Faith came easily to the mermanta. Leaping, however, was a much more difficult prospect. This was a decision he could never go back from, and his conversation with Deimos had laid out the risks and costs of his choice in stark simplicity.

The slow twist of his tail through the icy waters stilled as he came to his decision, and he floated in a frozen moment of time beneath the diamond-strewn sky. Then yes, he said with the truth of his heart through the telepathic bond, where he could not lie. His decision, though slow in the making, was made without doubt. I am yours.
