"Taran?" Creighton asked, a little surprised to see his fellow Dragoon on the strange ship. "What are you doing?"

Having been walking by on the way to his room, Rhonabwy said, "Oh good. The ship finally got to him. I wondered how long it'd take for the Reliance to reach Gaia on the fastest warp."

"You know about the ship?" Creighton asked, turning to look at Rhonabwy.

"Well yeah," Rhonabwy said. "Apparently I started a trend when I salvaged Nerissa Altsoba for the Dynasty, now all the children of Draco are getting their Dragoon's spaceships. Though, the Reliance and the Nerissa Altsoba are the most advanced of the nine. Probably the largest too."

Looking back at the screen, Creighton asked Taran, "So, what's it like having your own ship you aren't sharing with anyone?"

Rhonabwy slapped the back of Creighton's head--affectionately though. The young dragon amused him sometimes.

A Dangerous Task

Receiving mouth to mouth from Triton was not nearly as exciting as Flan had thought--though repeating the process every five minutes without the minor god slipping her more than his breath may have had something to do with it. After twenty minutes, Triton directed the three to a door. "The ones you seek are in here."

< Nissa, stay outside and make sure Triton doesn't--FINALLY--try something, > Flan said as she and n** swam through the opened door and into air.

"MOM!" two voices cried out--followed by a blonde and brown haired blur.

As n** knelt to hug her kids, Flan saw Xink approaching and holding Varden and Varda's hands. < You three alright? >

"Yes," Xink said. "What's going on?"

< Apparently the fish who runs this place kidnapped all of you to grab get Flipper's attention, > Flan replied. < I guess the idiot didn't realize he pissed off Mosquito in the process by taking her kids. Or that Flipper would request help from Mrs. Roboto and I. >

"Yeah, that wasn't smart," Xink said. "So where are the others?"

< Somewhere else in this underwater hellhole, > Flan replied. < Mosquito, are you done smothering your kids? >

"Yes," n** said. At that moment, Nissa's short circuited body was thrown through the prison door and it slammed shut behind her.

< That's just awesome, > Flan said dryly.

Don't Piss off the Mermaid, 5

Though it was a different castle, the setup itself had not changed in centuries or over two planets. Alachia had quickly made her way to Poseidon's chambers and was just swimming outside the door.

Taking a few deep breaths to clear her mind (Alachia HAD been courting Poseidon before she married Rhonabwy and knew to fight Poseidon, she needed a clear head), Alachia kicked open the doors with her fins and boldly swam in. "POSEIDON! SHOW YOURSELF YOU SPAWN OF A GUPPY AND A HOGSUCKER!"

"Insults, Lady Alachia?" Poseidon asked, swimming out of one of the attached rooms. "That was always beneath you."

"Well ducky, a lot has changed," Alachia replied. "I'm no longer the jewelfish or ladyfish you once sought after."

"What would you be now?" Poseidon asked, amused.

Having learned a few tricks from her granddaughter, Dragon; Alachia created a twelve foot ice spear. Keeping her free hand behind her back, Alachia launched the spear at Poseidon. "I'm a VERY pissed off mermaid!"
