"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you," Tuvor said softly noticing the terrified looks he was receiving.
"Where is oh I wish Attina had told us his name!" Aquata said.
"You know Attina?" Tuvor asked looking at them.
"Uh yeah, she's our sister," Alana said.
The mermaids moved a little bit so that he could see her.
"She's just like Crenanes," Tuvor breathed.
"Okay hold on there centaur boy, what do you mean by that?" Aquata asked.
"Oh sorry, I mean that she's in the same state as Crenanes is" Tuvor explained, "They have to be near one another so that they can heal,"
"How are we going to do that? We're mermaids remember? We can't walk or be away from the water for a long time or our fins will dry out," Adella informed.
"Not to mention that your kind wants to kill us," Ariel added in a timid voice.
"I promise you all that I won't harm you," Tuvor said with a small smile.
"We will not let our guards down, but we will be friendly," Aquata said sternly.
"How's she doing?" Tuvor asked looking at Attina's face.
"As well as she could be," Adrina said stroking her eldest sister's face gently.
They heard a noise from behind them and turned to see their father emerging from the water as he made his way towards them with Arista and Sebastian in tow.
"Girls, your husbands are looking for you," Triton said as soon as he reached them.
"We can't leave, Attina like this," Arista said looking at her father.
"Arista! What happened?!" Ariel asked looking at her sister's scratched and bloodied arm.
"Maggiore's mate - Narissa attacked me, I'm fine though" Arista reassured them, "Father and the guys helped me,"
"Father, we'll go home as soon as we know Attina's alright," Aquata said her brown eyes pleading with their father.
"Okay, you can stay up here but only until after I change her," Triton said as his trident began to glow.
Triton could hear his daughters gasp in shock and happiness by what he was about to do.
Aiming his trident at Attina, she began to rise into the air, her hair was undone so it would fall freely before her tail morphed into an orange coat.
"Can you get her to her mate?" Triton asked looking at the young centaur after the transformation was complete.
Tuvor nodded as he gently picked her up and briskly walked back to where his clan was.
Triton looked at his remaining daughters as he said, "There's nothing left for us to do,"
One by one each of the six girls descended back into the sea until finally Triton started to go under, but not before looking at his Royal Advisor.
"Sebastian," Triton said softly.
"Yes, your majesty?" Sebastian asked looking up at the King.
"I want you to watch over Attina," Triton said.
"Yes your majesty, I'll let you know as soon as she wakes up" Sebastian promised.
Without another word, Triton disappeared under the sea as Sebastian made his way to the centaur community.
When the crab finally arrived at where the centaurs were, he heard angry voices.
"What is she doing back here Tuvor!" A male demanded.
"We don't need a war upon us right now!" Another voice said.
"We're not going to be in a war, the Sea King was the one who changed her! She needs to be with Crenanes!" Tuvor argued.
"King Mises won't be happy about this when he returns!" A voice spoke up.
"King Mises, will just have to understand, he'd do the same thing if Clyheas was in this position," Tuvor said.
With the mention of their leader's daughter, they slowly parted allowing Tuvor to gently place the former mermaid beside Crenanes.
"Now all we need to do is let them heal together" Tuvor murmured.
Somewhere dark
Attina woke up and looked around, where was she?
'Hello?' Attina called out into the darkness.
'Attina is that you?' a voice asked.
The brunette knew that voice, but it couldn't be... He was on land.
'Crenanes? Is that you?' Attina asked hopefully.
A black coated centaur emerged from the darkness causing Attina to gasp.
Attina ran into his arms and the two embraced.
'But how?' Attina asked looking up into his green eyes before looking at her own body.
'Your father turned you back into a centaurette, he didn't want to lose you,' Crenanes said.
'How do you know that?' Attina questioned.
'I sensed it, I've been waiting for you,' Crenanes explained.
'Are we dead?' Attina asked her eyes growing wide.
The centaur chuckled softly before saying, 'No, our bodies need time to heal and by our bodies being near one another they can,'
'I can't believe my father actually turned me into a centaurette,' Attina squealed happily.
'Now we can be together,' Crenanes smiled taking her hand.
'What about your King? I'm sure that he won't approve of me being here,' Attina said quietly.
'King Mises, cannot tear two mates apart it's forbidden,' the sandy blonde centaur said.
'He has done it to us before, who's to say that he'd do it again?' Attina pointed out.
'I won't let that happen again," Crenanes said.
