Galloping Legacy

Episode 13

USE YOUR HEAD

"Alright. If anything happens to this precious one, I'll choke you to death," Dong Wook threatens before shoving in a young man with brown hair and emerald fins towards them, and the young man swims towards them.

"I'm Choi Yeonjun! And I'll be with you guys! It's a pleasure to meet you!" He says and Seokjin looks at the young man.

"How old are you? You look... super young," He asks and Yeonjun looks up.

"Uh... I'm almost turning 115... I'm the same age as Beomgyu!" He says and Beomgyu nods before swinging an arm around the other one.

Mers can live up to 100-600 years. So basically reaching 100 is like the beginning of a very long youth for mers.

"Yeonjun is keen with scent and sight. He may help you both, so don't get him lost," Dong Wook says and Namjoon nods.

It was already nighttime and the group of boys were already getting ready to go to the surface so they could finally retrieve the kelpie.

"And remember, a kelpie can be violent. Once it's hunger for a human grows, they'll hunt them, lure them, and drown them. Luckily, you're immune to them," Dong Wook says before looking at them.

"Now that everything is good, I can go now. Take care you guys. Remember what I taught you guys!" He says before giving them a smile, and the boys smile back before waving at them.

Once Dong Wook has finally swam away, Namjoon sighed before looking at the Mer's Pearl in his palm.

"According to my calculations, we currently in the middle of a very wide sea, and near the ocean. We'll have to swim to the shore were the kelpie ended up. Yeonjun, can you smell the direction?" Namjoon asks as he takes out a human ticker. Well, he calls it a human ticker when it's supposed to be a compass.

"Well, the scent of a kelpie can be strong, and it could be a bit hard considering the fact that we have to travel across the sea. But depending on how strong the smell is, I can smell someone atleast 1 kilometer away," Yeonjun says and Namjoon nods.

"Beomgyu is bringing some of our stuff since we'll swim all the way, but do we have any idea where we should go?" Namjoon asks.

"I do have an idea. Namjoon, what's the nearest island in this sea?" Seokjin asks and Namjoon looks around looking up the surface beneath them.

"I have a hunch it's this island called Korea. I read it in a book that was sogged up in a wrecked ship. We're currently in a sea near Korea so we could go there," Namjoon says.

"I mean, kelpies don't go that far. They would be so hungered with humans that they would have to travel short," Namjoon explains and Seokjin nods before looking at the two young boys.

"Okay everyone, stick with me, and place your eyes on this beautiful tail, so you wouldn't get lost, you'll have to follow me," Seokjin smiles and everyone nods before following the oldest, whilst being guided by Namjoon as they exit the village they lived in.

"O-oh...."
