Chapter 3: Tanbrea's Serum

The sun is setting reflecting red and orange glow from the sky as well to the waters of the sea, in a blink of an eye Ethan followed the king’s instruction and brought them to the shore far from the palace. The shore was isolated and silent except for the mild waves drifting on their feet.

“Milady it would be best if you would stay in the ocean” Ethan advised to Meera. She momentarily closed her eyes and think of a way for her sister to survive.

“Gwyn” she uttered, her sister stared to her holding her hand.

“I should come and follow you Meera” Gwyn requested but her sister pulled her hand and hold her instead.

“You can’t stand to breathe in the water for too long” the cold salty breeze blew.

Meera removed her cloak and put it to Gwyn instead and looked at Ethan standing beside her sister “You should protect her no matter what happen, I’m aware that both don’t get along that well but I believe you know your duty as her protector” Ethan nodded and showed respect for both of the royals.

“But Meera, only Rin can accompany you, I can see Machi has an avian Lyze" Gwyn consistently find means to stay by her sister’s side but Meera was already firm on her decision.

“Yes I am” Machi claimed, he removed his suit and shoes and he started to reveal his Lyze, his inner shirt was torn by the small wings that emerged from his back. It resembles the bright metallic color of a hummingbird with a combination of glittering blue feathers aligned on his outer wings, his feet extends and claws grew on his toes.

“But take a look Gwyn” realizing his mistake as he saw Meera frowned being irritated on absence of his honorifics and corrected

“Lady Kaleen” Machi flapped his small wings in high speed and suddenly plucked a single feather. He walked past them and called them a little deeper to the water until the chilly water numbing the feet of non-aqua had reached their knees.

He dipped his feather and the water drifted apart providing an unseen barrier that prohibits the feather from being touched by the water like a bubble was around it.

“A rare ability Milady!” Charles pointed surprised from Machi’s uncommon ability.

Gwyn’s attention for her stubborn pleas was diverted to her curiosity “I've never thought somebody like you still exist” Gwyn said amazed.

“He would be enough to accompany me” Meera assured Gwyn and took her time for her transformation.

“Don’t worry milady I would take care of Lady Carrie” Machi proudly promised.

“I knew it” Gwyn smiled “Your nullity against aqua is something special and distinctive” she look back to Ethan who was also struck by the revelation.

“The ocean would be safe for Lady Carrie, there were just a few Tanbrea that has an aqua Lyze” Rin explained his small eyes showed satisfaction on his Mistress’ safety.

“We need to go” Meera insisted. She remove her shoes and ask to Rin to carry her, she close her legs together and as they attached their color changed and become lighter, her toes became smooth translucent light orange fishtail and peach-colored scales climbed from the tail to her waist; fins have also grown in her elbows and few scales emerged from her left cheek.

When her Lyze consummated, Rin carefully put her down to the waters, he removed his coat and had also changed to his aqua Lyze. Nothing seems to be obvious except for the gills that appeared to his neck and his feet became webbed.

Rin picked all their belongings and handed all their belongings to Charles. “Burn this” he instructed.

“It wouldn’t be advisable if we left anything that could track us” he continued and Charles agreed.
