Buni did not fail Tria's expectations, as expected she had brought back all of her forces on the mainland back to Centria, leaving no one behind.
In the meantime, Tria was on her way to meet with the merpeople, they were the ones who have suffered the most. Although they were merpeople, they could still explore the land, because as soon as their body touch land, their shiny tails would transform into legs. However, in order to not suffer backlash such as dehydration from that transformation, they needed to be close to water and Centria was such a convenient home for them.
The merpeople were aware of the priestess presence in the unknown land, after all, her energy particles have also come down the water, revitalizing it and no more pollution. Therefore, when Tria had approached the water attempting to call on them, they did not hesitate to meet with her.
Tria had chosen an isolated so unwanted eyes did not fall on them. When the merpeople came out of the water, Tria was quite mesmerized by them. The group of four who had come, three women and one man, all had dark blue skin with a tint of glitter around certain areas of their bodies, and their long curly hair down the ground.
"Welcome priestess, on behalf of our people, I would like to first thank you for saving us all. Unlike the mainlanders, we are unable to migrate to other places, and we have had many discussion about a solution, thanks to your blessing, we no longer need to worry," said the woman at the forefront.
"Of course, as the priestess, I cannot stand by and watch such inhumane acts happen, which is in also why I have asked to see your people," Tria said, she had already taken off the disguise and showed them her real face, she wanted to show them that she was genuine in her feelings.
"Please call me Esmak, I am the Princess of Sintaria, and I represent all of my people, after your kind act, if you need anything from us, do not hesitate to ask," answered the princess humbly.
"I do not need anything, thank you for the offer. The reason I am here is to propose something that will benefit both us..." Tria said and continued telling Esmak about her plan.
Surprisingly to her, Esmak did not hesitate to agree, they had been waiting for a day like forever, now that they were given the chance why would they not take it. Although they were confined deep into the sea, they were still active and waiting for a day like this, and the day for revenge was finally near.
"We need to make this work, I have only manage to get them to go back on Centria before they find out that something is amiss, we'll need to act quick," Tria said.
"You can count on us, I will have everyone ready at the agreed time, just give us the signal, and also priestess, that little girl, be careful if you have to deal with her brother, they are originally from a weird tribe the Unknown Land" Esmak said the jumped into the water and swam away.
Tria nodded in the direction she left. She felt good talking to the girl, she had the characteristics of a great leader, and knew what was good and bad for them.
'I can't wait to see them in action and that girl has a dangerous brother? Hmm so do I,' she thought then turned to smile at Chukah who was walking behind.
Chukah smiled back but their little moment was interrupted by Crei waving at Tria.
"Smile at me too wifey!"
Tria looked at him and smiled sweetly.
"Dear hubby, have your shadows surround the shore, we're not going to let even one escape."
"Naturally."
