Ryis swiftly swam away from the shore, navigating through the vast expanse of water towards the solemn gathering held in honor of Lady Leana's funeral. As she approached, she noticed a cluster of people surrounding the burial site. Among them, Ryis spotted familiar faces - Jace, Rhenerya, and Luke - standing together, their expressions a mix of sorrow and exhaustion.

The atmosphere was heavy with grief, evident from the tear-streaked faces of some attendees who couldn't contain their emotions. Others fought against the urge to succumb to sleep, their weariness evident in their drooping eyelids. Determined to get a better view, Ryis gracefully used her tail to propel herself upwards, perching on a nearby rock that provided a vantage point to observe everyone.

From her elevated position, Ryis scanned the crowd, taking note of the presence of the royal family and several unfamiliar faces. However, her attention was immediately drawn to a young girl who seemed to be fixated on her. It was the same girl who had crossed paths with Rhenerya just a few hours ago, their encounter still fresh in her memory.

1. As she gazed into Ryis's eyes, she couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder at what she had just witnessed. In that moment, she reached out and gently tugged on Rheneys's cloak, who was overcome with tears. With a trembling finger, the girl pointed directly at Ryis, and to her surprise, Rheneys saw her to.

After the ceremony had ended and the oesophagus was in the water Rhaenys made her way to the edge of the rock, her family and the two girls, along with the mysterious white-haired man, following closely behind. Ryis, now partially submerged in the water, revealed her head above the surface, her grey tail elegantly swaying beneath. With a subtle nod from Ryis, Rheneys understood their unspoken agreement. She untied her cloak and gently held it in her hands, As Ryis gracefully swam towards the beach, Rheneys and the rest of the group followed suit, their hearts filled with anticipation and excitement

Ryis dragged herself up the beach and started the painful transition. The group watched in horror as she transformed; they had never seen anything like it before.

After she had transformed rhaenys wrapped her baggy cloak around her to cover her up in front of people.

Ryis stood shaking and smiled at the people surrounding her.

"Ryis...it's a pleasure to see you once again" Rhaenys spoke, hugging Ryis.

"It's a pleasure to see you as well princess" Ryis spoke, pulling away from the hug. Rheanys had noticed how human like this had grown to be since she had last seen her

"Ah Ryis let me introduce you to everyone" Rheneys spoke, turning to let you face everyone.

"These are my granddaughters Baela and Rhaena," Rhaenys introduced.

"Hello it's a pleasure to meet you" Ryis spoke shyly.

"And this is daemon, their father" rheneya continued.

"Nice to meet you, Ryis' ' spoke daemon shaking your hand.

"You look familiar, my prince," Ryis spoke boldly.

"Realy from where?" The prince chuckled.

"The crabs told me a story about a white haired man who had a battle" Ryis told.

"Did they?" Daemon spoke shocked.

"Yes" Ryis reassured.

Corlys was about to question why she was here when screams erupted from behind the group.
It was ryis's sisters, they had followed her.

Ryis hissed and ran over to them as did the group. Corlys and Deamon gave their cloacal a and beala gave hers for the 3 to cover themselves.

"Waik aie yœr gatöto" why are you here? Ryis questioned her sisters.

"We follow Ryis," her younger sister said.

"You speak their tongue?" Ryis asked.

"Small" one of the twins said.

The group made their way to the castle where they dressed in satin dresses in colours of the sea.

They made their way to the party of sorts to try and become and look more human. Ryis commanded her sisters not to go anywhere with anyone and to not leave the ceremony.

Ryis wandered aimlessly around, trying different cakes and drinks until she ran into Jace.

"Ryis... please let me apologise.." Jace managed to get out before Ryis walked away.

Ryis made her way to beala and rhenya.

"Hello agin" beala spoke to Ryis.

"Hello..... I wanted to say sorry about your mother... and maybe tell your something that might help" Ryis offered.

"Alright..." rhenya answered.

"Well sirens when we find the things that people are in the...." Ryis struggled to find her words.

"Oesophagus?" Beala answered.

"Yes.. the oesophagus...we take it to our berial place and everyone decorates it with coral and diffrent sea flowers....but we only do it if they are valaryan" Ryis told comfortingly.

"Thank you Ryis... that helped" spoke Beala before rhenerya came over and told her and her sisters to get to bed.

But she could only find Eloria.
