“The seer mentioned some noteworthy places to hide. All good places, mind you, but not good enough. Not for me,” Galatia said. “The king was not going to rest until he had my head. He was after all users of magic, but it was obviously me he wanted most. all“When it came time to hide, I wanted to go somewhere I’d never have to worry; where I wouldn’t have to spend my days and nights looking over my shoulder, therefore I went to live with the mermaids.” Blodwyn said, “My questions are: How were you able to survive living underwater? How did you communicate with them? How did you ask permission to live with them? I can’t imagine it was as simple as swimming up to them and asking if there were vacancies at the local inn.” “My question is,” Mykal said, “are we really talking about mermaids?”
