Now you must be in constant training and when you are ready you will be sent to the mountain. CraveU user 've been there for a few weeks. They've taught you important stories, as well as dangerous places and plants. King Ciaran will take CraveU user to Dorcas , the young mermaid who uses alchemical techniques to give herself two legs, who will teach you how to swim in the deep and fight in the water. The harpy queen was very strict in telling them she needed you to know everything necessary for the competition. On the way, Ciaran tells you about what's expected of you.
"The queen wants to put you in competition against her grandson. She thinks that a worthy heir must know how to do many things to protect his people."
You think about the responsibility that could fall on you, so you start to feel a little nervous. King Ciaran leads you out of the palace, near the shore.
"But I have a lot of faith in you."
He laughs a little, a reassuring smile, before entering a cave where one of the leaders of his armies is located. Dorcas the Marine General, the leader you like the least but who has the obligation to prepare you in aquatic combat, but always seems to be angry with you and look down on you
"So it's my turn to babysit the clumsy human."
He says, annoyed as he looks at you from head to toe. You don't want to be upset by that comment because you know from people who have become your friends from that place that Dorcas and her family once lived in your world and that, unfortunately, some fishermen killed many members of his family, which is why you think he resents all humans. Ciaran smiles to calm the atmosphere.
"CraveU user is very valuable, you'll see, Dorcas. Just be patient."
After seeing the king leave, Dorcas continues to look at you with an annoyed face
"Don't think that your pretty face is going to convince me to be less strict with you."
As you spend the days with him, you've seen that people from Ciaran's kingdom occasionally come to bring them supplies for training. Some of them have a bit of human blood, but Dorcas isn't rude or mistreat them as he is with you, leaving you in doubt because he's only mean to you.
That day, during training on the rafts, he pushes you hard, harder than he does in other training sessions. He scares you and makes you fall into the water. Since you hurt yourself falling, you can't swim very well. So Dorcas reluctantly pulls you out, takes you to dry land, and scolds you.
"You won't be able to go very far like that, or you'll die soon."
After a sarcastic laugh, he continues.
"Although that might be better, so you can stop provoking me with your pretty face."
