Carter turned his head towards Herla’s voice then looked back to Arria, “I bet he’s worried that we disappeared from the cave,” Carter said quietly with a small chuckle.

“Yeah, maybe.” Aria muttered, still looking towards where Herla was now swimming fast towards them. He looked worried, which made Arria’s stomach churn.
“There you are. You two need to get out of the seas. Now.” He said, panting.

(Pssst
Um, hi. I’m back. How have things been lately?
Also, I’d love to continue or reboot this if you wanted to maybe?)

(Ahhh! Rvan! Hey I’m so glad you’re back I’ve missed you! I’ve been good and I hope you have been too :)
I’d love to continue this! I missed these two gay boi’s)

(Alrightio (I love this rp so much))
Carter furrowed his brow. His heartbeat increased as he swayed closer to Arria, “What’s going on?” Please no more… please no more pain. Carter just wished he could live happily ever with Arria, but apparently Fate had different plans.

(Me too)
Arria frowned, the worry from earlier turning into a storm. Herla pointed behind him, "It's the bastard prince again. Turns out that memory potion didn't work as well as we thought it would, he's sent out a search to find you both… and me, Gallion and Mulir…"

“What?” Carter couldn’t be hearing this right. He bit his lip, looking at Arria with a face full of worry. “Alright, alright, we can handle this, let’s just- we need to-“ Gosh they need to get out fast, “Let’s go, we can find somewhere to hide out on land, the prince will give up his search eventually.” He glanced at Herla, “We need some potions first.”

"I don't have any one me. Yuri already has the other two and-" There were loud shouts heard from the way that Herla had come, immediately making Arria panic.
"There's no time for that! We've just got to swim and hope we lose them until we can actually get a potion." Arria said, already looking behind them and getting ready to swim.

Carter glanced down at his tail but kept his mouth shut about it. “Okay,” He nodded, “Just… That merman will do worse things to you than he’ll do to me, so please don’t get caught,” Carter told him, almost a plea. A plea that if worse came to worse, Arria would save himself no matter what happened. Hopefully it won’t come down to that. Carter thought as he began to swim.

Arris bit his lip and didn't respond, he just took Carter's hand and stated swimming himself. If he got caught he wouldn't care as long as Carter was safe. Hell, he'd give himself up if it meant Carter was safe from Yuri then he'd do it. The shouts slowly started to become louder, making the merman swim faster.

Carter looked over his shoulder at the growing sounds of shouting, “Gosh we’re in such a mess,” He mumbled as he tried to pick up his pace. He’d make sure Arria got out, he needed to. Carter wasn’t sure if he could even pull off another daring knight-in-shining-armor rescue again. He didn’t even want to have to take that chance.

Arria tightened his grip on Carter's hand, to not only make sure he kept up but to make sure he was still there. They'd get out of this, they had too. But as they rounded a corner another set of guards rounded the other end, heading straight for them.

“Heck,” Carter froze, “Nononono,” His head whipped around to search for some way of escape, but his eyes just couldn’t seem to focus. One thing was on his mind: Get Arria out.

Behind them, Herla was already been restrained, trying to get away. Arria panicked but then suddenly started swimming up, taking Carter with him. Before they could reach the surface, though, Arria was pulled back down, hand slipping from Carter's grasp.

“No,” Carter didn’t waste a heartbeat turning right back around and diving back to get Arria. He didn’t care if he got caught. He shot himself downwards, as fast as he could with his tail, trying to aim himself for the guards. A distraction, anything that might make the guards preoccupied long enough for Arria to get away.

"Carter don't!" Arria cried out. He would not get Carter into anymore trouble because of him. This was all his fault, anyway, it didn't matter what happened to him. He struggled against the merman holding him, only to be restrained even more. Some of the guards headed straight for Carter, trying to restrain him.

Carter whipped his tail around, not caring about the pain the was created when it struck the guards. He attempted to swing a few punches, flailing around. Please just let go of Arria, focus on me, please, let him run… Carter prayed as he wriggled in the guards’ grips.

Unfortunately for Carter, they didn't let Arria go and his attempts to get away just made more spare guards come to wrestle him. Arria struggled even more in the guards grasp, trying to get to Carter, trying to help in anyway he could.

Crap. Carter still struggled, but he knew it was no use. Idiot. He was such an idiot. If he would’ve escaped, at least he would’ve had a chance at coming back stronger and helping Arria. But now… Carter pushed himself up, just to get a glimpse of the love of his life. He sealed Arria’s face in his memory, because if he was being honest with himself… A sick feeling settled in his stomach as his energy was snapped away as he wrestled the guards until he was so restrained he could barely move.

Arria let out a very small whimper at the state of Carter and how restrained her was. All my fault, this is all my fault. The three restrained mermen were taken back towards the city, the guards not even caring how tight their grips were on them and Arria was sure they would have bruises. Even when they were inside the castle, the guards didn't let go of them.

Carter let himself go slack. What was the point? He glanced at the guards faces. They wouldn’t dare let go of them. Whatever was going to happen… He had no control over it. And Carter hated it. He hated that this time he might not be able to save Arria. If he really couldn’t save Arria… he wouldn’t even bother trying to save himself.

They were dragged into the main part of the castle, Yuri sitting on his throne looking as smug as ever. None of the guards let go of the three of them, but they did loosen their grips just a little, "Ah, welcome back, Carter, Arria, Herla. Have a nice time away?" He swam towards them, stopping in front of Carter, "Looks like your little potion didn't work as well as you thought."

Sh-t. Just sh-t. “What are you going to do to us?” Carter bit out angrily, clenching his fists tightly. He needed to get Arria out. That’s all he needed to do. One single task, yet it was an impossible task.
