*************
At night in the middle of the deep sea you can see the figure of the sea god who is still swimming towards the west
splash..splash..
while the god of the sea was still continuing his journey, Akira was seen sitting while looking from a distance towards the sea which still seemed endless while Kiara was just sleeping on Akira's lap
'snore..
'....'
Akira just stared into the distance at the endless sea so the sea god who noticed it started to say
'hey, puny human..
'yes?
'what are you thinking about that makes you daydream a lot?
'nothing personal..
'....'
splash..splash
the sea god who heard that was silent as he continued to swim
'hey, puny human..
'straight to the main point..
'human..it's not my place to say this to you but at least you should pay more attention to Kiara because she seems to really like you
'huh? she is?
'what..you turned out to be a man who is insensitive to the feelings of women around you? It's obvious Kiara likes you!
'.....'
Akira who heard the suggestion from the sea god was silent
Actually, Akira hasn't felt that kind of feeling in a long time, so sometimes he becomes a person who is insensitive to the feelings of the people around him
coupled with his curse that makes him become inexpressive when he transforms into his original form, sometimes he also suffers from bipolar disorder when away from Kiara even for a moment
Akira doesn't know the reason why his mental state is so unstable but when he is around Kiara he becomes normal
it's as if Kiara is the cure for his mental illness and his curse though instantaneous
Akira thought that hard and he started to say
'but..i don't have that kind of feeling towards Kiara,sir..
'Then at least you have to repay her love by taking her attention, after all you haven't had a wife or anyone you love all this time right?
'.....'
Akira who heard that started to froze and made a completely dark expression
the sea god who felt there was something strange about Akira began to ask about his condition with concern
'Are you.. okay human?...
'A-ah..yes..I don't have anyone yet..
Akira who was asked by the sea god about his condition began to pretend to be normal again
'im glad if there is no one yet..then make Kiara the first one in your heart..
'i will try sir..
'hmm..
splash..splash
The sea god who heard Akira's statement at that time became very happy as he continued to swim that night
**************
splash... splash..
'metamorphosis
Sha!
Akira used his skill to change to his original form at that time
Akira returned to his original face which was his hair and eyes which remained the same black color
Akira sat looking at Kiara who was sleeping in his lap while the sea god continued to swim without knowing Akira who had changed to his original form
as usual, Akira's expression only at that time did not have any expression that indicated happiness, sadness, or anything else..
just an empty expression with seemingly hopeless eyes
tap..tap
Akira placed Kiara's sleeping body down as he began to walk to the side of the sea god's head to see his own expression in the reflection of the water.
'what are you doing human?
'nothing.. just seeing sea water..
'ouh..
'hmmmm
Akira saw his face that he had never seen in the reflection of the sea for a long time
'it all started that day huh
Akira said that as he remembered the happy smile from Zuri that greeted him when he first came home
'hmmm
while Akira was still daydreaming about his past suddenly Kiara started greeting him from behind
'who are you?
'....'
'huh? what are you talking about my lord? there is no one beside us?
Akira was completely unaware that Kiara had woken up from her sleep due to the cold weather of the night coupled with the sea god being confused when Kiara said that close to his ear
'hey..who are you!
creak!
'......'
'my lord? what happening there? are you both fighting?
Kiara began to raise her voice to Akira who was still standing without looking at Kiara at all while Kiara began to make her war horse ready to slash Akira's body
'no we are not fighting..by the way where is Zuko?
'huh? Zuko is right there just now?
'he's not here..
'huh? then who are the there? a stranger?
'yeah..and there is a stranger standing in front of me right now wearing all black clothes with black hair
'huh? then he is must be the clue to all of this!
'.....'
Akira was just silent because he was confused about what he should do at that moment
'hey! I ask you who are you! are you hear me?
'.....'
Kiara said that in a tone that seemed to be very angry
'my lord don't kill him yet..we need to interrogate him first in order to find out where Zuko is
'It's okay..I'll just break some of his fingers
'but my lord have to hold back your strength you know! Will it be hard for him to die later?
'I know and don't talk to me too much because I will cut him down in a few seconds
'please do my lord..
creak!
Kiara began to hold the magic sword tightly around her waist as her legs began to form her battle horse style
'final question..who are you?
Bzzzzztttt!!
'......'
Kiara began to channel all the energy into her sword as her sword began to emit a lightning effect
'keep quiet without saying a word huh? Turns out you're an assassin right?
swoosh
Kiara make angry expression when she losing Zuko by her side but suddenly the figure standing in front of her started to turn and face Kiara while his eyes which had lost the light of hope at that time looked sharply into Kiara's eyes
'huh? y-you are..
'......'
when Kiara saw the figure of the man in front of her at that time she only made a surprised expression as tears began to flow down her cheeks rapidly
swoosh..
the calm wind blowing the black shirt of the man in front of Kiara at that time coupled with the moon shining on his face which looked very pale like a living corpse
'Rein..
swoosh..
'......'
Kiara looked at Akira's empty eyes at that time while standing frozen at that night
