Bonds of souls

Bottom of the Sea

The emperor of the ocean tribes is horrified to see his son throwing himself backwards in front of the human, protecting her from the attack by using his body as a shield, causing him to be seriously injured.

Taking advantage of his father's stupor and moved by the desire to get away safely with the human, he does the unthinkable and strikes him with his tail.

Being stunned by wounding his son and the unexpected act, the emperor ends up being thrown back by the force of the blow while the youngest made the lotus-shaped fins bloom and the tip of his tail also at the same time as the scales they glowed brightly.

He flees like a bolt of lightning out of the water where the storm had stopped and, breaking the surface, he flies into the sky.

The princess manages to get air into her lungs and after taking a few breaths of air, she is astonished to see that they are flying. The young woman confessed that she never imagined that demons with tails had their own way of moving outside their environment, not knowing that he could use legs whenever he wanted.

The demon master noticed that the shine on the scales became even more attractive and under the incidence of the sun, the scales gained an even more shiny appearance as the breeze blew through them at the same time that the tail continued to float with lightness and majesty in the air. rarefied as if in water.

The young woman was fascinated to the point that she didn't mind being in his cold arms in contrast to her warm skin. From her point of view, the merman was shockingly beautiful and she questioned whether it was something typical of his species according to what the scrolls said about the transcendental beauty of the jiaoren.

Taken by the beauty in front of her, the human allows herself to bring her fingertips to his cheek, touching it lightly.

As she did this, the princess had the strangest feeling that she was being disrespectful because she had the impression that she was touching the face of some deity or even Buddha and, faced with this unusual thought, she quickly withdraws her hand.

For some reason, she could feel that this jiaoren's soul was very pure and as she reflected on it, she realized that it was true because that feeling didn't leave her for a moment.

The princess recalls that she only read about fairy-like monsters in illustrated books and scrolls whose contents were considered merely a fantasy because by common consensus, there was no way a demon could be a fairy in the field of purity of soul as propagated by the Common knowledge, however notorious, was the existence of godly monsters towards humans while for demon masters, all demons were evil and there were no good monsters, thus justifying their extermination and enslavement without any exception or analysis.

But as she looked at him and as she interacted with the merman, the princess firmly believed that it was not fantasy, but the truth. At least, regarding the jiaoren in front of her.

After all, after living in court and witnessing absurdities and injustices, in addition to interacting with several people although she rarely interacted with monsters, the young woman could speak with conviction that the soul of this demon was pure as if it were a fairy.

The princess comes out of her thoughts, raising her eyes and as she does so, the young woman sees that his face was lifted, looking with determination forward and as she realized that he had used magic for her to be protected from the gust of wind by his flight, the princess decides to ask a silly question when she sees how high they fly, ignoring the fact that she had created a nickname for him because she felt comfortable, "I would like to know, big-tailed fish. If I use my magic and get wet your tail, you can fly even higher. Maybe even the sky?" She asks as she smiles.
