"Lionel!" A shout jolted Lionel from his sweet slumber.
Lionel hurried from His bed and put on his armour.
He lived in his very own quarter in the home of the royal family of elves.
West Tower.
He bowed in front of the king"My liege you called for me"
The king popped a grape in his mouth.
Lionel rolled his eyes,he didn't have time for this.
"Did you release the siren you captured yesterday?"
The question hit Lionel like a poisoned Arrow.
Poisoned with the anger of his king.
"Yes,my king"
"Disgraceful behavior, Lionel,you of all people.
My man of honour stooped so low as to releasing our enemies" The king shouted, rage coursing through his veins.
"I'm sorry,my lie-" A slap knocked Lionel to the floor,he hadn't even seen it coming.
"I want that siren's head even if it means diving into the whole Pacific to find it" The king continued.
Underwater? What'd thus guy think he was anyway
A human fish?
"B..But sir" The kings hand swerved to hit Lionel's cheek but Lionel caught it mid air.
"I will follow your exact orders sir" He let go of the kings hand and the King scoffed at him.
****************************
It had been a long night at the council meeting of the elves current attack.
The meeting was held to find out how to fight back.
He had heard stupid ideas all night.
"I say we take pebbles and shoot it at every living elf on the surface" A siren suggested.
"I say we throw living eels at those fools" Another siren suggested.
"I say..." Uhhh!The king of the seas was always been busy since his coronation.
He wanted to be called his normal name Dave not king of the seas all the time.
He wanted peace.
Those elves had been doing creepy things to mermaids nowadays.
Sirens were being killed daily lately.
He heard elves killed mermaids and ate it.
He heard humans captured them and made them cry since their tears were pearls.
Their blood were treats to vampires.
It seemed sirens had various uses.
His former informant had Vestain visited the surface.
He visited an elf opera at the theater.
The elf's voice was heavenly.
His informant later got to know that they killed a siren,took its voice box and attached it to the elf's voice box.
Cruel.
He didn't realise he was crying till a Pearl dropped out of his eyes.
"Damn things" he said, fiddling with the pearl.
"Davey,what's wrong?" If it wasn't his loving wife Eileen.
"Nothing. Its a few pearls,doesn't mean I'm crying"
"Yes,it does. So what's wrong?"
Dave drew in a long breath and sighed "Elves"
"Should've guessed,Dave,don't worry about it.
You stress yourself too much" Eileen said,giving him a warm smile.
"I'm a king,I have to worry"
"Forget those fools,Davey,one day the great invasion my father planned to eliminate those fools will be accomplished" she lifted his chin with her index finger.
"I promise"
Dave smiled"Thanks Eileen,but hey where's Vicky?"
"Haven't seen her since you slapped her"
He scratched his neck"Sorry,bout that I'll send my guards after her immediately"
