Line 238: * In some variations of [[Nautical Folklore]], it is possible to take a mermaid captive by stealing an item of magic thus keeping her captive. Because [[Abduction Is Love]] she will often marry the man who did this and raise a loving family. But, she will spend all her spare time trying to find it, and once found she will swim away. ** Those who are nice to stranded mermaids on the other hand receive kindness from them.

His family's boats are, according to one version, famous through large parts of Scotland. * The [[w:Fairy Flag\|Fairy Flag of ~~Macleod~~MacLeod]] might count if you fudge it, as the [[Home Base]] of the ~~Macleod's~~Macleods is on a coastal island and mer-folk are basically nautical fairies. There is a real fairy flag but several tales of ~~it's~~its origin, all interesting though not equally plausible. The best one is that a MacLeod prince fell in love with a local spirit but she could not decide between her lover and her own people. Leaving the Fairy Flag to protect ~~Macleod's~~Macleods in the future was [[Take a Third Option\|a compromise.]] According to tales, the ~~MacLeod's~~MacLeods ~~have~~can ~~three~~[[Rule ~~times to~~of Three\|call on ~~it's~~its protection ~~from~~three times]] against great danger, which usually means [[Proud Warrior Race\|war]]. ofAccording ~~course~~to ~~and~~the ~~two~~legend the Macleods have already ~~been~~ used ~~(according~~it totwice (although one version says it was never actually used in [[World War 2]] though the ~~MacLeod's~~MacLeods took pieces of it to battle). == Toys ==
