Ceratus had been cooking happily in the kitchens when word came around, as it always did, that a mermaid...or merman per say had been sighted by the children.
He thought this odd, seeing as though the normally kept to themselves. Though...as more and more kids started talking about it, He thought At least it will give me something to do.
So giving his friends a small wave he stepped back, snapped his fingers, and disappeared.
He appeared on the bank to see students standing near the water and was about to go ask them what was going on before he saw the merman. He was slightly surprised, not because it was a merman, he lived in the castle. Of course he knew there were merpeople in the lake and had even seen some. but not this close to shore.
So, he just stood there wondering what to do.
