Orsgadts
Kigurst Mermaids

The journey up the giant rock crab is really quiet and feels long. The Cape of Waiting that Emune and his friends were heading to was located far south of the magical world. The five of them fell asleep after joking and interrupting each other all day. Horeen who disappeared after the embarrassing incident had not returned.

“You missed your mother, Leonz?” asked Emune who was lying next to Leonz.

“Yes. I'm definitely meeting Dad, right now. I miss them.”

Emune is tempted to ask who Leonz's father is but he holds him back.

“Who is your father?” ask Avena, join in on Emune and Leonz's conversation.

Emune glares. Avena shouldn't have asked that.

“My father is a human being. He is very handsome and kind. I will marry a man who is like Dad,” said Leonz excitedly.

“You hear that, Proner? There is no hope for you,” Avena mocked Proner.

Proner glares. He was lazy to argue and just threw a stern look at Avena. What did Avena mean to speak like that in front of Leonz? Leonz was a kid.

“You yourself how? Horeen said love, didn't she?” Proner asked in a scornful tone.

“A-what are you talking about? There is nothing like that,” Avena replied.

“You mean? You don't like Horeen?” ask Proner.

“Yes, not really. Aren't we all traveling companions?” asked Avena while laughing contrivedly.

“So? I thought you guys were compatible. Too bad,” said Emune. He talked to Leonz.

Avena flips her body and kicks Proner's sleeping ass leaning against the rock, not far from her. Proner swerved and threw him with a lump of dry earth.

After waiting for some time, Elric and the others' steeds arrived also where they parted ways with Emune and his small group. The gates of Eimersun kingdom they could reach this afternoon because their horses were already fresh and ready to run far.

Draxe nagged loudly, happy to meet Elric. Elric whispers to the horse that Emune is gone but will definitely return. The horse neighed softly as if it understood what Eric was saying.

“We leave now,” said Alfred.

Eric nodded. He once again looked to the point where Emune disappeared earlier this morning. He hopes his beloved girl does not experience anything bad on her new journey.

Led by Alfred, the party shot towards Eimersun. Alfred grinned, this was the first time they had quickly returned to Eimersun. He had already imagined the expressions of the two Elric parents who must have been surprised to see his son rush home.

“I think the rain will fall faster in Eimersun,” Alfred murmured while spurring his horse faster.

Goenhrad stared at the sky from the window of the highest tower of his palace. The ice covering the palace had already melted and returned to lake water. Since conquering Orsgadt, he has had no other pleasure than messing with Artamea and of course, screwing Yhourin. He was furious because there were fairies that disturbed his calm. If only he could get angry like this, let alone Yhourin.

Yhourin has been struggling in the basement since last night. He never even went up to their room. Goenhrad clucked in annoyance. His eyes began to sting and his head was in pain. He had to go to his room and take the light of the lives of the foolish women who were now waiting for him.

Goenhrad walked quickly down the stairs of the tower. He doesn't care about anyone he meets. His steps stopped for a moment in front of his room. He heard the flirtatious laughter of women brought by his man. A wicked grin appeared on his face. He came in and shut the door.

The sun soon set, they ran to the end of the promontory, a place said to be the gathering point of the mermaids. The beautiful torrent of sunset was slowly replaced by darkness. They were watching, waiting for the presence of the mermaids.

Sweet whispers began to be heard. Proner and Horeen were definitely straight up because they heard the voice of the woman who was seducing. The clap in the water grew louder, something had come to them.

Leonz made a small light over his hand and tossed it into the air. The light is only vague. The mermaids will blur if they see a bright light.

Leonz smiled, in front of him was already a long silver-haired beautiful mermaid with light blue scales. Four mermaids came closer and spread out, swimming in front of Emune, Proner, Horeen and Avena.

“I'm Leonz, descendant of the fairy Hertena. Give me five pearls of blood,” said Leonz authoritatively though his voice was still childish.

“Hayleonz Oruzyne, daughter of Erreandrey, you asked for something very valuable. We can't give it to you. Hard to remove it.” The mermaid turned around, dived away then reappeared to the surface. Every time his body appeared above the sea water, his scales gleamed.

“Difficult but by no means impossible, right?” Leonz stood up as if to challenge the mermaid.

The mermaid was sliding rapidly towards Leonz. The roar of water preceded in front of him then rose to form a high wave and was about to roll Leonz. The little girl did not flinch at all. He just sharpened his eyebrows and the waves returned to the sea.

The mermaid was surprised. The power of the fairy Hertena should not be taken lightly even though it was still that small.

“Make us happy to exchange for the pearls you want.” The mermaid pointed towards Leonz.

“Good.” Leonz gathered his friends and whispered. “Friends, choose your opponents and make them happy. Whatever happens, do not go down to the water.”

All nodded then chose the mermaid they were going to fight. It actually felt a bit strange because they initially thought they had to fight desperately with the mermaids but now instead had to comfort them.

“I think these mermaids are less picnic,” whispered Avena.

Emune smiled amusedly.

Proner doesn't know what to do. He was busy thinking about what a mermaid wanted. After his head felt deadlocked, he did not want to bother thinking anymore. The sword of light was now in his grasp. He showed attacking movement, defending while running and jumping. The action ends with a salto in the air and lands perfectly on the sand.

The mermaid in front of Proner clapped his hands happily. He swam and dived and jumped out of the water. His hand held out a round, red object. It was a blood pearl.

When Proner took it, the mermaid held Proner's hand. With a seductive gesture he half climbed onto the rocks, showing off his sexy upper body without any cover to Proner. Proner cough small. He pulled his hand slowly and smiled at the mermaid.

“Thank you. Maybe next time,” Proner said while blinking. He waved as the mermaid left.

“Genit,” says Avena, Emune and Leonz.

“What? Rather than me making her angry and raging, it's better.” Proner whimpered, busy defending himself.

Leonz showed water magic to the mermaid in front of him. The mermaid gaped at the water in front of her showing the cities of Artamea, as well as its mountains and valleys. The mermaid who had never left the ocean had of course just this time seen such a thing. He clapped his hands happily and gave a pearl to Leonz.

Avena and Emune each showed different skill sets. Avena showed off her skills of making mermaids out of ice and handed a beautiful tiara out of ice to her rival mermaid. He easily obtained a pearl of blood.

Emune sings the love story of the light fairies she used to hear in Ulrych. Her beautiful voice managed to amaze the mermaid. Emune's job is over.

Horeen had somehow disappeared from their sight. It seemed like the fairy was embarrassed so she chose to stay away from her friends. Proner grinned because the sound from behind the boulder where Horeen and the mermaid sounded like two people making out. They waited a little while for the fairy to appear and handed the blood pearl to Leonz.

Leonz smiled happily because the blood pearl was already complete. They immediately walked away from Tanjung Penantian before the sea water covered the cape. He looked at Emune.

“Elqoz, wait for us,” said Emune and Leonz in unison.
