Once again Marino was simply too late to help someone he loved.
He swept Ari's dead body into his arms, not even the allure of her blood spilling out could distract him as he let out a heart wrenching wail.
Marino couldn't recall how long he held onto Ari's dead body any attempts to separate the former lovers was naturally met with resistance on his part.
Ari, who had been alive and kicking just a few minutes prior to his arrival, had lost something vital.
She had lost anyone she had come to love and care for and even in death she looked peaceful as if she had finally been reunited with her mother, Nana and her stepfather.
Rage consumes Marino and he channels his anger towards the prince who killed his true love, the enemy of his people; he and Lord Uriah had been deceived.
The merfolk were nothing but users, scourging upon the land, all they did was rip families apart and destroy.
