Tales from childhood: If there was magic in our world.

Hi! I'm Sophie. I want to tell you about my world.

What if we were all wizards? People would be able to do whatever they wanted.

"I want to get a magic wand now!" I say out loud.

The object immediately appears in my hands. And with the help of my magic wand, I continue my spell.

This way, I can improve some difficult situations. For example, when someone is arguing with someone else. Or if I want to get something quickly.

But these are all just dreams... As well as unicorns, mermaids, dragons, and fairies.

Nereid.

The Nereids (Νηρηίδες) were sea nymphs in Ancient Greece. Their parents were Nereus and Doris. They had a brother named Nerites.

The sea nymphs are fifty sisters. The Nereids looked like mermaids. Some of them had relationships with other gods and goddesses.

Artists painted many paintings about these creatures. Also, sculptors created statues of the sea nymphs.
