" Look, Lin and Mia is back! "" So is our grandson along with his uncle and aunt! "Xie and Roe carried the baby as Lin and Mia walked arm in arm.It looked like a storm had just passed over the place.Bodies scattered here and there. Blood and flesh filling the air with its dirty stench.They saw Nanako, holding hands with a handsome young male, chaining down the beast by its body and tail." Uncle Jin... "exclaimed as she ran." Stay back Mia! "He yelled before she got too close for the beast. It snapped and licked from its bondage." Lin! "Nana exclaimed as he too caught up with them." Does this mean it's over? What do you do now that you have caught this thing? "Lin asked." Dang! We missed a good fight! "Roe stamped her feet. Xie hit her on her head. " You just returned from getting drowned. Don't forget small head! "" My Roe... Roe....! " Boshu ran towards her throwing away his helmet and sword. He was about tk hug her by the glaring Wolf King made him settle for a back
They were drenched from head to toe as they ran trying to catch the little culprit.It was not raining at the moment but he had called the ocean waters and made it shower on them." Mia get hold of your son. He is becoming too powerful ! "Ruby was the one baby sitting him. He was too fond of her. But he got mad when Xie sneaked in from behind and pulled her under him.He was about to plant a kiss on her lips when the little minion unleashed the shower , soaking them wet.Jade had taken the helm of the mer- world. She happily married Anjana and pronounced him king.Ruby agreed to Xie's marriage proposal. And she came to the land to live as his queen.But she needed to keep going back to the mer- world to revitalise herself. Xie had given up his chance of claiming the throne for this reason and decided to settle near the shore.This way, Ruby never had to miss the waters.Boshu went to live with Roe in the Wolf kingdom. His phobia of wolves had long disappeared. It only came back when R
It didn't feel right. It was great. We were back to our old ways. Lin, me, Boshu, Roe and Xie. We had left Ruby behind because it was my first time leaving Aku behind and he was throwing a lot of tantrums. Had it not been due to the request sent to us from both our parents, the fox and the wolf kings, I wasn't practically willing to leave my baby boy behind. He wasn't a baby anymore, I knew that well but he would always be a baby to me, no matter how old he was. At the moment, he was barely more than a toddler. But his way of growing wasn't really according to norms. He had his own unique pace of growing. His mixed traits were manifesting at such a tender age. It was something to take into account but it wasn't strange. " Mia, you seem so lost. Tell me what's bugging you sweetheart. "Lin shoved me with his shoulder as he handed me the glass of fresh juice that he brought. I was sitting right over the mast, dangling my legs, feeling the cool breeze tingle me as I brooded. He sat
Ruby and Jade sat at the lavish table that was spread in front of them. Ruby's mother-in-law, the Wolf queen, Xie's mother had called them over, asking them to bring Akata as well. " His grandfather just can't live without seeing him anymore. He has to take him on a piggy back ride now and then, if he has to keep functioning properly. "She laughed softly as she herself poured the drinks for Ruby and Jade. She had invited the sisters over, which wasn't very normal because the relationship between Xie's mother and wife was stained. The wolf queen despised Ruby because she thought she was the reason her son gave up on becoming the king. So Ruby and Jade could not say no to the Wolf Queen's invitation, when she called them over for brunch. " Oh my gosh! Boy... looking where you are going.... "No sooner had she finished pouring the drink than Akata came running right into her and bumped so hard onto her, that the glasses fell from the Queen's hand and she stumbled on her feet to regai
" They took the boy to the mer-world? "Asked the voice of a lady who seemed very feeble. She tried sitting up as the person in front of her entered. Well, he wasn't really a person, he was actually a fox. " I can't even go back to the ocean to revitalize myself, least those traitors get any clue about my survival. "The lady coughed up some blood as the fox prince in front of her extended a cloth. " Well, if things go as planned, you will soon be able to return to the part of the ocean that falls inside the wall. It will be your haven in the Western Wastelands. "The lady scoffed. " I know you only saved me and gave me refuge because you wanted to use me. But you know you still need me. You can't just get rid of me at this moment... "" Who wants to get rid of you fair mermaid? I was only trying an innocent suggestion... "The fox prince reflected his malicious grin. " Don't you know the part that we sealed off has bubbling poison inside it? That poison is what is causing all th
Mia carefully hid the wound in her hand that was spreading little by little. It was taking its toll on her and she knew she could no longer hide it. But she feared the impulsive behavior from both her husband and brother. The only one she could confide in was Boshu, because Roe, was also stubborn. They would attack head on in anger and for revenge without giving her any more chance to find out more about their new enemy's nature. " Tell me Mia, what is it that you wanted to talk about. Why couldn't we talk in front of them? "Boshu sneaked away from the campsite that they had made. They were lucky enough to find an island further west from the spot where they were almost about to crash. They made a fire and were cooking something for them to eat. Mia said nothing but grabbed his hand and pulled him further away, making sure there was no way for the others to hear them. She slowly lifted her dress and revealed the small wound which was by that time quite prominent. " Oh my gosh! Mi
I woke up to find myself all alone, sleeping peacefully while the men were gone. Roe was packing something when she saw me getting up and smiled. " We need to run. They must be back by now with the boat. We need to return. "She said. " Return? Wait what! Why? "I hurriedly sat up. " I don't know. Mother sent Xie a message with the hawk. She asked us to come back. Immediately. "" Is Aku alright? "My heart started racing, completely forgetting about everything that our new mission was all about. " I don't know but I think it wouldn't have been my mother to send us the mail, had anything happened to our little star. You know, it would have been father or maybe the army.... "She tried to joke. She had a point. I tried to calm down as the wind took us back, faster than it had taken for us to reach that place. I sprinted as fast as I could after getting down. My boy was right there, waiting for me and he came at me, running and hugged me back. Before I could ask him if he was al
It seemed like Mia was again back in that dimension where she was able to talk with Nanako, though it began like a dream. She was running in that misty field, looking here and there, wondering, why she was back there and then she heard that voice. The voice she had not heard in a while. The only voice that gave her peace, apart from her husband, that is. " Mia, my baby. "There she was. Her mother, the mer-queen, Crystal. Mia turned to look at her and then she was stunned. She was floating in that mist, as if it was water and she was in front of Mia, in her true form. Mia had never seen her mother like that. It couldn't have been a dream. Her hair was flowing in the air around her, as if it was a silvery, molten metal. Her scales were shimmering and shinning, though there was no ligh source present there. They kept changing colour, from blue to emerald to sapphire to lavender. Her eyes were like the witches orb. Mysterious and sparkly. Mia hesitated for moment. Was that etherea
