Georgina brought Sage back to where she had found him and placed him on a long flat rock that was long enough for him to stretch out on that was about an inch above the water, and she jumped up onto another rock that was next to the one she put Sage on that was about three to five inches higher and looked up at the sound of someone called Sage's name.

"I see them but they don't see us, I can fix that." Georgina muttered softly before she whistled her twin's name, she was the only one who could do so; making them look towards the river and spotted them.

"Hey is that Sage?" Ryo asked as they looked and saw a mermaid as she felt Sage's forehead and shook her head.

"Something is not right." Rowen said as Cye stripped and jumped into the water and swam over to the rocks.

"What's wrong with him?" Cye asked the mermaid when he reached them.

"I found him here along the bank and I brought him somewhere to heal his wounds, but he has a fever that I can't take care of where I had been. He can only get better up here." Georgina said.

"Oh." Cye said as he checked and agreed with the mermaid, Sage did have a fever.

"Who had he fought with?" Georgina asked making Cye look up at her, after checking Sage.

"He fought with a pirate named Talpa." Cye said as he watched the mermaid jerk back in shock as a look of horror crossed her face, making him comfused, why would a mermaid be afraid of Talpa?

"He is an evil man that deserves to die." Georgina said her horror clear.

"I agree with you on that, thanks for taking care of him." Cye said as he pulled Sage into the water.

"You're welcome." She said with a soft smile as Cye swam back to the others who pulled Sage out before Cye climbed out as well.

"I love you, Rico!" they heard the mermaid call out as they turned to leave, with Kento carrying Sage, making them stop.

"Ginka?" Rowen asked as they looked back at the mermaid, as Ryo, Cye, and Kento wondered what was going on.

"Good-bye Rota." Georgina said with a smile before she dove into the water leaving a shocked pirate captain behind.

"Oh Georgy..." Rowen whispered as tears sprung into his eyes as Ryo walked up to him.

"That was your twin sister?" Ryo asked.

"Yeah, that was her." Rowen replied, he couldn't believe it, he had found his sister but she had been turned into a mermaid.

"We better get back to the ship, Sage is burning up." Cye said as Rowen nodded and they walked back to the ship and set sail.

"Someone looks happy." Kayura said as Georgina returned.

"That's because he knows." Georgina said with a smile.

"Wait, who knows?" Kayura asked not quiet understanding it.

"He was there, I whistled his name and when they turned to leave I said 'I love you Rico' and then I said 'good-bye Rota' when he looked back at me." Georgina said excitedly as Kayura finally understood why her friend was so happy.

"Oh I see, that's good." Kayura said smiling at her friend's joy.

"Wha? I'm... I'm in... Rowen's cabin?" Sage asked himself as he looked around before he got up and walked over to the mirror and saw that the wound on his stomach had healed and all that was left was a scar.

Then Sage remembered the mermaid that came to him and told him that she could help him and it looked like she did. The question remained though, how did he get from the river to Rowen's cabin? Sage put his clothes on that were on the table and found a note from Rowen saying to join them on the deck when he was dressed, which he did.

"How are you feeling?" a voice asked as Sage stepped out of the cabin. It had been about four days since the fight with Talpa.

"Better." Sage replied as he looked up at Tim who nodded.

"The others are at the bow." Tim said pointing as Sage nodded and walked towards the front of the ship.

"Sage! You're awake!" Yuli said when he spotted him and jumped up to hug him as Sage caught him as the others turned to look.

"Hey, Yuli." Sage said.

"Sage, how are you feeling?" Rowen asked his friend as he let go of Yuli.

"Better, but I'm a little confused." Sage said.

"When Talpa returned to where we were fighting and they left." Cye started the tale, know why he was confused.

"We went looking for you and then we heard someone whistle and we saw you on a rock with a mermaid." Ryo added.

"Then Cye swam out to you and spoke to the mermaid and then brought you back." Kento said.

"Before we left, we learned who the mermaid was." Ryo said as Sage noticed that so far Rowen hadn't said anything after asking him how he was doing.

"Who was it?" Sage asked.

"It was my sister." Rowen said as he looked Sage in the eye.

"What? How?" Sage asked shocked.

"She called me 'Rico' and then 'Rota'." Rowen said with a small sad smile.

"So Talpa turned her into a mermaid then." Sage stated, making sure that he was hearing his best friend right.

"Yeah, I will find a way to turn her back to normal." Rowen swore, with a look of determination on his face.

"Okay, we will help you do that." Sage said as they decided to attack other ports and ships for three months before they came upon an island.

"The 'Crescent Moon Island'." Said Ivan, one of the older members of the crew.

"The what?" Mia asked as she, Yuli, Ryo, White Blaze, Cye, Kento, Sage, and Rowen stood near the wheel of the ship.

"There is a legend that says many years ago, before any of us were born, a man put his treasure on an island and built six doors, so that no one who was not worthy could get the treasure. He made five keys that would unlock these doors and he gave four of them to his four friends he trusted with his life and he kept the fifth one, which he gave to his oldest son. His four trusted friends did the same and the five keys were pasted down to the oldest son of the next generation." Tim told them the story that he and all the other members of the crew that had sailed under Rowen's father had heard, many times before.

Ryo remembered the icon he had gotten from his father years ago before he became an orphan and he pulled it out from here he kept it, all he knew was that it stood for 'Wildfire' and that it was a key of some sort.

"What's that?" Ivan asked spotting the icon.

"All I know that it is an icon and it stands for 'Wildfire,' my father gave it to me saying that it has been in my family for years." Ryo explained as Cye, Sage, Kento, and Rowen pulled out similar icons.

Sage's icon stood for "Halo", Cye's icon meant "Torrent", Kento's stood for "Hardrock", and Rowen's icon stood for "Strata".

"Did your fathers give them to you?" Tim asked them as they nodded.

"My mother gave it to me since my father died the month before I was born. She said that it was my father's and he wanted me to have it and that it was meant for me." Cye explained.

"Then the five of you are worthy of the treasure on 'Crescent Moon Island'." Tim said as they agreed and dropped anchor, then they all went ashore.
