Chapter 4 "A Crystal From the Deep"

Back to the present, Erdeon is still crushing on oblivious Shin. The twins have told us that it's safe here, far from the elven and far from the ocean conquerer.

Now that I think of it, I haven't seen the man anywhere, I need to find him for the third chapter of this book.

Erdeon, Toma, Yuma, have you seen a man with a strange clock like earing?

The three of them stared at each other before facing and answering me.

No, we haven't seen a man with a clock, but we did saw a dog with a clock like Collar, it jumped to the sea with a bottle that consisted a paper.

A paper? That must be the third chapter, we need to get that, Erdeon, do you know where he put the bottle?

Erdeon then pointed to an island in the middle of the ocean.

He brought the bottle there but we can't go there, it's too dangerous and plus it's in the border of the siren and mermaid tribe, they will hunt us.

What about you Erdeon? you can swim faster than any of us, I know we just met but that paper is our life sentence.

I'm sorry Albie, I'm an outcast which why I'm near the surface, it's to avoid being hunted by them.

I guess I have no choice but to use the secret weapon...

Shin's life depends to this too... I guess Shin and I have to cross the ocean by ourselves...

Erdeon's eyes lit up when he thought he could help Shin, puppy love is the best, Shin seems determined to get the bottle too.

The twins tugged my shirt and asked if they can tag in too, it's too dangerous to put them in water.

The twins gave me a cute puppy eyes and... They got me, I'm a Friggen disgrace, letting kids to help.

You two can help but your help would be using mirrors, I need you to reflect the light to the mers and sirens who try to pursue us.

The twins gleamed with mischief and got to the highest tree, Toma the boy put some earplug on his ear and gave Shin an earplug too.

Boys are hypnotized by their voice and so we made this earplugs out of coconut skin, seashell, and coconut leaves.

Shin plugged them in his ear and took off his shirt, I took off mine behind the rock and changed it too a swimming rash guard.

Erdeon took the chance and made shin ride his back while I'm being held but I'm fine with it as long as I don't die.

We started our venture to the ocean, it was good in the start but as we get closer and closer, we can already feel eyes staring at us.

Soon enough as we were already near the island the mermaids attacked us, they were so hostile and started to swim after us.

I can hear songs and voices but it doesn't affect me nor Shin who is wearing an earplug.

We reached the island and pulled Erdeon with us in the shore, our next move would be seeking the bottle of the third chapter.
