“The mermaids told me that I had to return home as some
people were looking for me. They handed me a basket and an arrow with a lot of
medicines and instructed me to heal people and return with gifts of money at
the cave as thanksgiving. I was shocked to see people gathered around with my
family present and my body was so powerless. The prophet then burnt the basket
to ashes and I don’t know how to thank him for saving me,” said Claris.
