The Immortal's Merman

🔱Chapter 20🔱

Guards running here and there along the streets, villages and forest looking for Tine on Luke's order. They searched everywhere they knew still they couldn't find him. Exhausted, some of the guards stopped and took a rest at a stall.

"You know, a day ago a very pretty boy came to shop to buy something, it was a bracelet but then since he was so pretty and good behaving I sold it at a lower price to him...I haven't seen someone so beautiful like that" a woman said to her fellow woman beside her and she nodded too. The guards over heard their conversation, since the same person they were looking for was also pretty like they described, they went to the woman who said that.

"Have you seen this person before" one of the guards asked showing her a drawn picture of Tine.

"Yes I have, he even came here a day ago to buy something..you know he was so happy when he came here"

"Did he say any other thing apart from buying things here" one of the guards asked.

"Well....not exactly but...oh yes, he asked me about a place,he said he heard from people...em what was that again..ah yes he said a river that heals something like that, maybe he went there I don't know"

The guards quickly thanked the woman and left hurriedly to the river since they knew the place it was. On reaching there found nobody not even Tine.

"Should we have believed that woman...look there's nothing here not even someone" he said and sighed "let's go back" he shouted to the others.

"Wait!...I see something"

"What"

The guards walked to the water and drew out an expensive looking material from the water, the guard checked the robe he drew out and it had a royal crest on it. Since they all knew Tine sometimes they saw him wearing those clothes. The guards dived into the water to search for thinking he drowned but saw nothing.

"Let's just take this back to third deity, he might know something" a guard said and the rest agreed with him and left.

Sarawat clutched the box the pearls were in as he walks with hurried steps to his mother residence in the palace. She was not in a good condition ever since the past two days. The imperial physician has done all he could but still no improvements on her. Sarawat entered her chambers, straight to her bed where she was laying and touched her forehead and then her hands, it was cold and her lips turning pale showing there's not much life left in her.

"All of you leave" Sarawat shouted at them. They bowed their head and left leaving him with his mother. Seeing all of them leave, he faced his mother caressing her hands.

"Mother it's me" he said as she opened her eyes that shows weakness in it.

"Don't worry you'll be okay after this, it will help you heal" he said as he brought out the pearls from the box, holding them with both hands then using all powers to refine them because it was no ordinary pearl. Once refined he put the melted pearls in a small vile bottle beside him.

He helped his mother up and gave her the substance in the bottle to drink. Immediately blue lights appeared around them blinding sarwat as he quickly closed his eyes, the lights shined for sometime before fading out. Sarawat opened his eyes only to see his mother glowing and looking younger than before.

Sarawat smiled touching his mother's hand, they looked so young no wrinkles or anything. She opened her eyes, her eyes looking beautiful like before"I don't feel weak or tired again Sarawat, how did you do that" she asked him as she sat up without any help. Sarawat smiled again and took a small mirror from her jewelry box and showed her.
