The Falling Merman Novel Novels & Stories

Chapter 121: The Final Act The atmosphere in the warehouse was thick with tension, as if every breath was laden with the weight of a thousand unsaid words. Olivia’s heart hammered in her chest, her eyes flicking between Ethan and Derek. The standoff was palpable, the final confrontation looming like a storm waiting to break. Ethan was standing tall, his jaw clenched in determination. Derek, on the other hand, wore his usual smug expression, though there was something different in his eyes now. Fear, perhaps, or the realization that his control was slipping.

I pushed Orion towards the game he wanted and looked around for any hidden threats “I’ve seen this before, what do you call it” Orion whispered. Or at least tried to, the fair had buried his voice with the cacophony of merriment , but I heard the smooth baritone of his voice and the vibration in the air. “That’s a gun” “Right, I remember seeing one once and tried to eat it, it was disgusting, much too strong for my liking” I traced my lips with my tongue a huff under my breath was all I could muster in response to the silly merman, an image of him grinding metal gun parts with his teeth and a look of pure disgust on his face materialized and I snorted

Then, she looked inside and said angrily, "Felix, you really don't know what's good for you, do you? I think—" Her words got stuck in her throat the very next second. My corpse had already been stewed into pieces, no longer resembling that of a human. However, my head floated at the top, my empty sockets boring into her.

The Ravenport compound burned in the distance, thick black smoke curling into the night sky like a dark omen. Sirens wailed from far off, but they wouldn’t arrive in time. Morrigan’s empire—fortified with secrets, silenced voices, and betrayal—was falling. And Fiona stood at the edge of the cliff overlooking it all, wind tangling her hair, eyes unblinking. Darwin limped to her side, blood soaking through the sleeve of his jacket. He glanced at the burning facility below and then at Fiona. "We did it," he said.

It was as if everyone else faded away and there was only her there as she looked back once for Xavier and Amelia to turn back to a nurse rolling a woman in a bed. She tripped over the bed, before falling over on the floor the woman grasped her hand as they both hit the ground. Jasmine tried to remove her hand quickly, but the woman had a vice grip. It glowed as it had when she touched Mrs. Jenkins back at her home, unaware and on it’s own without her controlling it. The woman woke before Jasmine knew what she was doing. She jerked away as she hit the wall trying not to hyperventilate. “What have you done?” A voice yelled out at her. Jasmine screamed as she saw the Angel from earlier, walking

Two chests were lifted up the side of the ship with massive effort, leaden with water and their contents, and placed upon the deck to drain. As I returned my eyes to the water, I saw a flick of blue and silver, and found myself looking down at a merman. He caught my eye and grinned his face distorted by the ripples of the waves. I followed the balustrade around to the rear of the ship as he swam that way, just below the surface, face up, holding my gaze. Once he was out of sight of the sailors, he rose from the waves.

“So now, what are you?” I open my mouth to tell her, and he sticks his damn thumb in it! I automatically suck on it. I don’t even know why, honestly. But what the hell he go and do that for? He smirks, chuckling, looking at my family. “My name is Onyx and I’m Manuel’s Merman.” Then turns and stares hungrily at me. My younger sister gasps excitedly. “A Merman?! Whoa, cool! So you can like... hold your breath for a long time under water?”

The white haired merman with those enchanting Sapphire eyes looked up at him and the moment they locked eyes, Qykerth couldn’t look away and found himself drawn in. The merman rubbed his hands up the inside of Qykerth’s thighs and lift himself up out of the water. Qykerth’s eyes widened with his heart beat accelerating. The ice cold webbed hands moved to Qykerth’s hand that had the jellies in it.

"I’m being sincere. You probably don't know that this merman has abilities that other beast folk don't have. As long as you raise him with blood for 999 days, he can fulfill any wish for you. Even if you wanted the moon, this all-powerful merman would be able to get one for you. I want to give this merman to you because you'll be coming of age in less than ten days, so it’s the perfect gift.” Lyra beamed with joy and held Thalyx in her arms, her face glowing with excitement. However, Thalyx, who had been looking forward to being taken away by Lyra, started to fiercely struggle. I immediately went up and covered Thalyx's mouth. Ignoring the look of shock on his face, I ordered sternly, "Someo

I was lost in trance, lost in a world of my own with the sound of my heartbeat the only thing I could hear and feel. But, then again, it lasted only for a few seconds before a voice filled with whimper and pain pulled me out. Rough and harsh without any care. “I…won’t die alone, Vincenzo.” The voice muttered, his voice trembling and filled with so much anguish and resentment. “I must kill your wife. I have to carry out my duty assigned to me by the Italian Mafia.” After the voice, came a hand, filled with blood reaching out to me. Fear shot through my spine as I instinctively crawled backwards, away from the red hand covered in blood.
