275th day, I can feel the slaves locations and degree of control more though I haven't gained new skills.

Titles are like an all around general skill that keeps getting more usefull but you can still branch out around it like holy slave master.

I've been able to heal and strike harder with the monk title too so it must be this.

Several days later and more whales start arriving but instead of the usual merman there's mermaids, non soldier merman and pets? the fish and other creatures are dressed up, these mers are rich.

The cold's effect reach very far to drive off the creatures if this megacity is now not dangerous enough to fully protect.

There might be more arriving but the city is still pretty empty since it's huge, it could be like a winter vacation area.

I might not get in after all.

Continuing practicing with some fish, I send most away and kept the strongest with me, about 500 scattered around the area with the big sea snake, metal heads and fast fish being the best.

I do feel slaves disappearing, I can't do anything about them being eating since I have too many controlled but they aren't being eaten in mass so no strong predator is around who can feast on whole areas.

The whales aren't going anywhere anymore so I have to go myself to the areas which I'm not doing.

Some more mers arrive by the day until one day a gigantic whale appears in the area I'm at, it's even more well guarded than the other one I saw leaving for hunting.

This has to be royalty.

I go up and to see further and they head right into the middle of the city where there's a huge castle.

I go back to waiting since there's nothing I can do anyways.

Some big whales with some guards each are heading out now with lots of mers on board a room put on the center whale, it's surrounded by magic too like a round barrier, seems they are doing something.

I follow in invisibilty of course and my fish ride on the whales in the back carrying stuff.

They head north west and don't go up or down, it looks like the north and west areas are almost barren with no fish and they put all the stuff down in a huge radius.

They are setting up the place like a festival but more sophisticated.

An arena? are they going to fight for their entertainment?

More whales arrive as the others go back, this realy is like a festival.

I head out with the fish further out and stay hidden looking over the place since more guards are arriving too.

I watch everything unfold for days as they prepare and more of the mers arrive to have fun, the place isn't done but it looks like this place will be used for the entire winter while they areas change to keep things fresh.

The merman did fight each other in the arena every day, they used basic magic attacks too and tridents.

There's singing too with mermaids and fish that emit some pleasant sounds.

Food everywhere that I want to eat.

As I feel sad about not being able to attend I notice more non mermaids and merman, actual fish not being kept as pets and mermen that are more fish than man with fish heads and/or bodies are in the festival too.

.....

I'm suddenly surrounded by mermen they are fast, I dig down and stay quiet.

My fish are on standby to rush the place in case I have to escape.

Hello I know you're here somewhere fish or should I say holy fish.

...

I'm a princess from the royal family Mermi Mermaid and want to talk to you, if you are intelligent than come out for your own sake.

I want your services for the sake of our kingdom.

Aaaaah it's happened they finally came for me, I expected this but I'm still afraid, hope it goes well.

I rise up from the sand slowly and put on the holy armor.

I try to speak but I can't I'm a fish afterall, I notice the princess too.

She's a small mermaid even though she seems grown up, blond long hair, blue eyes, small breasts and a light blue tail.

Wearing a small one piece red brown dress with white fur on the collar.

What's the matter? oh right fish can't talk yet you understand me.

She's talking underwater, advanced gills or is it because mermaids or humanoids? I go with the latter theory myself.

I'll talk to you psychicly and you'll get the skill okay?

She talks about her preparing to travelling here mostly [psychic title] acquired

Can you talk back now? think something and direct it to me mentally.

Hello I am holy fish.
