Sitting down next to the bed while holding that person's hand tight, Ryoken gazed at Spectre who hadn't woken up since that day. Even now, that horrible moment still haunted him.

Leaning down, he rubbed his cheek against their hand like a small animal craving for its master gentle touch. Words escaped his mouth but like always, that person didn't show any reaction. He stayed there for three hours before leaving. Today too, he gonna make those humans pay.

...

Arriving at the summer castle after a day riding, Yusaku gazed at the beautiful blue sea. This was the place where they met for the first time.

Under his command, a ship had already been prepared along with the best crew in the whole kingdom. As much as the young prince wanted to sail right away, both his guards and he were exhausted after the trip. They hardly took any rest on the way here.

When he got to meet the captain again, it was already the next morning. Everyone was hyped and ready to sail, so once he gave the order, they quickly moved into position and the ship started to move. With the help of the strong wind, it didn't take very long before they reach the location where the middle age sailor claimed disaster struck. However, even when they went pass it, nothing happened.

Everyone except Yusaku started to question if everything they heard was real or not when a singing echoed in the air. They were all mentally prepared for this when they accepted to go on this ship. Yet, when Yusaku turned around, his eyes widened in shock. From the crew to the guards, all of their eyes were blank. Beside him, no one seems to be able to resist this beautiful singing.

The next thing he knew, the whole ship leaned to the left as the sailor suddenly steered the other way. Lost his balance, the young prince fell and hit hard against the starboard. Due to the crash, his back really hurt but that didn't stop him from grabbing on the edge and pushing himself up.

Seems to understand he would try to stop them, beside the one steering the ship, everyone charged toward Yusaku with their sword out.

When he saw that, he quickly pulled his sword out, guarding against the attacks while kicking some of them back. But no matter how skill he might be, there was just too many. He couldn't bring himself to hurt them, so that was another downside. Very soon, he once again crashed into the starboard as his sword fell into the sea.

It was only for a few short seconds but as he turned his body, grabbing the egde to push himself up like last time, he saw them, a pair of clear sapphire eyes. On the other hand, upon meeting his emerald eyes, those beautiful eyes became wavy.

At the same time, the singing stopped. Slowly, everyone regained their consciousness. When the sailor saw there was heading straight into the reef, he quickly steered the other way. The ship was damaged but it wasn't something they couldn't handle. If it was a second later, they would surely end up like the others.

While they were all relief to be alive, Yusaku ran to the other side, leaning his whole body out, looking at the boulder far away. But it was no use. That person was no longer there.
