"Where's Raphael?" the king immediately asked looking at them.

          "Huh, he said he'll be gone for days. And he was such in a hurry; he did not even tell us where he was going. But he sent us here to inform you he can't come home for some time," the excuse of Julio hoping to find Raffy before the king learned that their friend turned into a flying fish.

          "What happened, answer me. I know Raphael won't leave the palace for days without telling me. What really happened!" the loud question of the king.

          The ten mermen friends of Raffy suddenly turned quiet, looking at each other and waiting for one to start talking to the king.

         "Where's Raphael?" asked the king once more.
