The busy waves grabbed at her legs, soaking the hem of her shorts. Coral and Sealily waved, then dove beneath the surface. Seconds later they appeared closer to shore. The waves picked them up and carried them along. “You came back!” Lindy cried when they reached her. “Hi, Finneus,” she added when the sea horse popped into view. Finneus chirped and bumped at her leg with his head. Lindy smiled and patted him. Sealily laughed. It sounded like water trickling over bells. “We came to thank you again, Lindy the hero.” “Yes.” Coral glanced around nervously. “But we can’t stay long. It’s not safe for us to be so close to the Drylands.” “I still can’t believe you guys are real.” Lindy stared at the mermaids’ graceful, shimmering tails. “I didn’t believe there were really mermaids.” “We weren’t sure what Drylanders would be like,” Coral said. “We never know whether to believe the stories Pelagos tells us.” An extra-rough wave rushed past, shoving at Lindy’s legs so fiercely that it almost knocked her down.
