6 Part 6

It's dark. The two return to the sea and to their ship to rest. However, Conch returns to the pearl room. The pearl starts to glow, dimly lighting the room. The mermaid, Zui, was lying comfortably where he left her. Her lovely pearl and gold fin swaying slowly sweeping the floor. Her pain wasn't as visible in the dim room.

Conch knew there'd be a lot of trouble if she stayed too long. He was conflicted; he doesn't want to send her out right after healing her when she's lost, but he can't have her become Corals next meal. Both would sit on his better judgment for the rest of his life.

The pearl begins to pulse as if to call his attention. When he looks a large bubble reveals a map of atlas from his location. It wasn't that far a swim, but the trip he knew was swarming with sharks. Unless she stayed near the ocean floor.

Conch-

You have answers to a lot, don't you? What about where she's from. The Chinese golf.

The bubble grows larger and shows a safe route from the ship to the china waters.

Conch-

Yikes. That is far. Let's get rid of these marks and scratches for now.

The bubble pops and a pink cloud fills the room and quickly dissipates. Zui's wounds are healed.

Conch-

Nice.

Conch smiles brightly. The pearl puffs a pink heart shaped cloud. Conch leaves the room. The pearl dims its light and closes up for the night.
