Master, some owls are following us… Should I kill them?” Adeline asked.
“Don’t worry, they won’t be able to follow us after this…” Anon spoke as he picked up Diana into his arms, just like a princess.
“You ready to swim, Luv?” Anon asked with a smile.
“B-But… What if we get lost inside the sea and don’t find our way back out of there, and-” Diana started blabbering without any stops.
“Shhhh… Don’t worry and just believe in me,” Anon spoke in a very calm tone.
Diana calmed down immediately and looked at Anon’s face with an innocent expression.
“Do you believe me?” Anon asked.
“Y-Yes…” She replied. 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮
“Good… Adeline, return back home after this,” Anon commanded.
“As you command, dear,” Adeline replied.
“Why is he standing up with a girl in his arms?” The spy of the Alchemist house wondered in confusion.
[Underwater breather.]
“We will jump in 3…2…1,” Anon spoke as he immediately jumped off of Adeline’s back and fell directly into the stormborn sea.
Splash
The spies of the Alchemist house immediately stopped in the middle of the air.
“Master, He jumped into the stormborn sea,” one of the spies spoke. 𝘪𝘦.𝘤𝑜
“I know… I have eyes too,” the leader spoke.
“Should we follow him?” Another spy asked.
“No, He will come up within a few minutes… We will wait here,” the leader ordered.
“Yes, master.” Both of them spoke at the same time.
On the wrecked ship…
Neridia is looking through the window.
“Don’t do that, girl. If a dark minion saw you through that window, he will immediately report this location to his master, and we will all die,” the grandmother spoke as she looked at Neridia.
“I-I was just looking out to see if Diana is coming or not…” Neridia replied as she immediately backed off from the window.
“It’s dark already, and the night shift minions are patrolling the borders. These minions are ten times stronger at night than during the day.
If your girl tries to pass through them right now, then we better prepare a grave for her. The food collection team should be coming back any moment now. Help us prepare dinner for everyone,” Grandmother spoke.
“Yeah… You are right.” Neridia spoke as she swam up to Lorelei and started distributing the old plates they found inside the ship.
“So, How much damage did you sustain?” Neridia asked Lorelei.
“Only 700 of our species are remaining…” Lorelei replied in a cold tone.
“I-I am sorry to hear that… I-I didn’t know you guys suffered such huge damage,” Neridia apologized immediately.
“They attacked us on the night of the full moon, when we were singing on the rocks above the sea. I didn’t even know that my kingdom was under attack,” Lorelei spoke.
“Then… How did you find out that your kingdom was being attacked?” Neridia asked.
“My butler… Reached out to me, his body was covered with wounds and blood. He couldn’t even speak properly because his mouth was torn halfway by those fuckers.
I rushed back to the kingdom immediately, but it was too late for us. The kingdom was already destroyed, I escaped with only 714 women, men, and children.
We took refuge in these wrecked ships and tried to send a message to your kingdom about the attack, but all 14 of my messengers were brutally killed by that monster Aegis.
He tried to obtain information about our refuge, but my messengers didn’t give away anything and died a very horrible death.
I couldn’t even get to bury their bodies…. That’s when I decided that I will kill that monster so brutally that even his soul will shake from fear,” Lorelei spoke as she broke one of the plates in anger.
Crack
“I-I am very sorry to hear about those messengers. But, you have some really trustworthy messengers. I mean, to not give up even one word to that monster… That’s incredible,” Neridia spoke with a serious expression.
“Oh, they were all mothers… Who had their husbands and children on these ships. We sent them as messengers because, a mother siren will never give up their family’s address to a monster.
They will get killed, you know,” Lorelei spoke with a neutral expression.
“You are a very evil person, do you know that?” Neridia spoke.
“I know that, already. Tell me something-” Before Lorelei could’ve completed her sentence a loud knock was heard on the door.
Knock-Knock
Hearing the sudden knock, everyone on the ship got alerted.
The mermaids grouped up together, whereas the sirens picked up their weapons and assumed their defensive stances.
“Calm down, It should be the food collecting party… Go and open the door,” Grandmother spoke.
“Why would the food collecting party knock so loudly?” Lorelei asked with a suspicious expression.
“I will open the door, and if anything other than a mermaid or siren comes through that door, just kill it immediately,” Neridia spoke as she swam up to the door and grabbed its handle.
“Well, you aren’t a coward like your people huh?” Lorelei spoke as she grabbed a spear from the table and pointed it towards the gate.
Knock-Knock
“Are you ready?” Neridia asked.
“Born ready… Open the motherfucking gate,” Lorelei spoke with a very confident expression.

As soon as the doors opened, three mermaids and two sirens rushed inside the Hull.
Looking at them, Lorelei and the other sirens immediately turned their weapons down.
“I told you, that it was the- Wait… One, Two, Three, Four, Five… I sent out Six of you. Where is one siren?” Grandmother asked with a suspicious expression.
“Huff-Huff They Huff-Huff Saw Huff-Huff Us Huff-Huff….” One of the mermaids spoke up.
“You should relax before speaking… Your breathing rate is too high,” Neridia spoke as she closed the door and walked up to the Mermaid.
Lorelei also walked up to one of the sirens and asked, “What happened?”
“My Queen, The dark minions saw us… One of the sirens from our group that was from the other ship, pulled their attention towards herself,” the sire explained.
“The fuck, she did?” Lorelei asked with a very shocked expression.
