When things were coming to a close, Ryver and the rest of The Aces were on their way to Myzopodis. Heartless had the crew hired on to complete a job for princess Diana Voxville. Ryver new that Diana was coming in with a team, so when they were waiting for their arrival at the docks he was eager to meet the new people. He first latched onto Gidget. He was curious about her physique and horselike human nature. He thought that she must be similar to what he was revealing his more fish like genetics to her. This was of course after he touched her all over and received a threat if he continued the act. He telepathically linked with her and learned that she was a Centaur while he was some kind of fish man.
He lead her and the rest of her team aboard the ship where he would welcome them to the crew. Temple, Natsuru, and Deino Jormun were all present on the main deck while their captain was with the princess. Temple had asked everyone what their diets were in case there we restrictions. When Ryver learned that Gidget's main meat was fish he puffed up and shifted to his fishy form. Gidget tried to make the situation better but Temple stepped in. He basically told Ryver to chill and that it wasn't a big deal.
Not long after that Ryver was able to meet with Diana. He was immediately infatuated with her and wanted to do nothing more than impress her and have her like him. He was like a puppy dog to her. He guided her to The Cursed Blade where she and the rest of her crew would share some drinks and food before turning in for the night.
The following morning, Ryver woke everyone up to get them up and ready for the day, He continued to try and show off to Diana as they set sail out onto the ocean. At one point Gaius pointed out the killer whales that were in the water. Ryver jumped in to continue his performance but soon found himself on the deck of the ship once more. Only this time he was surrounded by sirens.
A voice came into his head, one of he has heard before. The voice instructed him to keep the princess safe no matter what happened. He followed the instructions and unleashed his form of dread, giving him an appearance that was similar to the sirens that were before him. He grabbed Diana and dove into the water. Here is where he was scooped up by Temple who was a whale. The two sat in his mouth as Ryver informed her that he was trying to protect her. He did eventually help her back on the Mad Hatter before diving back into the waters to act as a threat in the water to the sirens.
The fight came to a close allowing Ryver to return to the main deck. Questions ensued due to his strange behavior. This behavior came about due to the orders he had received from his patron within his head. With other members of the Order of the Moonlight, he was able to gain control of the ship and separated his crew mates and the Voxville Escort. He and a few others took some of them to the Badlands.
