Chapter 208 - Chapter 208 Mermaid On Board

As Thomas, Savo, Mira, and Ocis all sat there still fishing Thomas glanced at Savo and asked "How much longer are we gonna fish?" Savo glanced at Thomas and said "Just a little bit longer, I only managed to catch one." Ocis nodded and said "It was very scrawny to." Mira stared at Thomas and said "However you caught many large ones." As Thomas felt another tug on the line he sighed and said "I'm quoting after this." Thomas began to pull the line in as he said "Fishing was fun for a while but after a few hours it gets boring." Once he yanked it out of the water and onto the deck he began to stretch and said "Well I'm gonna call it a day." Savo glanced at what he had caught and shouted "What the hell did you catch?" Thomas glanced at it and said "It's a fish isn't it?" Ocis stared at it and said "Actually it looks only part fish." Savo pointed to it and shouted "You caught a mermaid, don't tell me you don't know what it is?" Thomas stared at the mermaid and glanced at its tail as he said "It's still a fish though, right?" Savo stared at Thomas and shouted "That's not a fish the top half is technically human." The mermaid stared at Thomas and asked "What are you going to do with me?" Thomas walked past her and said "I don't really care but I said I was gonna call it a day and I plan to." The mermaid grabbed onto his leg and said "Please before you go return me to the ocean." Thomas glanced at her and said "Alright then." As he picked her up Savo blocked him and shouted "What are you doing don't throw her back just yet." Thomas sighed and said "Two different options and I still don't care which one we do." Thomas lowered the mermaid to the ground and asked "Why shouldn't we throw her back yet?" Savo pointed to her and asked "Aren't you the least bit curious?" Thomas glanced at the mermaid and said "Not really." She stared at him and asked "Do you really not care?" Thomas scratched the back of his head and said "I'm not the most sentimental guy so I'll skip ahead and just say sorry." Savo pointed to her and asked "Why did you get caught." The mermaid glanced at Thomas without saying a word. Mira stared at Thomas and said "I think she means because you caught her." Thomas shrugged and said "Not like I meant to." The mermaid pointed to Savo and asked "Why are you so interested in me?" Savo smiled and said "To be frank I'm interested in you." The mermaid turned back to Thomas and said "You must toss me back before my mermaids charm effects you too." Ocis stared at her and asked "What charm?" The mermaid pointed to Savo and said "It's clearly already effected him." Savo shook his head and shouted "No I'm interested in your species, and I'm pretty sure mermaids don't have whatever charm your speaking of." Mira nodded and said "He's right a mermaid shouldn't be able to seduce someone's mind just by being looked at." The mermaid glanced at Thomas and shouted "Quickly toss me back." As she stared at Thomas she seen him laying down against the railing asleep. Ocis smiled and walked away as she said "I'll be back in a moment." The mermaid glanced at Mira and asked "Why won't you release me?" Mira shrugged and said "Don't bother asking me." Savo walked towards her and said "Mermaids should hold some sort of secret to breathing in the ocean right?" As Ocis came back with a blanket she tossed it over Thomas and sat down beside him. Mira glanced at them and asked "What are you doing?" The mermaid nodded and said "Yes there is a way to breathe under the water however it is no secret." Savo poked her and asked "How do you do it?" The mermaid slapped his hand away and shouted "As if I'd tell you." The mermaid began to crawl towards Ocis and Thomas as she said "Please toss me back into the ocean." As a wave hit the boat the mermaid slid towards Thomas and Ocis as she shouted "Watch out!" Thomas slowly opened his eyes and seen the mermaid kissing him. The mermaid pushed herself off of him and held her mouth as she mumbled "How could I have done something like that." Thomas stared at her and asked "What happened?" Ocis stared at Thomas and shouted "No fair I want a kiss too?" Thomas glanced at her and asked "What?" Thomas glanced at the mermaid and asked "What happened?" The mermaid glanced at him and said "I accidentally gave you the ability to breathe underwater, now I won't be able to give it to my mate." Thomas put two finger to his mouth and asked "Is that what that was?" The mermaid stared at him and shouted "You've ruined my only chance of love!" Thomas stood up and mumbled "Dammit I wanted to go to sleep but now I have to solve this some how." Thomas stared at the mermaid and asked "How do you transfer the ability?" The mermaid pointed at him and said "A mermaids first kiss is incredibly valuable, it will decide there mate for life and I just wasted it on you." Thomas walked towards her and asked "Is there anyway to undo it?" The mermaid turned away and said "No it can't be undone." Savo walked over to her and asked "Is that why so many sailors search for mermaids?" The mermaid nodded and said "Many mermaids fall prey to the sweet words of humans." Thomas leaned over the side of the boat and sighed as he said "I don't know if this will make up for anything but I should be able to bring you to another world and create an ocean, I should also be able to fill it with some fish and then the natural cycles can take it from there." The mermaid stared at him and said "You've ruined my one chance at kids what more can you possibly do?" Thomas opened a mana door and said "Bring both her and the fish we caught through." As they entered Thomas held up his hand and mumbled "This gonna be exhausting as hell." As the land shifted water began to fill a giant crevice that stretched out far beyond what the eye could see. Thomas glanced at the mermaid while breathing heavily as he said "I didn't mean to ruin that chance for you, however I can come and visit you quite often if you choose to stay in this place." The mermaid put her hand in the water and asked "How did you create this?" Thomas fell backwards and stared off into the sky as he said "Forget about that right now and answer me." The mermaid turned back to the ocean and asked "If I stay here will you give me children?" Thomas stared at some clouds and said "I don't think can I create life yet but when I can I'll give it a shot." Mira leaned over to Ocis and asked "Do you think he means create life like the he created the ocean or create life as in reproducing?" The mermaid crawled into the ocean as she said "I will stay here with you but I do want children." As she poked her head back up Savo dumped the fish in and asked "What should we call you?" The mermaid stared at him for a moment and said "I suppose you can call me Rita." Savo nodded and said "Rita, can you answer me one last question?" Rita nodded and said "Sure." Savo pointed to her and asked "Is the myth about mermaids tails becoming human legs true?" Rita shook her head and said "Unfortunately no, that's another reason why our first kiss is so precious." Thomas sat up and said "Actually that gives me another idea." Thomas held his hand up to Rita and said "Climb up on land real quick." As she hopped up onto the land Thomas transformed her tail into human legs and said "There now you can walk." Rita stared at her legs and asked "How is this possible?" Thomas stood up and said "It only works here, but as long as your on land you'll have human legs now." Thomas held up his hand and created a mana door as he said "There should be two others here, I'll be stopping by every now and then with some other people, I'll be sure to visit you to so don't worry about me not coming back." As the others walked through Rita attempted to walk towards him and said "Your powers are truest amazing." As she fell Thomas caught her and said "Take baby steps for now, you'll get used to it eventually." As he walked through the mana door Rita smiled and said "I found a very powerful and reliable mate."
