The cries of the sea

Commander Addam was tensed looking at the sea. His eyebrows curled with tension. He couldn't understand this condition of restless sea, as he wondered this is not the part of year when storms would attack.

The tides that are higher then usual, invading the borders from three sides. It may cause unimaginable destruction to Menoran. He was lost in his own thoughts when Aella spoke from behind, "The thing that concerns you is surely worth concerning."

As he saw princess in front of him he immediately bowed to her, hanging his head low he said, "Princess ! I was just wondering about these high tides. Our army may suffer because of it and Menoran might be endangered." Aella sighed and said, "Normally the highest tide would be upto 16 meters but this time tides range upto 40 meters."

Arron who happened to pass by there heard their conversation and interrupted them by saying, "I never knew you were interested in sea." Keeping her cold aura she spoke, "Commander Addam ! You have to help me with something before the last meeting in royal court as we leave for border."

She left without even glancing at General Arron, "She is ignoring the most handsome man of the kingdom." He uttered annoyingly. Addam fake coughed and said, "You ignored her, the most attracted women in seven kingdoms for so long. Actually you have hurt her feelings by denying her love many times." He went silent earning a glare from Arron.

Addam ran away from there saying, "I need to help princess." Arron stood there staring into the sea wondering, "What have you done princess ? I am attracted to you like my life depends on you."

Meanwhile deep into the sea in the palace of pearls, the queen cried continuously for the 16 years old prince, who was captured by the human kind. The king was losing his patience now.

She stood in front of her angry king as he commanded her to go on land and find his son. A woman with a pale skin and brown eyes who was neither a mermaid nor a sea monster. Her lean body made her even more attractive. To other creatures she maybe a mystery but for sea king, she was like a daughter who was trained to protect the sea.

She could breathe in water and also live on land like it's her home. Whenever sea faced a problem either because of mankind or sea monsters. She would go with her army to get rid of it. She had goblin sharks as her soldiers, who could turn into half human with pair of legs and arms. They could tear off human flesh in no time with their sharp teeth.

Her name was given to her in the memory of her mother, Isabelle. She was known to the sea world as belle. She was getting aggressive as she faced tremendous problems at a time.

She could not figure out who took prince away. She was getting restless when she found that mermaids have decided to wage war on human. They found a way to cause destruction as they despised her existence being a sea protector and a peace maker.

King politely called her name and said, "Belle Your mother has done so much for the sea and now it's your duty as you are blessed to be adapted on land as well as sea. " She was clueless because she has never been out of the sea for so long, even though she always won against the army of red octopus and stonefishes dared not pass the kingdom as they feared her.

She was still worried for queen as she cried a lot, this was not only harmful to her health but to the sea also. If she continued to cry like this. It will cause the sea to create destruction as tides move along with the mood of queen.

Being the favorite and closest to king and queen she was also treated as a royal, she only had one thing missing in her life. It was her lost brother who was 2 years older then her. He was separated from her when the war broke 2000 years ago. She lost her parents in that war and her brother too.

The hope for her brother to be alive was still living as her maroon crystal pendant around her neck still glowed which indicates her brother is alright. She was a unique creature who could turn into a mystic being as well as human probably the only one of her kind in the sea.

The scariest she looked as that creature, the ravishing she looked in her human form. Before leaving the depth of sea she went to queen and held her hands as she said to her, "I hope you trust me that I will bring the prince of sea back. Even if I have to destroy everything that hinders my way to reach him." The queen looked at her and said still sobbing, "He is the next king of the sea, if you fail to bring him back, then this is the promise of your sea queen, my wrath will ruin the land creatures."

Belle looked at the queen with determination and spoke, "I promise you if I don't bring prince back in 1 week, I won't return to sea and will die as the wrath of sea queen attacks the land."

She took a deep breathe on the surface of the sea as she sighed and thought to herself, "1 week to find the prince and calm the cry of sea, 1 week to get the vicious mermaids into trial who try to ruin the equilibrium of peace. 1 week to keep the secrets of sea as a secret."

Her pet the talking baby shark spoke from behind her getting her out of her thoughts, "Captain I don't understand how will you find prince in such large world ?" She replied him with her deep voice, "do not worry baby shark my mother from heavens will surely send me some help."

As she closed her eyes touching her maroon crystal pendant, she felt huge ripples forming far from her she gradually swam towards the object unknown to her as baby shark refrained her from doing this thing.

Her calm yet worried face turned into angry scary one as she saw the young prince tied unconscious and vulnerable in the big ship. She saw a man backfacing her going close to the prince without thinking for a second she screamed and attacked him, but luckily he was fast enough to block her attack.

The noise made prince awake as he got his senses back, he shouted to get her attention. When she realized the man is not attacking but blocking her, she stopped as she heard prince shouting her name, "Instructor Belle"

She approached him and started to untie him when the man tried to stop her but she growled at him, that's when prince stopped her saying, "No instructor dont untie me, those who captured me tortured me a lot they stroked me with a poisonous arrow if you untie this rope the poison will spread and kill me."

Belle was shocked to hear that a tear rolled down her eyes as she spoke, "The little prince has grown up. He bare so much." Anger rushed in her veins as she growled at the condition of prince.

Prince calmed her down and assured her, "I would have been dead if he didn't save me, because of me he couldn't reach to his Commander now she will be angry on him." When her attention diverted towards him a wave of guilt rushed in her as she apologized him.

"It's okay madam, by the way it's my nature to protect sea." He smiled at her and again spoke, "I am Alga, a mystican. Saving prince was something I had to do, after all he is an innocent kid. Don't thank me for this." Belle was trying to contemplate the situation when prince said, "Alga killed everyone in this ship. He fights like you. He has even more powers then you."

As the tides became violent Belle thought to shrug it off and decided to take prince back, when prince stopped her and said, "Alga said his friend can treat me. Also the prince of Roosha took my crown. If you take me to the kingdom in this condition, all injured without my crown. Do you know the consequences ?" Belle growled in frustration and spoke, "Do I have another option ? Queen is crying continuously causing storms in sea"

Prince nodded and again spoke, "We need to take risk instructor. I can't lose an amazing teacher like you. That vicious mermaid is already trying to find ways to take your place." Belle agreed with him and replied, "hmm they will find the chance and attack land if they saw you in this condition." Alga interrupted their conversation and spoke, "How many days you have, to get him back to the kingdom ?"

She sighed and spoke, "1 week" Alga nodded and spoke, '"dont worry we will treat prince and get his crown back in 1 week, then the sea will also calm down." The baby shark interrupted them and spoke from the water, "Well it's not going to be easy as mermaids joined hands with some vicious human king to kill Belle. So they can take over kingdom"

Prince understood this and said, "I knew it. It was her she trapped me and sent me to that king. It was all planned to destroy you instructor. When I tried to connect with you. Out of nowhere Alga reached there and saved me killing hundreds of soldiers."

After a while they felt like their ship is shaking, before they could react many huge red octopuses attacked them. They were fighting intensely. There were dozen of them yet they could not outnumber two warriors.

Suddenly many stonefishes flew there showering them with their dangerous venom. Now the warriors were getting weak they couldn't keep up the fight, as they were losing they saw a huge sea dragon coming towards them.

Belle panicked but Alga smirked and stopped struggling and said, "No need to fight now. Watch him." The dragon scared every creature away. He blew out a golden air from his mouth getting rid of the residues of venom from ship.

Belle was mesmerized, her eyes wide opened as she saw a huge sea dragon changing into a beautiful man her mouth hung wide open, when Alga teased her chuckling, "He is four thousand years older then you, our Professor Jeon. Stop drooling over him." He stopped earning a glare from her.

Jeon looked at both of them, for a moment he went back to his memories. He ignored that time and spoke to Alga. "Did you attack some human group of soldiers and injured their prince ?" Alga hung his head low and nodded "yes"

Jeon took a deep breathe and spoke, "The demon of wrath has instigated them now, they are moving toward Menoran. Its a war not just about sea but land too. First sort out the sea then land." He treated prince with his potion and again asked him to take his decision glancing at Belle for the last time before he swam away again transforming into dragon.

Alga decided to sort out the problem of sea kingdom first. He took prince and Belle deep into the sea to reunite the family. King was astonished to see Alga but for now the crown of prince mattered to him as it held the power to control half of the sea creatures.

They were discussing the next move when again stonefishes attacked, Belle growled and said, "How can they manage to irritate me every time by presenting their ass to be kicked." Alga smirk and replied, "Let's end them once and for all."

It was a huge intense war they fought for three days and two nights. Belle with the help of Alga got rid of every stonefish while octopuses ran away to mermaids. Alga promised to return crown of prince in 1 week on the condition if he fails, The sea shall swallow land in it's wrath.

The journey was long, Army of vicious mermaids, angry octopuses and hunt for crown of prince was all stirring up in Alga's mind and his worry for Aella was a big trouble as he thought, "I hope she is doing good."

Meanwhile, she questioned to herself that how did prince connected him when he was in danger, when only my kind can be royal protector ? She questioned to herself who is he ? Both of them traveled to Menoran through Alga's time portal directly to the backyard of autumn palace where Aella sat discussing some documents with Addam.

Little did Aella knew someone was admiring her sitting far under the shadow of tree. Suddenly a huge splash of water made Aella smile, while Addam lost his consciousness. Arron was calm yet amused by the scene he witnessed in front of his eyes.

Alga and Belle both drenched in water stood there while Aella chuckled and taunted Alga, "I feel like I am meeting the sweet nerdy Alga whom everyone teased 500 years ago in royal academy when he made mistake while making portals." Alga frowned at her and spoke, "Do not tease me commander ! Seeing you dressed up like women is not at all digestible to me. Its just that silly sorcerers might have cast some spell."

He widened his eyes when he saw Arron from far running towards them, he couldn't utter words when a strong punch landed on his face as Arron growled, "Stay away from my wife." before he could further react Aella stopped him and spat at Arron harshly, "Stay away from my friend General. He will never harm me."

Belle silently stood there as Arron looked at Aella perplexed. She spoke to him coldly, "We will be leaving for border day after tomorrow, do not trouble me till then." Arron was hurt but he silently left from there.

Alga looked at her with question but she stopped him and ordered to go after Neil and Alfiyya. On the other hand General got the message from border about kingdom of Roosha as he smirked and thought to himself, "So she took the step I waited for."
