"You lack speed and are weak in your skills."
Iah walked away after leaving a comment. She stood besides her first sister. Uninterested to fight with their brat of a third sister.
Diana Moonshail understood her second sister's lazy nature and sensed her impatience towards teaching the younger one. This sister was actually quite lazy and would refuse to leave her room if it was not some important situation or trainings.
Diana Moonshail walked over and very kindly offered to her help to the youngest . Esmaray Moonshail was initially excited to learn from both her sisters.
Howbeit, the situation didn't turn out as per her expectations. The former seemed to disdain her and directly left after throwing a words. On the other hand, the latter refused to leave her.
Diana helping Esmaray was just a pretext of her to beat the third princess up.
As the afternoon came to an Esmaray was finally allowed to return back to rest.
"You guys are sick. A whole lot of mean people."
Esmaray whipped and cried while holding her hip as she slowly walked out. Along the way, she did not forget the call out her abusers loudly.
"Was i too rough on her?"
Diana inquired watching the girl walk away with a twitch on her face. She had clearly controlled her strength earlier. Esmaray too had adapted to defending herself well which meant she had progressed a bit.
"Nah, i could have been harsher."
Iah answered back nonchalantly not buying any of the drama of her younger sister.
"I'll leave first. See you in the evening."
The young asserted indifferently before walking away gracefully. From the start till the end, Diana was too stunned to speak, and when she understood her meaning, Iah was already out of sight.
Sigh!
They were all the same. A whole lot of brats.
Diana went to the Staples to meet shorty , her favourite horse. It has been quite some time since she last visited her horse. This was a pleasant day to practice her riding skills she thought.
.....
Iah at the other end, was unaware of her sister's frustration. It was good to say, she just didn't care. She was going towards the sea of wonders again today.
When she had washed up this morning,she found out her anklet was missing. She has searched through her entire room and closet too, but failed to find the missing anklet.
She had probably dropped the anklet in the waters the previous day she thought. This she wanted to search for it in the the sea.
Well, it was impossible for her to search through the enormous sea which streched over hundred thousands metres and depths. Thus, she had decided to ask the residing inhabitants to help her find it if they ever saw it.
The anklet should have fallen in the Merman Kingdoms area ,so it was much easier compared to searching the whole sea space.
Iah Moonshail reached the seashore before she stopped to call for the dolphin, who was apparently named moonchild by Diana. Iah let out a high pitched howl to summon the sea beast.
Within a short while after her call, a large figure was seen swimming in her direction at a great speed. Moonchild let out a howl in acknowledgement showing his glee , meeting Iah as he recognised her.
"Buddy, could you take me to the merman tribe?"
The young girl asked the beast gently in her warm voice. She patted the dolphin's round head while looking at him with a lively smile.
Whenever she was around the sea or it's inhabitants,she felt at ease. She would be in a great mood while interacting with them too. These creatures never ceased to amaze her. They were majestic and blessed with Beauty and skills yet were so gentle.
This was the praise worthy god's beautiful creation.
Moonchild let out a soft cry while nudging Iah's hands to show its approval.
"You are really the moon's child. Graceful with a kind heart. Thank you buddy."
Iah bent down to to kiss the beast before making her way to sit on him. Moonchild after making sure she was already, swam in depths of the sea.
They with their cultivation and Mother Nala's magical potion could breathe in the waters, which was the most valuable gift Iah felt to have recieved.
The journey was going peacefull when halfway through, they were blocked by a gigantic snake. The snake seemed to have something against them as it moved in whatever Direction they turned to.
"Whistle!"
Moonchild let out a loud echolocation while inching backwards after hearing the snakes hissing sound.
"Don't be afraid, darling."
Iah Moonshail comforted the dolphin ,patting to ease his anxiety. The beast appeared to be scared given the loud cry he had let out just now.
"Move."
Iah stared coldly at the feral beast, who was blocking their way. The girls veridian eyes matched the coldness of the feral beast's eyes equally. She would not harm any being in her best of the ability.
However, if the beast refused to surrender,they would have to solve the issue with a fight.
Analysing the snake infront of her, the snake seemed large akin to an anaconda with blue and black scales over it's lean body. From how much she had learnt over the years and heard from other's narration, this snake did not appear to be a normal beast roaming around the sea.
At this moment, when Iah was still sizing the snake up, the latter slowly transformed into a male. The male was very tall, taller than any male she had encountered before.
The male stood in a white plain tunic with his dark black sea weed like hair were let loose. The man was extremely pale, pale to the point of looking transperant while his red lips complimented his complexion.
What really caught her attention was the extreme chillness in the males eyes. The beast standing there with a staid face looked menacing and savage. As expected of a feral beast.
