Crashing through the brush, Anchor Wolfric slammed down into the dirt. Man! Raige had a crazy good arm. Hopping out of the anchor, Wolfric took a quick look around, but she didn’t see any tracks made by Cheeks. Hmph! Well, she’d just have to get a better look from above! Picking up Raige’s anchor and tossing it over her shoulder, Wolfric clambered up a tree and surveyed the surrounding area. Ahh… THERE! She spotted movement in the underbrush.
Nodding to herself, Wolfric leaped down and took off after it, the chain of the anchor trailing behind her as a visual trail to where she had gone. She raced through the woods, getting thwapped in the face a couple times by a tree branch until she saw something that made her pause and scratch her head. She was pretty sure she’d been going in a straight line… so how had she run across the anchor chain? She gave it a little tug, and, yup, it was the chain attached to the anchor. She could feel it.
Wolfric sweated nervously. Ah-ha. Maybe she’d just gotten turned around. She clambered up another tree and surveyed the surrounding area, but she didn’t see any movement like that other time. Uh. Not good. Had they given her the slip? But! Flo! Wolfric continued sweating nervously until she spotted something distinctly mermaid shaped in a clearing not too far away. Haha! Flo must’ve given him the slip.
Hopping down, Wolfric did actually manage to make it to the clearing after a minute or two of running, but…
“Uh… oh…”
Sticking halfway out of the ground was what looked to be a broken-off mermaid figurehead from a ship. There was a loch nearby, so Wolfric wasn’t entirely surprised to see it, but… that meant… Her whole body drooped. Flo… Wolfric had lost her! Now what? They had to save her before… Wolfric shook her head and shuddered at the memory. No, they would save her. But how to find her?
Wolfric put the anchor down and sat on top of the mermaid figurehead to think. Hmm… it seemed like they were only interested in mermaids. So, if they were gonna lure them out, it had to be with bait. Wolfric scratched her head. She didn’t wanna put any more of the mermaids from the cove in danger though… on the off chance that something like this would happen again. She glanced down at the mermaid figurehead, an idea slowly starting to form.
