Enkansh and Drevin returned to the clamshell bed with 8 more mermen. From the sheer numbers of worms they'd seen arriving, the mers were just barely enough to drive the worms away to another place.
The mer prince had returned with a heavy heart. He wanted to mourn the death of a new friend but it was imperative that they quickly get the human out of the snake prison he was locked inside.

"The snakes are gone," the siren said as he looked down at the spot where a ball of red had previously been. "And so is the human's body."
