando and that of Condesa Sierra Milspar separated, with Sierra and her retinue headed by ship for Milspar.  Their ship, El Dragón Negro, was captained by Destino el Vano with first mate Macario Morricko.  While in El estrecho de Millisymph (Millisymph Strait). they were attacked by a pirate ship ironically and appropriately named El Dragón Invisible (Invisible Dragon).  The pirates had apparently thought the other ship an easy mark, but were wrong.  In spite of being invisible, the pirate ship was sensed and then made visible by Mistress Magus Mojarósa.  Warrior-Priestess Yaritza la Abridora bested the pirate Capitán Eracio.  While not as familiar with on-board combat, Dame Yepia de Palma bested the pirate's first mate Rojelio.  Unfortunately, though, during the battle Squire Tawny Salazar was stabbed by a large knife deep in the chest.  She nearly died, but was treated by Mojarósa.
The group took the pirate ship.  Condesa Sierra Milspar renamed the ship La Sirena Invisible (Invisible Mermaid) and declared it to be her ship.  (While the seven-year-old did not actually have the authority to make such a proclamation, her older brother Rei Geraldo VII with her mother Princesa Marisol later granted it to her).  In a locked room of the ship, they found what looked like a coffin which they discovered was locked from the inside.  Eventually getting it open, they saw it had a damaged human body in it which they determined was alive but in a form of suspended animation.  Oddly, the body seemed damaged inside the clothing, but the clothiing was in excellent shape.  Capitán Eracio el Oso was discovered to be possessed by the person of the suspended body; Mojarósa removed the curse.  The now unsuspended body revived to be Dejuan el Misericordioso.  Dejuan claimed, and the other pirates agreed, that they were always merciful to any ship that cooperated, just taking its "excess" loot, and leaving the rest behind and the people unharmed.  When questioned about the battle and Yepia nearly being killed, Dejuan said, "But you did not cooperate."
Both ships continued to Milspar without incident.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
Flowering 19 (Godsday)/Gillihís 19 (Undía): In Milspar, convicted mage pirate Dejuan el Misericordioso, formerly of El Dragón Invisible, was publicly hung by the neck until dead for good example.  Other crewmembers hung included first mate Rojelio and seven others; most of the rest were made slaves by law.  The seven-year-old Sierra thought the hanging people looked "awfully funny."
Captain Eracio el Oso, whose body had been unwillingly possessed by Dejuan, was pardoned of all crimes but insisted on making amends.  He was then "sentenced" to serve as captain of El Dragón Invisible renamed (with the nautical figurehead to be changed appropriately) La Sirena Invisible.  He said he was ashamed of what he had done even though he was possessed, and asked Sierra to rename him so he could start anew, although he hoped he could still be called Eracio.  Sierra thought about Princesa del Mar (Princess of the Sea), but was gently dissuaded from that.  As he had let Sierra pick out seashells she wanted from those he had collected, she declared him to be Eracio el Amigo de Conchas (Eracio, Friend of Seashells) which he accepted.
Condesa Sierra Milspar was given a tour of Milspar; her entourage included Mistress Magus Mojarósa, Warrior-Priestess Yaritza la Abridora, Dame Yepia de Palma, Yepia's Squire Tawny Salazar, Capitán el Amigo de Conchas, and Sierra's nanny Anastacia de Milspar along with Auburn Beigé, Umber Beigé, Amber of the Ebony Flame, Ash of the Ebony Flame, Tawnia of the Twin Towers, and Titiana of the Twin Towers.  She liked Hogar de Santa Qut infantil de Milspar (Children's Home of St. Qut of Milspar).  She didn't like the looks of El mesón de la rosa y el cangrejo (Rose and Crab Inn), but then loved its extremely rare rosa helado (pink ice cream), so decided the inn was good after all.  She surprisingly asked if she coud have some of the ice cream at home instead of demanding it; she was told it would be worked out.  She didn't care for "her" castle, El Castillo de Milspar (the Castle of Milspar), and demanded the blue brick be made pink like the inn and it have pink ice cream.  The castle had been blue for about 90 years, but it would soon become pink.
Mistress Magus Mojarósa, Tawnia of the Twin Towers, and Titiana of the Twin Towers went to Mojarósa's home in Milspar.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
Flowering 21 (Landsday)/Gillihís 21 (Tresdía): Mistress Magus Mojarósa, Tawnia of the Twin Towers, and Titiana of the Twin Towers returned to El Castillo de Milspar (the Castle of Milspar).  They joined Condesa Sierra Milspar and left the city of Milspar, taking Sierra home to Durmando.  They traveled on Sierra's newly re-christened La Sirena Invisible (Invisible Mermaid) sailing under Capitán Eracio el Amigo de Conchas.  Others who traveled with them included Warrior-Priestess Yaritza la Abridora, Dame Yepia de Palma, Yepia's Squire Tawny Salazar, Sierra's nanny Anastacia de Milspar, Auburn Beigé, Umber Beigé, Amber of the Ebony Flame, Ash of the Ebony Flame Tawnia of the Twin Towers, and Titiana of the Twin Towers.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
Flowering 22 (Hammering)/Gillihís 22 (Quadía): At sea on La Sirena Invisible (Invisible Mermaid), Dame Yepia de Palma asked Condesa Sierra Milspar if she knew what something was that she saw in the ocean nearby.  Sierra wasn't sure.  It came closer to the ship, and Sierra very excitedly identified it as a mermaid.  Sierra then said she wanted to go swimming in the water with it.  Her nanny Anastacia de Milspar said that wasn't possible, but Warrior-Priestess Yaritza la Abridora said if Sierra stayed on the ship they could make it so she could talk to the mermaid; Sierra couldn't talk to her in the water.  Sierra agreed.  Umber Beigé waved his arms and said some words, and the mermaid and Sierra talked.  The mermaid showed Sierra some tricks in the water, then Sierra said she wanted to do them too and tried running and jumping overboard, but was stopped.  She then ordered people to put her in the water.  The mermaid said the water was really deep and cold, too cold and deep for Sierra.  But the mermaid would meet Sierra in the river not far from El Palacio de Durmando.  Fortunately, Sierra agreed.  Sierra named the mermaid "Pezia," "pez" meaning "fish," which the mermaid accepted.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
Flowering 23 (Middleday)/Gillihís 23 (Cindía): La Sirena Invisible (Invisible Mermaid) docked at Durmando, Millisymph.  Passengers who debarked included Condesa Sierra Milspar, Mistress Magus Mojarósa, Warrior-Priestess Yaritza la Abridora, Dame Yepia de Palma, Yepia's Squire Tawny Salazar, Sierra's nanny Anastacia de Milspar, Auburn Beigé, Umber Beigé, Amber of the Ebony Flame, Ash of the Ebony Flame, Tawnia of the Twin Towers, and Titiana of the Twin Towers.  Sierra asked where her mermaid was, and was told she should be visiting the next day.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
Flowering 24 (Sweatingday)/Gillihís 24 (Seisdía): Princesa Marisol de San Marino agreed to let her daughter Condesa Sierra Milspar meet and become a mermaid in the river near El Palacio de Durmando (Palace of Durmando).  Rei Geraldo VII, Conde Pancho de San Marino, Master Tutor Nalo de Sombrano, and Nanny Anastacia de Milspar accompanied them.  When Sierra saw the mermaid she had named Pezia, she almost jumped in the river fully clothed, but was stopped and so undressed first.  The spell Transform Body (Merperson) was cast on Sierra, and was a critical success.  She swam and talked with the mermaid Pezia, who sang and told stories for her, for quite a while, then returned to land and to her normal form. Sierra declared Pezia as Princesa del Mar (Princess of the Sea), but was gently dissuaded from that.  Pezia said she'd like to be La amiga de la Condesa Sierra (friend of Countess Sierra); Sierra agreed, but then changed it to La mejor amiga de la Condesa de Sierra (best friend of Countess Sierra).  Sierra's mother Princesa Marisol, who trusted the person she knew the mermaid actually was, agreed, although still somewhat reluctantly.  (Best of Both Worlds 2019 03 01)
