Over the distant horizon, dark clouds continue to gather, creating a cold and gloomy scene. Even the youngest Mermaids in the army can see that something big and possibly bad is about to happen.
They can all feel the difference in the water, the sea getting angry, and their Queen concerned. The Mermaids wonder if this has anything to do with Lucien's arrival, or is he the help against a bigger problem?
Five miles from the Mermaid camp, Nea also wonders about that while looking southwest. She doesn't have as good eyesight as Lucien and the Sins, but due to her affinity to water and specifically connection to the Blue World's seas, she can feel a group of Mermaids swimming quickly towards her.
Nea can even feel the desperation of those Mermaids as if they were running from imminent death. But then she turns around when she notices other people coming up from behind.
