NUALA WOKE TO a low rumbling. She blinked her eyes open and the dark waters churned around the mountain. Trapped beneath several large rocks, she tested her back fins as the volcano shook, the reverberations echoing through the sea.

Liquid fire spewed from the opening, and she fought the urge to panic. She would not let Moira kill her. She would not let Moira win. Black rocks broke off the narrow ledge as she twisted and thrashed. She cried out as her back fin tore.

Blind with pain, she swerved away from the ledge. The eels screamed as they chased her, and she clawed at them with her fore-fins. She swam through the murky waters to Moira’s cave, ducking into the eerie blackness. She found the crown, swallowing mouthfuls of dead minnows as she grabbed it with her teeth.

Lava poured into the cave and she flipped, losing the eels in a tangle of their own tails as she shot out of the opening. She dodged the rolling bands of fire, skirting the thick forest of polyps and garden of black roses. The eels shrieked as they unraveled themselves and raced after her, but she didn’t look back.

She swam, crossing into the selkie boundaries and passing the kingdom far below. Predator fish picked up her trail of blood, snapping at her with angry teeth. She dove, flipping and switching directions until they were twisted in a circle and couldn’t see past the bubbles.

She had lived outside the boundaries long enough to know how to survive.

She swam until the beach and rocks rose up in the distance and she rode the waves to the salty shores of Seal Island. She let out a low whimper as the white sand rubbed into her wounds, but she pulled her broken body onto the beach. She lifted her head, releasing a long howl of distress before she collapsed, the blackthorn crown slipping from her mouth and rolling onto the sand.
