Watching the red sea water slowly spread to where he was, hot tears slowly dripped down Ryone's chin. The sharks have left, leaving a few unchewed body parts flowing on the surface. He managed to survive but what was the point? He lost his best friend, the only one who had always been there for him. Just as the pain was slowly tearing him apart, a dolphin showed its face while letting out a sound to attract his attention.

Once he noticed it, the creature showed him its back. Laying there was Spectre. He was still breathing but barely. The harpoon was stuck tight at his stomach. Ryoken wanted to pull it out but then there would be nothing stopping the bleeding from the big hole. Right now, the thing that could kill him was the only thing keep him alive.

There was no time to lose. Ryoken asked the dolphin for help and it happily accpeted. Once he got a grip of its fin, they both dived down and it started swimming at maximum speed, pulling him along.

On the way, many sharks appeared. They came because of Spectre's blood. However, they didn't do anything. They just stayed on the sideline, watching like statues.

When they reached the gate, Ryoken saw the Royal Physician standing there along with his assistants. They quickly took Spectre and brought him away for treatment.

"Please don't worry, your highness. We won't let him die." Said the Physician. "Also, the king wants to speak to you. Now, if you would excuse me." He bowed then swan after the others.

Turning back, the young prince said his thank to the lovely creature while patting its head. It smiled and gave him a kiss on the cheek then swam away in the other direction. After that, he headed inside under the reverence of the guards.

…

Sitting on his throne with the trident hovering next to him, Kiyoshi looked at his son slowly approached the center of the room.

"Father."

"I see your voice have returned. Do you understand why we mustn't show ourself in the presence of humans now?"

"You knew?"

"It isn't everyday that someone who possessed the Siren voice made an appearance. I'm sure you understand what I mean."

When he heard that, Ryoken uncounciously raised his hand up, touching his neck. He knew when he first started singing, he had awakened some kinds of power which had been sleeping deep inside him. But to think it was that lost power, he started to tremble just a little bit.

Different from a normal merman's and mermaid's singing which called upon help from the other sea creatures, the Siren voice seduced every living creature who heard it, turning them into obeying puppets ready to do everything the one singing commanded them, even giving up their lives.

"I hope now you realize how cruel that being could be."

"I do. That's why..." He looked up with his eyes cold as ice. "...I will make them pay."

With that said, he left. The next day, he still went to the forbidden area and sat on the boulder like always. However, he was no longer waiting for that person. When a ship appeared in sight, he started to sing. All it took was a few short moments and it was gone from existence.

Following the current, the bloody water and the remaining of the ship drifted to him while the sharks gathered and circled around the boulder. Yet, none of them made a move. They probably understood as long as they stuck with him, they would never have to worry about food anymore. As for Ryoken, he didn't mind either.

Untill everything came to an end, he would never stop. That horrible being who hurted his friend, polluted their beautiful home, he will kill them all, every single last one.
