“So you were a landperson, but when you came to the sea a few days ago, you turned into a merperson? And you don’t know why?” -Merro
“Yeah, that’s about it.” -Dib
“Huh, you know what? You just reminded me of a story my grandmother used to tell me.” -Merro
“Really?” -Dib
“Yes, Grammy was a Sea Witch, you see. When she was around my age, another Mer came to her asking for a spell to make them a land person.
“Grammy had never tried something like that before, so she agreed to do it. And it worked!
“But someone the other mer knew got angry about it, and laid a curse over them.
“I think it went something like ‘no child born to your blood and the land people will have the freedom of the sea.’ But don’t quote me on it, it’s been a long time since Grammy was around to tell the story.” -Merro
