Chapter: 104.******"How did he get here?" Tide looked up from the now sleeping merman to find Nexie standing behind him."Hello, friend, did you notice the shift in the Soulbutterflies earlier?" He asked although he was almost certain everyone did. "Who didn't?" Nexie shoved him aside and came closer to the bed, sitting on it and picking one of the merman's hands. "Did he cause that?" She asked as she began to cast her spells, and rings of lights began to fill the room."It has something to do with him, I could say that for certain..." Tide paused."But?" Nexie asked."But I'm not entirely sure," Tide replied. "You're not sure?" Nexie gave him a knowing glare. "I think he is, something happened to my Soulpearl and apparently to his as well." Nexie smiled, with a flick of her fingers she sent him a blast of fairyball which landed on his face and then melted into a cloud of smoke. "What was that for? You're always picking on me with your fairy magic, don't forget that I am a Tidei
Chapter: 105.*****Tide looked out his classroom window to find the happy Merman swimming in circles down below. A smile crossed his lips as he saw him and just instantly Alexander looked up and locked gaze with Tide who waved at him and he waved back, beckoning him to come down quickly. Tide chuckled, he's got work to do of course he can't just leave his students and run off with him but in truth that was all he wanted to do but sadly he wouldn't, so instead he summoned a soulbutterfly and whispered a message into it then sent it forth to Alexander. He stood by the window and watched the soulbutterfly settle in the waiting palms of Alexander and smiled when he saw the merman look up at him with a knowing smirk.Alexander after the blind incident he and Tide had grown inseparably close. He realizes he is always wanting to be closer to the Tideian, he is always coming after him whenever his work would allow, chasing Tide, to his home, to the History school and just about everywhere he
Chapter: 106.*******'Since I am such a distraction how about I leave and never see your ugly face again' To which Tide laughed when he received his message, he was so adorable and the cutest when he's grumpy, Tide wanted nothing more than to look at his face at that very moment, to watch his lips pout and his eyes flaring in anger but even more amusingly the erratic beating of his heart when he gets all irritated. He knew it was an empty threat, he's known the merman three months but it was long enough to know all about him since Alexander isn't exactly hard to read.He was so simple, easily driven, and would speak the first thing that comes to his mind, his honesty was a treat Tide lapped up with greed. He couldn't help his heart from sinking deeper into the Merman who has suddenly appeared in his life and just as if he was meant to be part of it all along, everything became about Alexander, he was thinking about him in places he shouldn't be thinking about him, in class, with Nept
Chapter: 107.******Once he had caught up to him Tide pulled him into a hug pressing their chests together, their Soulpearl bloomed with warmth and an overpowering strength that had both Merman and Tideian panting loudly. Alexander pulled away shortly after that and turned away from Tide so he wouldn't see his reddened face."Why do you worry so much about death and the future, Alexander?""They're inevitable, no matter how you look at it, death is our fate and we do not reincarnate, we just fade away to the Halls of the Gods for eternal rest but you live longer, the Merdragons never die nor age, so they do not have to worry about death or the future, they have all the time they need to do whatever they want and as for you, a Tideian, whether you left something unfinished, you reincarnates to have it finished, but what fate do we have, when we are dead that's the end of us nothing more, so I worry, I worry I may not have enough time, I worry I may not be happy enough, I worry I may n
Chapter: 108.******"You swim too fast, wait up!" Tide called to his excited friend. "Alexander!" He yelled using magic to swim faster and in the process crashing into the other laughing merman. "You know I have a duty to keep under the sea, why do you always pull me ashore like this," Tide asked as he pinned the other into the sands, their tails linked and lips nearly touching.The blue merman smiled, using his tail to knock the other off him before transforming his tail into legs. Tide watched in awe as he transformed into a human, just like the first time he had watched him transform before his eyes, he couldn't stop himself whenever he saw this, his reactions stayed the same. Alexander ran toward the rock he had hidden their changing clothes and grabbed them. After the first day before they returned to Aquarial, Alexander had asked that they hide the clothes there for next time and since then they only changed into those clothes. Tide shook his head at the memories as he watched
Chapter: 109.******"Naga!" Tide called to the Elder Merdragon who had just appeared out of thin air. Naga's wings were beating as he flew down towards the Tideian, his eyes shining brightly in a mixture of joy and curiosity. He landed in front of Tide, looking him directly in the eyes, Tide stilled and just stood there, allowing the Merdragon to finish with his Soul searching. And once the Merdragon was finished he shifted into a Merman and began swimming away to his abode, Tide was following closely.When they arrived at Naga's home, Tide took his time to look around the beautiful home of the Elder. He has magical furniture and millions of soulbutterflies floating around in glass confinement; their constant buzzing added a certain calming tone to the abode making it seem as though the Whispering Ghosts were within the walls of the Merdragon's home. There were shelves lining every wall each filled with different kinds of magic spell books and magical musical instruments, the Merdrag
Chapter: 110.******Alexander stood at the bedside glancing down at the still sleeping Tideian. His Soulpearl thumped loudly within his core; it felt as if it would burst right out from within. Until he woke up that morning he didn't know he had missed the merman this much and before he could stop himself he was swimming off and toward the direction of the Tideian's cave. He went in uninvited and now floating beside his bed and just looking down at him, he couldn't find himself doing more than just watching him sleep. He looked so peaceful and so maddingly alluring. He reached fin-laced fingers forward and before he could stop their movement they found Tide's face and caressed him slowly. Tide nestled into the warm caress and moaned softly into the stroking fingers, they filled him with so much warmth and excitement. Even asleep he knew it was his Half stroking his face. He smiled into Alexander's touch and nuzzled further into the hand. Alexander stifled a chuckle at his tender act
Chapter: 111.******The Mountain Tears Festival went by greatly and Tide couldn't be happier with Alexander closer to him now than before. He has even taken him before Neptune to show him off as the one who has won the Pearl of the Tideian's Soul and Neptune in turn gave his blessings. Now, Aquarial eagerly looked forward to their Soul Bonding ceremony and Alexander had assured him they shall soon have it. Time flew by fast and Tide waited patiently for his Lover to be ready for their lifetime commitment yet Alexander wouldn't give his consent. Something often seemed to draw him back, make him change his mind at the last minute, it was exhausting but not so much that it would anger Tide, he understood Alexander's fear, and he stood by him, waiting on him. All that mattered is that Alexander had returned his love now if he doesn't want to perform the Soul Bonding then so be it. Tide would be there for him no matter what. A certain uprising rose amongst the Human and the Seas. At first
