Do you hear it, Andromeda?
The bombs that kept exploding and your friend's and family's voice wailing deeply in sorrow.
With every explosion that happens, their tails got ripped off, their soul would start vanishing into thin air as they uttered the word, "Escape, Andromeda"
The moments you shared together, those laughs, each meal you had together can no longer happen again because of the selfishness of other people.
Why must we suffer?
Why should my people be drowned in agony?
That day, the sea looks palely blue, it should've stayed that way, but with a sound that resembled a thunderstrike, the blue seawater turned bloody red.
The screams echoed loudly and clearly...
Revenge...yes, the sole reason why she's here, in the land.
Do you remember, Andromeda?
How you take care of that one angelfish you loved, you gave her a name, Sammy...and she was pregnant, ready to give birth to a thousand more of her kin...she was pregnant, yet, they caught her to become one of their meals.
It's funny how they can painstakingly get anything they want, their greed amuses me.
Teach them a lesson that will be forever embarked in their hearts full of holes.
In each step that you will take, darken your golden heart.
Stick it in your head, Princess.
The day when the Ocean was filled with blood and tears of your clan. When no one would've guessed that you're already crying, no one sees it nor can trace it underwater, but you know it yourself, you were dying inside, yet with your tears, you filled the ocean with golden pearls.
All those sea animals you tried to heal, all those wounds you kept putting medicine to, went down the drain because you see, they killed them fully without any mercy.
What more do they want?
You gave them seas that they turned into the land to build those various gigantic buildings.
You kept your mouth shut each time they take some of your beloved, and you didn't let your rage get past you.
How much more, would you love the creatures that shattered you?
They were like shrapnel in your heart, it digs in deeper, wanting for more blood yet you keep giving love.
Remember the travesty of their actions.
They are wicked, and you, you shouldn't love what is wicked.
"Father, humans are amazing~ mom said she tasted one of their foods before, it was delicious!" the young Andromeda spoke, her eyes filled with happiness and excitement, would she be able to taste one of their food too?
Will she meet one of the humans in her lifetime?
Her turquoise eyes glistened with joy, it brightened up and even her father can't help but smile.
"You'll get there one day, young lady" her King father smiled while patting her head, he indeed gave birth to a lovable child.
But...you get it don't you, Andromeda?
Humans are vile, they are cruel.
When your mom became sick, it's because the food they gave has poison in it.
When your father became unable to swim, it was due to the bombing...
You get it, don't you?
You were living in the sea, yet you drowned still.
As a child, you were fond of the way they speak, the way they talk, you gave them the things you owned, even those that are precious to you.
If anyone has the power to get revenge they long for, it's you who can do it...after all, you're a great observer.
Dearest Andromeda, let your shine blind every human species...
"Why must you go?" it was her best friend, Cassiopea who asked...
"Didn't I tell you? It's payback time,"
"But you love them, you adored them, Andromeda! You should let me be the one who will exchange tails for feet, I will avenge you" her mermaid friend insisted, her hands gripping at her chest.
Andromeda's hand started trembling with anger and sadness, emotions that she didn't have before. She took a deep breath and continued to clench her fist, with all the calmness she gathered, she replied...
"Look here, I of most mermans, understand what you are feeling Cassiopea, your beloved died after all. We lost many of our people, but please, let me be the one to handle it"
"That heartless beings killed my betrothed! We were enjoying the view that night, the moon is in its full form...yet...they killed him...in front of my very eyes, I saw blood spurted out of his body that used to serve as my warmth... Why kill our loved ones?...your family, my soon to be family...our friends!" her words are full of resentment, it echoed throughout Andromeda's heart.
Swimming swiftly beside Casiopea, the Princess of the vast sea of Sutra Kingdom gave a tight hug to her friend while whispering...
"Trust me, I'll put them down, all of them. The love that I gave them earnestly was dead the time they dropped the cause of death of our people...from now on, there will no more bountiful catch, the divers will go home, without a pearl or any valuables and the greatest revenge is for me, the Princess of the Sutra Kingdom, to become one of their kind, reach the pinnacle of their strength then crush them with it."
"I reassure you, they will bow down their knees while I destroy their lives the same way they did to us." she ended.
"B-but Andromeda, don't taint your hands" Cassiopea stopped sobbing upon hearing what the Princess said.
"I won't, don't worry, my hands are too precious to be filled with their dirty blood, I have other plans if ever the elders succeeded in changing my form"
There is no room for fragileness in this world, the aftermath of the bombing they caused are still resonating throughout the sea. Millions of corals were damaged, and even 15 years later, the chemicals still linger.
"Who said you can't kill a person internally?" she smirked but deep down her heart, it was loneliness that topped everything.
'Why must it have come to this point?' she thought while digging her long nails into her skin, drips of gold flowed around.
This was back then when she can bleed freely without any curse.
A lone figure clad in an azure silk gown stood at the balcony of the Qiong's villa. The entire room was filled with gloomy atmosphere, it was dark with only the sounds of dripping rain resonating throughout.It was just an awful dream.'I guess it was just wishful thinking on my part that we, humans and mermen, can co-exist peacefully, then sooner, I'd reveal myself to their world. I had high-hopes yet in a snap, it dissolved into bubbles.'As the cold wind stroked her body, she shivered instinctively but didn't move.Is this how feeble a human body is?With a little bit of coldness, one shudders their arms while in coldness.Their people thrive more.Her mind once more wandered to the thoughts she's forbidden to speak of.'Love can be deadly when given to the wrong people'This is the biggest lesson she acquired after what happened fifteen years ago and its aftermath to her Kingdom.It's been three days since she
"There are six main bedrooms in our villa, sister Yan occupies the largest one on the third floor, beside her is the office she works in. She is lazy, so she doesn't get anything done anyway unless it piques her interest, she won't get up and get the job done" Xiulan narrated while sighing, he forgot that their villa is composed of many rooms. Now, he needs to spend half of his day touring Nixie.Well, he took the day-off so it should be fine…if only his eldest sister, Yan Qiong would help him, life for him would be easier.After all, if his sister wills to reach the top five of the inner elite circles, she can do it in a snap.Nixie nodded slightly, and this took Xiulan's attention from his stress regarding his sister. The fact that Nixie didn't even bother listening to his juicy gossips and rants about his older sister proved that she's not a spy nor an agent.This gained Xiulan's trust.His eyes once more pinned down against the beauty.
It was already middle in the midnight when little footsteps can be vaguely heard all around the basement of the Qiong's.A little figure with a bright flashlight on her hand looked around curiously on the bare walls, she needed to go downstairs in order to travel down the basement. Unlike other rooms, this one isn't polished nor glistening with extravagance.It was dirty and full of webs, with brick walls that resemble ancient towers.It was a relief that Keela Chen, the maid, taught her how to use the flashlight, or else, there's no possible way that she can walk through the dim room.'A door?' she asked herself quizzically.She was toured by Xiulan Qiong earlier in the villa, however, a certain door caught her interest, when she inquired Xiulan about this, he said she was not allowed to go there.Curiosity indeed kills a cat.She ventured the rooms of all the family members, there was no room that she hasn't seen, but why is that sp
A golden tail brightly shimmering under the lonesome moon, sparkling with the splashing water, a few moments passed by and the princess of the Sutra kingdom decided to swim deeper.It was a cold night and her body seemed to forget what coldness feels like for the Qiong family made her stay as cozy as possible.
Andromeda was painful in all parts especially her body. She felt as though she was floating in the vast ocean, drifting along with the flow while experiencing the rise and fall of the tide. Besides, she also sensed a deep feeling of helplessness and trepidation for not being able to get a hold of any driftwood.She tried her best to open her eyes, and that feeling was increasingly obvious as if a blaze of fire burning all parts of her body, not only causing her pain but had also brought about a strange emotion in her.‘Why did you hurt yourself in order to escape?’ her inner voice asked while she gave up opening her eyes and keeping them in a tight seal.The humans are indeed cruel, their hearts are covered in the darkness that even the ones she trusted, Xiulan Qiong, would betray her.
“Pwaaggghhh!” he vomited, not caring whether he’s dirtying the pristine flooring of the ship.The attendants can clean it later! But his mouth will never be the same as before, it has been tainted and dirtied to the core.
“Waaahh”Andromeda shrieked when Mister Crabby suddenly let her go. She thought that this man will let her fall to the ground but it was surprising that instead of a stone-cold flooring, her body was welcomed by the delicate fabric and mattress.It was softer than the ones she had inside the villa of the Qiong’s!She opened her eyes that were unconsciously closed before.“Where will you go?” she asked softly but Mister Crabby didn’t respond.‘What a snob!’ she thought.Her eyes scanned throughout the room. It was a huge place with black, white and teal colors inside.Masculinity is evident in each part of the room. Inside it is a king-size bed covered in black blankets, below is a sophisticated white floor with a black fur carpet.
“Andromeda is a constellation name, its meaning is mostly known to be as the chained maiden, it’s quite fascinating for you to have it” the man narrated while holding a thick book on his hand, his back resting at the white marble wall of his room.
