Chapter 3 - Strange Creature

"It's awake," Moana and Triton muttered together in admiration as they watched the little thing inside the crystal ball stretch itself, waking up.

"I just hope the Emperor won't kill it… it's so interesting to watch," Triton smiled, making Moana nod in agreement.

"But the Emperor won't spare it, you know… he might not even appear here to see it with his own eyes," Moana said, shaking her head, feeling pity for the little thing inside the crystal ball, fear shining in its beautiful eyes.

"Where am I!!!" she screamed when she woke up… she wasn't inside the ocean this time… but inside a very large, magnificent hall.

"It can even speak our language," Moana smiled.

"Maybe it's one of our creatures that wasn't written in the history book," Triton reasoned.

"What if it's one of those banished creatures…" Moana added, as they both watched the creature dart its eyes from corner to corner.

Emperor Azarus, feeling disturbed in his massaged chair, flipped his eyes open, which reflected blue. Triton and Moana had asked for his immediate attention at the throne hall.

But their whispers were disturbing his beauty rest. He immediately snapped his fingers to see what was happening at the throne hall.

A small mirror appeared before him… His eyes slowly shifted from his two guards toward the direction of their attention…

seeing the little light-skinned creature in a crystal ball. His forehead formed lines of confusion. In an instant, he disappeared.

With my eyes darting back and forth… analyzing and trying to figure out where I was… I couldn't solve the puzzle.

My heart still pounded in my chest, because those two human-like sharks stood afar, watching… as if waiting for an order from somewhere to devour me.

Hunger gleamed in their eyes.

My gaze landed on the largest chair in the hall… from the look of it, I didn't need anyone to tell me…it was a throne.

Is this the throne that will judge me? Will I be judged here? Maybe if I'm found guilty, these two sharks will eat me.

Just as I thought that, a chill ran over my body, making me rub my arms.

"Greetings, Your Majesty," I heard the two human-like sharks chorus together, making me shudder as I looked toward them. They both lowered their heads.

Did they just greet someone? Is the one who will judge me here? Is that why I feel chills all over?

Maybe it's a devil this time… since chills keep running all over my body.

Slowly, I moved my head toward the throne…

"Oh Buddha!!" I gasped loudly, my buttocks pressing against the bottom of the crystal ball because of what was before me.

I was scared… intimidated… Yet somehow, I couldn't faint.

My eyes met this creature's intimidating gaze… it had the same general figure as the two human-like sharks, but this one was completely different … handsomely evil, utterly intimidating.

Its body was large and muscular, with abs that made my heart thump… gosh, this shark-like human was dangerously handsome. Mouthwatering.

Its blue eyes stared deep into my soul… was it going to drag me to hell? I didn't mind if it did… Oh Buddha, this thing was so damn sexy.

Coming back to my senses and pushing away my sinful thoughts, I shook my head.

But it didn't stop my eyes from traveling over his mighty, steamy abs.

Damn it, Marimar… I don't mind going to hell with this mouthwatering human-like shark…
