"We can't just sit here!" One of the sirens protested.

"Yeah!"

"Then, what do you suggest we could do?" Nancy asked with her eyes squinted.

"Since the Lost Prince is the King now," Daisy started. "Doesn't that mean that it's your chance to kill him? To avenge our ancestors? To take over the throne?"

Then Jane continued, "Whoever kills the holder of Habaek's Trident will be the new owner."

Nancy nodded at that statement and smirked evilly. "I guess we will pay the king a visit."

The sirens smiled and nodded.

"On Luna Day, we will attack Korallia — which is only four days away." She said as she looked at the women.

"Once I kill King Seokjin, I will be the Queen of Korallia," Nancy looked at them with her arms spread. "And destroy the balance between the land and the sea and all of you can feast as many men you want."

There are mumbled of agreement and some hisses.

"Irene!" Nancy hollered.

A woman with dark hair and purple highlights swam out of the crowd and went in front of her.

"Make a plan to sabotage the festival."

"Yes, Nancy."

Nancy then looked back at the sirens surrounding her.

"KING SEOKJIN'S REIGN WILL END!" She then mumbled, "and he will not live to see our glory."

"NO!"

Jimin sat up from the tub with a loud gasp and his golden tail made a loud splash.

He heard the lights getting switched on and the sound of footsteps coming towards the bathroom.

Jimin looked up at the door as it creaked open revealing Yoongi in his silk pajamas and messy raven hir.

"Jimin?" He called out worriedly as he walked towards the tub and kneeled down. "What's wrong?" He asked as he put his hand on his small ones.

"Y-Yoongi." He stammered and looked at the human with terrified eyes.

"Nightmare?" The commodore asked.

Jimin thought about it for a moment. ' It felt so real.' He thought. ' I feel that it will happen.'

"I-I don't know." The merman answered.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

Jimin stayed silent for a minute before he took a deep breath and sighed.

"The sirens." His response made Yoongi shock. "They're planning to attack on the full moon and kill the King of Korallia in order to take control on Habaek's Trident."

"What would happen if they take it?" Yoongi asked.

"Habaek's Trident could either bring peace or chaos. Throughout the generation, the Kings of Korallia maintain the balance." Jimin explained and gasped in realization. "The full moon, Luna Day, is in four days."

"When?"

"What?" Jimin looked at Yoongi confused and saw his face was unreadable. He couldn't interpret on what he felt about the information.

"When are you going to leave?" Yoongi asked again with strained voice.

Jimin knew that he just reunited with Yoongi not long ago and it broke his heart to leave him again.

"Tomorrow night. " Jimin answered. "I have to go to make sure if this nightmare is just that or... A vision."

"To be honest, I really don't want you to go." Yoongi sighed as he rubbed his thumb on Jimin's knuckles. "But the sea might be in dire so I have no choice but to let you go again."  The human looked down.

Jimin cupped his face and tilted it up to face those dark eyes. "I'll come back — I don't know when but I know not longer than this."

Yoongi nodded wordlessly and raised his free hand to wrap it around one of his wrists — gently rubbing Jimin's inner wrist to send comfort to the merman.
