"Look the air breathers are murmuring again."
The merman moved through the room. Contrary to popular belief they could control the change between legs and fin at anytime. But this was a very well kept secret. He moved over to the table and touched a small number of pads. Several screens were immediately presented floating above it. each with a different conversation playing on it but it was common to the other in one aspect. The same question was being asked and the same answer was always giving.
"Are the gods returning?"
"I can not confirm that but the I have been told........."
The merman moved off from the screens and looked around the room at who had come to this summons. He took account of the fact that his younger brother and the group that he controlled had not shown. He also noted that his sister was with her faction standing back from the rest almost but not quite hidden in the shadows. She nodded at him and he tilted his head so very slightly that she almost did not catch it. He circled around the table touching each member seated there in turn until he was once again back at the head.
"Ladies and Gentlemen if the speculations are true we all know what this means."
The murmurs that ran through the group shocked him just a little and he raised his hand drawing immediate silence.
"Look, we do not want them that much is clear but more importantly the question is what is it that they want after having been gone for so long?"
The silence that followed this question was filled wonderment and thick with thoughts.
Suddenly the doors were thrown open and his brother strolled in.
I know what it is they want and it shall amaze and shock this council, yes even you dear brother.
He moved to stand beside him and he motioned for their sister to come forth also. Once they were standing before the council together he drew a few steps away exchanging hurried whispers with them. The king's demeanor paled and drained away from him. He shook his head several times causing his brother's whispers to become sharper and more annunciated. Finally he raised his hand and his sister placed her's upon it.
She whispered with him for a moment and returned some of his color but he still appeared shaken by his siblings' words. He moved away from her and slowly and approached the table where the council continued to sit but more so in anticipation. For some this was the first time they had ever seen their king so troubled. For others however they knew for him to appear this way he was not troubled but actually angry very angry!
"Ladies and Gentlemen of the council it has been brought to my attention......"
