As Lucien prepares the Naga and Mermaid army in a very enjoyable way, the people of the northernmost town of the Mermaid Kingdom go through the darkest day of their lives.
A few days ago, the most powerful and bravest Mermaids in town left their posts to join Saria in what they called 'Rise of the Mermaids.' Fighting Tyrion's tyranny became their priority, but when the sinister storm brought dark clouds and rain of Krakens upon their city, the lack of warriors became their fall.
After ordering all children and Mermaids who couldn't fight to flee towards the capital, the city's guardian gathered the few warriors left to fight the Krakens.
The small group had no hope of surviving that attack but was intent merely on serving as a distraction for the other Mermaids to flee, a noble sacrifice that turned out not to be necessary as the rescue party arrived just in time.
When the sea rose in the shape of a gigantic blue whale, those Mermaids were sure that their Queen had come to save them.
But after a second of relief, a dark concern grew in the hearts of each of those Mermaids. Nea is, without a doubt, the strongest Mermaids currently in the Blue Star, and her speed in the water is unsurpassed by anyone else. That, added to the lack of an army behind her, makes her people think she is alone.
No Mermaid wants to see their beloved Queen die fighting so many Krakens alone. But then they saw a small ship emerge from behind the high waves of the raging sea.
"Pirates???" The Mermaids would recognize the ships of their human allies, the Rising Phoenix Clan, so they can only think of the Sea Devil's crew as pirates.
But to the surprise of the Mermaids, the famous matriarch of the Rising Phoenix Clan soars to the sky in the form of a great fiery bird. Not only she, but several beautiful women fly after Maya as Mira and Angela lead the group that attacks the Krakens from the water.

A nice surprise indeed; no Mermaid complains when such incredible allies support their Queen and even the terrifying way that Donna and the Sins fight doesn't take the expectant smile off their faces.
That city seemed lost, and its people had no hope of surviving, but now the Mermaids participate in the most impressive battle of their lives.
They wouldn't believe what they're witnessing if they didn't see it with their own eyes, and many still can't believe how easily that group of beautiful women destroy the gigantic and terrifying Krakens with such grace and cooperation.
The battle is somehow beautiful, but it also ends quickly as the Krakens' bodies sink lifelessly into the cold ocean. And such an incredible show has a worthy finale when Maya flies even higher into the sky and becomes a sun, pushing away all the dark clouds from that place.
Her light is like a beacon in the night, bringing comfort and hope to the hearts of all the Mermaids who witness it; the darkness can no longer hurt anyone there.
Tears of happiness run down the faces of those thrilled Mermaids. They will never forget every single one of those women who saved their lives today, and they will become eternal legends in the Blue Star.
But it's not just those Mermaids who won't forget the faces of Lucien's sisters and wives…
In Tyrion's cold, sinister laboratory, he and his dark Siren watch through a water mirror as the group led by Nea and Maya destroy so many Krakens with ease.

Angry and frustrated, Tyrion punches the image of the girls in the reflecting pool; but his fist only stirs the water, which quickly shows the girls' proud and triumphant expressions again.
Tyrion was so sure that his army of Krakens would destroy more than half of the Mermaid Kingdom easily; but now, as the image of those beautiful and powerful women drops through his fingers, he is very confused.
"Who are these women???" He looks at Tanu, the Siren, with an inquisitive expression. "And how can they be so powerful???"
The Siren keeps looking at the women in the water mirror with a strange expression. She's desperately trying to contain the envy that grows in her heart, but after seeing Daisy, Angela, and other of Lucien's wives fighting, she's sure she chose to be loyal to the wrong man.
"It's because of him..." She answers while wondering about the limits of Lucien's powers. "The boy... these women are boosted by the power of Lust."
"All of them???" Tyrion can't help but be impressed by how Lucien can empower women. His girls are still a long way from having a power equivalent to the Cosmic Realm, but they're already so much impressive.
"..." Tanu bites her lip as she imagines Lucien having sex with all those women, and she can't help but wonder what it would be like to have all that power just for her and her alone.
"TANU?!?!?" Tyrion is furious and confused, so he yells when the Siren takes too long to answer his question.
"AH!?!" She is startled but quickly regains focus. "Yes, my King, they all seem to have that boy's energy, even Ne..."
window.pubfuturetag = window.pubfuturetag || [];window.pubfuturetag.push({unit: "663633fa8ebf7442f0652b33", id: "pf-8817-1"})Tanu barely has time to finish speaking before Tyrion brutally grabs her by the neck, preventing her from even breathing. The poor Siren squirms as her eyes turn red from the pressure in her head, but Tyrion doesn't ease the grip as he looks into her eyes.
"You dare lie to me?!?!" He asks in an even more furious tone.
"M-m-m-mm..." Tanu can't speak, so she tries to shake her head while begging for her life.
Tyrion knows he can't fulfill his desires without his Siren yet, so he lets go of her. She falls to the ground and starts choking as she tries to breathe again. "I'm sorry, my King... I didn't mean that she... maybe that was a mistake... I mean, by being near to him, some of Lust's energy must have..."
"Of course you were wrong!" Tyrion arrogantly speaks as he looks at the image of Nea in the water mirror. "She's too proud to accept any common man, let alone that idiot boy!"
Tanu can't help but roll her eyes quickly while Tyrion is turned away. She knows he never intended to have Mira's affections, especially after stealing her throne and power. But as a very greedy man, he couldn't help but desire the beautiful and perfect Mermaid Queen.
Of course, Tyrion still desires Nea's power, but within his greedy heart, he hopes to have her as his Queen; only someone amazing and proud like her could be by his side.
But he thought so before he met Lust and see Lucien's other wives in action. Now, Tyrion desires many other women as well as everything else Lucien has.
Envy and greed are feelings that, in a very intense dose, can completely blind anyone, and since Tyrion is not stupid, he tries to calm down and focus on the problems he has to solve right now.
And his main problem is shining over that Mermaid town right now. His eyes turn red with anger, and he questions Tanu again. "How can she do that again... her body has no limits???"
"Her vitality has no limit." The Siren responds while looking at Maya's image. "I figured she could do that trick again, but I underestimated that ship's speed and Its craw's skills."
"DAMN!!!" Tyrion punches the water mirror again. Then he turns to Tanu. "Send all the Krakens to the capital of the Mermaid Kingdom; even with that ship, they can't get there in less than a full day."
"The storm will need at least half a day to get there..." Tanu speaks in a hesitant tone, fearing Tyrion could get upset and beat her more. "And a few more hours for me to get all of our troops through the portals."
He really wants to hit someone to ease his frustrations, but he knows his victim can't be Tanu right now. "Alright, do the best you can, and when the time comes, my army will be ready... I will leave no stone unturned in their beloved city... and when the boy comes, I will take everything he loves."
"For sure, my King." Tanu nods, but in her mind, she has more doubts than certainties. And even fearing Tyrion's wrath, she still tries to do her job as his advisor. "But... what about Maya? I mean, she's going to make trouble for us."
"Don't worry about her..." Tyrion's lips curl into a sinister smile as he imagines causing Maya so much pain because she ruined his plans. "Did you forget I have that woman???"
Tanu quickly remembers that Layla, Kayla's mother and Maya's adopted daughter, is in Tyrion's prison.
"That stupid woman..." Tyrion shakes his head while talking about Maya. "These humans aren't even her family, but she loves them dearly... that's good because when I start ripping out that woman's guts in front of her, she's going to behave."
"Guess so..." Tanu tries to think positively, but after meeting Lucien, she can't stop thinking about how Tyrion can only solve things with violence and fear while Lucien has innumerous qualities.
