[@Silen Syanka]
Liandrich was trashing in his short, unconscious sleep. Memories of him drowning, both now and when he was 5 flashed before his eyes over and over again. His mind believed this lungs filled up with water again and again. Like a never ending torture. Eventually the embrace of sleep released him. His eyes opened up wide, but he only saw bare rock above him. His clothes were still wet from the water. Someone must have saved him. Slowly he sat up right, and he praised the Gods that he still had his sword. It was then that he also heard something sleeping.

He looked to his side and saw Thalassa, curled up. For a second, he reveled in her beauty. With her exotic hair and bright pink tail. With hair like the dawn. He had seen so many girls. But none looked as beautiful as this mermaid. But then it struck Liandrich. She was a mermaid! An enemy! Beautiful or not, he was a human prince. He had the duty to fight the enemies of mankind.

Slowly he pulled his sword free from the scabbard. Hoping he didn't wake the girl up. He approached her, with his blade pointed at her. Though he had no idea what he should do. Wake her? Slay her immediately? Wait until she wakes? She did save him. Or didn't she? It was difficult to know. A quick glance around the cave showed that it was probably underwater. Eventually he crouched next to her. He tugged a little on her bare shoulder, but kept the blade as close as possible to her face. If she would open her eyes, the very first thing she'd see is the silvery steel blade pointing straight at her. With a half-confused Liandrich next to it.
