Water brushed past her lashes, she blinked her eyelids closed to get rid of the saltiness from her eyes. Rasmei held Jake's shoulders tightly, pressed her chest closer to him as the movement of Tsurak moved across the water flow. They glid fast, fast forward without thinking of anything else as the Olo'eyktan and the Tsahik leaded their way to the outside reef.

The Tulkuns were in danger and at the same time that Ronal needed protection for her spirit sister. In Rasmei's heart, she was wishing that the Great Mother was going to protect her Tulkun with all cost because those thing didn't deserve to be dead and the bond between the Tulkuns and their Spirit Siblings were strong that they could feel deep in their bone if anything ever happened to anyone of them.

She didn't know how many times it took to get there but it was really far away from the reef that almost reached to the other villages that were living beside the space and the outside reef was where most of the dangerous creatures were roaming around but no one wasn't exactly scared to fear now. They had eyes over to the floated Tulkun that has no movement of her fin, her tail wouldn't flap or even felt lively.

Rasmei's hand went to her mouth, shocked at the fact that whatever that happened now has just gotten out of hand. Ronal widened her eyes as she recognized her own spirit sister was being murdered right in the middle of the sea. Her eyes filled with denial and a slight of anger while her mind was fighting as if what she was seeing was real.

She carefully swam over to the Tulkun after slipping off the Tsurak, touched it delicately with her hands, and stroked the curves of its skin. Rasmei followed her gaze to the fin, where a handful of the orange-colored floating balloons appeared to have been shot directly into the skin, preventing the Tulkun from swimming quickly before they made the decision to butcher them alive. It was incredibly terrible to even carry out anything like this in murder, and Rasmei found it difficult to even look directly at all the Tulkuns the RDA were killing. Not just one but the other that laid and floated scattered all over the water.

What went even worse than this was that Ronal's Tulkun only had her calf in the first year after waiting for many breeding circles, but they slaughtered the mother and her child couldn't survive without his mother. Their eyes rolled back, and their body lost vitality in life since there was no longer any hope. The storm that just passed through has left the sky overcast, but the sun never emerged from the clouds as the Great Mother had said would happen on the day the Tulkuns would be killed.

Jake's hand laid on Rasmei's knees as he could scent the worriedness radiated through her body as she moved her face over to the other murdered Tulkuns and only two who had been swimming around also felt disbelieving that their family had been gone. She wondered if this was what Payakan felt like when Lo'ak told the story to her.
