REVEALING

“Casillus, this is my best friend in the world, Corey Rudman. Corey, this is Casillus Nerion, Prince of the Mers. Casillus is my someone amazing,” Gabriel Braven said as he introduced the two most important men in his life to one another.

Gabriel then collapsed against Casillus’ strong body. He had no strength of his own as his transition from man to merman was well underway and he had just survived a terrible psychic shock. Casillus bore his weight easily, cradling Gabriel against him with aching tenderness. Gabriel clung to the Mer’s half-naked form, which was still dripping wet from the sea.

You are safe, Gabriel. We are together now. It is all right, Casillus murmured through their telepathic bond as he kissed Gabriel’s forehead and temples. Gabriel felt Casillus’ gills flutter against his arms as he held on to the Mer. Casillus continued, Rest and recover, my love. You have escaped him.

The “him” Casillus spoke of was Johnson Tims, a former military man and current professor at the mysterious and secretive Miskatonic University. Johnson had insisted on Gabriel entering a strange ancient temple made of glowing blue stones that he and a group of Miskatonic’s archeology students were investigating at a long-abandoned Native American settlement. This temple was the heart of the settlement where alleged “Gods of the Sea” had come to mate with the humans and worship their terrible deity in the temple’s aquatic-like interior.

Johnson had told Gabriel that he needed to see the temple in order to “understand.” But what the ex-soldier wanted him to understand from the visit was still unclear. What had become certain was that Johnson knew about the existence of the Mers, believed that the Mers were the “Gods of the Sea” referenced in an inscription on the temple’s wall, suspected that the Mers were out to harm humanity, and, finally, was convinced that Gabriel was, in fact, not human, but a Mer, too. Johnson’s insistence on Gabriel’s presence in the temple had bordered on obsession, frightening and disturbing Gabriel and Corey greatly. Johnson’s obsession with Gabriel being at the temple was just part of a greater seeming obsession with Gabriel overall. Gabriel even suspected that Johnson may have actually become romantically involved with his grandmother, Grace, in order to investigate him and the Braven genetic history to see if he had Mer blood.

The thing was, Johnson was right to be suspicious about him. Ancestors on both sides of Gabriel’s family had inherited Mer blood from when the Mers were still mating with humans on the coast. Combined in Gabriel, there had been enough Mer DNA to trigger a transformation from human to merman. Gabriel had avoided undergoing this transition for years longer than normal because he had avoided the sea after his parents’ tragic deaths in a boating accident on the ocean. His parents’ boat had been capsized by a rogue wave and both of them had drowned, though Gabriel himself had seemingly inexplicably survived. He had woken up on the beach after dreaming of a creature miles high with tentacles tenderly transporting him to shore.
