Inside the Sea of Wonders.
Moonshail sisters swam around in the waters.
The girls were out on a search for the emerald pearl which was said to heal severe disease. The pearl could heal an earth element individual of any internal illness.
Aray Moonshail, their second mother was an earth element and was suffering through an internal injury since the past three months. Their second mother was a gentle, caring and a soft spoken woman.
All of their four mothers were highly compassionate and kind natured. However, mother Aray was selfless to the point of being silly. Even her internal injury was caused in the act of helping their countrymen.
Mother Aray was out on a charity function where unfortunately the demons had ambushed. She was the only one out of a hundreds of mages and humans to stand on the forefront to fight the demons.
By the time, the imperial soldiers had reached the place of ambush, mother Aray had managed to kill half of the attackers but got severely injured in the process.
" The emerald pearl should be with the merman tribe."
Esmaray Moonshail conveyed through the mind link. The sisters had always communicated like this. Diana and Iah had wanted to go for the search much earlier by themselves.
However, Esmaray Moonshail had strongly insisted that they wait till she comes back and she wanted to join too. Her elder sisters just wanted to keep her out of the danger and she much appreciated the fact.
Though, unfortunately she refused to hide behind and risk their lives. She would protect her sisters when the time came.
Merman city , which was the tribe of merman species,who resided in the waters of sea of wonders. The tribe lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with the other living beings on the land.
The emerald pearl in question was said to be one of the rarest treasures of the merman tribe. Which made it extremely difficult for one to obtain one of those pearls. The merman tribe had refused to give the pearl no matter the bait offered to them.
War and coercion could have been a option . However, it was said that the pearl must be willingly given away for it to be beneficial. The conditions made it hard to obtain the pearl, so the cure was little to no use in the occurrence of injuries or even death.
" We will surely get the emerald pearl."
Diana Moonshail asserted with confidence. They were all worried given how tricky the situation was. Nevertheless, they knew they must get the emerald pearl. It was the only only cure within reach, at least.
As if sharing the same thought, Diana and Esmaray looked at each other , meeting each other's determined eyes then turning to look in the front. Iah was silent the whole time as she led the way. She could sense micro movements. Thus she was being vigilant of any attack from the enemy.
The eldest and the youngest gazed deeply at their second sister. They knew if they failed to obtain the emerald pearl, Iah would absolutely take out her energy core to heal mother Aray.
Energy core was the chanel house in one's internal system that supported their energy elements. One had only one energy cores which would cultivate and filter the elemental energy within an Individual. Without the energy core , one was better off dead.
An individual with their energy core taken away would constantly experience excruciating pain while their health slowly deteriorated.
Their second sister had not said a single word about the element core but they knew if they were to fail today. She would instantly take out her element core for mother Aray.
Both the girls clenched their fist thinking about the consequences. They would take the emerald pearl today no matter what consequences they suffered afterwards.
To hell with it. They would not allow anything to happen to their sister.
'Bang!'
The next second, a huge eruption ensued causing the area within twenty meters to swirl from the impact.
Diana and Esmaray looked towards the front to find a group consisting of more than fifty merman standing in front of them, in other words blocking them . Merman were inhumanely agile in water which explained the reason of them being caught off-guard.
If not for Iah's timely defence, the merman's powerfull soundwave could have caused them serious injury.
"One more move from you and you shall face the death."
Iah Moonshail's clear voice sounded in the waters. Her veridian eyes aimed Coldly towards the group of merman. Energy seeped out of her eyes causing the army of merman to back off two steps back.
The move shocked the whole merman army, including their leader. The princess's might not have known but he knew he had taken the most powerful army troupe from their tribe to fend these newcomers off. To have caused these powerful fighters of water to retreat with a glance, only a few could do this.
In their merman tribe, only their king and the chief minister could pull this move off. The leader trembled at the thought and quickly stepped out in apprehension.
"I, the merman second in command, apologise for our ignorance. Please do state what has brought your highnesses here."
The leader bowed slightly in fear. He was usually quite arrogant and was rash with his administration. This was the first time he was given such a scare, that to by a young lass. All he wanted now was to run back lest he suffered this gentle siren's wrath.
"We are the princesses from the city of Dreamland. We are seeking the presence of your king regarding an urgent matter "
Esmaray Moonshail stepped in to answer sensing the killing aura from her second sister. She praised this man to have the courage to offend her second sister.
Out of the three of them, their second sister was one to have the calmest temperament. It was rare for her to loose her cool . She would not blink even when faced with death. Now, howbeit ,to have her use her eyes to show her power, this indicated doom.
