Malevolent Mermaid

"His Return is Bad News!"

This was a whole roller coaster of emotions for Ianthe.

It was the exact scene she had seen in her nightmares.

The same person, the same face, the same energy surrounding both her and Decimis.

She crossed her fingers and closed her eyes this was all going to be over soon and that she would wake up from this.

No matter what, pinch her, hit her, this all seemed unreal.

It was impossible for her to open her mouth and belt out a single word as "hello" to him to make sure and convince herself that he was real and really just standing there in front of her, using his power to take control of the waves, to spread them around with a flick of a finger, like he did her feelings, without even thinking twice.

He had destroyed who she was, and he came back when she had rebuilt herself.

"Surprised to see me?"

For Ianthe this was unreal, he spoke, it was him. His voice.

That makes her get even more emotional.

But that one question still remains the same, she wanted to ask him something she already knew the answer to.

"I thought you were....

Dead?"

She bursts out a silent cry. And there she was weak for him again. All of the walls she had built up were destroyed again.

"Evil doesn't die Ianthe. Weakness does. And it dies along with the one carrying it."

"Hold on a moment, you tell me about it?"

He laughs

"Well you know, that day, i did not die. It was you that died, but figuratively, and not that you did not know i was going to make it out alive. You knew exactly what my plan was, right love?"

The "Love" word circled in her head a few hundred times.

She was shattered. But she was not going to let him have it this time. She was going to act tough in front of him till she mastered that.

"And? What did you gain in return?"

"This is what i have been talking about so far. I am sure i had not touched your intelligence?"

"The thing is, as long as i am around here,Your power will forever be weak.
I will take back rightfully all that was mine. And this time, there will not be a single power to save you anymore, you along your evil acts will be dead.
I will destroy your spirit Decimis Imperium!"

"And who will do that? An Ocean Nymph covered in flowers and glitter?"

Ianthe just gives him a chuckle without saying anything and turns around to leave.

He knew he had advantage over her now, he sends a big pile of waves, making her return right back next to him.

This causes her to lose balance which makes it easier for Decimis to pull her back to the place.

"Who said i was finished?"

"Do i look like i have senses of caring about your words?"

"You really want me to believe this don't you?"

"Why would i want that? It is the truth anyways."

"You were just crying moments ago, for me."

"For you?" She lets out a small laugh "do not be ridiculous now."

"Then for who? The waves?"

"It is not concerning of you. The King Decimis, huh?"

"Yes the King himself."

"With MY powers? C'mon Decimis, both you and I know you can do better than this."

"Wow. Someone is angry today."

"Oh so you do know about emotions?"

"I know about them perfectly, that day you left me you taught a good lesson to me."

"I left you?"

Ianthe just nods her head no and tries to leave again.

"I. Was. Not. Finished yet!"

"And i. Do. Not. Care."

"Yes you do. Yes you care, i 'came back from the dead' are you not happy to see me?" He asks ironically.

"You lied to me? Used me? Played with my feelings? Yes you did all of that, but you do not expect me to sit down and cry about it! I am stronger than i ever was and stronger than you ever will be.
Have all the waves upon you, but you will never reach the height of ire i have!"

Decimis knew this was true.

"And I'm the bad one here? Did you forget your mistakes? Your faults? Or you really think that if you blame me, your mistakes will be forgiven? I lied to you in one thing; that i was dead! To protect you!
What about you? All of your fake truths and sweet lies? Does that make you a good person?"

"I wish to never see you again Decimis Imperium! And-

"Oh you will now that you have fou-"

"I. Was. Not. Finished yet!" She brings in mockery, and makes fun of him imitating his deep husky voice.

"You know pretty well you did nothing to protect me. All you ever did was just to destroy me! You were successful for a while, but this Ianthe right here, is the Ianthe you will never be able to fight back anymore!"

She continues leaving and gives herself a big dive for her speed to increase rapidly so she goes as far away from him as possible.

She said she did not want to see him again, deep down she knew she wanted to, to let him know about her pain, her struggles through the entire time he was not around.

The letters she wrote him, the amount of times she cursed loneliness but loved it too. The anger within her, losing the ability to control her emotions. All of this confusion because of him. At the same time she did not want him to know about all of these, she wanted to appear strong next to him.

But who knows she would not be able to?
Meanwhile Decimis was shocked as well, he was trying to process all of what just happened.

Did she really forget him? This was a big stab for his heart.

"So she found you?" Someone said from behind him, he turns around to see, and it was him. He nods yes disappointed he saw everything.

"So you know what to do now!"

"I can't"

"I SAID; you know. What to do now!"
