Before long the new order was fully established, the former captain becoming Council leader. All Merlions suffering from the sickness had been cured by the open sea, shedding their long coats never to return.
Quickly, too, came time for other changes. Several Merlions, including the Merlion of Singapore and his soon-to-be wife, returned to Singapore to relieve those left on guard and to see how the wounded were.
And there they stayed, a permanent presence to keep pirates away and to begin a new period of interaction between human and Merlion. About this the boy was overjoyed, happy he would spend many more of his days with his Merlion friends. Later he would live by the water and become a fisherman, and the Merlions swam alongside his vessel, always lending a hand.
The Merlion himself began a much happier existence in the waters around Singapore, roaring and splashing with his girlfriend, those who’d opted to stay and, later, their children.
Before long Merlions began to travel between their island and Singapore, the Merlion getting to know his parents and siblings very well.
And so, from then on, the Merlion population began to grow once more and they spread out from the two islands, eventually helping keep ports far and wide safe from intruders.
Even as far away as Portsea Island off the southern coast of Britain a colony of Merlions would one day live and work- and in conjunction with Merunicorns too. But that is a story for another time.
