"Are you alright?" "Mhmm." the young man nodded. "Do you need anything?" "No." "Well, tell us if you do." The rest of his family doubted that he'd speak up, but then again, there was nothing they could do for him. This young man was normally well-behaved so the Dai family did not have any complaints and simply allowed the young man to be. His family was affluent in a way, and surprisingly, unlike those portrayed in cinemas, movies and other shows. Their family did not have any brothers trying to…-

Dai Song Lan's reasons for hiding information from the rest of the Four Pillars in Shen Society was unknown for anyone save for himself. Perhaps he might have said it if Han Jing had asked it—but since the man failed to do so and was happy to accept money from him, then it was unnecessary. He did not like speaking too much. The black pearl in his hand was tiny and almost like a marble, but because it had come from the depths of the oceans, the concentration of the ocean's essence was supreme. He…

The morning sky was a beautiful shade of blue as the Demon Lord zipped through the human contraption called a rollercoaster with nothing but a blank face. Jilanya had already begun to regret the decision of returning and joining them—there was nothing to obtain here. The Human wasn't capable of defeating her, whether it be in his world and the one created by the Creators. She did not understand why she was here—even if her old friend and enemy was here, it didn't mean that she'd truly waste time doing…

Han Jing knew that his was up, but he questioned if this Mermaid's voice could bypass that, or he really was just some sort of sucker to women like Odele or Chan Lee who were bubbly and smiled at him. He rubbed his face. "Geez. Must be nice to have that kind of talent." "It did have its price," Odele said with a small sigh. "Now I cannot assure you if it is true history, or a passed on tale—but they said, my people were once capable of taking not only the waters, but even the land and air. We were…

What did Odele expect from arriving at a place of human festivities? She heard voices from the sea and oceans. While the Human, the Demon and the Wood Elf argued about things related to safety and precaution—she quickly headed to the location. She moved past the crowd of people and pushed against them, getting knocked back by people rushing. It was like an impenetrable wave, difficult to navigate around. She was swept back and forth save for the time she finally used her voice. "Excuse me—out of the…

The gleeful shouts of a Mermaid rang throughout the entire amusement park, similar to the excited squeals of a dolphin—Han Jing quickly clamped her mouth with his hand. His mere action caught the stares of some people, but he eventually waited for Odele to calm down. Faeran stifled a chuckle, a hand on his mouth at the clear discomfort on Han Jing's face. Once Odele stopped wildly gesturing and waving her arms about, continuing with her dialogue, he let his hand drop. "Mhphf, mhpf—ah, sorry. I got a…

Han Jing bolted up from his bed and nearly knocked his head against Odele. He flailed his arms wildly, until he realized where he was and who he was with. The man was in the little hotel's sofa and currently had a Mermaid who clutched her head, while she herself had been hovering just above him. Her knees rested on either side of his body, uncaring and possibly unaware of such closeness. Or didn't care about it at all. The bright-eyed Mermaid gave him a look and laughed. "I was about to wake you up,…

If you were rich, then you paid for protection. If you happened to be just a normal citizen or even poor, then there were instances where other people took 'payment' for your 'protection'. Whether one looked at the world as a bright place where people lived in harmony or a place of strife and competition—both had to admit that there was trouble when one's interests were harmed or interfered by another individual. A great example might have been the Beastfolk Uprising that had taken place several years…

The street split open—numerous cracks fractured and turned the street into an uneven terrain. People caught in the center of the street were flung back aside and thrown off their feet as magic turned the smooth road into a jagged one. Numerous concrete of the pavement strewn up and scattered like spiked rain as the magic faded. Han wiped the blood off his nose with and lifted the tip of his wand, feeling a bit woozy, but otherwise still alive. His ears were ringing, but he caught the sight of some men…

Consciences were damning. Once the liquor cleared out from his head, Russel considered his words and experienced a sharp pain in his gut and a bitter and raw feeling down his throat. Although that might have been just him vomiting earlier at all the alcohol he drank earlier into a bucket. While that still might have not been enough to start looking for Han to apologize when the man was probably back at the Academy—the scrawnier Guardsman, Bo, he claimed that Han wasn't safe yet. And it was only due to…
