Clark had taken one glance at the mermaid beside Olivia. He knew that she was in her human form and that mermaids had two forms. They were very unique beasts that were considered nearly the same as humans. It was rare for a human to have one and even rarer that they would pledge loyalty to one unless they were a spirit beast.
