The Fish and the Chickadee A Red velvet Pancakes Story

Love at first site (part two!)

James swam towards the polluted water. The pollutant had only spread a few yards out so far. The first thing he had to do was contain the spread of the toxic magical energy.  He began weaving his magic into the water around him letting it spread and form a kind of barricade. His magic was a curling mass of deep navy blue on the edge of being a black. It created a kind of net that kept the energy from spreading into more habitated waters. Distressed whistle's and squeak's reached his sensitive ears. He popped his head out of the water curious to see what the noise was. There on the beach was a young adolescent dolphin. The creature had obviously been infected by the residual magic in the water. It's skin was an unnatural sickly purplish grey and the magic was creeping across it in black curling veins of dark energy. He wanted to help the poor sea creature calling out for help in obvious pain but there was nothing he could possibly do. He had absolutely no grasp of any form of healing magic, and he couldn't take it back to the castle to be tended to as the infection would spread from the dolphin into anyone and anything in its immediate vicinity that didn't have a proper protection charm and or spell on it. He let out an agitated growl baring pointed fangs and digging his claws into his palms. All merpeople had fangs and claws. It was one of the things that made them so feared. That and the fact that they severely disliked most non aquatic beings. He himself had sunk many a ship for dumping trash in his waters or killing sea creatures they themselves had endangered. They constantly polluted the oceans and damaged the ecosystem. That was the main reason that that the mer were prone to attacking ships and causing storms. The merfolk were honestly a quite vengeful people. He was about to approach to put the poor thing out of it's misery, when the most innocently adorable boy he'd ever seen came rushing towards the ill dolphin. The land dweller had long blond hair that stopped just above his shoulders falling in waves of gold like the sunset upon the sea, his skin was pale and looked soft to the touch reminding him of an artic seal pup, and his eyes were unlike anything he had ever seen. Large sparkling amethysts full of such life and innocence, so unlike like James' own dull violet orbs, it made his heart physically ache. James swam behind a conveniently placed rock at the edge of the pollution and watched as the boy gently took the injured dolphins head into his lap placing slim pale hands on either side of it's smooth cranium. At that moment the terrifying, mighty, sea king, ruler of the oceans of the world and all within it, was jealous of a dolphin, a creature that was used as a common work animal by the mer. He watched in amazement as the boy's gentle golden magic flowed through him and into the dolphin. The golden energy looked soft and airy. Small glowing wisps occasionally breaking off to region in the boys palms and flow into the dolphin. Healing magic was a rare trait among any species especially the mer, with his people it was more of a secondary trait and any that were even remotely skilled enough to be considered decent healers resided within the palace, and even they could not do as much as the more gifted healers. This small boy's magic though seemed to be even more volatile than an average healers, and it quickly clicked in James' mind that this boy had Life magic, he practically radiated with the warm, energizing, comforting feeling of the rare magic type. The only thought in James head at that exact moment was "Mine". He wanted him. Wanted to feel the soft creamy skin beneath his rough calloused hands. Wanted to feel those kissable pale coral pink lips against his own chapped ones. Most of all he wanted those eyes. Those sparkling amethysts of pure radiant light to look at him and only him with nothing but love and devotion. He could only imagine what it would feel link to run his fingers through those silky golden curls and see that beautiful face stained with a crimson blush. The object of his affection took out a protection charm and using a cord of leather tied it to the dolphins tail delicately. As the boy called over the small polar bear, that had been nervously pacing behind him, to help him return the now healed and protected dolphin back into the water he made his move. swimming closer into the shallower water the boy was standing in he grabbed his ankle and dragged him towards the deeper water out of the pollution all they had been in, the only thing protecting all three of the beings from the deadly magic being the protection charms around their necks. He heard the surprised exclamation of the small bear, obviously the sweet angles familiar, and the boys surprised shriek before it was cut off by his head getting dragged under. James dragged him back to the rock he had originally been watching him from and pulled the boy closer, grasping him by his upper arms he watched as the boy "no" he mentally amended "young man", struggled to hold his breath, eyes screwed shut in his fear of drowning. Now it is a known fact that a mermaids kiss is a magical thing. What it does exactly few non merfolk actually knew. The person James held in his arms however was about to find out as the sea king crashed his lips into the smaller's. Reveling in the feathery softness of them. When the young man gasped he took the opportunity to gently breath his own magic into the others open mouth. James couldn't help to smirk into the kiss pulling away gently and looking into wide surprised violet orbs behind oval spectacles. Yes my friends the kiss of a mermaid is a very special thing indeed, because if they so wish it can give a person the ability to breath water as easily as they breath air. James normally stoic expressionless face broke into a small grin. looking curiously at a curly strand of hair that stuck out of the younger's hair and hung just above those large doe eyes, he reached to pull on it. And that's when the furry little menace known as Kumajiro barreled into his chest forcing him away from the little chickadee he held in his arms.
