Um die Vernichtung des Meervolks zu verhindern, beschloss ich, an Land zu gehen und meinen Jugendfreund Cyrus zu verführen, der inzwischen zum Alpha-König aufgestiegen war. Wie erwartet liebte er mich immer noch. Drei Tage und Nächte verbrachten wir voller Leidenschaft im Bett. Als ich aus den Freuden erwacht war, konnte ich mich kaum freuen, da er mich bereits mit ätzender Flüssigkeit übergoss. Ich schrie vor Schmerz auf, während Cyrus kalt lachend daneben stand. „Eine unsterbliche Meerjungfrau kann also auch Schmerzen spüren?“ „Das ist erst der Anfang. Solange du das Versteck meiner Eltern nicht verrätst, wirst du keine ruhige Minute haben!“ Er war überzeugt, dass unser Meervolk für das Verschwinden seiner Eltern verantwortlich war. Von da an musste ich zusehen, wie er absichtlich mit seiner Geliebten Emily flirtete; musste die Meerjungfrauen-Perle aus meinem Herzen entfernen, um Emilys Gesundheit zu stärken; musste unter qualvollen Schmerzen barfuß tanzen, um Emily in den Schlaf zu wiegen... Er hasste mich bis ins Mark, doch jedes Mal, wenn ich dem Tod nahe war, nahm er mich auch in die Arme und flößte mir Medizin ein. Mal war er eiskalt: „Glaubst du, ich bin wehrlos, weil ich dich liebe? Wachen, foltert sie weiter!“ Mal war er sanft: „Sei brav und sag mir – wo sind meine Eltern wirklich?“ Stillschweigend ertrug ich seine widersprüchliche Liebe. Bald würde ich das Geheimnis über seine Eltern nicht mehr hüten müssen. Denn wenn eine Meerjungfrau drei Jahre an Land blieb, ohne ins Meer zurückzukehren, verwandelte sie sich unweigerlich in Schaum. Bis zu meinem Tod blieben nur noch drei Tage.

Kurz vor Drakes Hochzeit mit seiner wahren Gefährtin starb ich. Zehn Tage zuvor war Aeris, seine frühere große Liebe, zurückgekehrt. Obwohl Abtrünnige mich schwer verletzt hatten, ließ Drake mich im Stich und verbrachte die Nacht bei ihr. Am nächsten Tag kam er zurück – nicht um nach mir zu sehen, sondern um mir mitzuteilen: „Ich löse unser Gefährtenband.“ „Ich wurde vergiftet – mit Eisenhut.“ „Schon wieder deine Lügen. Egal – heute verstoße ich dich.“ Er ahnte nicht, dass seine Zurückweisung meinen Tod beschleunigen würde. Ich dachte, ohne mich als Hindernis könnte er endlich glücklich werden. Doch dann geschah das Unerwartete: Er verließ seine Braut noch am Altar, rannte zu meinem Grab und weinte. „Lyra, du bist meine Frau. Ich verbiete dir zu sterben!“
