Chapter 8: The last descendant

The Lord stood before a coast with serpentine eyes; The complicity that emanated between them betrayed a long -standing knowledge.

The Lord then declared: "There is a young boy in the village, who carries the blood of a mermaid in him. »»

The monk replied, "Are you sure what you are advancing?" »»

The Lord confirmed: "Yes, I am convinced. This child is the last descendant of Yaohime. He has her blood, when his curse by the mermaid was still in progress. »»

The monk declared to him: if this is true, the blood of this child will allow us to open the door of the abyss and we will finally obtain absolute power.

Holding his stick in his hands, he advanced and asked: where is he?

The Lord replied: My men should soon bring him back.

The monk then added: it's perfect, we have to act tonight. Let's go to the sanctuary already to prepare everything before their arrival.

The Lord nods: Good.

They immediately headed for the sanctuary. Meanwhile, Taro, in his hut, looked up and reflects on the events of the day.

A smile took shape on his lips and he whispered: I have a sister, it's incredible. I wonder what she can look like. I was told that she was very friendly, and she must certainly be beautiful.

He remained silent for a moment, then resumed: I would so much like to get to know him.

Suddenly, he heard a noise outside; The leaves began to move sharply. Curious, he got up to see what was going on.

Looking through his window, he saw a silhouette running quickly. Surprised, he exclaimed: "Hey, who is there! ? »»

Has barely pronounced these words than a violent blow on the head knocked him down and he collapsed on the ground. Unconscious, men sent by the local Lord prevailed to him.

At an unexpected moment, in Rika's house, which had trouble sleeping in her room, she was suddenly taken from her sleep by a voice: Rika !! Rika !!! My little rika, wake up !!

Rika straightened up suddenly and asked: Ah !! What's going on?

By gently rubbing her eyes, she distinguished Yaohime's mind before her and exclaimed with astonishment: Princess Yaohime!? What are you doing here?

Yaohime replied: Taro is in great danger, you must help him.

Rika: Oh ...

A few minutes later, Rika ran out of her room and rushed to her parents, hitting their door while calling: "Dad ... Mom ... Wake up, please! »»

She struck so hard that her father opened the door in haste, visibly worried, and asked her daughter: "What's going on, darling?" Why are you so worried? »»

Rika then replied: "Dad, please, you have to help me, Taro is in great danger. »»

His father, not understanding, exclaimed: Are you talking about the little fisherman?

Rika replied with confidence: Yes, if we do nothing, he may die.

His mother said gently to him: Rest assured, my little Rika, and explain us in the right order.

Rika answered her mother: I can't explain everything to you now, but it is essential to go to the princess.

His father exclaimed then: Wait, you want us to go in the middle of the night in the field of Lord Mukade to ask the princess audience!?

Rika replied with confidence: yes, dad, it's a question of life or death.

Knowing her daughter well, Lady Sakura turned to her husband and said gently to her: my darling, please, let's go.

Her husband, still skeptical, asked: Do you really think it's a good idea?

Lady Sakura, full of understanding, replied: I am not sure, but I know my daughter. She would not invest as much if it was not something serious. Please follow her.

Hesitating for a moment, he took the time to think. Meanwhile, Haru and his family headed for the estate of the Mukade Lord. When they arrived in front of his home, he stayed a moment in front of the entrance, then his father asked him: "What are we waiting for, Haru?" »»

Haru, scrutinizing on the left and then right, saw Rika died with his parents towards them and exclaimed then: "Here they are! »»

By finding herself face to face, Lady Sakura, surprised to see them, asked: "Alma!? Mr. Saï!? What are you doing here? »»

Mademoiselle Alma replied gently: "Haru woke us up in the middle of the night and asked us to accompany her here. He was really serious, and we had no choice but to follow him. »»

Haru then turned to Rika: "Did you see her too?" »»

Rika nodded with a slight cowardly head and replied: "Yes, and for the moment, the only one who can help us is her. »»

Dame Sakura, visibly concerned, asked with a worried air: "Who have you seen?" What exactly is my children going? »»

Haru replied gently: we can answer all your questions a little later. For the moment, we have to go urgently to the princess.

Mr. Toriyama added: If this is so crucial, I can bring us in. However, I must warn you that this could be risky.

Haru and Rika nodded, their eyes reflecting the determination to carry out their mission. A few minutes later, a guard appeared in front of the princess's home and declared: I ask you to apologize, princess, people wish to request an audience with you.

Surprise, she asked gently: "At this late night hour?" Could we not wait until tomorrow? »»

The guard answered him calmly: "These people seem very insistent, they claim that it is a question of life or death. »»

Taking this into consideration, she then understood the seriousness of their arrival and decided to listen to them. A few minutes later, Haru, Rika and their parents found themselves in front of the princess.

Mr. Toriyama bowed slightly to greet the princess: Good evening, Lady Benihime. Please excuse our intrusion at such a late hour.

Benihime replied with kindness: it is not a problem, it seems that you have very important things to communicate to me. I listen to you, what is your concern?

Rika, then spoke, advanced and asked: you are the descendant of Princess Yaohime, right?

Surprise, Benihime replied with a smile: yes, it's me.

Rika then said: it is imperative that you help us, because if we do not act quickly, the village will be in great danger.

Not having understood, Benihime asked: I do not understand well, what do you mean by that?

Rika then replied: I cannot give you all the details, but it is crucial to find your brother, the last descendant of Yaohime, because his life is in danger.

This revelation surprised all those who were in the courtyard, and Lady Sakura exclaimed: the last descendant of Yaohime?

The princess, both incredulous and disconcerted, remained frozen in surprise in the face of such a revelation. Meanwhile, Taro had been brought before the Mukade Lord and the snake -eyed monk.

By observing Taro closely, the Lord Mukade shed a smile and announced: it is him ... The ritual can finally begin.
