Liam gasped as he felt his body heat up as he felt himself get younger and younger. His muscles seemed to get smaller and smaller however he felt himself get more energetic. Liam winced at the pain but knew he had to pull through for his friend. Liam tried his best to clutch his wand as hard as he could and let the spell finish until a white flash suddenly covered his vision.
Prince Oliver woke in a gasp as he rose up, his eyes now full of life again. He looked down and patted his fish tail, awed that there were no longer any bite marks that scarred his body. He looked at his arms to see that they were intact as well. Prince Oliver couldn’t believe it, he was alive again!
Oliver's tailfins flapped in excitement as the prince was delighted to feel his merman body again. Prince Oliver turned to see who had revived him and his eyes widened at what he saw.

Prince Oliver was shocked. He gave up his legs just for a chance to meet Princess Scarlett again, and now she has already found someone else. Oliver wanted more answers, but he looked at see that a wand was next to Liam’s body. It didn’t take long until Oliver put the two-and-two together and realized that Liam had paid a serious price to bring back Oliver to life.
Oliver remembered the day he met Liam when they were little kids, and the Liam in front of him now looked as if he had never aged since the first time they had met.
"Hey, hey hey." Oliver said as he gave the little Liam a hug "it's OK. We are going to be fine, alright?"
Liam managed to calm down, and something in Oliver's mind said that he looked kind of cute.
"What do we do now?" Liam said
