(DripOnBooks Store, Maimbourg)

The most popular orator, Biblab, continued the story that bound the little children birthed by the mer-zens five years ago. 

This was how a random day would be spent in the Kingdom of Maimbourg- casual, fun, jovial, easy and free.

Maimbourg- derived from the word, 'Maim' which translates to water, the elixir of life, was one of the main towns of the Capistalia Colony in the 1300s. It was until 1450, when the soldiers of Maimbourg formed a union and fought for their freedom, creating this beautiful and harmonious kingdom- the Kingdom of Maimbourg.

"And then, the monster said that he shall not spare anyone there! But right then, the King got there and using his powers, defeated him!" Applauses and Ooo's filled the library as the children giggled. Suddenly, one of them rose up on his marble seat. No one was surprised though. It was just his baby tail growing. Everyone congratulated him as this was a milestone in a mer-child's life every two years. Every two years, their tails would grow 8 centimetres.

Meanwhile, chaos broke out by the welcoming of evil forces on the other side of the august and majestic Kingdom of Maimbourg.

(Royal Palace)

(The Queen's Quarters)

"Queen! Queen! Please do something!" Three royal mer-guards had come swimming across through the west depths of the ocean.

Celeste, who was in her vacuum chamber, in her human form, reading a book while doing yoga afloat in the system, immediately halted and questioned, "What's the matter, Lucas?"

"Tranargus is here again, Queen!" They all said in unison with an evident shade of anxiousness and fright.

She grew her gradient-filled gold and smudged royal tail and discarded her clothes once her scales covered her body and let her hair open and ripple as she got ready to get out and protect her people. Grabbing her sceptre, she stated, "I'm leaving, send me his coordinates. Deploy the Platinum-belted mer-guards on the North exit right away!"

"Yes, Queen!" The mer-guards sent the coordinates of the ocean where Tranargus was to Celeste right then. This was through telepathy. It's the fastest and clearest way of transmitting information in the waters of the world.

The entire gathering scrammed in different directions to get to their positions.

Celeste made her way to the Northern waters. Her tail moving up and down, pushing the strong current and waves of the ocean water. Royalty did her a favour and made her body stronger than the others, which is also why she was the one who was swimming the fastest right now.

When she got there, she was greeted in the ugliest way by Tranargus- The merciless, surprisingly smart but dull sea monster, who wanted to take over the throne and rule over Celeste's kingdom. "Well, a beautiful sight to my eyes, Princess," he smiled with his dagger-like teeth on display.

"Go away before I fire you away, monster!" Celeste warned him.

His huge greenish-grey tail flapped as he came forward, "Give me the throne-stone and the crown, and then you're free." He had a smirk plastered on his disgusting and scary face which got wiped right off as Celeste struck a punching-intensity spell through to him using her sceptre. That wasn't powerful enough though. He didn't even bear a scratch.

They both fought with all their might. He threw a bolt from his palm which Celeste dodged.

"You can run all you want but I will find you, 'for now, Princess'."

While Tranargus was busy taunting her, a bright flash blinded the five oceans along with a huge wave of tremor and he got hit with a shocking spell. The monster let out a loud groan, his deep and layered voice pierced through the entire dimension's ears.

Celeste got back up on her balance, groaning, "That's Queen to you, monster! 'Queen Celeste' for your next three lives."

Tranargus gets knocked out as her sceptre unleashed another spell.

He fell right into a coral reef. These were highly poisonous to sea monsters, created by nature so as to neutralize their strengths with this one weakness.

"Guards, cage him there. Don't pluck the coral reef. Let him rot in there."

"Yes, Queen!"

(Meanwhile on England soil)

"Ayo Demon!" Joe squeaked, earning a well-deserved glare from his fellow passenger. "Why do you wish so dearly to get thrown out of this moving car?" "Why so serious-" "What is it? Tell me already," Damien sighed while checking the stock market.

"Are you planning to go to the welcoming party of Mr Ciocchi?" Joe asked Damien, to which he replied, "Ah! Venice... That's like 1200 kilometres away... I don't know. Besides, that old hag doesn't even invest without whining!" 

"Dude, he has 13% of our shares. We've gotta treat him well." "I don't think I'll be able to resist myself from throwing a fit in front of him if he swallows me with his daughter's praises again."

Joe conveniently ignored his last sentence and yelled in excitement and accidentally breaking the wine glass in his hands because of it.

"So, we're going to Venice! Yay!"

(2 hours later, back in Maimbourg)

"What do you plan on doing now, Queen?" the worried advisor asked Celeste.

Witty and organized Celeste already had the answer to her question, "I shall now go to my love. Finding him and protecting him is the only way my kingdom shall prosper."

"Tranargus is swift. He'll do the math and try to reach out to him before me. I must not let that happen. I need to get to him first." She thought while resting and chewing on the grapes.

"I didn't quite get you, Queen. Your love?"

"Damien Ashford"
