156 A Broken Statue

The blue-robed girl stood on a boulder on a piece of green grassland. Her dress was fluttering in the gentle breeze. She looked like a beautiful nymph made of water. She carried a pleasant ambience of an orchid in this remote and desolate valley.

The goddess-like girl looked a little puzzled – as if lost in a deep thought. She was gazing blankly into the distance.

"Is that him...?" the girl’s rosy lips finally moved after a long while as she mumbled to herself.

Suddenly, a shadow emerged in the distance, and advanced towards her with a lightning speed.

The blue-robed girl shook her head, and hid her puzzled facial expression. She then turned around, and looked towards the approaching shadow.

The shadow continued to grow bigger with each passing second until it finally became clear. It was the half-man and half-fish creature of the sea race. His body was covered with a suit of black armor.
