@pyrepledge swam through the shipwreck
âIggy...â The little boy looked up at his friend. He was so tired. The cecaelia of Tenebrae had healed him for the most part but his tail still couldnât move well enough to swim. He was trying but it hurt so much and the energy needed to move even an inch exhausted him.
He knew what the kingdomâs council was thinking and he had heard it once or twice. Unable to swim as he was, the prince was a liability to the people. If he didnât recover he would be unfit to rule. A king had to be strong.
âIâm never gonna get better, am I?â He wrapped his arms around his friendâs neck a little tighter. âI donât want you to have to carry me forever. You canât defend yourself like this.â
