The Pirate and The Merhog

The Truth Revealed

As Jules was waiting...

The nurse came to give Jules the news about Aleena's wounds. "The Young Lady's wounds have been treated however her legs will feel sore for a few days but you may see her if you like." the nurse said to the light blue male hedgehog.

Meanwhile.....

Stella was contemplating on what her eels revealed to her about Jules and how he killed a dangerous shark with his bare hands and pure unmatched speed and strength. She had no idea that Jules was this strong and formidable. It left her speechless seeing the power he possessed. "That blue hedgehog is ruining our plans!" said Stella. "But If you got your hands on the Sea King's trident you could disable the pendant's abilities that allow Jules' super speed somehow was converted into his newfound ability to breathe underwater and swim at super speed." said the 1st eel.

"That sounds good in theory, but wouldn't work. I don't know exactly how Leonardo made those pendants for his daughters and I don't know the full scope of their powers. The very fact that they can bond with surfacers was unforeseen and has never been seen before until now." said Stella. "Perhaps we'll steal one of his blueprints on how he built those pendants and give it to you so you could see if you could disable the abilities of the pendant." said the 2nd eel.

"Alright and when you two come back with that Blueprint, we can figure out how to get our plan into action." said Stella. "You really believe those pendants have blueprints to them?" the 1st eel asked Stella. "No, I was talking in sarcasm. Leonardo might as well have made a blueprint of his trident if that was the case with those pendants. And even if there were blueprints, you'd have no way of getting them!" said Stella. "Then do you even have any suggestions, my lady?" asked the eels.

"I'll think of something. But we still don't know the full scope of Jules' powers and abilities. He single-handedly killed a shark so effortlessly, you both think you can take him on?" Stella said while looking at her eels. The eels gulped and shook their heads. "That would be suicide!" cried the 1st eel. "Yeah! We would be dead by then!" shouted the 2nd eel. "Alright, I'll let you two continue spying on them until I figure something to get rid of the light blue hedgehog and get my hands on King Leonardo's trident." said the Sea Witch.

Back at the hospital, Jules got word of Arthur being in the hospital also after learning Isabella was there with him. He gave both Aleena and Arthur the healing herbs given to him by the king. The herbs were what they needed to greatly aid and speed up their complete recovery. "These healing herbs from the sea king really came in handy." said Jules. "It should be able to help them recover faster." said Isabella. "I've heard that you saw Arthur's real identity." said Jules. "I did and he was hurt so I had to get him medical care before anyone else saw him." Isabella told Jules.

Isabella turned to Jules and asked. "So, what's the true story about how you met Aleena and Arthur?" the female mongoose asked the light blue male hedgehog. "There's no point in hiding the truth from you anymore. It goes all the way back to that day when Amadeus had me do his fishing work in separating the catch on the ship...Aleena was actually the injured purple creature that was caught in the fishnet that day. I cut the net open to let the fish out and including the purple creature. I saw that she had fins and it soon came to me that she's a Merhog." Jules explained to Isabella.

Isabella listened to Jules entire story and only asked questions in certain areas she would want further clarifications in. To say she was amazed would have been the understatement of the century, but it explained so much about why Jules changed so much since that day on the ship. "That explains why you never told anyone about her because she's not only a merhog but also the youngest daughter of the Sea King." said Isabella. "As for Arthur. I don't know that much about him except he's the sea king's most trusted high ranking commanding officers." said Jules.

"He's military general!?" cried Isabella. "If I remember correctly, second highest ranking commanding officer. That would make him a colonel, second to the general if I'm correct." said Jules. "No, you're right. That explains why he was so disciplined and stoic in his demeanor." said Isabella. "I should see how Aleena is doing. I'm guessing that she's still sleeping right now." Jules said to Isabella.

"Likewise I should go check up on Arthur also. I'm sure by now the doctors changed and gave him new and clean bandages." said Isabella. "He's not accustomed to surface treatment and care. Be there to encourage and support him through this and not make him feel helpless or vulnerable." Jules told Isabella. "I will make sure that I support him as much as I can." said Isabella.

"That's great to hear. But don't try to pressure him into telling you more than he either wants to or is allowed to. There will be some things he will keep confidential for security reasons." said Jules. "I understand. I'll be on my way to go see Arthur now." Isabella said to Jules. "Tell Arthur I said hi." Jules said to Isabella before he went on his way to check on Aleena. "I will." Isabella said to Jules before she went on her way to check on Arthur.
