(Grimsby's Intro)
We can only sense that in the deep and turbulent recesses of the sea are hidden mysteries far greater than any we have solved ~ R. Carson.
(Grimsby's Pov) * Sun Slowly Rising*
Guards were exiting and entering the Castle like clock work since me, the survivors of the crew and Max made port on a beach shoreline near the Castle a couple hours ago, and I was getting nervous.
'Come on N/n, Eric; Where are you'?
I watched as the next round of guards grabbed torches and the previous platoon put their burnt-out sticks in a water barrel as they came in to get new ones.
As I looked out to the view I have of the oceans horizon from where I am on the balcony overlooking the open courtyard, I can't help but grow even more worried.
Not wanting to think the worst, and possibly, only reason that Prince Eric and my god-daughter haven't been found yet.
'Please be okay you two'.
The sound of paws meeting the stone floor and dog tags clicking together brought me out of my head space and had me turning to look at the space of floor on my right.
Max was now sitting beside me, panting, then whimpering and looking up at me when he caught his breath.
I strained a smile and bent down at the knee to pet the loveable shaggy-haired sheepdog on the head.
Speaking softly as my finger tips lightly scratched behind Max's left ear.
"Don't worry Max, we'll find Eric and he & Y/n will be okay".
'Y/n is a champion long distance swimmer, she has the fastest stroke when propelling through water, capable of holding her breath for however many minutes necessary, and can dive the same distances; If anyone could swim into the belly of a tropical storm and make it out alive with a surviving shipwreck sailor/prince, it's her'.
Max whined and then moved away from my touch, getting closer to the barrier/balcony wall and laying down against it.
I sighed to myself as I looked at Max.
'I know Max, I'm worried about them too'.
Head Castle guard: "Commodore Grimsby".
I stood at attention and turned to face/address Marcella, Head Castle guard to the Tirtulia Royal family and Queen Selina's go to when keeping Eric on lockdown.
I approached and said, calm as can be while voicing the seriousness and urgency of the matter.
"Have they found anything"?
Marcella shook her head and said, standing straighter.
The worry and doubt in her eyes betrayed the calm composure she was trying to maintain.
"No one matching Eric's description, or the woman you described as Y/n L/n, have showed up at any of the local clinics or neighboring villages around the time they should have arrived back after swimming back to shore.
Give or take a couple hours if we take into account that they would be dog tired from swimming through a raging sea.
(I rubbed my eyes as I turned around, and then Marcella spoke with a voice that told me to listen but remain calm.)
But while we searched the clinics for Eric and Y/n, we came across a villager that lead us to her house, he was apparently heading there to deliver packages from the mail she asked him to pick up for her".
I stopped rubbing my eyes and my heart began beating wildly in my chest while aching with worry.
'What? Y/n lives in Tirulia'.
Marcella then had a grim look as she said.
"The door was left open and no one was inside when we arrived, there were a couple dishes left on the dining table and it looked like someone was resting on the couch.
(Another guard approached us, carrying articles of clothing I immediately recognized as what Eric was wearing before being tossed into the sea.
Relief was flooding my system and Marcella then placed a hand on my shoulder, giving it a comforting squeeze as the guard walked away, probably to Collette so she could mend Eric's old uniform.)
We can be sure they were there at one point, but we also found partial tracks leading away from the property, but lost them as soon as they hit the road.
(I took a deep breath and Marcella then said softly, after checking to see no one was close by.)
We'll find them Grimsby".
