"You aren't looking too good..." I tell Hosuh. He's been sleeping a lot in the few days I've been caring for him, only eating seaweed salad and not eating the fish I've gotten for him.

"I don't feel so good either." Hosuh mutters holding his stomach.

"Once high tide comes I'll take you to shore. I'll get you directions to someone who can help." I sigh running a hand through my hair.

"Please...." he mutters hugging himself tighter.

I nod and swim out of the cave to a lower one to grab a bag. I put all my food reserves in there along with some pearls for trading.

And soon I'm dragging Hosuh to shore. He hits the surface and starts coughing up al the water he's been breathing for the past week or so.

"So you'll go into the forest for about twenty and then turn left at the oak and then it's fourty one until there's a giant tree and help is in there." I explain.

"What? All these trees look the same?" Hosuh coughs holding his stomach and pushing his soaking hair back.

"Fine I'll come with.... you incompetent pretty boy..." I mutter backing up into the water.

"What? Where are you going?" He panics.

"I'm getting clothes. Honestly... I'm not going on land naked. I don't look AS beautiful out of the water." I roll my eyes and swim to cave that is half underwater, one I'm quite familiar with.

I pull my entire 16 foot long self out of the water and let myself dry out, pain coursing through my body as my tail turns into legs. A process I never thought I'd ever go through again but, I'm not letting that angel die in my care.

I feel my bones rearranging inside my body and my skin splitting in half creating a shorter and more human form. I watch as my grayish skin turn paler and more of a peachy tone. My hair grows out a few inches, falling into my eyes as the pain fades.

I grab a rock on the wall and pull myself to my feet shakily. I get lightheaded as I stand, I'm not used to being in a vertical stance.

I make my way to a small nook and grab the clothes in there, pulling them on almost falling over in the process.

"Stupid legs.... work... we're walking the same path as last time don't make me fall..." I mutter fixing myself in the broken mirror I have in this cave and making my way back to Hosuh to lead him to help.
