The water around the mermaids and merman began to darken as the sun began to set above them. The storm had come to somewhat pass, leaving only harsh winds that caused the waves to rise and crash above them. 

Ariyah crossed her arms over her chest as she listened to Arys tell her the words that she had been hearing for a while. The young mermaid chose not to respond to her elder's question, sighing as she turned over to look at Link and looking at him up and down. He seemed fairly harmless, but who knew what he had up his sleeve. If he wore sleeves.

"[color=8882be]The turtles..[/color]", Ariyah repeated softly as she looked up and into the distance where the islands were. "[color=8882be]They're in our islands right? Aquawlad should be there.[/color]" She suddenly remembered about the human she had saved and a small gasp escaped her lips. "[color=8882be]Oh! We've got to go! Now![/color]" Without warning, Ariyah turned swiftly and grabbed Arys's wrist, pulling her towards where Arys had just tried to pull her. 

"[color=8882be]Hurry![/color]" Ariyah didn't mind if Link followed. He had already shown that he meant no harm, and to have someone to watch over them while they were busy helping the wildlife.

It didn't take the mermaids long to get to where the islands were. They were mostly hidden in a cove, near their kingdom and where they hid when there were attacks. Ariyah could see Aquawlad's tail flicking around in the water, her torso above the surface as she was probably speaking to the human. The dark haired mermaid turned to face Arys, her own violet eyes looking straight into the others gold eyes. "[color=8882be]Go help the turtles. Aquawlad will help you.[/color]" With that said, Ariyah swam up to meet Aquawlad, her head breaking through the surface and stopping to where the water covered her from the shoulders down. "[color=8882be]Is she okay?![/color]" Ariyah turned and searched frantically, her eyes stopping when she saw the human still at the island beach. "[color=8882be]She's freezing to death slowly. She'll die of hypothermia![/color]" Ariyah didn't exactly know where that word came from. She had never spoken of it before and neither had her sisters. It must have been something that the humans said, and her ever fading memories must have been revived for a brief second. 

"[color=8882be]Will she be turned?[/color]"
