Flow PoV

Right now we were at the Oreana docks. When we arrived with the bubble holding the fish woman the fishermen were all shocked to see her.

Obviously only seen in legends, the fish girl attracted a LOT of attention which we had to scare away before we could drop her on the docks a good 50 meters away from the water.

What was truly shocking was what happened after the water prison burst and she landed on the ground.

???: Whaaaa!!! You two are so mean. What did I do to you two~?!!

Crying her eyes as a victim to some kind of crime she made a scene before the sound around her muted.

Flow: This is going to be annoying.

Lily: Agreed.

Before I could deactivate the [Sound Block] spell we become slack jawed after looking at the girl again.

Her light greenish blue scales were slowly disappearing revealing a skinny smooth peach colored skin. The long two small fins on her waist was as well as it stuck itself to her body before vanishing. Followed by the long fins attached to her arms that gave a feeling of a dress. They stuck to her arms before vanishing only leaving a beautiful array of tattoo like lines on her arm that shows where they come out.

The last thing to shock us was her long fish tail. It slowly shrank and began to split down the middle forming two long legs. The tail fins also split along with the tail and stuck itself to each tail that slowly formed human feet and followed by all the rest of the leg.

At the end all that was left was a completely naked green haired girl that looked to be in her early teens and had only started developing her curves.

It took less than a second after her transformation happen for me to look back and see that lustful eyes of men on her and it took an even second for a wall of water to form around us in a dome shape that was the done prison but the insides were hollow.

Flow: So what do we do about her naked problem?

Lily: Lily has a few spare clothes in my inventory.

She opened up and pulled out a casual dress she wears around the castle. Pointing at the girl she flicked her finger and all the remaining water on her was pushed off leaving her fully dry, this included the water under the girl hands around her.

Lily: Here Lily will let you borrow this.

???: What’s this?

She asked while still teary eyed.

Flow: Its clothes. I don't know how it is for you but up here you need to have modestly and as well as to hide your body from lustful scum.

She looked confused at the one piece dress before taking it. She tilted her head innocently towards it and began feeling it. She showed a look of bliss feeling the soft cloth and rubbed it on her face.

We both could only smile warily towards her before Lily took the dress it tossed it over the girl and dressed her.

After done the previously crying girl had a bright smile on her face like a child that got some sweets.

Flow: Is this girl good at adapting to situations like this or is she an airhead...maybe it’s just innocence.

I was started to get conflicted about what to do with this girl.

Lily: So what’s your name. This I Flow and I’m Lily.

???: Um I'm Tear.

Flow: Can I ask why were you at that area we found you in? The place is where many of our fishermen disappeared.

Tear: Disappeared...oh!

She seems to remember something but becomes sad again.

Lily: What is it?

Tear: It's nothing.

She shakes her head violently trying to deny anything.

Flow: Don't try to hide it from me I can see you hiding something VERY important.

I controlled my power to the max and released a tiny fraction of my power as killing intent.

It worked like a charm as he body stiffened and she was covered in cold sweat.

Tear: The...ones killing...and eating your...men are my...aunts people.

Lily: So the mermaids are man eaters!?

Tear: NO! We are plant eaters and only the knights eat meat... If there are still any around.

Flow: What do you mean?

Tear: ...My mother is the Mermaid Queen. Her name is Ul. My aunt on the other hand is the Serin Queen.

Lily: Is there a difference between a Serin and Mermaid?.

Tear: Yes. Mermaids are peaceful and are made up of small fish found near reefs we keep those old habits like algae eaters. Sirens a made from large carnivore fish. My Aunt is the most vicious being a Great white shark variant. The Siren can use song illusion to attract prey which are currently the men here. They also hate mermaids and took over our small kingdom.

Lily: I see. And you ran away.

She nods timidly.

I look at her for a moment trying to see if there was any lie, which there weren't any. I couldn't help sigh at this. Suddenly we heard screams from outside so I dropped the water prison. What we say caused veins to appear on my head as I was filled with rage.

Large two meter tall blue or green skin fishermen and women were attacking the fishermen.

???: Gyahaha where's that little prick of a princesses. Huh oh there you are "your Highness".

The sarcasm in this fish woman’s voice made my blood boil.

I looked the woman from top to bottom. She was strong looking like Lona but she had a much wilder feel. Webbed hands and feet and a large fin on her back. She held a single rusty sword in her right hand.

(Just imagine one piece fish men as a Siren)

Without paying attention to me or Lily she walked over with a grin exposing the rows of fangs.

As she was about to cross me I walked in her way. My expressions were dead because I could no longer express my rage.

Flow: Where do you think you are.

???: Huh move land dog.

She swung the sword horizontally at my head but I blocked it with my left index finger.

Her eyes widened to the point that it looked like it would pop out. She pulled it back and swung again but was stopped with the same ease. She began a flurry of slashes but not a single one passed my finger.

(Goku vs Trunks for those who can't imagine this)

???: *huff* What are you?! *Huff*

Anger was clear in her voice.

I ignore her and point my finger up towards the sky from it a beam of blue light rose before vanishing a few hundred meters up. The next moment a large magic circle appeared.

[Water Prison]

Moments after saying that the entire area shook. Everyone looked towards the source and see far off the water beginning to rise all around the docks and slowly close the place. As the water rose the water within decreased and from the wall soon more fish men began to fall as they were dragged up and thrown back in. Soon the dome invaded the land and circled around the entire Docks and closing the dome.

When the spell finished no one spoke but only looked at me.

Flow: So you are the Serin the little miss just told us about.

???: …

No one spoke a word but I didn’t need an answer. I looked towards the woman that attacked me and pulled out my sword and slowly covered it with mana and a layer of water.

Flow: You asked me who I am correct? My name is Flow The lesser Valken Warrior Goddess of Water.

All the green and blue color drained from all the sirens faces a few tried to run towards the water and through the water barrier but were thrown back inside. Hard.

Flow: You all threaten the people in this kingdom without thinking. I’m going to enjoy this short amount of fun.

Lily: Don’t forget about Lily.

I look from the corner of my eye and see her already holding her large sickles.

???: Stay back.

My eyes were drawn to the man that said that. standing on the end of the docks was a Siren male that was nearly twice the size of the fisherman lizard man he was holding as hostage.

???: Get rid of this barrier or else this man dies.

He was covered in sweat and his hands were shaking but he held himself up as well as holding them lizard. Contrary to what was happening the demon lizard man was smiling.

Lizard: You ssssshall be the firssssst to die by the elitessss of the king and queen.

???: SHUT UP!!! NOW DROP THIS BARRIER!!!

He lifted his right arm which held the rusty sword.

I was looking at the lizard as he looked back and nodded.

Flow: Do it then. Let’s see if you can kill him.

Rage filled the Siren’s eyes and he start to swing.

???: FINE THEN!!!! DIE LIZARD!!

*Clack* *swish*

The sound of metal hitting metal had all the Sirens confused but as soon as they heard a "Thud" they turned pale.

The sword didn't even get close to the demon Lizard man Because the arm of the siren fell down onto the docks with a torrent of blood.

???: Ah....AHHHHHH~~~~~~~~!!!!!

The siren let go of the lizard and grabbed what remain of his arm.

All around, everyone was racked with nausea especially the few human and elf foreigners that were working here.

The foreigners couldn't handle that level of gore and began vomiting.

All this while I stood next to Lily with my sword to the left and having finished the swing.

Lily: Neat trick. When did you learn that?

Flow: Back in the Underworld. It has surprisingly good cutting power even at a range. It’s actually stronger underwater by the way.

Lily: It’s going to be fun to learn that.

???: What...was that?

We ignore the bitch and I casually tell Lily how it’s done.

???: Fine if we can't get out we will kill you both to do that. EVERYONE GET 'EM!!

We were cut in the middle of our chat when all the Siren attacked. A moment later Lily bent forwards and vanished. To my eyes I could see her clearly zig zagging her way through them stopping only a moment to change direction. She finally stopped in front of the lizard man that was captured.

Lily: Got hurt anywhere.

Lizard: Of coursssse not missssstressss. The aim of the goddess was impeccable as was yours.

As he said that the scores of siren behind Lily gained dozens of slashes all over their bodies and they all fell to the ground. A moment later the mass turned into a huge mass of blue smoke. Remaining were several smaller Siren including the one that went for Tear first.

Before anyone could say anything a large water drop from the barrier fell on each of them making small water prisons. They all glowed for a moment and the wounds on them healed.

Flow: That was east enough. Now we can take back quite a few prisoners to interrogate back in Oreana with Lona. Tear can you walk?

Tear: ...No. This is my first time on land. I didn't even know we became like this.

Flow: Ok then.

With a snap a bubble fell on Tear and she reverted back to her half fish from but with a white dress now.

Flow: Lily can you watch over the docks. Those guys are weak but that's to us.

Lily: Sir. Lily can also take the time to teach the fishermen how to fight a bit.

Flow: I'll deal with those up at the city.

With that said we split up and i

took my prisoners with a smile back to the city.

Aiden PoV

GGRRAAWW!!

This sucks. Being with that stupid bird Ideo SUCKS. He takes every opportunity to piss me off.

Anyway after being dragged into this with that idiot I was laying down on Kitsu who was racing around the Great Dragon lake so we could enter the next kingdom over.

It’s got some stupid name I could care less about since it's a just a small region ruled by a weak elven foreigner guild. Mainly just around the lake itself since a bit north the forest thins out and turns to plains before mountains.

(Map is in the glossary for those who want to check it. It will update regularly after new kingdoms and towns appear but only important ones.)

Master said the location was near those mountains. Specifically near an weak active volcano. A powerful tribe of lizard men have been running wild since some time ago. That female Lizard that idiot bird was training, I was told, was part of that tribe but was exiled. She gives off that strange feeling I get from Master and Baal. Something about them always seemed just a little unusual but who am I to judge something they have had since I was born.

It will take a long annoying 2 days on Kitsu. Just for those who are wondering Master said she would get the rabbit duo to increase the lizards earth affinity like she wanted.

I make sure to stay away as best as possible from that idiot so when he lands I’m in the air and the same could be said when he takes flight. You can call them shifts to keep watch but to me it’s just avoiding getting a headache.

After two annoying days of travel we arrive near the volcano.

It wasn’t blasting lava but there were a few large lines of smoking stones near it and a hell of a lot of smoke coming from the top.

Kitsu: It's going to be hard to find them near here.

Kumi: Ya the ash in the air and the smoke really hurts.

Beth: Many it really hurts to have a sensitive nose near such a bad smell.

Charlet: AHH! My nose I feel like it will fall off.

Aiden: You guys are weak. You’re a fire based race and you are so easily beaten by ash which fire leaves behind. Really if you can’t handle it use air magic to keep the smell out.

They all touch their nose after everyone was in demI human form and a small light came from their nose. They all show a look of relief and breath in deeply.

Ideo: Ok then now that we have that out of the way what are we going to do about the lizard men coming this way?

Kitsu: What? How can you tell? I can’t pick up anything.

Ideo: My eyes are similar to eagle eyes. I have really good range of sight.

Kumi: I wonder if we should leave them to the twins.

Aiden: Are you all idiots! Master said for us to come see if they are enemies or not we just need to check that.

Beth: Ya but they if they attack we won’t let that pass.

Aiden: You think I would let it pass either.

Everyone shook their heads.

We just waited and soon the lizards started to pop up. They all wore some good leather armor. A few even had metal plates probably from some poor sap that they killed.

After we were surrounded a new kind of lizard appeared. Standing straighter then the rest and at 180 cm with a large pair of dragon like wings on his back he walked up to us and stopped around 15 m away.

Draken: Who are you ssssstrangerssss?

Ideo: I’m Ideo one of the elites of the demon prince from the Yin yang kingdom to the south west.

Aiden: I’m Aiden. One of the elites of the Princess of the gods from the Yin yang kingdom.

Draken: … I’m Alduin, Leader of this tribe and the one blessed by the greater god of fire.

Ideo: Oh so your Medusa’s brother.

He frowns hearing the name.

Draken: You know of my worthless sister.

Ideo: You shouldn’t call her worthless. Besides she is like you. She is something special just like you a born leader.

Aiden: Cut the crap.

Ideo: Oh come on short fuse think about it. Besides master that monkey guy as well as Medusa all felt like master and Lilian. Even he has that same feeling to him.

Alduin: Before you continue ignoring me let me asssk. Why are you here?

Kitsu: Our king and queen noticed the rampage that your tribe has been causing and grew worried it would soon come towards us.

Alduin: I have nothing to gain but the death of my people by fighting sssssomeone I cannot beat.

Ideo: ...Quite sensible.

Alduin: You did not ssssee me a ssssensssssible?

Ideo: From what I heard of your sister you were a tyrant.

He chuckled a bit.

Alduin: Only to that worthless sister because when I took charge of my tribe after killing the previous chief I began having everyone train, her included. Sssshe was born weak so having that done to her must have actually felt like a tyrant.

Beth: So why exile her?

Alduin: I never did ssssuch thing. Ssssshe ran away that sssstupid girl. Must have lied as well.

I look at the others with a worried looked.

Ideo: What kind of training do you do?

Alduin: To physsssical training and fighting monsterssss and those sssstupid adventuressss who come to hunt monsterssss and find ussss. Also we try to withstand the firessss from the volcano getting closssse to the top.

Ideo: So she ran away to get training with earth magic.

Alduin: I never completely trusted my ssssisssster. Sssshe was born very intelligent and hunted with trapssss unlike the warriorssss. Ssssshe doesn’t develop well physssssically but her head issss quite good. Issss thissss all you came to look for?

Kitsu: Ya we just needed to know if you and your tribe were friends or foe.

Alduin: Sssssstraight forward but its fine. I bit you safe travels.

We nod towards him as the tribe left.

After they were out of earshot I heard the question.

Charlet: So how much of that did you buy?

Beth: Hmm I would say the parts about his sisters are probably true but I don’t know about not being a tyrant. A training tyrant like Rachet is possible but he didn’t face what Aiden and the gods did so he would barely know how to train the lizards.

Kumi: You two are kind of good at this. How did you guess this much at least.

Beth: Did any of you notice how the lizards were acting?

We all blink and shake our heads.

Charlet: They were looking down instead of at us. But that was only after Alduin appeared.

Aiden: Anyone want to volunteer to go sneak a peek at their home.

One hand rose from the beautiful seven tailed holy fox.

Kumi: I can probably go in easy with some magic. Light magic is one of my strong points.

Kitsu: Be careful he is similar to Baal. Who knows what kind of magic or ability has.

Kumi: Don’t worry I know very well how strange our masters are.

She walked off and started running before vanishing in a flash.

Beth: Let’s find a cave or someplace we can rest while Kumi searches. Isn’t there a town near here.

Kitsu: If there is then it's been ransacked. Tonight and as long as we are here we put up guard shifts. I don’t trust those lizards I feel like I’m taking more to a snake.

Ideo: So it wasn’t just you.

Aiden: You guys are too cautious.

Ideo: You aren’t cautious enough. Short fuse

We talk casually while before find a cave to sleep in. With a bit of preparation and we had a somewhat presentable bed to sleep in, each in their own...obviously.

That said the twins pestered Kitsu to no end since Kumi wasn’t here.

I just laughed at his misfortune before hitting going to bed.

Medusa PoV

Medusa: So that guy won’t teach me?

I was wearing a blank expression as I look at the rabbit demons in front of me.

The girl was too ridiculous with those large bags on her chest and the guy couldn’t even reach a proper human form.

Rook: He was sent by Baal to do something.

Plum: We are better earth magic users anyway now let’s get started.

Medusa: Whatever

I didn’t care who it was I just wanted to get stronger to prove to that stupid tyrant that I wasn’t worthless. When I finally squash that smug face I will be satisfied.
