Plot
Dawn was in the library, helping Triton look through books to find a solution for Triteia's condition. Coming up empty after nearly a hundred books, the two left in defeat. Savantia was there to greet them, disappointed that they did not find anything, but told them that they could use a break. Dawn decided to take the time by swimming around Atlantis.

While doing so, the redhead crashed into a merman her age by accident. He apologized to her immediately, looking like he was in a hurry. Before she could fully process the thought, Sariel came in, saying, "I found you!" Dawn, without her trident, immediately relied on her powers before the angel claimed that he was here for the merman before knocking her back with his powers.

The merman, named Alec, immediately helped her up, swimming across Atlantis with her to get away from Sariel. When Dawn asked Alec why he was after him, he explained he had 'something' that Sariel kept trying to get his hands on ever since he first found him. He also said that staying here in Atlantis might increase his chance of safety, having moved in this week.

They eventually lost Sariel, Alec learning that Dawn was part of the royal family. Seeing it as an advantage for safety and to show his culinary skills, he asked her if they were in need of cooks. Dawn was skeptical, asking him if he wanted a job in the royal palace to later steal anything precious (as one of the old cooks was fired for that very reason a week ago), but he assured her that he had enough in his savings from every job he had.

Dawn decided to try his cooking, wanting proof that he would make something edible. He made her a simple yet appealing dish in the palace kitchen, the redhead taking a bite of it. Her eyes widened as she finished it, immediately and wordlessly grabbing Alec's hand and taking him to her parents. When they asked about him, Dawn said, "I found our new chef."
