Chapter 50 Turning Point
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Feeling the steady movement of the moving submarine as it traveled across the sea somehow helped to put me at ease. I slumped onto the seat of the ship as I rubbed a towel over my wet hair. It was still sticky from the saltwater, but I didn’t even feel like taking a shower, after all, that workout earlier. I mean, we barely managed to escape that accursed cave.
Byron was still transfixed on the rod in his hands, spinning it around in his palms, out of the corner of my eye. Emily, Watson, and my father sat on the opposite side of the room - a weird and uneasy atmosphere surrounded the three of them. Emily and Watson were undecided about how they should react, especially since they were seated next to a metahuman.
Even I wasn’t sure of what happened. All I know is that once we escaped the great blue hole, Emily and Watson were there to escort us

S-21 was the section in Atlantis that we used to stay in. And with the whole Squadron C missing, the place has been heavily tilted in terms of power. Relocation of another squadron from other sectors has been implemented.There was also a lot of disturbance on the Atlantean mainlands, where we made our escape especially now that it has been revealed that the famed General Skyr is a traitor.Panic surged, and from what I heard from Emily and Watson, everyone has to be very careful of their words. Talking about the events that happened in the mainlands of Atlantis has been banned, and people have been told to stop asking questions because Lord Ylgarr will soon reveal everything to them. But during those few weeks, a lot of the majority of the other people in the sector has been moved out and relocated in order to cater the new squadron C.

Because of the massive current that Byron summoned and assisted with the power of the rod, the ship got a little banged up. Well, not really a little. It’s more like the outer layer got bent and torn off. Nevertheless, we were forced to dock to the nearest island that we could find just to fix the ship. “Quit complaining. We wouldn’t be in this mess if it weren’t for you.” Trei grumbled as he tried to salvage whatever parts that he could from the ocean. “But it’s not entirely my fault!” Byron argued. “Who knew that I would become so powerful just because I was welding some stick!?” “You rarely think, Byron.” Skyr snapped at him. Completely pissed that he has to assist in fixing the ship again. He held the metallic plate up as Watson began to solder it in place while he was busy looking at Trei’s bluish skin.

Now that we have a destination in mind, it has become long and smooth sailing for us. Well, all except for me. I have this growing storm of anxiety deep in the pit of my stomach the closer that we got to the Mariana Trench.It was bad enough that Trei mentioned the sea monsters lurking in the depths of the ocean, but then he suggested that I should go and tame the sea king - as in, the leader of the sea monsters in the area.I was out and swimming in the water while the ship was running on autopilot. I sat on the roof of the submarine while practicing my powers by locating some strong predators. Of course, it wasn’t much of a training because I wasn’t trying to command or control them at the moment. But having to use my powers before we reach our destination somehow gives me comfort and a bit of a distraction from what was about to come.

Mariana Trench. The place that I had dreaded for a while now was finally here. We arrived at our location, and I could already feel the powerful presence of the sea monsters beneath us. I haven’t gotten in touch with them yet, but I was already starting to get overwhelmed.“You okay, sis? Do you want me to hold your hand? Or would you rather let Skyr do it?” When I turned to Byron, he chuckled at my flustered expression. “Sorry, Watson told me to use that trick if I want to get you distracted from your thoughts. Did it work?”“Yeah, and right now, all I want to do is to throw Watson out and offer him as a sacrifice for safe passage,” I said grimly.Byron’s eyes widened. As always, he was oblivious when it came to jokes, “Does that work? If it does, you aren&rsquo

‘I am in love.’ I heard Byron speaking his thoughts out to me. ‘Nathalia, do you see how beautiful this creature is?!’‘Yeah. I do. But we don’t know if it is hostile or not.’ I agreed while trying to maintain our distance from the creature when it lowered its head towards us. I couldn’t read or communicate with it, which is weird. It’s like this creature was…a blank slate. Or more like it can’t thoroughly communicate yet. ‘Byron, what are you doing?!’ I slapped his hand down the moment he tried to pet the kelpie.‘I want to touch it. Let me touch

It took me a while to realize that the goblin shark was speaking to Peanut, and I froze. Prince? Why are they addressing Peanut as a prince?The arthropod monster extended its body, so it got closer to us, ‘Prince, your mother has been looking all over for you. She’s worried sick.’‘Nathalia? What’s going on? Why aren’t they attacking? Are you doing this?’ I could not imagine what Byron must be thinking of all of this right now.‘Honestly? I am at a loss as well because they are calling Peanut a prince.’ I told him.‘Prince? Prince of what?’
Through The Storm Chapter 57 Regroup
Nalu escorted Byron and I back to the ship, where we had to retreat for a while because of fear that the sea monsters would decide to attack. We were still pretty close to the Mariana Trench but at a much more shallower area that the sea monsters would not dare to cross because humans would easily spot them.“Everyone relax. Especially you, Nat.” Trei stopped his pacing so he could turn to look at me, who was currently resting my elbows on my knees while I stile to pay attention to their conversation.I looked up at my best friend, “Why me? I am perfectly relaxing.” Trei just eyed me after I said that before his gaze shifted to my right left leg that was currently dancing. “Okay, fine! But can you blame me? We were so close to getting the last piece, but we didn’t all because I made the wrong command. Now, we’re stuck h

I hastily kicked myself off of my bed and I fell on the metal floor of the submarine. I threw away the sheets and ran for my door. I did not stop until I reached the ship’s lobby.When I got there, everyone seemed to be on high alert as the alarm was blazing at us due to an incoming threat that the radar picked up.“Skyr!” He was the first person that I approached to ask about the situation. He was standing by the radar while barking orders at Trei and the others. Trei was managing the wheel while Emily and Watson were poised at the weapon system that Byron and Skyr newly configured.Speaking of my brother, where is he?My eyes began to scan my surroundings while I tried to find my sibling, but I still didn&rsq

“...and after that, the sea serpent named Silisk was finally reunited with his beloved master. Lord Meruem.” I glanced down at the two children before me as I finished the story. Two girls. One had platinum blonde hair, and the other one had a pure white one. Though they look like sisters, twins even, they’re not. They’re just cousins. The girl with the platinum blonde hair is named Alice. She’s five years old. Her eyes were a pretty shade of blue, just like her mother. Her dress, which was obviously a product from the surface, is teal in color. She never pays any attention to my story, not unless it involves animals. She kind of reminds me of my brother, in a way, who is still obsessed with sea creatures up to this date. The white-haired little girl is named Olive. She’s also five. Her eyes are of the same shade of yellow as her father's. She has wrink

“Holy shit. That thing is so nasty up close.” I could hear Trei’s commentary somewhere in the distance, but I could not look for him because I could not get distracted as I held Silisk in place.‘Master, we’ll help.’ Dodo, one of the Megalodons, came out of the water and tackled Silisk away. But before they could disappear into the water, Iocules came to assist. His long tentacles wrapped around the serpent’s mouth, and he forced it close. Because Silisk was too big for the Megalodon, the other sea creatures assisted, including the guardians from Urei’s domain.A Kraken, three megalodons, and the five sea monsters weren’t enough to keep the serpent in the water. It wasn’t until Fifi arrived and placed her weight along with the others that they were able to keep the snake in check.

Riding on Nalu’s back while he runs on the water’s surface was way worse than when he’s running underwater. There was no buoyancy force that fights and cancels his speed, and let me tell you, Nalu is called a water horse for a reason. Byron and I had to keep on our helmets because of the wind resistance at Nalu’s speed.If Nalu had not wrapped his watery mane on us around us as seatbelts, we might have been thrown to the water a few minutes earlier.“Nathalia, where is he taking us?” My brother asked behind me, which I heard from the radio in our helmets.“Puerto Rico. Apparently, that’s Silisk’s next target.” I said and glanced down on the octopus curled on my arm as I grabbed onto Nalu’s mane tightly.
Through The Storm Chapter 71 Group Separation
Our group separated for the plan. Knowing that Ylgarr is dead, Atlantis no longer has a leader to command them. And, with the release with the serpent, Skyr was certain that the people must be in a state of panic. Also, with Rachel’s situation, she needs immediate help, which she can find in Atlantis.Trei plans to head for the rebel facility to talk to his great-something grandfather and send help to assist us in the battle. If there’s one thing that we know that Silisk would do, it's that he wants to floor the lands. But the question is, where?“You guys take Fifi,” Byron instructed Skyr before petting his prehistoric dinosaur buddy when she let out a whine in protest. “Sorry, Fifi. I need you to protect Rachel while delivering them safely back to Atlantis. Can you do that for me?” Byron got his response when Fifi stopped w

Silisk was gone. He managed to escape the storm by devouring the blood of Iocules(Max) that lingered in the water so he could pass the storm. We didn’t go after him. Instead, Skyr, Fifi, and I looked for Byron and Rachel.We weren’t the ones who found them. It was Trei who contacted us and informed us that Nalu was able to them. He says that they’re floating on what’s left of Silisk’s dead skin in the water. It wasn’t long because I used my connection to track down Nalu and immediately found the others. They were all standing on the massive snakeskin chunk on the water that served as a mini-island.I did not wait for Fifi to stop as I rushed towards them. When I landed on the skin, I felt relieved when I saw Byron and Rachel, but not in a good way. Byron was holding onto Rachel tightly as Emily tried to stop the bleeding from
Through The Storm Chapter 69 Nightmare
I held onto Byron’s arms as the island began to shake violently and Silisk slowly awakened. What seemed like a massive rock behind the crazed form of Ylgarr suddenly began to shake. It wasn’t until slits formed and opened that I realized that those were Silisk’s eyes that cracked open. The slits of his pupils focused on us before raising his head.His body, which we were standing on, began to move and lifted us up and away from Ylgarr. Watching Silisk shedding away his scales was terrifying. I felt like I was watching my nightmare come true right before my eyes.He was massive that we were just as tall as his slitted pupils. We had to look up just to watch him emerge and pull his face off of his shedding that seemed to stick together due to time.“He lives. He LIVES! I DID IT!” I

A sudden wave of turbulence burst in our way the moment we crossed the barrier that Helighor warned us about. Byron fought off most of the wave that was headed our way using his magic. But it was pitch black in these parts of the water that Byron couldn’t fight off every wave that threatened to wash us away. The only lights here are coming from our helmets and the submarine that Emily and Watson were in.Falco and the other metahumans moved closer to our huddled group and pushed us back whenever it seemed like we were going to slip away. I saw a couple of light flickering by Fifi’s armpits, which assured me that at least Emily and Watson were still with us.‘Helighor!’ I reached out to him with my mind because I didn’t know how long we could last in this weather.

The next morning we left the crate back on the island and only brought what we could with us. All of us were fully geared as we rode onto Fifi’s back. Byron, Trei, Rachel, Skyr, and I rode Fifi while Emily and Watson were driving the battleships they managed to scavenge.Skyr and I were sitting side by side as we rode Fifi. We haven’t talked about it yet, but it was evident that our relationship has changed after that kiss. We managed to talk about it last night and agreed that it’s not the time to tell anyone about us just yet because it might cause a distraction for some of us. We had never been in a relationship before until recently, so we were still awkward about it. But all we know is that we got more motivation to help us win this war.I noticed Jack swimming at my other side while looking in my direction. Skyr ignored him, but he didn&

We were riding on top of Fifi’s back when we met up with the others. I thought that we would be meeting a ship, but it turns out that it was just a huge crate of gear supplies. We mounted that box onto Fifi’s back with the help of the metahuman squadron C, who was also not happy with getting abandoned. Emily, Watson, and Rachel were the only ones who talked to us. They informed us that they were able to scavenge a few working pieces of equipment from the wreckage on the previous war. Watson was able to scavenge a couple of ships that he and Emily could use. As for Rachel, she still has her handgun that she was currently cleaning.While the others were busy talking and checking on the crate, Byron and I sat at the backmost part on Fifi’s back as we followed behind Helighor.‘So…’
