Chapter 84 Atlantis; CatacombsAll the other members of the team seem appalled, their expressions reflecting their concern and uncertainty. After a moment of silence, Bryan strokes forward, his expression filled with a hint of worry. "If it's a tunnel system, there's probably an entrance to the library down there, but I would be worried about getting lost," he says, scanning the group to gauge their reactions. Naida remains silent, seemingly undecided, while Finrir nods thoughtfully. Finrir turns to Tritan and signs, "It's risky, and there's no guarantee we will find something that would help my pod. Do you really think it's worth the extra time it would take to find a way into the library and explore? We still have the whole ocean to cross."Tritan takes a moment to ponder the question, contemplating the words of the guardian and the potential knowledge that lies within the library. "We should do this," Tritan signs, his determination evident. Finrir nods in agreement and looks around

Chapter 86 Atlantis; Was the Nest Disturbed?As Finrir swims alongside Hunter and Naida, his focus shifts to a mental connection with Tritan. Sending his thoughts through the mind-link, he urgently communicates, "We must get out of the catacombs. The guardians' nest is down here." Moments later, Tritan's response echoes in his mind, carrying a mixture of news and conflicting emotions. "Joe just received a link from Bryan. Madissa found the entrance to the library."The mention of the library stirs a hint of frustration within Finrir. He understands Tritan's desire to explore the vast knowledge it holds, yet the proximity to the guardians' nest raises concerns. Despite his reservations, Finrir decides not to contest Tritan's decision. Instead, he responds, "We are heading back to the entrance. They took the path behind the entrance, right?" Tritan confirms their mental connection, reinforcing the plan for their reunion.With a renewed sense of purpose, Finr

Chapter 88 Atlantis; Retribution pt1The next morning, as the merfolk prepare their belongings, Finrir's gaze drifts towards the outside world through small crevices in the wall. To his surprise, he catches a glimpse of red scales disappearing from view—a sign of the colossal guardian serpent circling the library. Filled with concern, he swiftly swims over to the group and signs urgently to everyone, "There must be another guardian, a red one. I believe it is circling the library, waiting for us."Hunter, with a mix of curiosity and apprehension, signs in response, "How did the guardians know that we were in the library? We were given permission to enter Atlantis."Finrir, his expression a blend of concern and mild reproach, signs back, "They can smell and taste us in the water. You nearly tried to steal one of their eggs. How could you be so reckless?"Understanding the gravity of the situation, the merfolk gather closer, thei
