Chapter 47 - Chapter 47 : Prince Merona Ellanorine of Atlantis

"You're from the lost city of Atlantis?" Eve asked in shock.

"What's the lost city of Atlantis?" Lelania wondered.

"I've read in a book that there was once a human civilization far more technologically advanced than any other country. They were a peaceful race until one day an earthquake struck and the city sank to the ocean floor. The humans who were close to drowning mutated and evolved to breathe underwater and that's the knowledge gathered so far. Records of the last mermaid being seen was over a 1000 years ago," Eve explained. "Finding a mermaid from Atlantis was surprising enough to think we would actually meet a princess."

"So mermaids aren't monsters but demihumans?" Lelania wondered.

"Yes, We mermaid love living at the bottom of the ocean. It's so much joy and filled with amazing wonders," Merona explained with a bright smile and sparkling aura.

Fenrir shielded her eyes from the light. "Damn, she's so pure it's blinding. So what are you doing up here?" Fenrir queried.

"Well I had a little argument with my mother and I ran away from Atlantis to prove something to my mother. As I travelled the ocean a storm suddenly appeared and I was swept away by the vicious current of the ocean," Merona explained.

"What are you trying to prove to your mother?" Lelania wondered.

At the same time Lucifer walked in and Merona saw him. Out of nowhere she grabbed him, threw her arms around his neck and gave him a long kiss on his lips. Lelania, Eve and Fenrir were suddenly petrified by Merona's sudden audacity.

"...To find my future husband," Merona responded.

She felt an overwhelming murderous intent and turned her head to see Fenrir aura in the form of a ferocious wolf, Lelania aura as a viscous viper and Eve's as a grim reaper.

"What the hell do you think you're doing he's my—I mean our manl?" Fenrir exclaimed as she pulled Merona's off Lucifer.

"I've traversed the turbulent seas to find a surface dweller worthy to be my husband," Merona explained.

"But that doesn't mean you can just kiss someone else's husband," Lelania stated as she hugged Lucifer tightly to her chest and squeezed his face in her bosom.

"He saved my life and for that I find him worthy," Merona stated.

Fenrir fumed. "Well you should buzz off he belongs to us," Fenrir demanded.

Merona got angry and started using her fish tail to slap Fenrir on her face left and right. "You have. No right. To demand anything. I am. A princess. And you. Will treat. Me with the respect. I deserve," she demanded.

Fenrir's got slapped so much her cheeks turned red.

"Urgh, I've had enough of this bitch. Who wants grilled fish for lunch?!"

Fenrir's eyes were blazed red and she tried to attack Merona but Eve tried her best to hold her off. Fenrir gritted her teeth and tried using her feet to grab at Merona.

"Oh such malicious words.. My dear beloved husband, please help me put a stop to her viciousness... Huh."

Merona turned to look at Lucifer and noticed that he wasn't there. Even Lelania was surprised when Lucifer slipped from her clutch. She got upset and wrapped her snake tail around Merona's neck.

"Who do you call My Husband?" She asked in a hostile voice.

Lucifer was outside the tent walking away while straightening his jacket.

'I may not have much experience with men but there is one thing I do know is to never get involved in a fight between women,' He said to himself.

Lucifer returned to the workshop and opened the door. The dark undead was adding the finishing touches to the ship.

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes my lord."

"Then all of you return to my shadow, except for Black Jack."

Lucifer gave his orders and all the dark lizardmen did as he instructed. Suddenly the ground shakes as Pressila rubs over.

"Lucifer, you have to come quickly, Lelania and the others have gone mad."

And so Lucifer sat on Pressilla's shoulder as she ran through the forest. As she ran Lucifer kept getting distracted by her large breast that kept bouncing up and down.

'Those things are large, like a large parachute filled with puddings,' he thought to himself.

From this height Lucifer could clearly see the world above the trees.

"So this is the world from the height of a giant," he mumbled.

"Yeah, it's amazing isn't it?" Pressila queried.

"You heard me?"

"Yeah."

Soon they arrived at the campsite then Lucifer leaped off Pressila's shoulder and looked at his three wives. They were standing around a fire with knives and forks in their hands, their eyes were red and they wore a sinister wide smile on their faces. They kept laughing sinisterly as they surrounded Merona who was tied to a stick and being roasted over the fire.

"Oh my dear beloved, please rescue me!" Merona requested as called out playing the damsel in distress and with a smile on her face.

Fenrir, Eve and Lelania turned around to Lucifer simultaneously then glared at him with glowing red eyes.

"Oh husband, so good of you to join us."

"Dinner will be ready soon master."

"And on the menu are roasted fish."

They started to chuckle, smiling and looking at him ominously. Lucifer took out a pistol from his ring and removed the cartridge. He then took out a different cartridge and placed it in the gun again.

'These three have gone nuts with jealousy, I hope this will be enough.'

Lucifer turned his gun on his wives and pulled the trigger shooting the three of them on the head.

"Ah!"

"Ouch!"

"Urgh!"

The three collapsed on the ground.

"What did you shoot them with?" Pressila wondered worryingly.

"Rubber bullets," he responded.

The three got up rubbing their forehead.

"Hey lucifer that hurts you know," Fenrir pouted.

"Take the fish off the fire and let's go "

Lucifer led the way and all of them went to the workshop.

"Is it ready yet?" Pressila asked.

Lucifer nodded and took out something looking like a car keys. He pressed a button and suddenly there was a rumbling sound. The four corners of the workshop split open and a white smoke released from inside. The top and the four walls slowly fall to the ground revealing the ship. Fenrir and the others were in awe of what was before them. A ship twice as large as a cargo ship and 100 ft tall. It is a jet black ship with lime green lines running through it and at the face of the ship was a V shaped glass. Attached to the tip of the wings are two bullet shaped jet thrusters. Everyone except for Lucifer was speechless, jaws dropped and gasping in astonishment.

"Let's go"

Lucifer walked all the way to the back that opened for them to enter.

"Husband, what is this?" Lelania asked in astonishment.

"This is a Multi-purpose battlecruiser capable of flying into deep space and diving to the deepest depths of the ocean. It's capable of flying at an air speed of mach 5 and armed with a large arsenal of weapons"

"But why is it so big?" Fenrir wondered.

"We have a 40 ft giant with us," Lucifer responded. "Or have you forgotten?"

"You did this for me?" Pressila asked.

"No, I did it for myself, let's go on board."

Everyone walked into the ship and as they walked, they looked around. There wasn't enough room in the enter ship so Pressila had to wait in the cargo bay. They walked all the way to the control room where all the buttons and monitors were. Black Jack and a few dark lizardmen who stood at the pilot seats took a bow.

"Welcome aboard my lord," Black Jack greeted him.

Lucifer didn't answer him but only took his seat on the captain's chair above.

"Let's go."

"As you wish my lord."

Black Jack and the other lizardmen started the ship, pressed a few buttons and the jet thrusters located at the tip of the wing rotated downwards. Suddenly they started to shoot out flames that ripped the ground apart until the ship started to rise slowly. The thrusters rotated upwards and pushed the ship into the sky. The entire ship shook under the velocity until it reached above the clouds and barreled through it.

"Setting to cruiser mode."

A dark lizardman flipped a switch and the ship became steady. Lelania, Eve and Merona were speechless as this was their first time being above the clouds. Even Pressila, who was in the cargo, looked through a window at the clouds. This was her first time seeing the world above the clouds, as a giant she always had to look up at the clouds and now she got the chance to see this.

"It's beautiful," She muttered as she glanced at the sun. "It's like a dream come true."

The ship cruised over the clouds towards the sun.
