Chapter 0511 I Holding Elva's hand, Ilead us both-dewn I the stairs.
I Asldropped beneath the surface of the water, I instinctively held my breath.
Beside me, Elva hadn't. She looked around, surprised, and then laughed.

In front of us, Jessica and Veronica were having a full on conversation about the nature of underwater breathing magic.
"Why can't werewolves live in the merfolk kingdom, with this kind of magic?" Jessica asked.
"The magic won't last for more than a day, I imagine," Veronica said. As our local magic expert, she would know, though Jessica likely didn't understand that.
I "Not to mention that werewolf bodies aren't meant to live underwater," Julian added.
"That would add complications," Veronica agreed.
I Jessica pouted slightly, somewhat disappointed.
Bridget started walking, ahead of all of us.
I watched them all in awe, still amazed I could hear them as clearly underwater as if they had been standing beside me.
Perhaps that magic hadn't just been to help us breath underwater, but to help us survive there too.
Behind us, Nathan and the camera crew were descending into the water. The cameras were covered in a protective film to keep the salt water from harming the equipment. The crew checked everything over while they were there in the shadows.
Nathan looked over them and all of us. He seemed nervous, likely due to the importance of this event.
The alliance between werewolf and I merfolk was a valuable one. Any faux pas I here might tarnish that closeness.
I / Nathan's eyes landed on me, and I swear I felt him giving me a silent warning. Out of all of us, he must have seen me as the weak link. That seemed unfair, given all that Bridget had done.
Elva tugged at my hand. "Come on, Mommy! I want to see the mermaid palace!" <
