Chereads / The Lord of the Alpharia Ocean / Chapter 3 - 3 The real savior

Chapter 3 - 3 The real savior

While Nicky calls his savior the Sea Lord, Suddenly, Nicky hears a sound from the water. He turned his face.

One big tortoise raises his head from the water and looks at him.

"Who is calling me? Who are you?" the tortoise asked.

Nicky was amazed when he saw a talking tortoise.

"A talking tortoise….!" Nicky stared at the tortoise. "You can talk?" He asked with surprise. A little smile appeared on his gloomy face.

"Yes, I can."

"Talking tortoise..! I can't believe it..!"

"Don't you trust your ears..?"

"Yes, I trust. But it is an amazing thing for me. What a wonderful experience is this, like a fairy tale..!"

"All creatures can talk, but you the humans can't hear it and understand."

"Then how could I hear it now?"

"I believe you accidentally drank the water of spirits which is called the Alpharia River and gained some extraordinary power including the ability to understand the talking of animals. Have you drunk water from the ocean?"

"Yes, that may be what happened. I have drunk water from this stream. It was not visible then. When I felt thirsty, I just scooped a little water from the ocean and drank forgetting that, it was the salt water of the ocean. After drinking the water from the ocean, I was able to see this blue current."

"Yes, you have drunk the divine water of the Alpharia River. Now you have possessed some extraordinary power by drinking this water of spirits, this bluish water. It is the Alpharia River, a mystic river originating from the sunlight, which is invisible to humans." 

"Alpharia River…? What is that?"

"It is an invisible mystic ocean current that cannot be seen by humans. You drank it accidentally. That what happened here, even if it is an unexpected thing, now you have been able to achieve some extraordinary benefits through this."

"What ocean current is this, which is invisible to humans"?

"See this bluish current." Tortoise showed that bluish current to Nicky by waving his head. "Now you can see it because you drank this water. Otherwise, you can't see it. As it is a hidden ocean current, no humans can see it, unless drinking this water. But, drinking this water is an impossible thing for humans, because they can't see it. Maybe by the grace of God, you were able to drink from this river."

"Amazing thing like a fairy tale..! Is it a river that forms from the sunlight?" Nicky watched the beauty of the bluish current flowing like a river over the surface of the ocean. It had a marvelous look in the brightness of the moonlight. "This above-water ocean current is an amazing experience for me. Is it invisible to humans?"

"Yes, Humans cannot see it, until they drink this water. You may be the first person to see it."

"A surprising experience…!"

"There are so many unusual things happening around us, which are stranger and fun than the speculations of humans. Anyway, I am happy to see you and talk."

"Nice to see you, I am also happy with an exciting experience. I am Nicky. How many languages do you speak?"

"I can speak many languages. All creatures can talk, but you the humans don't have the sense to get it. That's all. Now you have possessed some special power by drinking this divine water of Alpharia River. Hence, you can talk to all creatures who can speak, as long as you hold this power."

"How long this power will exist?"

"I am going to explain it. Before that, you have to know something about this ocean. This is the Alpharia Ocean where the Alpharia River flows. It is a river that forms from the sunlight. You the humans cannot see it. It flows through the surface of the ocean as a freshwater stream and disappears at the spot where the ocean originates."

"A river that forms from the sunlight..?"

"Yes, the Alpharia River forms from the sunlight."

"How it will be possible?"

"What is water?"

"It is a combination of two elements, oxygen, and hydrogen."

"You the humans say like that."

"If it is not correct, then what is it as per your view?"

"When the light, the energy, gets melts the water forms." 

"It is new information for us, how to prove it? We need evidence to confirm the arguments and conclusions about the things of the nature and universe."

"The Alpharia River is the evidence."

"As we the humans are not able to see it, it will be a myth for us."

"You can see it now? Do you think that all of your findings of the universe are correct?"

"Based on the proof we confirm our findings. So, most of them are correct. Could you please tell me how this river forms from the sunlight?"

"When the sunlight falls on the Alpharia Mountains, a mountain range that exists in this ocean, it becomes water and flows to the ocean as a form of a waterfall."

"Alpharia Mountain…? Where is this?"

"It exists in this ocean. But this is also an invisible thing to humans like the Alpharia River. No humans can see it except the one who drinks the divine water of the Alpharia River. As you have drunk this water, you can see it. It is a very big mountain range that shines in the pale bluish color like an iceberg."

"Why all of these things are invisible to humans?"

"You the human's eyes do not have the power to see it. Nature has concealed it from humans like other many hidden mysteries."

"It seems to be a lovely fantasy story…?"

"Yes, this universe itself is a lovely fantasy story, right?"

"Yes, this mystic universe is a riddle."

"As I said earlier, my friend, we the creatures can only know a few things in this universe and the humans are the creatures who know the least things compared to the other creatures because you have only five senses. You the human cannot see the spirit, the departed soul, but we can see. You cannot see the air, we can. Like that, many things are there that nature has concealed from you. I hope, now you have got why you can't see this river and its mountain range? This Alpharia River is the water of the spirits who roam in this world. If humans drink this water, there will be some pros and cons as a result."

"What are those pros and cons? As I have drunk it already, I have to know it. Please let me know about it"

"The benefit is, you can see the invisible Alpharia River and its mountain range, you will be able to talk to animals, you will be able to live in the water as you live in the land, you can see the spirits who roam in this world. The con is only one, which is you will be invisible to humans after five sunrises from the day you drink the divine water of Alpharia River. When you become invisible to humans, they can't see, talk, hear, or touch you. But in your case, you can see and hear them, but can't talk or touch."

"It is very horrible?"

"You will be invisible only to the human. Other creatures can see you. But, if you appear in front of a mirror, your image will reflect on the mirror, humans can see that image."

"Indeed, it would be a tragedy for my family and me. We cannot bear it." Nicky kept silent for a while and then asked. "Is there any way to be visible after this invisibility?"

"Yes, there is a way to be visible after this invisibility that happens by drinking the divine water of the Alpharia River, but it is not an easy task that can be done quickly. To restore the previous state, the state of visibility, you have to drink the Typharus Honey, made by a special bee coming from the garden of angels called Typharus Garden."

"Where it can be found?"

"There is a flowering tree known as Cactasia that grows in the icy arctic tundra region. Its flower is white in the darkness and red in the daylight. The Typharus bees come to this tree when it blooms, to get the nectar of the flower. The heavenly fragrance of this flower attracts even the spirits too. This tree is believed to be the tree of the angel's garden. Typharus bees collect the nectar of the Cactasia flower and make honey. This honey can be seen in that tree."

"But needs to go arctic tundra to get it?"

"Yes, nowhere else this tree grows."

"Tundra is a no man's land. Getting there is a difficult task. "

 "In front of the needs, the difficulty is not an obstacle. Is it right or not?"

"This theory depends on the needs."

"Whatever. I was answering your questions."

"Where did you get all of these things?"

"From my ancestors."

"Do you believe all these things are correct?"

"Yes. These are truths."

"That means, I will be invisible after five days?"

"That is correct if you did not get that honey within those five days."

"This might be a story. Could you please tell me how this mystic river comes to the earth?" 

"By the form of the light, it is extremely beautiful like the marvelous polar light shining in the different colors. The particles of the light that comes in the form of dust, shower on the Alpharia Mountains like a snowfall. From there, the water forms from these particles of light and flows through the dells as many streams and finally falls into the ocean as a beautiful waterfall."

"Where is this waterfall?"

"Within the highest peak of the Alpharia Range. It falls into the sea like a beautiful circular waterfall from the top of the mountain. One of the most beautiful sights to see in the natural wonder."

"Oh really..? How to see it?"

"Now you can see it. But it is a little far away." 

"All of these are amazing things...!"

"Yes, this magical universe itself is an amazing thing. If we observe it thoroughly, nature will reveal its things to us. Do you know, what is the magic of this universe?"

"For me, it is an answerless phenomenon, as the God."

"The changes that taking place in the creations."

"We call it evolution."

"Whatever, this process, the changes, is the motion of the universe that makes the creations and time. This is the magic of this universe, an endless process."

"You are a genius…! My father had told me about the talking tortoise. He is a sailor who knows everything about the sea and its species." 

"Would you like to see the beautiful view of the mysterious river that falls into the sea like a waterfall?"

"I wish, but this is not the time to explore nature. I am facing a serious issue that needs to settle soon."

"What is that serious trouble?"

"The ship on which my father works has been hijacked by the pirates."

"I see? That is why you look so sad, like sobbing? Are you crying?" Tortoise stared at Nicky.

"Yes, I am sobbing in my deep sadness. I came here to see the Sea Lord, the rescuer who gives help in the troubles. But I could not see him. I believe he may have gone somewhere else to fulfill any other mission. Could you please help me to locate him?"

"I don't know any rescuer who lives in the ocean by this name. We all are the rescuers giving possible help to others in their troubles. My name is Sea Lord. That is why I appeared when you called this name. What help do you need from this rescuer?" Tortoise asked and came closer to Nicky.

That was a big tortoise capable of carrying a human. Nicky stared at him amazingly seeing his size.

"Don't stare at me like seeing fun," Tortoise said. "Tell me, what help do you need? Maybe I can do something. By the name, I am also a Sea Lord whom you called."

"It is nice to hear that your name is Sea Lord. But, I am looking for an amphibious superhuman who lives in the ocean."

"An amphibious superhuman living in the ocean…? It is fun…!" The tortoise laughed.

"Yes, he can live in the water and land. And he is very powerful with a lot of superpowers." Nicky said.

"You humans are crazy people. That is why you are creating crazy, stupid, colorful stories of lies and enjoying them. My dear, what types of fun is this..? Creating lies and enjoying..! I have seen people reading this type of book of lies."

"Book of lies…? Maybe you are talking about stories called fiction…? They are the creations forming from the mind as imaginations."

"Whatever, you the humans have a lot of foolish dreams which give temporary consolation and happiness to you. And, these funny dreams make you greedy, crazy, and inducing to commit injustice. Right..?"

"Yeah.., maybe. But, dreams are the energy that leads us, we can't live without dreams. If there are no dreams, life will be motionless and darkened for us." 

"Ok, fine, I don't want to make an argument about your ideology. Keep it with you. You the humans are creators and geniuses who can analyze things better than we can. So let me say something about the thing that you seek here, there are no superhuman lives in this ocean. This might be a character that can be seen in the great stories that you create for entertainment. As your stories are the beautiful lies of the imagination, keep them in mind only where it will be thrilling fun. But in reality, the untamed nature is a complicated matter that needs to be handled very vigilantly. Otherwise, things will be complicated. Because nature does not have any sympathy for any creatures that live in it. This fact needs to be kept in mind while living here." 

"My grandma told me a story about the superhuman living in the ocean," Nicky said.

"My friend, you the humans are dreaming a lot and making stories about anything for money and pleasure. But we believe in the reality of nature which is extremely rough and tough. We do not imagine any fantasies and creating a colorful world. Therefore, we are happy without any disappointment. But you the fraud humans are chasing us and trespassing on our territories to catch us." Tortoise said in an unpleasant voice. 

By that time, a few more tortoises came to the spot.

"Leader what happened?" one of them asked Sea Lord.

"I could hear a call of a crying little human kid in our sea." Sea Lord replied to his followers. "But he is looking for a superhuman named Sea Lord, not me."

When Sea Lord said it, others laughed.

"Ok, that is fine. Please be silent." Sea Lord said to his followers and continued to Nicky. "My dear, you are a little boy. I do not want to hurt you. Why did you come to these wild waves searching for an unknown creature, the superhuman? Is it for fun? If so, it is so pathetic..! For you the humans, the water is more dangerous than the land where you live."

"No, it is not for fun. I am in a crucial situation. I need his help to save my father from the custody of the pirate." When Nicky said it, he sobbed a little. "Since the last two days, my father and other crews on the ship are under the custody of the pirates. They kidnapped them for ransom, the money. If they did not get the ransom within the deadline, which would end within a few hours, they would kill my father and others. They want a huge amount of money, which is not possible to pay. So I fear that the pirates will kill my father and others soon."

"Really..? That would be so sad news for us. Nasty humans kill each other for money. What idiot creatures are these?" Sea Lord said.

"Yeah, humans are greedy."

"They are cruel."

"They are fools."

"They are crazy vampires sucking blood."

"Their lord is money and doing anything to possess it."

Like that, many rude opinions came from the tortoise gang that surrounded Nicky. 

Sea Lord and some other tortoise looked at Nicky sympathetically. His little eyes filled with tears softened their mind. 

"Oh look, this poor boy is crying. Maybe we can help him." The leader said and he asked his followers. "Have you heard anything about those damn pirates? They have hijacked a ship, which may have anchored somewhere in the ocean."

"For us, it is difficult to find such a ship that is anchored in the ocean." One tortoise said.

"Right, do one thing, let us call Kookki, the leader of seagulls. She can help us to find this ship." The Sea Lord said.

"Yeah, correct." One of his fellows said. "Kookki can give us some information about these greedy men. She has hundreds of spies roaming and monitoring the sea."

"OK, then call Kookki." Sea Lord ordered.

One tortoise made a special noise like a siren a few times, turning in all directions. Within a few minutes, Nicky could see a group of birds coming towards them like a squadron of fighter jets. They landed in the water squawking loudly.

"Sea Lord, what happened? Did humans create any troubles for us?" One bird asked Sea Lord.

"The damn humans are doing troubles to us always. That is not a matter for us. But, now the story is different. Look, this crying boy came alone to the ocean in a small wooden boat seeking an unknown creature to save his father who had gotten into trouble with other humans. He wants help to save his father."

Sea Lord explained Nicky's story to seagulls and said to Nicky.

"Don't worry kid. This is Kookki, the leader of the thousands of seagulls and other birds wandering in the sea. They are a big force who knows the things very well that happening in the ocean. She and her force will be with us to help you."

"Do we need to help a human who always giving trouble to us?" One bird asked.

"Yeah, most of the humans are cruel, not showing kindness to their fellow creatures and nature." Another one supported.

"Yes, most of the humans are very bad, except a few. Last week they spilled tons of oil into the sea and killed many of our friends. Before that, they tested their bombs in our water and killed many." One tortoise said.

"Yeah, that was a nuclear bomb test." Sea Lord said and looked at Nicky. "My friend, the pride of humans has been hurting us and nature severely. Last week, a huge explosion took place in our water. Due to this heavy explosion, the water rose like a peak. The impact of the explosion was bigger than a Tsunami. Really, you humans are hurting us a lot without any mercy. We all are the creatures of God. Based on this fact, the right to live in this world is equal for all of us. And, God has given separate territories for every species, but you the greedy humans are occupying other's rights and homes for your pleasure."

"Yeah, they want to swallow everything. Ruthless damn creatures." Said a bird. "Why don't you test your bombs on your chest?"

"In fact, they do it well. They destroy themselves by using these bombs and explosives in themselves. What intelligent creatures are humans!" Another bird expressed her opinion.

"All of these things are facts." Sea Lord said. "But some of them are good. They are committed to protecting nature. So, let us forget the badness of the humans and try to help this crying boy who came here seeking help." Sea Lord continued to Kookki. "Do you have any information about these damn pirates and the ship that they hijacked?" 

Kookki came closer to Nicky and said. "You the humans are doing many bad things in our water. Today my monitors were able to notice a few unfair things. They chased a boat of human traffickers containing migrants. That was a small wooden boat filled with many people including kids and women. When the boat reached a little distance from the shore, the traffickers left them alone in the middle of the sea and fled in another boat. These poor people may have still flowing somewhere in the sea. As they don't know how to operate and control a boat and how to travel in the ocean, they can't reach the shore, until they get help from others. If the sea becomes violent, they will not reach the shore, they will be finished in the ocean. In another incident, we could see a big ship that transporting arms and ammunition for fighters. They are arm smugglers producing and distributing the weapons and ammunition to destroy their fellow humans. Like that, many horrible things are happening in the sea, trafficking humans, trafficking weapons, trafficking narcotics, thus trafficking anything, for what, to gain the papers which you called money. You, humans, are destroying each other to own this paper that creates greed and pride. What a fun game your life is…! Why can't you live peacefully? Nature has given everything to us that needs to live here well, but your greed does not allow you to be calm."

"We are the luckiest creatures living in water because humans cannot live in water. A tortoise said. "If they were amphibians capable of living on water and land like us, trust me, they would have killed us long ago."

"Yes, they are the greediest creatures in the world." Another tortoise said. "If they use this nature so quickly and greedily, sooner or later, one-third of the land where they live will be submerged in the ocean, and we will see their paper wealth floating in the waves of the ocean without any value," 

But, Nicky was not hearing any of these comments. His burning mind was thinking about his father's faith. His sobbing eyes filled with tears again and flowed.

By watching this pathetic scene, all of the talking tortoises and seagulls suddenly become silent.

"My dears, how can we help him?" Sea Lord said to everybody and turned towards the leader of seagulls. "Kookki, are you able to give us some information about the ship of those damn pirates? If so, I have some plan."

"Yes, I can get it, But there is another trouble that needs to settle soon," Kookki said. 

"Oh, really? What trouble is that?" Sea Lord asked. Everybody became anxious including Little Nicky.

"A tornado formed somewhere on the south coast and is coming in this direction. It is a deadly devil wind blowing at speeds of 200-400 kilometers per hour. It can smash a town or pick up and throw a ship, in seconds. Before it reaches here, we have to move this kid to the safest spot. The shore is far away, needs more than two hours to get there. So that, getting shore with this boy is not possible before the tornado reaches here." Kookki said and asked some of her followers to go and check the status of the tornado. 

A few seagulls howled and flew into the sky. Within moments, they disappeared into the vastness of the sky like a rocket.

That news of the tornado did not touch Nicky. He was thinking about the pathetic condition of his father who facing death under the custody of the pirates. He closed his eyes filled with tears for a few moments.

"The tornado is coming…! That would be so funny for us, let us have some entertainment in that mad storm. I want to play and swim along with the jumping waves forming in the devil wind." A little tortoise said and laughed.

"Shut up you idiot. This is not the time for fun. We have to save this kid." Another tortoise said loudly and warned him.

"Boy, look, first let's move to the safest place, and then we will think about the plan to save your father." Sea Lord said to Nicky.

"Don't worry. No devil wind is going to hurt you." Kookki said.

"I am concerned only about my father who is in trouble," Nicky said in his trembling voice.

"We all are here to help you," Kookki said.

"If we don't have enough time to get to the shore with this kid, then what shall we do?" Sea Lord asked Kookki.

"Let us wait for a few minutes," Kookki said. "I want to know the current status of this storm. Probably, as per the speed, it may have reached somewhere near the Dolphin Ballroom, the warm water stream located 200 nautical miles away in the south. If so, we will have enough time to reach the shore. Otherwise, we can go to a stream in the Alpharia Mountain range where the wind can't come."

"Wherever, if we can get a shelter for this boy, that would be fine." Sea Lord said.

That time Nikki heard the voices of returning seagulls that had gone a while ago. 

"Yeah, they are coming," Kookki, said.

Everybody was anxious. Seagulls came into the swaying waves among them.

"We don't have enough time. We have to leave this spot immediately." One of the birds from the group said. "The tornado passed the Dolphin Ballroom an hour ago"

"That means, within half an hour, this devil wind will roar here," Kookki said.

"Oh my God… Then, we have to move quickly." Sea Lord expressed his anxiety and told Nicky. "Boy, you come and sit on my back. I can take you to the safest place before the wind comes here. Let's have a fun trip." 

"Your crawling run will not help him. This devil wind will blow you both." Kookki said. "We need to find a dolphin that can carry him and run fast." 

"Finding dolphins here is a pretty easy task." One tortoise said. "This is a dolphin path leading to the Dolphin Ballroom."

"What is Dolphin Ballroom," Nicky asked.

"It is a warm water ocean current where dolphins come to swim." Sea Lord said.

"Beautiful name," Nicky said.

"There are so many wonderful and interesting things in the ocean. Because you drank divine water, you can now live in water like us. So you are welcome to explore the mysteries of the ocean." Sea Lord said.

"Let's do it later. Now, help me to find a solution to save my father and others from the custody of the pirates."

"We all are trying to help you. First, we want to take you away from this storm, and then, we can make a plan. Kookki and her troops are with us to find a solution." Sea Lord said and he turned face to his fellows. "Can we find dolphins here?"

"Yes, this is a dolphin passage to their warm water stream." One tortoise said. "Let's wait here. We can find soon some of them here who head to their warm water stream."

"Yes, look there, some of them are coming. A tortoise showed a few dolphins leaping from a distance." 

"Come on everybody. They are coming like a rushing torpedo." Sea Lord called everybody. "Let us move to their passage and try to stop them."

Tortoises and birds moved to the dolphin's route and waited for them by blocking their way. Within a short time, the dolphins reached the spot.

Sea Lord solicited their help. "Dear friends, are you heading to the Dolphin Ballroom?"

"Yeah, that is correct. We are heading to the Dolphin Ballroom the warm water stream in the Alpharia Ocean." One dolphin replied

"In fact, this time is not suitable to head to the south. A horrible tornado has been formed there and moving in this direction." Sea Lord Said.

"Are you afraid of this crazy wind? We are not afraid of the madness of that dancing wind. For us, it is a joke to enjoy and play. Let the hurricane come singing the song of hell, let us dance in the whirling smoke of that crazy win" One dolphin said.

"Stupid tortoise ...! We do not have to worry about the waves or the wind forming in our water. They are the pastimes that nature gives us. Our threat is only to the ruthless humans. We must be careful about them. When the waves and the wind sing songs like this, we have to dance in those energetic tunes. The gusting wind and the rising waves are carnivals to celebrate for the creatures that live in the sea." Another one said.

"Please listen to us," Kookki said. "We are in a crucial situation now. We need your help."

"Yes, that is why we stopped you. We also don't care about any wind or waves forming in the ocean. For us, the play of wind and waves is the fun of nature that entertains us." Sea Lord said.

"Then what the hell is going on here? Are you trying to stop us?" One dolphin angrily said. "We don't have time to hear your gospel. We are the Wave Runners heading to the Dolphin Ballroom to participate in the annual Oceo Wave Running competition."

"Dear runners." Sea Lord said loudly to the dolphins. "Of course, we do not have to be afraid of the roaring waves or the gusts of wind that form in our waters. But, look at that human kid sitting in a little boat. He is helpless. No one is going to appear here to save him from the tornado. We want to save him. So please help us to take him to the safest place. The tornado is going to hit here within a short time. Look at the flying dark clouds." Sea Lord raised his head towards the clouds and said. "Before this giant storm whistling here, let us take the kid away."

Dolphins looked at the poor Nicky who was sitting silently. They noticed his gloomy face of extreme sadness and the tears of sobbing eyes."

"Why did this boy come here? Is he crying?" One dolphin asked Sea Lord.

"Yes, that poor boy is crying. He came here to get help from an unknown creature called Sea Lord, a superhuman who lives in the ocean, to save his father from the custody of the pirates who held his father and others for money." Sea Lord explained Nicky's story to the dolphins.

"Really? That would be so sad news. But how did you know that?" One dolphin asked Sea Lord.

"He can talk to us. Accidentally he has drunk the water of Alpharia River when he felt thirsty and has won its special power."

"Is that the case? A wonderful thing! He has performed an impossible thing. Because no human can see this water. If he accidentally drank it, it means that God showed it to him." Dolphin replied and dived towards Nicky. After a few seconds, all of them appeared beside Nicky's boat.

"Hi Kid, I am Choottan, a Wave Runner and five times champion of the annual Oceo Wave Running Competition. I am the territory leader of the dolphins in the Alpharia Ocean where the Alpharia River flows. Now you know what Alpharia River is, look at that blue ocean current which can be seen here like a river. That is the mystic Alpharia River, now you can see it?"

"Yes, I can see it. In addition to this, I was able to know little things about this mystic river from Sea Lord." Nicky said.

"Right, by drinking this water you became able to talk to us. This is something that happened for your benefit. Otherwise, what would you do in a desolate sea? No humans will come here to save you. Assume that God is with you." The leader of the dolphins continued. "Boy, Look, There are no superhuman lives in the ocean. You are wrong. Never come to the ocean with your colorful stories of dreams and imaginations. This water is never compatible with humans. Sometimes, it will smile like a fascinating beauty and the next moment, it may roar like a wild animal showing its extreme wilderness. This is the strange nature of the ocean. Just remember that the nature of the ocean is far beyond your belief and predictions. Therefore, you have to be vigilant when you approach these bluish twinkling waves that make lovely melodies. This tornado is a play of nature, but for you the humans, it is a killer wind, which has no mercy at all. We will take you to the safest place where this wind cannot come. You can ride on my back. Let us have a happy adventurous journey on the dancing ocean waves. Come on, sit on my back." Choottan the leader of the dolphins called Nicky to his back and came closer to the boat.

"Kid, hurry up, get on his back." Sea Lord said. "We don't have time to spare. This devil will be here at any time. Come on, quickly." 

"Are we going too far?"

"Yes, we are moving to a mountain range which is concealed from the human. But as you have the power that you have gained from the divine water of Alpharia River, you can see it." Choottan replied.

"Are we heading to the Alpharia Mountain range…?"

"Yes, this is the place where no wind or wave that forms by the naughty play of nature can come. How do you know about it? It is one of the mysteries that nature has hidden from humans."

"When I came to know that he has drunk the divine water from the Alpharia River, I told him all about this mystic water that is invisible to humans." Sea Lord said.

"Isn't it…?" Choottan asked Nicky.

"Yes, by mystically I drank water from the ocean when I was thirsty."

"Humans shouldn't drink this water. That is why nature concealed it from humans. There are some benefits when drinking this water, but there are also disadvantages. Do you know that?" Choottan asked.

"Yes, I heard it from Sea Lord. But whatever happened, doesn't matter. First, I need to save my father. That is my prime concern."

"Right, you are a good boy having the kindness to your family. Keep in mind that, as you have drunk this water, you will be invisible to humans after five days if you do not drink the honey that helps to restore your previous state." Choottan said.

"Sea Lord told me that." Nicky turned face showing Sea Lord. "Is that true?"

"Yes, it is true," Choottan replied.

"How to get this honey? If I become invisible, it will be a great tragedy for my family. They can't bear it. They will think that I ran away somewhere or something happened to me."

"Let us see the custodian of the Alpharia waterfall who can give more details about it. Don't worry. Where there is a will, there is a way to proceed." Choottan said. "Right?"

"Yeah, but it is a task like fairytales. Anyhow, now I am not thinking about it. First, I need to save my father. Please help me to find a way. This is the more important thing for me."

"We all are with you." Sea Lord said. "First, let us take you to the safest place from this crazy wind. Then we can find a way. Right Kookki?"

"Yes, we can help him," Kookki replied.

"So, let us head to the Alpharia Mountain range." Sea Lord said to Nicky. "You will get protection from the wind and you can see this amazing world as well."

"You can be proud of being a lucky human who could see this wonderful mystery of the universe that nature has concealed from humans," Choottan said.

"Is I the first human to see this mystic mountain range?"

"That we don't know. If anyone could drink this water, they would have known this secret. To our knowledge, you are the first person to drink this water." Choottan said. "Come on, I will show you the marvelous beauty of the Alpharia mountain range that shines in the ocean blue color in the moonlight."

"Hurry up kid, no time to tell the story. The charming dance of the devil is going to shake the ocean." Sea Lord said.

Nicky got on the back of Choottan, the leader of the dolphins. 

"Come on everybody, Let us accompany him. We need to find a solution to help him." Kookki said to the gang of seagulls. 

"Yes, we need to be with him until his problem gets solved." Sea Lord said.

"You are the commander of the mission who made this arrangement to help this kid," Kookki said.

"Very correct, if we form a team to fulfill a task, a commander is necessary to lead the team," Choottan said.

"Commanding a rescue mission is a good thing. I am happy to be the leader of this mission." Sea Lord said. "Ok, let us commence the mission by taking this kid away from the storm."

Sea Lord, the commander of the rescue mission, ordered to commence the operation.

With Nicky on his back, the leader, Choottan, moved forward with his team through that blue ocean current of the Alpharia River.

 "Are we heading through this blue stream?" Nicky asked.

"Yes, this is the way to Alpharia mountain range. Look, how marvelous is this..! Doesn't it look like a picture that God has drawn in the ocean? It glows in pale blue in the daylight and dark blue in the night. Likewise, it is also the water that souls drink."

The ocean waves dancing in the moonlight sang joyfully by enjoying the performance of that rescue mission. 

Dolphins rushed through the current of Alpharia River. Sea Lord and his gang and the squadron of the seagulls participated in that run well, following them. 

While the mission rushed ahead, the tortoises made victory noise by jumping and diving in the waves with the whistling of the quickly advancing dolphins. The seagulls sang songs and danced in the sky. Their fluttering wings made a beautiful rhythm in that parade. Many fishes and other ocean species also joined in that celebrated rescue mission with a variety of performances.

That mission advanced so quickly like a beautiful parade of carnival in the song of the unstoppable waves. The shine of the moonlight and the silence of night made it gorgeous.

Nicky enjoyed well the fun of the parade. The lightning speed of the dolphins, the gymnastic performance of tortoises and fishes, and the amazing aerobatics of the seagulls performed in the sky made a charming show for him, which gave him an unforgettable experience of fun and relief in his grief. He smiled forgetting all of his sorrows for a while.

"What a wonderful experience…! These would be the happiest moments in my life. The unseen beauty of nature is more beautiful than dreams. If you want to find it, you have to go down to its mysteries." Nicky said to himself and looked around. He seemed the universe to be a great ocean. The full moon glittered over the vastness of that great ocean like a lamp of paradise.

The run advanced quickly to its destination. Nicky listened to the smiling of the waves and murmuring of the ocean wind in that loneliness of the night. He felt everything was a dream. After passing a few miles, they could see the sign of the coming devil above in the sky. The dark clouds quickly passed above them along with the echo of the devil's harsh whistling coming from the far side of the ocean.

"Move quickly, move quickly, the procession of the devil has been reached behind us by stretching his hands to grab us." Sea Lord shouted.

Nicky turned face to the back. He could see the horrible dark face of the giant that followed them. 

"Kid, don't worry. That devil is not going to touch you." Choottan said.

"OK. Let us do our Oceo Wave Run here." Another dolphin said.

"Yeah, let's compete with the devil that coming behind us."

"Are you ready for a race?" Choottan asked Nicky.

"Yes, let's fly over the waves," Nicky said.

"We are the best jumpers who can challenge the romping waves."

"If so, show the waves your drastic performance," Nicky said and laughed.

Choottan jumped over the waves initiating the Wave Run. Dolphins made the noise of their legendary annual Wave Run championship and advanced more quickly. Penetrating the waves, the Runners rushed ahead like a tempest. The seagulls those flying over them by making rhythm with their wings, amused in that play well by informing their presence with howling. The mission seeking shelter for the boy advanced at lightning speed, but the chasing devil was not far behind them.
