Using my mutilated tail, I half hopped and half dragged myself on the land. I had left Daro's cave and was heading towards the only person who could help me out of my predicament.

She was not going to be happy about this but as only person I knew on land, she had to help me find HIM.

The moon proudly peaked from behind the clouds. It was my only indication at how many hours I had left till midnight.

Soon enough, the silver hues revealed her castle. As quickly as I could, I went to the pool behind her room. Not too long ago, I had told her that a princess needed better security, but in that moment I was glad she had not listened to me.

I needed a way to sneak in her castle and convince her to borrow me her body.

Entering the pool, I enchanted the air around me to hide me away from the human eye. The spell would last as long as I am dropping with salt water.

I started the familiar trek to her room, passing the off white walls and ornaments but one jewel caught my eye.

Blue eyes, golden hair, pink thin lips. HIM.

My breathing stopped. My heart stopped. My brain stopped... well the only thing in my brain was how I was going to die right then.

And I would've, if it weren't for the feminine  hand that dragged me into her room.
