The legendary Trident

Asher was lost in his thoughts. He started recalling the secret of spells, that his mother mentioned. He remembered it has 3 important hand signs that were made to open the seal. But he only knew the half sign. The other half was never mentioned by anyone neither his mother not books.

Asher went pale. He was in a conflict if he fails- Does that mean he will lose Finn?, But he doesn't want that to happen. He was about to lose control when a pair of hands soothed the scales of his hands.

Finn whispered let's mix your hand signs with mine. Asher has no option left. He took a deep breath and began.

The first sign : Asher formed half the symbol of Octopus and Finn made a cuttlefish a low-town sign

They waited for the answer : one - two - three BOOM.

 Finns got two slashes on his back, blood oozing from the cuts.

Asher was shocked. He forcefully removed Finn's grip his heart felt a pang of guilt. Hands traced the back of his husband. Finn hissed in pain. But he didn't stop.

Let's try again, Finn voiced the pain evident in his throat eyes almost teared.

Asher nodded hesitantly.

The second sign: Asher formed the royal symbol the devil fish while Finn made a jelly fish.

The couple were watching eagerly. Asher's hands trembled with fear. Finn's grip tightened

Urughu. A loud cough sounds shocked Asher. Finn coughed blood, his mouth turned crimson. Asher couldn't dare. Enough Finn.

F**k the title! Let's just live like a normal merman. If it costs your life I don't need this royalty.

Finn pushed Asher back to the position, Asher reluctantly agreed. He gathered all the courage that has left.

The third sign: Asher made the Royal Cod sign resembling Dominion while Finn made the Poor Cod sign resembling sustenance.

They waited , the grip on their hands tightened and the eyes shut forcefully.

The Trident came floating. It secured in Asher's hands perfectly. Siren echoed - congratulations on winning the first weapon.

Since you already got the second one, the third weapon can be obtained only on the day of full moon night which is 2 days later from today.

Asher ignored the voice , his focus was on Finn. He's searching for the wounds that formed earlier which have vanished now. His smooth scales were back, but they glowed more than before. The relief wave hit him hard. He hugged his mate. Finn returned it with more affection.

They swam back to the low town. Since , It already became night when they reached their home. Asher secured the ritual things in the sacred place. Finn plopped on the shell bed.

The events made him too exhausted to retrieve them. As the warm bed touched his cold body he slowly drifted in sleep. Asher adored his little mate. He covered him with the quilt. Ruffling Finn's hair taking every detail of the facial features. He kissed the youngsters' forehead with love.
