“PRINCESS THEA,” PRINCE Llyr called as soon as I stepped onto the sand. I turned to thank Nip for his advice and then walked down to where the Prince was making his way to the water's edge. Logs had been placed strategically near the water so that we could sit and speak with the Nokken while allowing them to lay in the water. “I have a message from the Bog.”

“You do? Does my father know what is going on?” I asked, nervous that my father would order me to stay back.

“I don’t know if they know about your brother. The King just sent a message asking that you let him know you arrived safely. He also said your belongings left on the beach have been recovered, and he would speak with you about the beach when you return home.”

I gulped at the last part of the message, the real reason for sending a Nixie to the sea and then a Nokken here. Father knew something about the beach and the cottage. “Thank you, Prince Llyr. Could I bother you to send a message back? Just saying that I am safe and look forward to speaking with my father upon my return.”

Of course, I didn’t know when I would be returning, especially with having to go chase down the Nereids and save my brother. I quietly laughed at myself, as if I was chasing him down. More than likely I would be stuck on the ship, while everyone else did the hero thing.

“It would be my pleasure. How are you finding your first trip out of the Bog?” the handsome prince asked. He was definitely one of those men that was perfect eye candy but you did not have the desire to touch. Something about the green slimy skin and webbed toes.

“So far, it has been an adventure, though it is not my first trip out of the Bog. That was a few months ago and did not end so well.” Why did I have to mention that? He didn’t need to know about my foolishness.

“I’m sorry to hear that. Besides this adventure with your brother missing, what has been the most exciting part for you?” He looked at me as he spoke, as if he really cared and was not just making polite conversation.

“Um . . . so much has happened in such a short time that I really have not thought about it. Everything seems exciting, and scary.”

“Well, little one, that is life. It is one big exciting and scary adventure. Wait until you have a youngling that you are protecting. That takes on a whole new level of scary.”

“It sounds like you have children?” Let’s ignore the fact that I am too young according to Brownie years to have children.

His face lit up at my question, “Yes. I have thirty little ones.”

I tried not to let my eyes jump out of my head at his mention of thirty little ones. “Thirty! How old are they?”

“Well, they are all four months and just grew their legs.
