Sven felt anger build, but tamped it down. Now wasn’t the time to argue with his friends.

“I had Gus check her out,” Sven told them, trying not to sound defensive, “but he couldn’t see whatever it was that was keeping her energy low. He thought she was free of the creature’s taint.” Some of the anger in the room dissipated at his explanation. Thank the Goddess.

“And the sad fact is, the leviathan’s connection was something your shaman couldn’t see,” Mrs. Legine added. Sven watched the expressions around the table change to concern. “It kept draining her energy and prevented her healing.”

“So why couldn’t Gus sense the connection?” John wanted to know. As the former unit leader and Alpha of the group, he had to keep up with his people’s abilities and weaknesses. The fact that Gus had missed something so big was important to understand.

“I discussed this with him as soon as I left the clinic,” Mrs. L told the group. “To me, the evidence suggests he couldn’t see it because he’s male.” John frowned, and the others seemed equally stymied by the news as Drew’s mom continued. “I learned a bit about the creature when I saw the way it was connected to Sirena.” She paused, looking at each face gathered around the table. “I’m sorry to say, the leviathan is female. Which means…it can reproduce.”

“Is that where all the smaller creatures came from?” John asked shrewdly.

“No. Not those. They seem to have come through from some distant realm with their leader, and will go back with it if we can banish it once again. Neither the leviathan, nor its smaller companions, belong in this realm. The thing is—if the creature gives birth here, in our realm, then the offspring will have a permanent connection with our oceans that can never be fully broken. If it gives birth before we can banish it, we’re in even worse trouble than we are now.”

The mer at the table looked almost distraught. It was Sirena who spoke first. “Does Nansee know?”

“I spoke to her privately just before I came here,” Mrs. Legine replied, speaking directly to Sirena. “I thought she needed to know first, since it’s your people who will be in the most danger if the worst happens.”

Sirena nodded respectfully at the priestess, and Sven couldn’t fault Mrs. L’s logic. The mer were screwed if the leviathan unleashed its offspring on the world’s oceans.

“The energy the creature used to keep its hooks in Sirena was female in nature, which is why your male shaman missed it. Not his fault. He just isn’t equipped to visualize something so opposite to his nature,” Drew’s mother said, with a philosophical shrug. “Now that we’re aware of the problem, I think, more than ever, that this new town needs a priestess—or a contingent of them—living here permanently. This town has only been in existence a short time and already you’ve garnered attention from Others, not all of whom are friendly. In fact, I’d say there’s
