Under the Sea...

She looked over to the nightstand and saw the medallion. She picked it up and it was glowing. She looked back up at him as she got up and swam a couple feet in front of him. "Are... are you alive?"

((there was 2... one 4 me and 1 for yuo... im alive... corporeal, and now its glowing again!))

(( fixed it ))

"Damn straigth!" he was the only one tat knew that itwas a surfacer phraze, but he didn't care... he was happy to see her again.

She never heard of the phrase before, but it sounded positive, and close enough to a 'yes' for her. She swam to him and threw her arms around him, hugging him tightly. She pulled away and looked into his eyes, as if she was trying to search for the answer to her question before she asked it. "But how?"

"Magic." that was a true enough answer, though probably very vague. "I'm back.. as long as I don't die again." He thought about kissing her, and thenf elt her emotions again. "I can feel your emotions again..."

"What specifically do you feel?"

((What should he feel?))

"You wish that you chose me?" He wasnt so sure, he didn't completely trust a power that was gone...

She looked at Ewan who was still asleep. "If I did, none of this would have happened." She said sadly as her eyes watched him sleep . "He can't bare the pressure of being king." Her eyes then returned to Thay.

"I know..." He didnt nkow what eh was feeling, mroe like a feeling of giving up and wishing she could take something back, but Thay wasn't so sure it ws about the choice...

"Will you be taking the thrown back?"

"Thrown? You be the crown... maybe. I don't know i need a queen and Taty isn't suited for thoe affairs.. they'd drain her incredibly fast."

She just stood ( or floated.. ) there and nodded slightly. She knew what he was getting at. If she was to become the Queen, then Ewan wouldn't be suffering from the responsibilities of the crown. He was stressed and it had changed him. She still loved him so much, and she knew he loved her, but it wasn't the same relationship they would have had as it would have been if there wasn't a competition.

"But you and Ewan..." he didn't want her like that, she wanted her to have a choice

"I do love Ewan, and he has my heart." She admitted. "But I've been selfish for too long. Ewan is a good merman, but he is not fit to be a king. If I was to marry him, the kingdom would crumble. If you were to rule again, it would become strong."

"But-" Lila interuptted her.

"You need to be king, Thay." She told him quietly. "It's who you are. It's who you were born to be."

"I can't be king without a queen, and I know you want tobe his queen."

"How about Chenelle?"

"She doesn't want to beb... And you know I want you to be queen."
