Chapter 3

For the love of the Princess!

Sartin grabbed his spear and dove into the water in pursuit of Wickizer. Transparent membranes automatically covered his eyes so he could see underwater as clearly as he could above the surface. Wickizer headed toward the rest of the pod at Home Cove. Despite Wickizer’s speed and strength, the shark quickly closed the gap between them.

“Wickizer!” Sartin called. “You are leading it to the pod! Change course!”

Wickizer might be confident, almost conceited around the pod, but out on the open water, his fear clouded his judgment. Sartin repeated the distress signal again, hoping someone at Home Cove would hearhim.
