The deeper they dive, the darker the surroundings. The sunlight could not enter this deep because it was blocked by the surging water. Audrina tightened her grip on Aoi, fearing that she would get lost in the dark of the lake.
His uneasy feeling now dissipated when a certain dot of flippers and scales from the sirens and Zayn began to emit their own light. The reflection of the light made the state of the lake that was pitch-black to become a luminous light. The flickering of the surrounding stone walls also makes the atmosphere in the water more beautiful, like the stars in the night sky.
Zayn and Audrina who saw that were stunned to the point of being speechless. Seeing them feeling amazed and fascinated by the underwater beauty, Vivian beckoned Aoi and Thania to go through the twisting route so that they could see this atmosphere for even longer. Aoi and Thania who understood wagging their tails followed Vivian who was now already leading in front.
"Wahh, what a beauty," the sentence spontaneously came out of the mouths of Zayn and Audrina.
They occasionally see some fish swimming past them and some drift away for fear of being eaten by passing sirens. Sometimes they see like a tree floating but its roots are embedded in the edges of the cliffs that are in the water.
"I didn't know that the lake was this deep, Aoi," said Audrina who had just looked around in amazement.
Aoi smiled as she continued to stare straight ahead, "actually, each lake has its own uniqueness. There are some beautiful lakes that only have a depth of 30 meters, until sunlight can still penetrate it like Lake Tondano."
"..There are some beautiful lakes that have underwater charm that have parks such as Green Lake Gruner See in Austria" he continued.
Then Aoi slightly moved more inwardly making Audrina a little jolted due to that sudden movement. Aoi pulled Audrina's body in front of her, making Audrina have to hug Aoi's neck and Aoi's hand coiled around her waist.
Aoi glanced down, looked at Audrina's face and smiled again.
"But, they only highlight the beauty under the perfect lake. They didn't want the news of the darkness of the lake sticking out, because their fear was so great," Aoi continued her explanation making Audrina again curious.
"They're who?" ask Audrina.
"Global elites in the upper world. They just cover vast human knowledge with beauty and bury other curiosities from being the center of attention" Aoi replied.
Audrina again thought, "why did they do that?"
"Eitherway. Perhaps because they could not touch the darkness under the lake and of course because of that they could not find any advantage. Something that's not profitable, won't be popular, will it?"
"Just because they can't benefit they limit the insights?" Audrina frowned waiting for Aoi to answer.
Aoi sighed softly, "the darkness under the lake and the creatures living within it are a myth. They refuse to prove it because it would threaten their position if real history is revealed. That's how it is."
Aoi closed her explanation then refocused following Vivian who was leading in front. Audrina, who seemed to understand Aoi's intentions, turned her head around, not wanting to pass this opportunity.
Zayn seems to be enjoying his journey very much at the moment. Sometimes he tried to reach the aquatic animals and plants they passed. Thania, who led Zayn to make him laugh often, saw Zayn's child-like behavior, who was first invited around the zoo by their parents.
"Thania, what is it?" zayn asked Thania for the umpteenth time.
Thania turned to Zayn, "it's mussels, freshwater mussels" replied Thania who was not tired of answering Zayn's question who was very curious.
Zayn's designated clam gave off an exquisite bluish glow. As Zayn tried to touch it, the clam moved away and into the sidelines of the vines growing on the rocks.
Zayn just chuckled at it, then turned his attention back to another object he thought was unfamiliar and had never seen before.
Thania flicked her tail back and tightened her hold onto Zayn, a slight twisting motion making Zayn close his eyes spontaneously. That twisting motion left a circle of water bubbles behind them.
Feeling that Thania was swimming more calmly, Zayn slowly opened his eyes. That last twisting motion brought them into an amazing underwater valley. Even Zayn and Audrina did not blink their eyes at the slightest sight of this place.
"Welcome to our house, the lake-bottom blue castle named Kstro ble linnis," exclaimed Vivian as she opened her arms proudly showing their residence.
An extremely beautiful blue light shone from every building formed from the rocks of the lake. A few sirens seemed to be passing by and doing something and seemed very busy. Flickering like fireflies that adorn around the valley makes the place seem very beautiful and luxurious at the same time.
Spreads of glowing stones such as rubies and diamonds adorn the bottom of the lake where the castle stands. Makes anyone want to touch those beautiful stones.
Of every castle building that is there, there is one of the largest and tallest building. It was the place where Amber and the other elders were left silent. They're heading there right now.
The closer they got to the castle, the more sirens paid attention to them. Sirens who had been busy with their work, immediately stopped and welcomed the arrival of the five of them enthusiastically.
"Chairetismouse se sas," said greetings to the five of them from every siren passed by them.
Audrina only smiled and occasionally waved to the sirens. Zayn also occasionally waved his hand trying to greet the other sirens who were looking at them.
Seen some siren children waving to them, "chairethmata se esas anthropous, este troso goiteftikos, " (Greet you humans, you are so charming) said the little sirens with enthusiasm and a small laugh.
Thania and Vivian understood their feelings for the sirens, sometimes Thania and Vivian also pinched the children's cheeks.
Along the way to the castle of elders, they are always greeted by curious sirens with friendly, enthusiastic, friendly and cheerful. A completely different attitude saar met a sombre and suspenseful red siren.
Until arriving at the last two blocks before the castle, one of the sirens approached them with an astonished expression. Seeing the look of that astonished face, Vivian looked back.
"Aoi, what's that light?" vivian asked puzzledly as he pointed to Aoi's chest.
Aoi looked in the direction Vivian pointed at. Instantly Aoi rounded her eyes, it turned out that the direction she was pointing was right inside her chest where she kept the joias heart stone.
The blue light from joias filled his chest, then he took out the stone slowly. Aoi turned her head towards Audrina who was right next to her.
"Ody, hold this joias. Looks like you've already triggered the presence of this joias heart," Aoi handed over the blue jade diamond to Audrina.
Carefully Audrina held onto the joias. As Audrina brought the stone closer to her chest, the previously calm water sighs began to roar unruffled, as if understanding what was present in their midst at this moment.
Thania and Vivian slightly moved away from where Audrina and Aoi were at the moment. Zayn was also pulled back by Thania because he felt that something was going to happen there.
The sirens that were greeting earlier started to swarm behind Thania and Vivian, feeling curious about what was going on.
"Isn't that joias?"
"Is he daria?"
"He's Kena's descendant?"
"Is he really daria?"
"Jonias is glowing!"
"Darias is alive!"
"The woman turned out to be from there!"
There was excitement from the sound of all the sirens there right now. Some cried with excitement knowing that other darias were still alive and not extinct. A sense of relief now began to envelop them, visible from their faces that shone cheerfully.
Audrina looked at the sirens who were happy about her presence then looked at Aoi who was smiling warmly towards her.
The light joias released slowly began to dazzle the eyes, making all who were there close their eyes, except Audrina. The shock of the wave given joias made them slightly pushed back. Like a strong wind that hit the tree to make its leaves fall.
The light started to dim and all the closed eyes slowly began to open their eyes again.
The moment they opened their eyes, how shocked they were to see a glittering blue light begin to scatter around their castle. The small stones that were previously just like ordinary stones started to emit a blue light like Audrina's earrings at this moment.
The sirens were not aware that all this time, children from the heart of the blue joias were around them. Seeing the miracle, Vivian quickly told all the sirens to gather the young joias into a container.
"Thank you" one of the sirens, who seemed to be the same age as Thania, told Audrina.
Audrina smiled so widely, "sama," she happily exclaimed.
"Gather all the joias, there's nothing left!" yelled Aoi who made all the sirens hurry to obey her word.
A happy atmosphere began to be felt throughout the entire valley of St.
Aoi hugged Audrina until they slightly spun around in the water, "Audrina, you did it!" Aoi laughed happily.
Audrina accepted the hug with pleasure. Zayn was fascinated by the beautiful sparkle that the boys released, he did not get to see the embrace. The focus has been taken over by the bright shining beauty of joias.
Currently, joias blue has managed to find his twin with the help of Audrina. Hopefully it will be easier in the future.
