I watch the water carefully, various monsters swim throughout.

Among mermaids and merrows, scylla and sea-bishops, are a few Mersharks.

I stare out, trying to spt the one who I waved back to while on the ship.

Eventually, one swims far closer than the others.

"Hey, are you the lovely lady who waved to me while I was on the boat?"

She shakes her head, frowning.

"No, that was Maria, I'll go get her for you though!"

She rushes off into the sea, and I take the time to look over my supplies.

A lighter, a spare, a waterproof wristwatch, two pairs of magic pants, a lot of food, especially for a street urchin, and a set of twenty iridescent knitting needles.

Curious, I stab one through a beach crab.

The creature twitches, and a red fluid creeps up the needle and onto my arm, then up my face and into my mouth.

It tastes sweet, and completely unlike blood.

The crab's shell turns black, and it slowly stretches, contorting and growing in unnatural ways, it twitsches and limps for a bit, before exploding outward into the shape of one of those polite frothy ladies I'd often chatted with on the beach before the order showed up.

I immediately began searching for more crabs.

Some forty days later, I was teleported home, an army of black crabs at my command, and my darling Maria by my side on the commander's back.

"CHARGE"

And so the city was taken once more, by the army of the King Crab.
