A crowd of sirens gathered in the middle of the settlement to congratulate Aoi, Audrina, Zayn and Thania. Seen the look of the faces of those who bend to see the four important figures of the tribe must return away from their habitat. As if knowing the pressing insistence makes them have to go back to parting with allies that are very dear to them as well.
The glow of the child joias again radiated from behind the tubs containing the son joias they collected when Audrina first set foot in this valley. Their castle house also gave off a fairly bright light considering there were several tubs placed in there.
With the new shine of the diamond back, making sirens that had been silent in their castle, flocked out as well. That is a sign that Darias is around them.
"Do you guys have to go?" ask one of the male sirens with a braid of hair that resembles the pony.
Thania nodded, "right. We have to bring back the darias to the mainland."
"Alright, we hope you're safe back on land" the siren said.
"Thank you," this time it was Audrina who was scaring. Smiling displayed her slow-growing fangs, for some reason making her look sweet.
"You heard Vivian, Rui and the other elders' orders. No one is divided" Aoi told the sirens there. The direction of the voice he spoke until it went into all the pointed sirens.
The sirens nodded in understanding without. Aoi's strict and precise sentences are very easy to understand, plus there is a spirit realized in them without consciously making their hearts dusty.
After saying goodbye and tightening his position, Aoi and Thania hurriedly wagged their tails away from the crowd. Along with their moves, Audrina and Zayn did not forget to wave their hands as a form of goodbye. Even though they know the wave of goodbye is only for a while.
Their lambastes were also avenged by all the sirens that were there. Not a few who try to refrain from crying, there may be a sense of unwillingness in their hearts. Moreover, with the departure of the four people, then soon Vivian will give further instructions to face the enemy they hate.
"Hm, how long does the effect of this Amplia plant work?" audrina asked suddenly as they were already at the end of the settlement before entering the valley border.
Aoi blinked her eyes, her green irises appearing to look even wider than before. He had forgotten that Audrina and Zayn were not sirens like him, they could even breathe because they depended on the plant.
"As long as it hasn't inhaled oxygen on the surface, the effect won't fade."
Aoi replied with a straight forward look. Audrina who heard that answer was just a mangut-mangut while 'oh' ria. After that there was no more talk because Aoi and Thania had to focus on bringing them to the surface by lighting from their scales. In addition, they must maintain a low quality and netra to capture while avoiding attacks that may occur during the trip.
When it reached the crossroads, Aoi and Thania now moved side by side. Suddenly a very subtle little whistle came into their thickets, making them look at each other. Something's not right.
"Acounion? " (you heard it?) Thania whispered a little.
Aoi nodded, "Nai, fainetai or bagi strava." (Yes, something seems to be wrong) Aoi said equating the tone of Thania's speech.
"Ti preei na kanoume tora? " (What should we do now?) whispered Thania again.
"Prepei na epispsoume tin kinisi mas. Tha metroso mechri to tria kai meta tha kinithoume mazi. Kolympaei o pio grigoros mas, entaxei? " (We must accelerate our movement. I'll count to three and then we'll move along. Swim as fast as you can, okay?) aoi's orders while staring fixedly at Thania's widened green iris.
Thania nodded in understanding. Unlike Audrina and Zayn who look cengo with the conversation they both have. There was not a single sentence they understood at all. The two netra who did not understand the intent of the conversation met, casting a spotlight of confusion there.
Aoi and Thania stopped moving, making them float in the water surrounded by vines that moved smoothly following the currents in the water. Can be seen from the reflection of light that hit the surface of the leaves of the plant. Cliffs with large rocks are also seen stifling each other.
Silent.
No sound was heard there. Just the gentle whirring of underwater currents made the atmosphere even more gripping. Thin whistles that were once mutually unpretentious have disappeared. Aoi squinted her eyes, feeling her neck goosebumps from the cold that started piercing their skin.
"Both of you, hold on tight!" aoi was emphatic yet still heard by Audrina and Zayn who directly followed the order without questioning it.
Aoi touched Thania's shoulder slowly, while looking at her iris her eyes beckoned counting according to what she said earlier. Thania prepared her arms by stretching her tail, taking the best starting position.
"One, two—"
"...Three!"
On the count of three, Aoi and Thania quickly wagged their tails leaving a vortex of bubbles twisting from their tails. The rock on the cliff that fell earlier was more than enough to convince the two of them, that they were currently being followed. Sure enough, as they had already darted away a reddish dim light followed them from behind.
Without looking back, Aoi and Thania moved smoothly avoiding all obstacles towards the surface with their highly capable swimming power.

"Jacob, Roni, Daniel, you three check the back door! Make sure everything is locked up perfectly!" tio shouted while trying to hold the front door together with Jhonson and one crewman who had a large body named Abraham.
"Aye aye, sir! " sahut all three at the same time.
Tio's flushed face held back the door that was forcefully smashed, signaling the thrust exerted by the red sirens was immense. Not only Tio, the faces of Jhonson and Abraham seemed very wrinkled holding the door.
"Arnold, Frans and Hans you three check all the windows lest anyone open either!" tio's order again, "i need 3 more people to hold this door, the rest of you help the others!"
"Aye aye, sir! "
The crew of the ship began to break themselves into their duties according to the orders of tio, who inevitably had to take the role of a ship captain because, the captain of their ship had been killed by the sirens.
While the humans tried to lock themselves in from the inside, the red sirens led by Arios gave impetus to attempt to enter the core deck. Seeing the stubborn man continue to resist, Arios clenched her jaws furiously. Arios' current mind is to kill these humans and take over the ship, so that no living witness can ruin their plans.
"Push on! Don't let me step in!" arios shouted to his subordinate firmly. Those who were able to insist on it, naturally expended all of their energy while howling loudly made a dim-witted buzz.
Tio pulled away from the door. He plans to approach the ship's radio to contact the aid and provide a hazard warning to ports or ships that may be in their vicinity. Currently sending SOS signals is the best way to save them.
Tio's steps widened towards the radio room. Their last hope before actually having to come face to face with the dangerous mythological creature.
Arriving at the radio room, Tio quickly turned on the radio and looked for a signal broadcast that could capture their presence. But in fact, it's not that easy. All the radio channel broadcasts he tried to reach, no one answered. The sound that came out only sounded noise.
"Mayday.. Mayday.. 0AS-Ship 5389 need help here! "
"Mayday.. Mayday.. 0AS-Ship 5389 need help here! "
Tio was constantly saying that sentence, but there was no reply at all. Desperation almost approached him, until the moment he stopped at the eighth broadcast.
Pips.pip..
Frkkk.krkk..
"H-ha.be.."
Tio's face that had bent finally sparkled back when he heard the voice of someone who answered the signal he sent. Tio quickly resumed repeating his sentence, this time with a higher octave of voice so excited, while playing the radio button to adjust the radio broadcast that captured the signal.
"Mayday.. Mayday.. 0AS-Ship 5389 need help here! "
With a strong heartbeat, Tio waited for a response from the receiver. He breathed a sigh of relief, while continuing to hope that they would survive.
Help will be here soon, he thought.
