“What are you doing?!” gasped Cordelia when they reached the cove.

“Saving your life!” replied Rafe, insulted by Cordelia’s apparent lack of appreciation.

“I could handle it.”

“It didn’t seem like it. Look at the state of you,” said Rafe, fastening his trousers. “You’re lucky I got to you before the sharks.”

“I can’t feel my legs,” said Cordelia, worriedly.

“We need to get you help,” said Rafe, gently scooping the mermaid up in his arms.

Cordelia wrapped her arms around Rafe’s neck and he carried her to the lighthouse. As they approached Amatheia’s medical chamber, Cordelia lost consciousness.

“Help! We need help!” cried Rafe, standing outside Amatheia’s door.

Amatheia immediately opened the door and Rafe lay Cordelia on the bed.

“How did this happen?” enquired Amatheia, gathering a selection of apothecary bottles from the shelves.

Rafe cleared his throat. “Sirens,” he said. “They attacked her.”

“Sirens have come here?” asked Amatheia, dripping ointment into Cordelia’s mouth.

“No, it happened at Slate Island.”

Amatheia’s eyes widened. “What were you doing there?”

“It’s a long story.”

“I’m listening.”

Amatheia soaked strands of dried dillisk in salt water ready to bandage Cordelia’s wounds, while Rafe began to explain his version of events. He’d barely started when he stopped talking. He gazed at Cordelia’s tail. He hadn’t really noticed the colours in the dark but as Amatheia dabbed the blood away in the candlelight, the colours became much clearer.

“What is it?” asked Amatheia, studying Rafe.

“Isn’t that…”

Amatheia nodded. “Go and get Triton.”

Rafe promptly left the medical chamber and sped along the tunnel.

“Tell him it’s urgent,” called Amatheia.
