“....House Drakon is noted to possess an innate ability to communicate and control dragons of any type. They are immune to dragon fire and can telepathically link, seeing through the dragon’s eyes as well as communicating instructions.”

“So, that’s how Tantalus knew we had breached the lair,” Cassie declared.

“Yes, he likely saw everything that happened there through the dragon’s eyes,” Alex replied.

“I wish we could do that now and see where the beast is hiding,” Leander added.

There were several nods from the group, as they all considered the statement.

“We need to start looking for contacts in the north,” Alex commented as he pulled a map of the area north of the mountains toward him.

“I could scout the mermaid bar here and see if any of the sailors know of a Tantalus ship in the area. The sailors love to try and impress the barmaids, so they are always spouting off,” Kelby suggested with a knowing smirk.

“You are sure we have a mermaid bar in Windfall?” Alex asked.

“All large seaports have a mermaid bar,” Ben stated, appearing distracted as he considered the map as well.

Alex almost burst out laughing as Ben realized both Cassie and Abrianna were staring at him as if he had grown a second head.

“From time to time I have had need to charter a vessel, and mermaid bars are the best source of reliable information,” Ben replied with a smile.

“Not ignoring the fact that mermaids have a particular fondness for men of power or Royalty?” Kelby asked slyly.

“I had noticed,” Ben replied, not shying away from the implications.

“Do we know which bar here is run by the mermaids?” Alex asked, rescuing Cassie and Abrianna from any further unwanted disclosures on Ben’s private life.

“I believe it’s called The Sailor’s Folly,” Ben replied lightly.

“I don’t even want to hear how you know that,” Abrianna declared.

“Ok, tomorrow I will stop in and see what I can find out,” Kelby commented, smiling at the ladies’ discomfort. It was clear she was warming to Ben’s presence.

“I should probably go with her,” Alex added protectively.

“I think not!” Cassie snapped back, “If anyone goes, it should be me.”

“Cassie is right,” Kelby replied, “Alex would be an unwelcome distraction to those in residence there, while a nymph and mermaid traveling together would be more welcome.”

While Alex had no desire to have his fiancée hanging out in a sailor’s bar, he doubted there was much in the way of danger beyond drunk, groping, sailors. On that, though, he feared for those men.

With the subject closed, the group retired to the downstairs dining hall for an evening meal. That time was spent in tales of their trip and speculation on the future.
