"What?! There are only humans on board, humans are bad! They killed my Lilia"
"These humans are nice"
"Vitya!" I hear his sweet voice reaching down to me.
"Yuri!"
He tosses a ladder down and we start climbing up, Yakov struggles with his human legs so me and Yuri pull him up with relative ease.
Once he is safely lying on the boat deck I launch into Yuri's arms.
"Yuri my darling"
"Vitya" he whispers and holds me close.
"I'm sorry, it was a love potion, I love you not her"
"I love you too Yuri"
I pull back and look around at the men on the ship.
"We must save my brother" I announce.
Yuri quickly wraps a blanket around my waist while blushing, what's with humans and nudity?
Yakov coughs and sits up. "I have a plan" All of the dozen men on board turn to him. "I don't have much magic left but" Yakov waves his hand and four bright shells fall to the boat deck "Take these"
I gasp, I know what these are. They turn humans into merpeople temporarily. I hand one to Yuri, one to Otabek and lean down to Yakov.
"No son, take someone younger and more agile" I look around and see several volunteers before an older woman walks through.
Otabek and Yuri salute "Captain" she smiles at me and Yakov recognizes her immediately.
"Lilia!?" he gasps.
