The coarse texture of the sand with a bit of graininess in it was the first thing the woman felt upon walking bare feet in the land. Her long bright golden-like straight hair glimmers under the hot sun.
Finally, after all their failed attempts, she is now free to walk in the land where humans reside.
Looking down at her legs, down to the pair of feet she has acquired after agreeing to the great elder's demand, the princess of the dying ocean successfully infiltrated the enemy's territory.
Her mouth remained sealed as she scans her surrounding, various trees can be seen and some luxurious ships are approaching the port nearby her, maybe, she could ask them questions later.
The ocean breeze swept beside her with a gentle warm feeling as the soles of her feet began to slightly burn. However, she remained her straight composure despite the unusual foreboding that crept into her system, she is after all, in a peculiar situation.
Her new body parts created a tingling feeling inside her.
'What now?' A part of her questioned, she tries to recall what the first step of her mission is and remembers there is nothing as no one ever thought that becoming a human is possible.
Her first procedure was to become those creatures with two straight bones that are used for walking or 'legs' as what the men call it. Since she became the first-ever mermaid to set foot on the steady ground, she's unsure of the following steps.
However, one thing is clear in her mind, she must find the person who is responsible for polluting her home.
The seagulls glide towards the air, as the ships began to start blasting loud honks. On the third blast, it completely reached the port. Unlike what the merman's told her, this ship is gigantic and made of metal, as far as she knows, it should've been built from wood and not from these advanced materials.
'Humanity has indeed reached its peak' a thought popped out in her mind.
While mankind continuously innovates and invents new things that will help them in their daily life, it was her home who suffers. The death rates of the sea creatures went high and even the corals which were the sleeping den of their fellow friend fishes has been destroyed and impaired by those vicious hearted creatures.
Her fists unconsciously formed a ball. Her dying father has forbidden her to go in the upper part of the Earth but as the eldest daughter of the King, she couldn't stay put while seeing how her friends and family die one by one each day. It feels like waiting for a tree to wither and die when you can water it.
Ah, yes, trees, she's at least still familiar with how they looked like. They were taught various things when they were younger, about how the world is and that another kind of life forms similar to them exist if you swim for 500,000 feet, you can reach the shore or 'the other world' as they would call it.
The woman's body was slightly toned due to what she does every day, swimming. Her overly pale skin proved that she hadn't got the chance to stay under the mighty sun's rays. Good thing she has alluring lips, it gave color to her pale complexion.
A passerby won't notice a single defect on the newly transformed mermaid, she's very human-like, aside from the fact that when it comes to aesthetics and definition of beautiful, she's ten-tiers higher than the average human.
Her figure will make any man bow down to their knees, some may even kowtow just to get a glimpse of her sea-like turquoise eyes.
Using her peripheral view, the senses she has heightened.
She must move her feet to ask those people who are descending from the ship, she's kind of near, but still, the people cannot see her because they are heading to the opposite way where she is.
'Move, you stupid human flesh!' she cursed inwardly and shifted her energy towards her lower body. That lasted for a few minutes but her own body failed her, she can't move an inch. Seeing that the people are lessening with each minute that passes by, the mermaid princess can only heave a long sigh, was her father right? Going into the surface will only cause her trouble and death, she will not gain anything nor accomplish her task.
Anxiety crept into her system, she suddenly felt her stomach churned upside down. Sweat started dripping from the side of her face while coldness began grumbling inside. It was chaotic, what she's experiencing right now. The once benevolent, and intelligent firstborn princess felt helpless in an unknown environment, she can't even move forward literally, she's stuck.
Bearing the curses didn't help her much nor does patiently waiting there for someone to notice her presence.
'Take the risk' a part of her murmured and she knows it's right.
Inhaling deeply and exhaling, she mustered her remaining strength and tried to change the weather, yes, she's calling the water from the clouds. It was a quick science, precipitation.
She forced the waters to go up and fill in the clouds and in just a snap, the supposed to be sunny day turned into a gloomy Monday morning.
The beautiful maiden felt her vision went blurry, she wants to fall down but her feet is stopping her from doing so, it's just there, standing and unmoving.
Her turquoise eyes averted its gaze for one last time, blinking slowly while the raindrops landed on her pale white skin.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" she heard an ear-splitting scream coming from what's supposed to be a girl.
A few seconds passed by.
"There's a woman out there, go help her!" the woman continued shouting at her bodyguards after she got back to her senses.
A problem occurred, when she squinted her eyes to see the woman clearly, she caught sight of the nakedness of the woman.
"W-wait! Stop!" it was that voice again, from that lady, "She has no clothes on, go back here you pervert!"
A sudden halt.
The three men, who were her bodyguards were left with no choice but to scratch their heads in dismay. They didn't even see the girl whom they are going to rescue, their boss surely changes her mind easily.
"She's the one who told us to get that woman though" one of them complained in a whisper-like tone but it didn't escape from their boss' good hearing.
"Who's the one complaining?!" she snickered jokingly.
Going back to business, that girl needs urgent help. A storm must be brewing, that's why it was so hot earlier and now it's starting to rain. Weather changes fast these days, might be the effect of global warming.
She averted her gaze to the other direction only to see a golden-haired girl.
"Ma'am, but who will help her?" said the other who caught a glimpse of the beauty. He's excited to see closer the enchanting woman. Thinking about touching her body caused his body to become heated.
"Call my brother..." the young lady sighs defeatedly. She can't let her bodyguards carry a naked woman, but she can't carry that woman too! Duh, her limited edition dress will be ruined, might as well let her aloof brother handle this.
Andromeda’s Point of View I was rendered speechless, a question that hits the sore spot of my soul. Claire’s right, I came here for revenge, I told myself multiple times that I would break things off with Azrael, yet, I waited up to this moment, where we married in a haste, A whirlwind marriage, that’s what we had, yet I am aware that in this lifetime that would be the only marriage I would have. I smiled bitterly, all this time, I thought Claire was the one who was not in the right mind, shouting nonsense words, but she is correct, I didn’t come here to be married, to be happy. I have told Xiulan Qiong before, for a person like me, happiness is not an option, unlike for other people. Was it right to leave Azrael? My heart broke at the thought of his saddened face. I admit I was selfish, I knew all this time that this beautiful dream that we shared would come to an end, yet I waited and delayed it until we came to this point.
Third Point of View“It’s finally over,” Andromeda’s hands were tightly clasped onto Azrael’s, the feeling of touching another life form was surreal, it created small sparks of joy every second.“Yeah,” Azrael replied, his mind was elsewhere, particularly on the woman they saw earlier named Vanessa Fergus. He seemed to be not bothered by it, but what if he really had a daughter?Loud, callous, and cold, that’s how he lived his life before he had been in a car accident. His past self didn’t bother in creating journals about how his day or his life went, rarely did he see any notes regarding how he was, most of them were about business ideas.However, searching his name on websites as he was recovering from being in a tragic accident, he saw a piece of his life he came to hate. Azrael Thorne Execroz was a man who spends his free time with different women. It was no wonder that Vane
“Sir, we have found a pile of documents about illegal transactions hidden, and a woman imprisoned together with a baby,” one of the bodyguards said, his face stoic and serious. “I see, can you get the woman and bring her to the nearest hospital immediately? Ask others to arrest the Qiongs as well, everyone involved in those transactions, I highly doubt there was a single family member of them who is untainted,” Azrael’s words were immediately followed by his men. What he did wasn’t trespassing as it was Yan Qiong herself who let him in. ‘It was much easier to solve it with Azrael’s help,’ Andromeda thought, but in all honesty, the man has a big role in this case, he was the man Vanessa Fergus has requested to get, it was just that Azrael denied knowing her existence, and thus, Andromeda was forced to ask him a favor instead in which he followed. “This can’t be happening, why?! Why did you ruin everything?” Yan Qiong hysterically said, pointing her trembling f
Andromeda’s Point of View My cream-colored sandals touched the ground of Sue Island. We landed atop a building owned by none other than the man beside me. Curiosity started to kick into my system, just how much land does this person have? The one we landed was said to be under construction still and isn’t out on for the public to come yet, however, it can be used by employees and designers as it is on the last phase of building, just some minor finishing touches and it would be good to go, the grand opening ceremony will be held a month from now according to Azrael. “I can’t believe I am back here,” I muttered under deep breaths, it is exhilarating to be back home! To Sutra Kingdom! From atop, I can see the glittering light blue, clear waters, it was quite hot as it was around two in the afternoon when we landed. He’s right, taking the helicopter was the fastest, it took us days to arrive at Guijing City from Sue Island, but it took merely five hours
Andromeda’s Point of View“I can handle myself, you don’t need to do all of those things” I chuckled, lightly patting Azrael’s hands. My tail vanished after two weeks of resting. I have heard no news from anyone as this man beside me insisted that I shouldn’t read any of the news or messages until I am fully recuperated.He was right though, besides, I don’t want to be a burden to him. In all those fourteen days with me resting on his mansion, he was the one to do all the chores and cooking as there was no maid around. I saw him working late at night beside the pool, trying to accompany and watch me sleep despite him being tired.“I am afraid you’ll fall again with my watch,” he spoke mildly, his face was blank as if recalling memories that were too painful for him to handle. My heart sank, a strong man like him being soft and fragile was not a picture I wanted to see. He had been through life and death
“What really happened?” I asked curiosity took over me, I do not know the exact details of how I ended up being so wounded, my life force was down to seventy percent, which meant that the accident that occurred was big, a normal human would either be left dead or if not, in comatose.“A huge debris fell down on you and based on the sent CCTV records to me, it wasn’t supposed to hit you that hard if you hadn’t stopped and turned your back once more, it was an unprecedented act, and even the ones behind the incident didn’t see that the small amount of time you took to turn back, will increase the impact so much,” he explains thoroughly.We are inside another pool area, one in which it was covered with a glass roof, this one is a bit smaller than the first one yet it was still colossal, it can be compared to those swimming pools a resort offers.The sound of the rain falling, like chimes in a windy day, made m
