>>...and the bottle of the rum! Eyy!<<

Matthew and his crew were drinking. We have been here for a few days, and they were celebrating every night. Turns out they were a couple of living crew members. The dead ones were lying on the stone floor near the shore where we were, sleeping I think. Matthew said they would rise again at his demand, since he was controlling them.

As far as I could gather, he found this place on one of his expeditions and accidentally disturbed the peaceful sleep of magic so it took lives as a payment, and in all the mess he somehow managed to rule over the piece of magic and was now able to control the dead. I still was not sure if it was magic or divine presence in there.

>>Hey pretty, why don't ya come here and bring me some comfort?<< some guy told me. I cringed, turning my head towards the water.

>>No, Smith. This beauty is only for me. Try to touch him and see what happens.<<

>>Ay , ay, cap. No need for trouble.<< I saw something moving in the water and curiosity ruled over. I stood up, going to the water.

>>Hey, what are you doing?!<<

>>Let him go, he can't escape.<<

I tuned them out, falling on my knees. I looked at my reflection, then focused my eyes to look beyond the surface, seeing this part - no matter it was near the beach - was deep. Then something broke the calm surface. I nearly yelled but managed to contain my scream, seeing as they would come to see what happened. My hand was covering my mouth, my eyes big. Mermaid. There was a mermaid in front of me.

>>Oh my Forces.<< I think it was the same mermaid I saw on the rock in the Siren Sea. Or well, not a mermaid but a siren. Just to be sure, I asked her. >>You are a siren, are not you?<<

>>Yes, I am, prince Louis.<<

>>You know who am I?<<

>>Of course. You don't know this, but you actually helped free one of ours. Besides, word travels fast, so when we heard of a prine so soft and gentle like a seaweed ten years ago, we decided to keep an eye on you. We knew you went missing, and we decided to help you.<<

>>You will help me?<<

>>Yes. You're the only one worth the crown. One of the rare persons who helps us. What do you want me to do?<<

>>Um… I am sure the Styles brothers are looking for me.<<

>>They were near the Siren Sea yesterday.<< I breathed out a sigh of relief.

>>Could you tell them Matthew has an army of dead? Not just the ones from the alley, but a real army?<<

>>I was thinking about taking you to them.<<

>>It would be risky, especially if Matthew find us.<<

>>Hey, who are you talking to, baby?<<

>>Please, good siren, tell them about the army… and that I love them. Go before they catch you.<< she nodded and swimmed off.

>>To no one but myself, Matthew.<<

>>Let's go to the ship, tommorow's a big day.<<
