Chapter Ten

If humans were strange, pirates were the strangest of all. They accepted the supernatural quickly, but they questioned the nuances. When told it would be beneficial if some learned to fight in the water, the pirates only did so when they realized mermaids would be responsible for helping them gain their footing. Before Nereus could offer to shift their shapes, many of the pirates demanded it, enjoying the freedom of their temporary mermanhood.

Those who stayed aboard the ships trained with nets and arrows, plotting out the plans of attacks with Nereus, Preecha, and the few scholars who had gathered to provide intelligence on Mar’s defenses.

Worst of all was Bellamy. Handsome and blunt, the pirate captain pushed every button Nereus had, and even when the sea god struggled to hold his tongue, the blond smiled deviously and said, “You don’t like me much, do you?”

“I’m not accustomed to pirate ships. I need to remain in my territory to be aware of any advances Mar might make, so I have to project a doppelganger when you or one of the captains needs me for an island visit, or I have to take ownership of the island which isn’t always possible,” the god explained, folding his arms over his chest. “It’s why I had you all swear loyalty to me. If you are my people, I can protect you and anything you own becomes part of my territory — including these vessels.”

Bellamy tilted his head as his dark eyes narrowed. “So this is the real you?”

“Yes. Of course it is!”

The blond nodded, studying the god with that heavy gaze of his before he focused once more on the men in the water. “They’ve taken to it rather well. We should be ready soon.”

“Mar hasn’t gained territory, and he isn’t getting aid from any other god, so his army shouldn’t be any bigger than what we already know,” Nereus informed the pirate. Shaking his head, the sea god jumped to stand upon the side of the boat. “If you’re interested, I could make it so you can join them. Bless you to be a merman. Temporarily.”

“I have no interest. I’ll fight for you from this ship,” Bellamy replied.

With a sigh, Nereus dove down into the waters of his realm, joining the merfolk who aided the pirates. Already, the men could swim without problem, and they had adjusted their knowledge of swordplay and weaponry better than the god had expected. They would be a formidable army. If they could keep their hands to themselves.

Grabbing the wandering hand of a pirate who had been instructing a mermaid in the proper grip for a sword, Nereus offered a vicious grin. “If you disrespect any of my people, I will bring you to the floor and remove your gills. Am I understood?”

“Yes, Lord Nereus!” the pirate said, pulling away.

Glaring about the men, Nereus reminded them, “Any attack on my people — any law you break against them is a break of your covenant with me, and as you well know, I am a vengeful god.
