Under the Sea...

(( 😂 ))

His eyes narrowed as he felt what she felt. "You are not under me. None in this kingdom is under me. They choose to be under me, to serve me. Just as they choose to allow me to be king, just as a Remora chooses to mate, just as a human chooses swim in our waters. Just as I love you"

Back in his own quarters, Ewan sat down on the shabby old couch to think. He didn't like war.. He had experienced it before. It had taken his family away from him. He would never forget when his sister had been dragged off by the Atlantians. He had been quite young, only 6 or 7. He was injured badly, his arm broken and his tail torn so that he couldn't swim. He hid in the corals, afraid of what would happen if they caught him. Then he had seen them grab her by the elbows and pull her away. Ewan was ashamed of that memory, ashamed for his lack of bravery. Then he thought of Lila. If war came again, he decided, he would stand and fight. Whatever the king wanted him to do, he would find a way to do it.
Ewan went to the throne room, but saw the king talking to Lila. He asked another servant to go and tell the king for him.

King Roogna frowned involunatrily after picking up on Ewan's emotions.

((I just said a lot of stuff be more specific))

She nodded. "Yes, my lord." She heard of kings who didn't care about their subjects and those he ruled over, but King Thay was quite different, and she was glad. He was a very honorable king she respected highly. "I shall be in my room." She slowly swam away and in the hallway she saw Ewan. "Ewan!" She called, swimming after him.

Ewan smiled when he saw her. "What is it, Lila?"

The King smiled at Lila's comments and the emotions behind them.. But he couldnt decipher why she wanted him to knmow where she would be.

She smiled back at him. "You asked me out this morning. Are we still going on our date?" The smile never left her lips.

"Well, I wasn't sure if you still wanted to, after everything that happened today. But yes, I still want to."

The king swam past them. Angry and sad. He swam away from them leaving them behind, heading towards the sea of the dead.

"Even though I haven't made my decision, I would still like to get to know you." She told him. "Where would you like to go?"

Seeing the king going away to the "sea of the dead," Ewan rushed after him. "My lord! Where are you going?"

"Ewan turn around and dont follow me. Im sorry my friend, enjoy your date. Ive got some business to conclude with the undead tonight..."

Jon swam to the sea of the dead. He thoguht of how all dead merpersons ended up there, and then thought of Ewan's sister. If she was still alive, then she wouldnt be there. It was a gamble, but he had decided to find out for him.

She watched Ewan and Thay talk briefly and then saw Ewan slowly swim back to her. "Did you want to cancel our date tonight?"

Ewan sensed that there is something the king isn't telling him. "If this is about Lila.." The thought crossed his mind that he was planning on commiting suicide, but he pushed it away. Thay was wise. He would never be so petty. Ewan still worried, but did what the king told him and turned away.

((I have to go now cya))

Thay swam to the sea of the dead. His triton in his hands, he cautoiusly made his way through the seaweed. Finally a ghostly figure arose in front of him. "What are you doing her Mrking. U dare come back after killing three of our kin.!"

"Yeah.. It just worries me that the king is going off without telling us why.."

She placed her hand gently on his shoulder. "King Thay is very wise. He wouldn't do anything foolish." She assured him with a smile.

(( Night Darth ))

"They attacked my friends. They attacked Lila. None attacks her without dying. But this is not why I've come here" The undead figure flipped him off. Thay had no clue what that meant, so he ignored it. "I have come to learn if a certain merperson is in the halls of the dead."
