Remus Marvel Novels & Stories

"We have Remus. I've got him in the basement. There are no scratches, as you requested." I didn’t answer. That was the call I had been waiting for. I took the private elevator down, each passing floor ratcheting the heat in my veins higher. When the doors opened, there he was. Slumped in a rusted chair, under a flickering lightbulb, mouth gagged and wrists tied tightly. Remus. He looked twitchy, bewildered, and pitiful, like a rat caught in a trap. His bloodshot eyes caught mine. And I could see confusion in his eyes. That fear that hadn’t registered yet. He didn't understand why he was here.

His mother found herself in the world of the merfolk one day all of a sudden and ended up marrying a merman, thus birthing Ramos. That was why the merfolk emperor had a human form, but his blood was half merfolk. Ramos had been highly gifted and quickly mastered the six main energies of the underwater city. His powers grew immensely as well, but his human form caused him to be mocked endlessly. This filled him with shame and resentment, causing him to wear a mask and refrain from showing his real face to others.
