Chapter 18. 
So they ate.  

Jantir and Megalyn sat around the Ocean bed making weapons and cures with Site.  The petite warrior didn't know much but tried hard to impress her fellow mates. 

King Johnkell was well on his way back.  Megalyn hoped he would be okay with the news she had to give. 

Down at the Ocean Towers King Morfah sat watching Talents from all under the water lands.  They tried entertaining showing dance and songs for Princess Tilfa's Marriage. 

King Morfah didn't enjoy any so far.  Tilfa on the other hand was not there but in her room with a guard. 

Tilfa decided to hide what she called help, in different locations.  (She hid the weapons from the Orphanage.)

After being in Tilfa's room it was decided to go see the Post where Aquatin should be. 

...

Aquatin was near the Post as thought.  Tilfa told the maids on duty that she needed Aquatin to watch her for the rest of the hour. 

..

When Tilfa and her company arrived at the cells she ordered the guards to take cover at the post Aquatin had.  When they asked why, Tilfa didn't need to answer they just did as told and headed to the Post. 

Aquatin followed Tilfa and her guards to the cell quarters where she snatched the keys from a guard ordering him to leave. 

Mouth worried what the guard might say so he told him the Princess needed to speak with the prisoners alone. 

Tilfa closed the doors, swam to the cells falling to the ground overwhelmed with upcoming consequences she is haunted by. 
Mouth helped Princess Tilfa bringing her to Mikekell.

"My love please let us know what you're feeling.  We are all tired of waiting but don't lead your heart to disaster."  Mikekell told her. 

"It is so good to hear your voice.  I am truly sorry.  I have argued with my father and he hates me.  He says he knows something, something about us.  I was hit by my father with his own hands today.  I am very angry I can say I do not care!  I want you released, we will probably die but die in your arms I rather do.  Let me set you all free.  We must do this now or never."  Tilfa announced.

"As you wish.  I cannot speak for my friends.  They have lives and they now more than ever deserve to choose for themselves."  Mikekell explained. 

The seven prisoners Onu, Owt, Eerth, Rouf, Evif, Six and Neves; the blind mermaid came over to the cell coral bars standing together in agreement with Mikekell.   Tilfa nodded and opened the door. 

The corroded coral around the key hole colored the water with green and brown as Tilfa unlocked. 

Mikekell stayed close to his friends especially Owt who kept the water away from the knights face. 

Mikekell went to hug his love Tilfa but Neves stopped him handing him his breathing device.  He smiled taking the mask.

"We must not celebrate now but keep moving.  Please share anything you have planned or worked on as I do not know how to do this alone.  I have the Lady Megalyn willing to heal and help.  She as not called me but I feel she is near working on medicines and not alone.  Now what you see here is all we have on our side."  Tilfa pointed out.  

"I need this collar off Princess or I cannot help.  My power is rusty but very strong.  I can do just as much as you and your father.  Do you carry the keys on you to remove this from me?"  Asked Six.
