Darkness is an entity that the universe have

-------------------------------------

Kaizo walk through the corridor. His head hang low.

"Why Axion didn't say anything about the monsters?" Kaizo thought to himself.

He stopped at the balcony and looked at his mother laughing with Axion. 

"Looks like you two getting along well" said Kaizo as he walks towards them

"Oh, yes. We were talking about you" said Kaizo's mother

"Me?" said Kaizo

His mother chuckled. "I never thought you would be very jealous if your girl get close with another man" 

Kaizo blush. "Well.... I have responsibility to protect her"

"See?. He's very protective" said Axion. And they both chuckled. Leaving Kaizo's face even red.

"Well then, I'll give you two some space" said Kaizo's mother as she leave with a smile.

Kaizo let out a sigh

"Your mother is very nice" said Axion, starting a conversation.

"Yeah. She's the best" said Kaizo. He lean on the railing and gaze on the horizon

"What's wrong?" Axion ask

"Why didn't you tell me you know something about the Nagas?" Kaizo flatly ask

Axion startled for a moment but soon calmed down. She immediately know Kaizo got information from Vion.

"I don't want to take risk by jumping into conclusion without seeing things myself. Sometimes, just because they're similar doesn't mean they're all the same. Azeroth is an old world that's always busy with wars. They have advanced magic but extraterrestrial journey has never been in their league. I need more data to be sure, about how to deal with those monsters" said Axion

"I see....."

Axion suddenly turn her head towards the lagoon. 

come........

Axion sharpen her eyes. Something is calling her.

come dance with her.....

Whispers like Banshees..... No. Singing like Sirens.

Heir of the dark throne

Axion flinched.

Kaizo looked at Axion. She's been staring at the lagoon for a while.

"What's wrong?" Kaizo ask

"Nothing. I thought if I sharpen my eyes, I can see The monsters from here" said Axion

Kaizo chuckled. "You need binoculars" 

 ------------------------------------------------------------- 

Later that night, Axion went out alone. 

I have a feeling about the lagoon. Axion thought to herself as she sneak outside. 

She run towards the lagoon and hide behind a bush. She wear her helmet and scan the area. Axion was shocked. Nagas, Sirens, Gorgons, Murlocs. Many kinds of water creatures are there. 

Strange.... How can creatures of different race act as one? Axion wonder as she keep looking at the lagoon. 

They all act like beast. Following their instinct and have no intelligence. Yet, they can arrange themselves to act as one. Like how different kind of demons serve under one king in Axion's dark realm. 

That's it!!. Axion exclaimed in her mind.

If they act like my demons, then  they must have someone or something to follow. Something to control them. Think. What do they follow? A queen? A king?

And that's when she hear them singing 

Axion was mesmerized by the song that she almost followed it.

Suddenly, a hand tap her shoulder. Bringing Axion back into reality. She looked back to find Kaizo behind him.

"Kaizo?! How?" She whisper

"What are you doing here?" Kaizo whisper back

Axion pulled Kaizo to hide behind bushes beside her.

"I was curious" said Axion

"You could've took me with you" said Kaizo. "Why did you go alone? I thought we agreed not to leave without telling each other"

"Something bothers me" said Axion

Kaizo looked closely at her. But Axion keep on looking at the lagoon as if she's drawn to it. From the middle of the lagoon, a Naga emerges. 

"I suppose that must be the leader" said Kaizo

"A Queen. And unlike the rest of the monsters, she's smart" said Axion

From afar, they can see the Naga queen giving orders to all creatures at the lagoona. Few female Naga stay by her side.

Axion looked at the lagoona's water

"I need to touch the water" said Axion

"How? This place is full of monsters. You can't go there" said Kaizo

"Even just a tip of my finger will do" Axion reply. I need to touch that water with magic. 

"Too risky. Let's head back and think of another plan" said Kaizo.
