They want my help?

Making coded knocks on the metal walls of her hut, Kenna waited to be let out by the guards that were stationed to wait for her.

Acting on her request, the barrier was temporarily lifted allowing her access to step out.

"Mership needs some rest," she looked back at the hut before she continued. "Could you take me to where the maiden was?"

They had nodded and were about to alert the others stationed at strategic locations spread across her vicinity to lead the way.

Cutting short their destination came rushing in a guard horror-stricken and out of breath.

Furrowing her brows, she looked to the others for an explanation.

"We've lost her!" He informed, crouching and trying to catch his breath.

"How do you lose someone who was cornered by more than 10 of our mermen?!" The chief guard barked, enraged by the news.
