Chapter 58 Meanwhile at the palace

Upon arriving at the palace, Naida enters the grand halls and makes her way to Prince Tritan's chamber. Inside, she finds Tritan diligently packing their belongings and provisions for the quest. Naida and Finrir join him, eager to lend a helping hand in organizing their supplies.

As they enter, their eyes fall upon ten packs neatly lined up along one wall of the chamber. Each pack has a pile of identical items placed in front of it—a camouflage cloak, a net cutter, and four sets of form-fitting travel clothes, designed for optimal swimming. Some of the clothes are lightweight for warm waters, while others are made of sturdy whale leather for protection against harsher elements.

Next to each pile, there is a box filled with carefully selected food provisions. In the center of the sitting area, Tritan packs a chest with larger items that will be shared among the entire party—pots, pans, and other essentials f

    Chapter 59 LuggageTritan turned to face their group, his gaze sweeping over Naida and his two sisters, Nerissa and Madissa. With swift and deliberate signs, he suggested, "Why don't you mermaids retire for the night? You can use my bed chamber to save time. Finrir, Joe, Bryan, and I will start hauling the supplies to the front door, then we'll fill the airbladder and take care of the final preparations. We'll come get you when we are ready to go."Naida was taken aback by Tritan's offer, but she followed Nerissa and Madissa into Tritan's spacious bed chamber. The bed was unusually large, big enough for four large merfolk to comfortably sleep. Naida found herself pleased by the luxurious size, while Madissa and Nerissa exchanged puzzled glances, silently questioning why Tritan had such a grand bed. Tritan closed the door to his bed chamber, allowing the mermaids to rest and recharge while he and the other mermen attended to their tasks.Outside the chamber, the four mermen—Finrir, Joe,

The assembled mermen and mermaid gaze at her in awe and respect.Queen Chloris surveys the group and then signs her question to them, her hands moving gracefully through the water. "Where are Princess Nerissa and Princess Madissa?" Tritan steps forward, gracefully bowing before signing his response. "They are resting in my bed chamber, Mother. We were up most of the night preparing, and I thought it best they rest while we mermen loaded the luggage."Queen Chloris nods, her eyes briefly glancing over Marine before settling on Lucious.

His eyes scanned the surroundings, ensuring the path ahead was clear of any potential dangers or obstacles. The citizens of Tritania, though affected by the plague, gathered by the water's edge to catch a glimpse of the passing procession.Following closely behind Hunter, Tritan, the esteemed leader of the group, swam with a determined gaze fixed upon the path before them. His every movement exuded a sense of purpose and responsibility. Flanking Tritan on either side were Finrir and Trent, displaying poise and strength as they safeguarded their leader. They were ever ready to assist Tritan and react swiftly to any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.Adding a touch of grandeur to the formation, the majestic hippocampi glided gra

However, just before they are completely engulfed by the darkness of the abysmal plain, Tritan raises his hand, signaling for a halt. The party comes to a stop, the hippocampi reined in by Markous.Nerissa and Madissa, curious about the sudden pause, climb out of the carriage and sign their question, "What's wrong?" Tritan, using sign language, communicates with the group. "We are about to leave the light of the Tritainian skies, and we will need our waysticks. Additionally, some of us will need to rest as half of the mermen did not sleep last night. Trent, Hunter, Markous, and Lucious, how well did you rest?"Each of them signs in turn, indicating that they slept or rested well. Tritan nods and continues, "There is enough room on top of the carriage for us to rest if we huddle close. The

    Chapter 63 Setting CampThe gentle pull of the water and the rhythmic rocking kept Tritan in a peaceful slumber. Gradually, Tritan became aware of someone's arousal behind him, their body pressed against his back. The sudden sensation startled him, momentarily alarming Tritan as he tried to recall and understand his surroundings. He realized he was on top of the carriage, already embarked on their journey into the abyss. The movement had ceased, and Tritan deduced that Finrir was the one holding him. Although slightly disoriented, Tritan trusted Finrir implicitly, recognizing that it was natural to feel arousal upon waking. Deciding to keep his wakefulness hidden, Tritan remained motionless, carefully observing the scene.With a calculated release, Finrir let Tritan go and undid their fastenings. Tritan slowly opened his eyes, taking in the surroundings. As soon as he stirred, Finrir's hold on him ceased. Looking up, Tritan noticed the other mermen taking

Thankfully, the tranquility of the underwater depths prevailed, and the hours flew by uneventfully. As the darkness persisted, the waystick, a specialized device emitting a soft, bioluminescent glow, began to illuminate the camp with a vibrant and bright pink light, casting a gentle radiance that bathed the surroundings in its ethereal hue. The waystick's glow, carefully crafted to mimic sunlight, served as the primary source of illumination in the deep abyss, where natural sunlight could not penetrate.With the arrival of the pink glow, Joe and Bryan commenced their duties, quietly moving from tent to tent, their movements barely audible as they gently tapped on the door flaps. As the camp stirred from slumber, Finrir was already hovering above his neatly arranged bedroll, securing

Tritan raised his hand, and the merfolk and hippocampi came to a stop, their attention fixed on Trent, waiting for an explanation.

He's currently pinned down, waiting for an opportunity to find a safer path," Trent informed them, his voice laced with a mixture of urgency and caution.Joe couldn't help but be amazed by Trent's connection with Hunter, their scout who was venturing ahead of them.

The gentle glow of bioluminescent siphonophores, floating in the water above the village, cast an ethereal light that enveloped the small, tranquil settlement. The illuminated strands danced and shimmered, creating an enchanting display akin to the aurora borealis, giving the village its own mystical sky on the abyssal plain.The merfolk of the village, engrossed in their daily tasks of handling and corralling schools of fish for farming, paused in unison as they caught sight of the rare hippocampi pulling the carriage. In an instant, word spread like wildfire through the village, and the villagers abandoned their duties, their attention fixed on the approaching royal entourage.With a sense of reverence and anticipation, the villagers swiftly swam towards the group, their movements graceful and purposeful.

    Chapter 114 More Secrets.It dawned on her that they might not fully understand the significance of the special dish she had prepared for them earlier. In her culture, this dish was traditionally made for groom-pair to eat at the wedding feast. By accepting and eating the dish, the groom-pair would be acknowledging the bride as their mate. In a legal sense, they were already mated temporarily for a year, during which the pod would determine if they were a good fit. They had the option to recommit permanently at the end of the year, or if a child was born or conceived during that time, the mating would become legally binding when the child was born.However, given their short time together, Aziza wasn't sure if Trent and Hunter, her bonded mermen, would still feel the same about her later. She knew they were both honorable and would take care of her if a child was born, but she didn't want them to feel obligated. So she thought perhaps it best if they used

The two counterweights were supposed to balance each other, ensuring buoyancy while underwater. However, it seemed a little heavy, and he planned to discuss this with Tritan later to get his input on the matter. Despite that, Trent knew his work was done for now."Good! Because I saved you dinner. Everyone else already ate, and I told them you were busy," Hunter informed Trent through their bondlink. "Aziza and I are waiting for you."As he prepared to head back, Hunter's message reached him through their bondlink. Trent smiled at the thoughtfulness of his bondmate and thanked him. Feeling a renewed eagerness, he swiftly swam back to The Serpent's Blood inn, where Aziza awaited them.Trent's heart warmed at the gesture and the camaraderie he shared with his companion

The merchant, known for dealing in new Atlantian military-restricted items, had mentioned that he had what they were looking for, but it wasn't kept in the shop. Trent navigates the hidden and unsavory place, a black market that can provide anything you need, even if it's hard to find elsewhere. However, what sets this black market apart from others and puts Trent at ease is the absence of one despicable thing he couldn't stand witnessing – slavery. There's no hint of such terrible activity here, which allows Trent to focus on his mission without worry.As Trent reaches the end of the hallway, he turns left into the shop he seeks. Inside, the shelves are filled with crates containing various weapons, including lazerarms, light spears, crystal induction daggers, and other items restr

Tritan briefly explained that they would be leaving the morning after next, having to wait one more day for the custom sword to be made.After enjoying their meal and engaging in pleasant conversation, Bryan leaned forward and addressed the group, "I've already found the perfect place to get the rest of our provisions. There's a reputable merchant named Fintar, not far from here, who specializes in supplying adventurers like us with high-quality gear and tools for underwater journeys."The group's eyes lit up with interest, and Joe nodded in approval.

    Chapter 110 The ForgeAs Tritan, Finrir, and Naida approached the end of the alley, they were met with a sight that captured their attention—a large shop with no front wall, only a bar-like counter stretching from one end to the other, leaving the interior visible and open. Beyond the counter lay a bustling work area where four skilled mermen were diligently crafting their creations around a central wall. The wall, not perfectly round but built around a natural formation, exuded an aura of rugged elegance. It extended around the back like an irregular well, with the mermen moving gracefully amidst their craft, adding an artistic touch to the workshop's ambiance.Two windows were meticulously cut into the wall, and each window's sill extended out a foot, supported by a large anvil stone. This unique design left a square foot area with high sides around each window, which then rose and joined in an arch at the top, forming a tunnel-like extension that stretched out a foot, also supporte

Eager to share his discovery, he swiftly swims back to Tritan and signs, "I found it, it's this way."Tritan can't help but grin playfully, his curiosity piqued by Finrir's excitement. Naida's eyes also light up with anticipation as they both join in the chase, following Finrir through the bustling market. With each stroke, they navigate the narrow alleyways, passing by various stalls offering an array of goods, ranging from colorful trinkets to delectable underwater delicacies.Finrir leads them down the alley, never pausing for a moment, while Tritan and Naida eagerly keep up the pace. They pass a series of weapon shops along the way, each displaying the usual assortment of tridents, spears, harpoons, and sleek metal armor. Tritan briefly

The row of stalls and shops surrounding them appear closed or abandoned, concealing the pathway leading to their destination. Trent's senses are heightened, and he can't help but feel the weight of anticipation in the air. His parents' unscrupulous teachings have honed his ability to locate the secretive black markets hidden in the most obscure corners of any realm.As they venture further into the dimly lit alley, Trent and Hunter rely on instinct, guided by Trent's uncanny knowledge of finding these covert hubs. The absence of illumination, the hushed silence, and the shadows looming around them all add to the enigmatic allure of this clandestine place. Trent remains vigilant, feeling the gaze of unseen eyes upon him, but he remains composed, knowing that the right sigil can lead them

    Chapter 107 The SonoclamSwimming up to Nerissa, he peered over her shoulder as the merchant signed to her. She held a delicate metal clam in her hand, and Joe could see a crystal bead inside, nestled like a pearl in a real clam. To his surprise, as Nerissa opened the clamshell, he noticed an intricate holographic screen inside the top shell. She deftly interacted with the holographic display, leaving Joe in awe. He had no idea that merfolk possessed such advanced technology.The presence of the honeycomb-shaped piece and the tiny node on the other wall now made sense. Just above the holographic screen, near the top of the clamshell, there was a honeycomb piece similar to the ones he had seen earlier. A matching smaller piece, fitting into the center of the honeycomb, was attached to the bottom shell. The arrangement resembled a flip-phone, with the two glass-coated metal pieces functioning as a speaker and microphone.As Joe scrutinized the device, he cou
