[color=00aeef] As the man who was presumably the leader approached with what looked like was a smaller human clinging to his back he announced,[color=red]"Anyone want to report their recent whereabouts?[/color]"Leo blanched, shooting Balon a look. [color=a187be]"Uh. We are right in front of you...?"[/color]. Was their leader insane? after Balon touched Gwens face for some strange reason the leader dumped the small human into his arms and turned towards her and Amphi,  [color=red]"So how are you lovely mermaids doing? Mind telling me what is going on exactly?"[/color] .....lovely..what? What was he playing at? Leo was instantly suspicious of the man who was much too pretty.Before she could open her mouth to reply she felt a small quiver behind her as Amphi let out a frustrated sigh[color=fdc68a]"quite frankly i don't know anymore! You talk about peace and then i hear one of my people screaming, then i find her IN A NET, being held hostage."[/color] She rubbed her temples gesturing at Leo[color=fdc68a]" And look at her! Look at the condition she's in! Leo what the hell happened to you?!"[/color] Leo blinked in surprise, reaching up to touch her forehead which had at some point, without her noticing, began to bleed profoundly. Ah bollocks. She felt a small hand wrap around hers and a slight pressure on her back as Amphi leaned against her.[color=fdc68a]"I have. No. Clue."[/color] Amphi continued,[color=fdc68a]"I thought I could trust you...You said you weren't here to hurt us."[/color] Leos heart hurt for the pain she heard in her dear friends voice. She glared at the leader, liking him even less now. This was the man her queen wanted.  She pondered on how to get Amphi and Gwen to safety so she could grab this leader and bolt.As she heard Balons voice speak up her attention was drawn to him.

Right Luz?"[/color][i] Wow[/i], she thought, seemed like he was able to give the orders around here. Leo kept silent, waiting to see how things unfolded.[/color]
