Since it comes down to it, Audrey also decided to give his grandfather a visit as well with an intention to inquire about his missing brother or if there is any news of him."It is my reckoning that the time is ripe for you to learn of your origin."Please don't tell me I'm adopted.""Adopted? That is downright hilarious, my dear."" You are a true born Lee, why would you think I would dote a stranger's child? You are my own flesh and blood through and through. But I am talking about your maternal family."Should she become curious and started asking about his ancestry, you were to tell her this: My daughter, Audrey, has Lilith's blood on her, just as I am and all the Chieftess of Mystic Muses that come before us. Tell her she was destined to take my place in the highest council way before she was even born. But as her mother, I would not like to burden her by it. The position would only be officially hers is she chose to. But know that there is a power in her blood, far greater than
Considering that it was already halfway through the day when Audrey’s group came across Captain Styles and his crew, plus the considerable amount of time it took for them to keep the negotiation rolling to their advantage, it did not come as a huge surprise when the lots of them only started sailing back into the open water when dusk was already closing in. Not that they have any complaints against it; after all, it was not like they have a say on the matter. They were not exactly in the position to be calling shots, in the first place. They could already count themselves lucky to meet someone who could rescue them from the underwater cave. Otherwise, there was no telling how long they would stay trapped in that god forsaken place.However, as the wind carried their sail forward, Steve suddenly realize an anomaly.“How come this ship is doing this?”He muttered under his breath. At this point, the guy was already wearing a conflicted expression as a result of his perplexion. So when A
“We still have a few hours left before our departure. In the meantime, go ahead and feel free to make yourself busy with your own stuff.”After a short while, Captain Styles made this announcement and almost immediately, everyone from his crew cheered and left whatever they were doing. Judging by how quickly these people reacted, Audrey’s friends could tell right away that this was how the captain and his crew normally carried out their typical task throughout day.“Interesting.”David could not help but comment and without him knowing it, he was already nodding his head in complete approval. The fact that Captain Styles could command this kind of cooperation spoke volumes of how good he was at doing his thing. The instant the captain gave the w
“You dare make a fool of people?! You must be seeking death!”The queen roared as soon as Audrey and her friends were brought to her presence. The news of them escaping the imprisonment by using sorcery and tricking her constituents to do their bidding enraged to the monarch.“Do you think my kingdom is a joke?”She went on to throw them a rhetorical question. But even without them answering her, she was already fuming with rage.“This is unforgivable. A blasphemy to the highest degree! And because of that, I sentence you to be the lowest of my slaves. Now, I will turn you people into fish to exfoliate my royal feet!"Everyone was like…The heck?When they heard the sentence given to them. At first it sounded petty and lame for them. However, when realization hit them, that was when they understand how dreadful was the punishment they were about to receive because if that were to happen, then they would be bound to forever servitude doing nothing but eating the callus off of the queen
"It's true, his blood holds some power. But only traces of it, an insignificant amount. In fact, he barely possesses any; too faint if I might add. His incompetence almost forced me to drain every last drop of blood there is in his body before I could even produce any gratifying outcome. "Anyway, I am glad those vermins, whoever they were, helped me get rid of that pest of a son of yours. I plan to thank them in person in the near future. I have a feeling it will be sooner than I am expecting.""That boy may be your firstborn and he may came from an impressive bloodline and have Lilith's blood flowing in his vein. But I imagine it was nowhere near as potent as quite the likes of that of your daughter's. After all, the deity's power was only passed down to the female descendant. Aye?"The thing is, as soon as a descendant of Lilith got pregnant with a female child, all the deity power she holds will be drained out from her body and be used as a nourishment to the fetus; in a way Audre
Audrey appeared more anxious than before and this was the exact opposite of what Nero wanted to happen. To begin with, his sole purpose for speaking to Audrey was to make her feel better. All he wanted was for his master to confide in him in order to lighten her burden; in case the pent-up emotion was weighing her down. However, from the current looks of it, his probing questions only agitated the other party and made her more stressed than she already was. Thus, the cat no longer said anything afterward lest his words ended up adding to Audrey’s growing anxiety. He was afraid that the more he talked, the more perturbed the other party would become. Of course, it goes without saying that this was the least of his intention right now.So to avoid blowing things out of proportion, Nero just left Audrey to her own devices in the meantime. Sporting a look of defeat on his tiny furry face, little Nero returned to his previous post where he and Monami were sitting. Meanwhile, Audrey watch
A single whirlpool, or an eddy, was a common occurrence in the ocean, but a pair of whirlpools was something that only existed in myths. Or at least that was what common people were made to believe.For decades, people have believed that a pair of whirlpools which was known as a modon, was possible. However, while experts in this area have predicted for decades that they might form in the ocean, nobody had ever seen one; or rather, there was no living soul yet that could tell the tale of its wonder.Captain Styles remained unbothered even after their ship was surrounded by raging currents and whirlpools. In fact, he just shrugged his shoulder when he saw them appear. His action implied that this was not something to fuss about. Likewise, he did not see the point of explaining anything since he reckoned that even if he tried, given that they were in the middle of a fight or flight response, Audrey and her friends would still not understand a thing from what he will going to say.

It was no longer that hard to guess that the leviathan that tried to abduct the group was no other than the same Kraken that was rumored to be working under Romanov's command. As a matter of fact, it already became an established belief that the beast was the contracted spirit animal of the said captain. One of the common themes that could be observed among multiple accounts of varying sailors whenever they were asked to talk about this infamous tandem was that of how the Kraken was only acting in Captain Romanov’s stead; it was basically taking orders from its master. So whether this tentacles-ridden, creature of the deep blue sea would bring forth nightmare or bestow salvation upon the unwitting person that ended up crossing them, it was all highly dependent on the other party’s mood. In the past, it was made known that Alec Romanov had once received the noble task of ferrying the soul of those who died in the open water and apparently taking them with him to the other side. It
