Love In Sirens
Meet Amber

All the sirens that were there started to move from one place to another while collecting the children of joias. No one realized that all this time they lived around the expanse of stone joias. That is the most conditional reason why they are still alive today, it seems thanks to joias who is on their land.

If you remember the words Aoi used to say, where he said that joias is a supporter of life and their ecosystem, this is one proof. Joias really means a lot to the life of the lake siren.

Faintly from a distance, a group of soldiers walked closer to the lower castle settlement towards where the five of them were currently. One of the sirens approached them while squabbling. Vivian slowly responded to the siren by nodding in response to report to them immediately.

"Mr Vivian, the great lady of Amber is waiting for you at the castle" said one of the male sirens, who has algal blue fins with brownish scales and some scars on his face. It seemed like the result of the battle he had fought in the past.

Vivian nodded in understanding, "well. We will be heading there soon," Vivian replied as she gestured for the siren army to return.

Half of the soldiers returned to the castle while the rest were in charge of escorting the rombonhan, leaving the other half there. Vivian also gave orders to several soldiers to help gather joias with other sirens. While the rest accompanied the five of them to the castle to meet Amber.

Zayn continued to hold onto Thania's hand, as did Audrina who continued to hold Aoi's arm to always be near her. The main reason is because those who do not have diving experience, let alone get to the bottom of the lake as it is today. Let alone diving, swimming usually they are in trouble because of the pressure of the water that is there.

"Thania, what kind of person is Amber?" zayn asked slightly in a whisper, curious about the figure that had accidentally sounded into his ear.

Thania turned to look at Zayn's curious face, "Amber is the most respected and respected elder among the lake sirens. He was our advisor as the oldest siren here" Thania explained.

"Your droves?" ask Zayn again.

Thania chuckled softly, "you could say so."

"Wow, means old dong?" he nodded without thinking.

"Make no mistake, she who has lived for centuries is very beautiful."

Zayn flinched, "really?"

Thania nodded steadily to give the final answer from Zayn's words, which were answered by the mangut-mangut anyway while continuing to circulate his gaze around. It was as if he could still not forget the beauty of this valley.

Aoi pulled Audrina's plan which still held joias' heart in her right hand. The diamond must be held by him for his children to appear and expose the light.

Arriving in front of the castle, Vivian walked towards the main door of brown color decorated with gold carvings such as leaf patterns and roses. Approximately the height of the door is about 3 meters with a width of 2 meters.

Vivian walked to the right side of the door and pressed a golden button. After the button is pressed, a square marble stone appears golden also with a crescent and rose pattern around it.

Vivian taped the five nails of her right hand, then scratched them on the stone in line with the five winding lines on top of it. Then, Vivian pressed around the five square shaped stone that was sticking out.

Krakk...

The door opened. Vivian moved back towards Thania. After the big door was perfectly opened, they entered the castle through a long hallway.

At the end of the hallway is a light that displays a fairly large room. In the middle of the room was a long glass table and hanging decorations on it.

The moment they entered the room, it turned out that Amber had been waiting for them there along with the other two elders.

"Greetings, Audrina."

Amber greeted Audrina while displaying her smile. Audrina lowered her head to accept the greeting Amber gave her.

"Greetings, Amber."

Amber's view is now on Zayn. A confused face from Amber for not recognizing her. The unconscious Zayn finally introduced himself.

"Greetings, Amber. Introduce me Zayn, " said Zayn politely.

Amber smiled, "greetings, Zayn. Welcome to the blue castle."

Zayn returned Amber's smile kindly. Amber wagged her tail slowly approaching Audrina and stopped in front of her.

"I thank your mother, Audrina. It turns out that she has given birth to you as her offspring. After her departure I just knew the last message that was meant was you" said Amber, holding Audrina's shoulders and hugging her gently.

Audrina returned the hug, "what was your last message?" audrina asked after letting go of her embrace.

Amber smiled, then turned around and moved closer to the glass chair behind the table and said, "let them celebrate extinction, it will turn around as we want. I'll make sure of that."

Audrina. The memory of his mother seemed to reappear in his mind. Aoi embraced Audrina trying to comfort her.

"I used to not know the meaning because before you were born 20 years ago, your mother was declared barren and could not have children."

The statement stuck Audrina's throat, she didn't expect it. So did Aoi, Thania, Vivian and Zayn.

"Then, how can Kena have offspring?" ask Vivian curiously.

Amber lowered her head, "Gideon disappeared after," said Amber, who made Thania open her eyes perfectly.

"W-what do you mean, Amber?" tanya Thania lirih's.

"Gideon gave up his bones and heart for Kena. At first Kena refused because it was the same Gideon had to die. But Gideon's stance and his determination to keep him from doing so, "said one of the elders named Aziel.

"Of course, he had also conferred with the elder above us. Although we finally knew this incident after Kena died," said Amber lirih.

"True," Aziel said again, "Because we don't even come back here again because we feel guilty for our people."

Amber raised her head, "after which I had a chance to meet her in a dream. That's the last word she said before she gave birth to you."

"After that what happened?" asked Audrina who was still curious.

Aziel shook his head, "he asked us not to see him again."

"really?"

Amber nodded, "the next meeting I saw Kena was gone."

Audrina lowered her head, hearing the story about her mother made her a little sensitive.

In addition, after hearing the story that Amber delivered made Thania a little relieved. He had thought that Kena deliberately did so without Gideon's consent. Fortunately, Amber and Aziel explained.

Aoi brought Audrina to sit on the glass chair as well as Zayn. However, as Zayn sat Amber stood back up in surprise.

"Do you eat the meat that the siren gives you with reddish fins?" amber asked Zayn and replied a nod by Zayn.

Amber approached Zayn worriedly and checked his back. Seeing Amber's unusual look on her face, Zayn is a little worried about her condition.

"W-can I go back to normal? I still want to be human" Zayn exclaimed.

Amber looked at Zayn wistfully, "I can give it back, ta-"

"really? Can I go back to being human again?" cut off Zayn before Amber goes on. Zayn's smile was flashing right now.

"Before, Amber had not finished speaking," Thania pressed down on Zayn's already excited shoulder first. Zayn grimaced a little, "continue Amber," cried Thania.

Amber sighed, "I can return it, but only part of it."

Aoi frowned, "meaning partly?"

Amber touches Zayn's scaly back, "he can't be a full human anymore. Just like Kena, he had eaten the concocted siren bone. I'm sure it's Gloria, only she can do this."

"What?" Audrina closed her mouth. He turned to look at Zayn who had been smiling loosely, gradually starting to limp.

Surely Zayn was very sad to hear he could not be human anymore and could only be half of it. Zayn drowned his face behind the hand he had placed on the glass table.

Everyone looked at Zayn with concern, seeing the unwanted changes happening to him must have made him very frustrated. What's more, the change happened also due to the cunning trick of the red siren. They were really very cruel and had no feelings.

Thania stroked Zayn's head slowly, "Zayn isn't it better than being a siren?"

Zayn did not respond. He still drowned his face without moving a bit. Now that his hopes were dashed, he did not want to be disturbed.

Thania took a slow breath. Then turned to look at Vivian and Aoi alternately, trying to ask for help to comfort Zayn.

Aoi approached Zayn, "at least you can continue to be with Audrina. Isn't that what you want, Zayn?" said Aoi.

Zayn slowly raised his head, looked at Aoi who was next to him then looked at Audrina who was looking at him worriedly as well. Zayn frowned, trying to keep his eyes from crying.

Actually, he agreed with what Aoi said just now. But the other reality is just as important to him. Zayn lowered his head trying to accept himself at this moment.

"Zayn, that's right Aoi said. We can keep together until anytime. You don't feel sad anymore huh," Audrina exclaimed with a smile to Zayn.

Zayn turned to look at Audrina who was smiling at him. He let out a slow breath and turned to Amber.

"h-huh. At least I can still be human, even if in part," said Zayn lirih.

Amber and Aziel smiled at Zayn's words. The courage and determination of his heart made him able to accept the line that suddenly had to be passed by him made the whole room feel touched and proud.

Despite his fear, Zayn tried to accept his current situation. Of course, it should be accompanied by support from others.

"Well, we'll give you the potion after this" Amber said in a soft voice.

Zayn smiled slightly, "thank you Amber."
