Welcome to the final part of Pearl – A Chinese Mermaid Story! 

Last time, Hai brought a soul-blossom seed back from the realm of dreams… a seed that can bring Mei back to life – if only Hai can get it to bloom. Day after day Hai tends to the seedling, to no avail… until he discovers the missing link: the plant requires a blood tithe. As Hai sleeps, the soul blossom grows… 

Today, in the 12th and final part of Pearl, we find out how our story ends.
