After Aquawlad had long departed, the sharks’ pacing patterns shifted as they seemed to stop in their circles to regard two mersoldiers and one officer that swam down the empty dungeon corridor. Aquarius wore a solemn expression, lips straight beneath his shell helm. He gripped in his fist a trident as his tail rhythmically parted into numerous tentacles before they wound tightly closed in their propelling motions. The three mermen came before the prison where Ariyah was kept, and they regarded the young mermaid. For a long moment, Aquarius said nothing for he was gazing upon the creature before him. It wasn’t every day that he saw a mermaid. No; the Shellborn dealt with larger threats on a regular basis and mermaids were normally so elusive that they were almost tales and bedtime stories in his culture. But here she was, an actual mermaid. She resembled a human cut in half and bound to the tail of a fish. Why? Why did the mermaids make more of their kind? It was unnatural. He began the interrogation:

[color=00746b][b]“I am Aquarius, Captain of the Shellborn Guard; Defender of the Kingdom; and you…are a mermaid. I nearly believed your race to be but a story, and yet here you are. What were you doing? You were alone. You were calling for help and when my men went to investigate, they reported to me that they found only an unharmed mermaid. So you weren’t in danger. So why did you call for help?”[/b][/color]
