All Chapters of Merturned : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 30 A Turn For The Worse As Tritan entered the healing cove alongside Finrir, he could immediately sense the heaviness in the air. The door to the chamber where Finrir's pod was located bore a distinct red luminous circle, a clear sign that something was amiss. Queen Eria and Healer Sasha were engaged in a somber conversation, their expressions filled with concern. Tritan and Finrir caught the tail end of their exchange. "I'm sorry, my Queen," Healer Sasha spoke, her expression tinged with sorrow. "I understand she is your sister, but for your own safety, I cannot let you in there anymore. The infection should be improving by now, but it's not. None of the usual treatments have worked. The only thing we have achieved is containing its spread through regular cleaning, but we had to quarantine them." Queen Eria's fury was evident, but she continued to plead desperately, "Is there nothing you can do? With all the medicine and knowledge at your disposal, surely there mus

Chapter 32: Finrir The Bard pt 1Tritan carefully guided Finrir towards the cage, allowing Joe and Bryan to observe the unique appearance of Finrir's two tone tail. Finrir's front was adorned in a pristine white shade, beautifully contrasting with the fan-like pattern of black along the back of his tail, reminiscent of the majestic orcas that roamed the ocean. Even his dorsal fin bore a stri resemblance to that of an orca, exuding power and grace. As Finrir took in the design of the prison, his keen eyes scanned the surroundings, absorbing every detail. He turned to Tritan and signed, "Your prison system also seems kinder than ours," his tone tinged with curiosity and intrigue. Tritan nodded in acknowledgment before diverting Finrir's attention to the mermen within the confines of the cage. Tritan introduced Finrir to Joe and Bryan, his expression filled with pride and familiarity. "This is Finrir, he is my cousin. You might have heard about his pod from Nerissa," Tritan signed,

Chapter 34 Idea For A Cure.In the dimly lit cell, Joe and Bryan sat side by side, their minds consumed with finding a solution for the afflicted pod. Their signs filled the confined space as they discussed possible cures, their former human knowledge and Bryan's background as a marine biologist guiding their conversation.Joe leaned forward, his brows furrowed in concentration. "Bryan, we need to think outside the box. We can't rely on human medicine here. We have to consider options that are available to us in the ocean."Bryan nodded, his eyes scanning their surroundings as if searching for inspiration. "You're right, Joe. We have a vast ocean at our disposal, and we need to tap into its resources. Let's brainstorm. What are some potential remedies we could explore?"Joe rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well, I remember reading about the healing properties of certain sea creatures. Some produce substances that have antibacteri

Chapter 36 Naida Pushes Past TraumaThe next morning, Naida gracefully swims towards the grand palace, her heart filled with anticipation. As she approaches, she is confronted by the guards, their tridents forming a barrier in her path. Naida comes to a graceful stop, her hands swiftly moving in Aquasign.She signs, "I'm friends with the princesses, Princess Nerissa and Princess Madissa. I would like to visit them, please."The guards exchange glances, silently communicating with each other. Then, one of them opens the palace door and signals to someone inside. Moments later, a mermaid with a deep teal tail emerges from the doorway. She signs to Naida with a welcoming smile."Princess Madissa is currently away, but Princess Nerissa is here. Follow me, and I'll bring her to you," the mermaid signs.Naida nods gratefully and follows the mermaid, her eyes widening in awe as they swim through the corridors adorned with intricate coral fixtures on the walls. The palace emanates an aura of r

Chapter 38 Can You Get A Map?On the training grounds, Tritan and Finrir engage in a challenging sparring session, their swords slicing through the water with precision. Finrir, determined to teach Tritan the art of swordplay underwater, guides him through the intricate movements. However, their training is interrupted as Nerissa clicks and waves to catch their attention.Finrir immediately senses the urgency in Nerissa's expression and grants Tritan a break from their spar. Tritan, concerned, signs to his sister, "What's wrong, Nerissa?"Nerissa's determination shines through as she presses her lips together and signs with conviction, "I think I have a plan, but it may take some time. First, I need a map of Aqualearia, and I need you to bring it to our lunch meeting. Madissa and Naida will be there too. I'll explain everything then. Can you get a map?"Tritan nods resolutely and signs, "Of course, I can. Finrir will be there too." Nerissa beams with joy, knowing Tritan's unwavering s
