The Anti-Fairy Tales The Water Demon Arc Part Six

 Back To Land


For the next day as the ship sailed to the next destination, Pheoshan kept to herself and ensured to distract her from her thoughts. She spent her time helping the maids, yet she did catch glimpses of her friends, who were looking both concerned and distressed. She knew why and wondered desperately how to tell them who she was and what she had been through. She had tried to write everything down,  but then her hand seized up and became painful. The only thing even worse was the fact that she could not cry out for help as she could not access her voice.

"Remember our bargain deer mermaid!"

She looked up at the man who saved her.

"That is Prince Rice."

She took a page and wrote down


What is your name?

"Prince Rice. What is your name?"

"Use a false name."

She rubbed her eyes.

Please don't make me do this!

"Do you want to return to your true form?"


Alex Cinder


He looked down and frowned.

"That's an interesting name."

She shrugged.

"That's not your real name. What is your real name?"

She let out a sigh.

Knew it!

"Think of a clever lie to explain this."

She closed her eyes trying to suppress her anger at this humiliation.


I am sorry. Deeply I am, however

I am not at liberty to say.


"Why is that?"


It had been sealed away along with

my true firm and voice.


He frowned.

"By who?"

She tried to write down the truth but suddenly her had felt like there was fire and needles were digging into every pore! She tried to push on and wright it down, but the pain became completely unbearable that she dropped her quill. She had to clutch it. She could feel the muscles painfully tense up into the shape of a claw. She had to bite on her lip to stop herself from crying out.

What the?

"What? You did not think that I would make it that easy did you?"

Prince Rice looked at the hand and pulled it to him. He then started to gently rub it.

"I see. You can not tell me that either."

She could feel his message loosening up her muscles. It started to dull the pain and it started to go away. Her hand became loose and started to feel lighter. He then loosen the wrists and then did the same to the other hand. She looked at him stunned yet it touched her for him to treat her like this. She had never been treated like this without there being an ulterior motive.

"There, that ought to help."

She smoked and nodded.

"Thank you." She mouthed.

"It is alright. We will be arriving soon. As you have nowhere to stay, I will give you a room at my castle."

She looked down and smiled.

"And there, we will find something to break this spell. Then we will be able to talk."

She nodded and extended her hand. He looked down, surprised, yet he shook it nevertheless. They looked over to the land at the horizon. She smiled wider knowing that she would not have to wait that long. He then placed a necklace around her neck with a cross on. Surely she felt Ursmor's presence leave her.

"Here,  may the sign of the Great Being protect you."

She smiled and nodded. She then followed him and spotted her friends on board. She then wrote something down and gave it to them.


Don't worry, you will find the

one that you have lost. But

she will have to do something

fist before she can return to

you. However she can not say

at the moment.


She then walked back to Prince Rice. There was a determination rising within her that she could not quite understand. She was going to get everything back and she will join her friends again. She was sure of that like she was sure that night would come. She took a moment as she stepped out of the plank of the ship and back on to land.
