Chapter 251 - Thank You, Cute Fish Princess
I watched as Missy's tail split into two legs, and the gills on her neck changed slightly, but she didn't seem to have any trouble breathing. When the light cleared, Missy started to swim to me, and she hugged me tightly.
"Thank you, thank you, thank yoo-ho-ho-hoo!" Missy wailed into the watery sphere as I wrapped my arms around her and started the spear forward.
I let her cry, not bothering to ask why; Missy would tell me if she could, but for now, I could just hold her as we went for a drive. Something that I had enjoyed doing when I was back on earth, and this wasn't the same, but it was as close as I could get.
There was a full moon tonight, and it lit the road up, making it easy to see where I was going. Missy slowly calmed, but she still held on to me as we rolled along; I had not been specially planned; it was just lovely to get out.
"How are you able to do what you are doing? Sorry, I don't have to ask questions now, but I am curious about how you can do this," Missy said in a far less ditzy voice, but it was still a cute one.
I explained everything that I had been through, and then she asked me where I had found her. I explained everything that she asked me, but I was surprised that she couldn't remember any of it.
"I can remember bits and parts of it, but it was like I could only understand a small portion of each thing that went on. Now, even when I try to remember, I get memories of the simple questions that I had," Missy explained.
The two of us floated together and rolled down the road that headed to the center of the island.
"Do you have any idea what is with the supernatural force that is around you?" I asked, hoping that I could get a bit of information or anything about it, but I was disappointed.
"I don't know what you are even talking about; what supernatural powers?" Missy asked, and then I explained the special powers that she and Mary both possessed, but Missy sighed at the mention of Mary.
"If there is one thing that I can remember, it was how much Mary hated it when I asked her questions. Now that I think about it, I think I know what you are talking about with the supernatural powers. However, I still don't know anything about them," Missy explained, and I slowed the sphere down to a stop.
Once we halted, I started to head back in the other direction, but I didn't turn us back around; and instead, I wrapped an arm around Missy's shoulder. As I did, I leaned the two of us back so we could look up at the stars.
Missy cuddled in close to me, and I slowly lowered the top of the sphere as it still rolled beneath us. I didn't need to look back because I had my mini-map to guide me, and the path was wide and straight for most of the way.
"Well, I am just glad that you are back to normal, but I am still curious about your power and your past. Do you remember anything about your mother or father? I haven't really asked Mary about them because I just assumed that she wouldn't know. Now that your head is clearing up, I thought that I might ask you," I explained, but Missy didn't know.
"Sorry, I don't have any memories of when I was a child. I have met my other sisters, but that was a really long time ago," Missy explained, but then paused for a moment, then turned her head to ask me, "Why did you do this for me?"
After seeing how messed up her memory was, I had been waiting for the question, and I smiled back at Missy.
"I just like to help out the ones that need it, and you looked like you could use some help. I also wanted to make it so you could spend more time out in the open with the girls. Before you spent most of your time in the pool in your room," I explained, and Missy nodded her head thoughtfully.
"Well, thank you again. I don't know if I have even gotten to enjoy this view like this. Normally I would have to ask a ton of questions about why the stars were even in the sky!" Missy explained.
She cuddled deeper into me as we floated on the surface of the rolling semi-sphere. This was really lovely and relaxing after the long couple of days that I just had.
We were coming up to the bridge to the Keep now, so I turned us back around. Only Spel was standing watch, and Trig was sleeping against the wall and made our way back to the big house beside the damaged stone Keep.
"Don't worry," I said as I stood between the two of us and stuck all the water back into my body to make myself whole again.
I held Missy as we sat down on the ground, just to make sure that she could walk. I had considered carrying her, but that would have defeated the purpose of giving her the two legs.
As I held Missy and she slowly figured out how her legs worked, I looked over to the fire, but it was out, and everything was cleaned up. Looks like the party was over, but It wasn't like anyone had gotten very crazy.
Clesh made some excellent drinks, but we might have to work on something that was a little bit stronger for me. Then, next time we could have more of an adult party, and really get into some trouble!
For now, I would help my little cute fish princess get up the stairs and into bed. Then, I had two women that were waiting for me!
That is, as long as the two of them didn't fall asleep already!
