It was the matchmaking tone, the one Numia used when she wanted to secure Corven Junior an elite marriage. After what had happened the last time, Sienna wanted to witness for herself what would happen.
"Stop her," Grandpa Corven shouting, his cane kicking up sand that fell a short distance away.
Sienna held out her hand. "No, grandpa, she should not be stopped. I for one would like to see what happens."
A huge wave of water rose from the sea, forming what looked like a fist. As the mer couple vanished into the water, the fist struck Numia, sending her flying straight into the gate. She crushed her head and rolled back onto the sand.
The guards, Sienna and Grandpa Corven were all stunned. They exchanged looks, smiles, and then loud laughter!
