and cast his net it was heavier than usual his heart leaped had the spirits finally answered his prayers dragging the net to shore he gasped inside Tangled with the fish was a Strang looking creature it was no fish it had soft shimmering blue skin tiny webbed hands and a long silver tail that gleamed Under the Sun a water child Toby whispered he had heard of such things in Old Tales but never had he seen one his stomach rumbled it was small no bigger than a newborn goat his hunger was stronger than his fear that evening Toby roasted
the strange creature over his fire it sent filling the air he ate every last more licking his fingers clean he slept well that night his belly full for the first time in weeks but as he slept something stirred in the darkness in his dreams Toby found himself in a vast Misty field a tall old man with deep set eyes and a long Gray beard stood before him Toby the men said his voice like the wind rustling through Dry leaves Toby knelt who are you baba I am gday the Oldman said a keeper of the old ways Toby trembled have I angered the spirits g
day smiled no my son you have done what any man would do to survive for that I grant you a blessing from this day forth your nets will never be empty and your wealth will grow Beyond Your Wildest Dreams Toby’s eyes widened truly Bob the old man nodded but wealth changes a man be wise the dream faded and Toby awoke to the sound of water lapping against the shore he ran to his Nets heart pounding as he pulled them in his knees nearly buckled the Nets were full not just full overflowing more fish than he had ever
caught in his life his fortune had begun Toby life changed overnight every morning his Nets were full villagers whispered about his sudden fortune and Traders from neighboring Villages came to buy his fish his small Hut became a grand house built from the finest wood with a red clay roof that Shone Under the Sun but wealth was not enough Toby looked at the rich men in the village the Chiefs the Warriors the traitors he wanted their respect no he wanted more he wanted the highest seat in the land he wanted to marry princess a she was
the daughter of King alumide the ruler of Odin her beauty was like the morning sun warm and golden her laughter was like music and her presence made men weak in the knees but she was promised only to a true Prince Toby had an idea I am not a fisherman anymore he told himself I will become a prince so he dressed in the finest robes bought with his new wealth he hired men to spread a story that he was a foreign Prince from a distant land exiled from his kingdom a prince whose Fortune had been restored by the gods and the people
believed far beneath the river where the water was deep and dark Nia wept she was a mermaid queen guardian of omiera and mother to the child who had been stolen from her she had searched the Waters calling his name but there was no answer then she felt it the truth sharp as a spear her child had been eaten a whale of grief echoed through the waters shaking the riverbed fish darted away crocodiles swam to the surface in fear the river churned restless and angry I will not take his life Nia whispered her eyes burning with
sorrow no that was would be too kind she closed her eyes and let her voice drift through the waters up into the ears of those who needed to hear it the other suitors of Princess a Toby stood before the king’s court his head held high he had won the people’s hearts his riches were unmatched his charm undeniable but the true princes the sons of noble Kings watched him with darkened eyes something was not right how did a foreign Prince exiled and penniless gained such sudden wealth one Prince murmured I have heard Whispers another
said his fortune is unnatural the river Spirits are restless The Whispers grew louder doubt slithered through the palace Halls like a snake princess aah however saw none of it she saw Only The Men Who had stolen her heart but fate was not done with Toby yet the night of the final selection arrived the palace was filled with music and laughter drummers beat their talking drums their rhythms shaking the Earth the smell of roasted meat filled the air at the height of the celebration the doors burst open a woman
entered her skin shimmered like wet pearls and her eyes glowed like the moon her robe woven from River weed flowed like water as she walked the air grew cold the Torches flickered Nia had arrived she stepped forward her gaze locking onto Toby you she said the hall fell silent Toby’s mouth went dry he knew in that instant that his secret had been laid bare Nia turned to the king this man is not who he says he is gasps filled the room the princes smirked he is no Prince Nia continued he is a fisherman who stole
from the sacred River he took what was mine he took my child the king’s face darkened the people murmured Toby fell to his knees forgive me silence Nia’s voice was sharp as a blade she took a step closer her eyes burning with power you took my child from me now I take something from you she raised a hand her fingers curled like claws the price is blood she said your firstborn shall be mine a gasp rang through the court all eyes turned to princess aah her hand trembled over her belly she was pregnant chaos erupted the king Rose in Fury the guards
Drew their swords the princes whispered among themselves eles Toby felt the weight of his sins crashing down upon him but this was only the beginning the palace erupted like a pot of boiling water the princess carries his child someone cried a curse upon the Royal bloodline another voice wailed King alumide slammed his staff against the ground the heavy thud silenced the room his face was like Stone his lips pressed into a thin line to Toby the king’s voice was low but sharp is this true Toby’s body was frozen his heart pounded like the
festival drums he had fought his way from poverty to the steps of royalty only for it all to crumble before his eyes I he could not lie not now he turned to aah his voice breaking is it true A’s hands trembled over her belly she could barely speak but the tears in her eyes were answer enough the truth shattered whatever hope Toby had left the people shouted in fear the guards stood ready their Spears aimed at him the suitors who once envied him now smirked at his downfall and Nia the mermaid mother stood in the center of it all calm as
the deep sea before a storm you owe me aive she said her voice carrying across the chamber your firstborn will be mine as as you took mine from me aah gasped holding her belly tighter no she whispered shaking her head not my child but fate had already been set in motion the ground beneath them trembled the Torches flickered wildly the air grew thick with something unseen something ancient the river had come to collect its debt King ait’s face was unreadable but his fists were clenched at his sides the laws of Odin were clear no
cursed blood could sit upon the throne but this was his daughter a man’s Duty as king and his duty as a father were now at War he turned to his advisers what must be done one Elder gray-haired and wise stepped forward the mermaid speaks truth he has brought a curse upon this house the child must be taken or else the kingdom will suffer no aah cried another Elder shook his head a life for a life the fisherman must pay no aah stepped forward her voice rising in desperation he is no longer a fisherman he is my betroth my love she turned to her father
her eyes pleading you cannot let them take my child the king’s face darkened and what would you have me do silence fell finally King alumide turned to Nia if we refuse what will happen Nia’s expression remained unreadable the river will claim what is owed she said simply by force if necessary a chill ran through the crowd everyone knew what that meant famine disease drought the river was the lifeblood of Odin if the river turned against them the kingdom would crumble the king had no choice his decision came swiftly like the swing of a blade Toby
he said his voice firm you are to be banished the room gasped you will leave this land and never return the princess shall remain here until her child is born if the mermaid does not take the child by by her own hands we will offer it to the river ourselves Toby’s World shattered no he whispered shaking his head no please but the guards were already moving two strong men grabbed him by the arms dragging him toward the palace doors Toby aah screamed she lunged forward but her father held her back the last thing Toby
saw before the door slammed shut was a his tear stre face her hands still clinging to her stomach his child his only hope and he was powerless to stop what was coming the journey through the Wilderness was long and cruel the guards took him beyond the borders of Odin to the very edge of the land where the thick forests met the vast merciless desert here they left him with no food no water no weapon just a single warning if you try to return one guard sneered we will kill you then they turned and left their footsteps Fading Into the distance Toby
stood alone in the silence the weight of his fate pressing down on him banishment stripped of his title torn from his love doomed to lose his child his knees buckled and he sank to the ground the sky stretched endlessly above him vast and empty offering no answers was this the Fate Jay the mysterious old man had warned him about was this the price of greed the sun burned high and his throat was already dry the forest behind him held dangers he could not fight and the desert ahead was endless there was no way to
survive he was going to die here unless fate had other plans Toby wandered his body weakened with every step his vision blurred his lips cracked from thirst night fell and with it came the howls of unseen beasts the ground beneath him became rough and hot again as he stumbled onto endless stretches of sand then at the Horizon he saw it water the sea it stretched as far as the eye could see dark and glimmering under the Moonlight he fell to his knees his fingers dug into the wet sand the waves whispered as they rolled in
cool and soothing but something else moved beneath the water a figure a woman she Rose from the sea like a ghost her hair flowing like black silk her eyes deep and knowing Toby’s breath caught Who Who Are You The Woman stepped forward her bare feet left no prince in the sand I am someone who has been watching you for a long time she said and I am not done with you yet Toby’s heart pounded this was no ordinary woman this was another mermaid but was she here to save him or to finish what Nia had started Toby sat Frozen in the wet sand
his heart hammering the woman before him was no ordinary being her skin gleamed under the Moonlight her eyes dark dark as the depths of the ocean she was beautiful but in an eerie otherworldly way she was like Nia a mermaid yet something was different about her Who Who Are You Toby’s voice was horse from thirst the woman tilted her head studying him I have had many names she said her voice smooth as the waves but you may call me Kenna Toby swallowed are you here to punish me Kenna smiled cold and knowing if I wanted you dead
fisherman you would not be breathing a chill ran down Toby’s spine then why are you here he asked Kenna stepped closer kneeling beside him because I know what you have lost and I know what you desire most Toby’s hands curled into fists my child yes Kenna’s gaze bore into his Nia has claimed her price but not all debts are unbreakable Toby’s breath caught you mean you can stop her Kenna chuckled softly not quite but I can help you fight back hope flickered in Toby’s chest what must I do Kenna’s smile widened ah now we come to the price
Toby tensed he knew better than to trust easily Kenna’s fingers traced circles in the sand if I help you you must do something for me in return a simple thing really Toby narrowed his eyes what is it Kenna leaned in her lips close to his ear you must steal something from me she whispered Toby’s stomach Twisted steal for from who Kenna’s smile deepened her eyes gleaming from Nia Toby’s throat tightened this was Madness how could he steal from the mother of the very child he had wronged but what choice did he have Toby
hesitated what do you want me to steal Kenna’s eyes flickered like Moonlight on water a pearl but not just any Pearl the heart of the river Toby frowned the heart of the river Kenna nodded it is Nia’s greatest treasure it grants her power over the waters without it she will be vulnerable Toby’s pulse quickened and you think I can take it Kenna chuckled not alone she turned toward the ocean raising her hands the waves trembled from beneath the surface something glow fled a faint blue light then rising from the depths a small
delicate object floated toward them a seashell it landed softly in Kenna’s Palm shimmering like silver she held it out to Toby this is my gift to you she said a token of the deep it will allow you to breathe underwater with it you may enter Nia’s domain Toby reached out his fingers brushing against the cool surface of the shell this was his chance his only hope Kenna’s voice turned serious but be warned if Nia catches you before you take the Pearl you will never leave the water alive Toby swallowed hard I understand Kenna
nodded her expression unreadable then prepare yourself fisherman the battle for your child has begun meanwhile back in Odin aah was trapped her father had confined her to her Chambers she was guarded day and night watched as if she were a criminal but she was not a prisoner she was a mother and she would not let them take her child late at night she sat by her window gazing at the stars Somewhere Out There Toby was fighting for them she pressed a hand to her belly we will not let them take take you she whispered to the life growing
within her then an idea struck her she could not leave the palace but there was someone who could help her someone who had never turned their back on her her childhood friend AO the palace healer’s daughter that night as the guards dozed off a sent a secret message through a servant AO must come there was no time to waste Toby stood at the edge of the sea the enchanted sea shell in his grip the waves crashed against the shore calling him forward Kenna watched him with quiet Amusement are you afraid Toby exhaled
sharply no she raised a brow good then go Toby pressed the shell to his lips and whispered a prayer then he stepped into the water the moment the wave swallowed him the magic took hold he did not struggle he did not choke he breathed the ocean stretched before him deep and vast strange fish darted past Coral shimmered in colors he had never seen before and Far Below a palace of stone and gold lay hidden in the darkness Nia’s home Toby clenched his fists he had one chance he died d d into the deep toward the heart of the river’s
wrath what happens next will Toby succeed in stealing the heart of the river can a Escape The Palace before it’s too late and what Secrets is Kenna hiding the battle for Fate has begun Toby swam deeper the enchanted sea shell pulsing faintly in his hand he had never been in water this long before never moved so easily through the depths it was as if the SE itself welcomed him the Underwater Palace of Nia loomed ahead vast and Silent its walls were carved from shimmering Coral glowing faintly in the darkness strange creatures slithered
through the currents their eyes watching him a school of silver fish scattered as he approached the gates they were enormous carved from Black Stone guarded by two towering Warriors mermen with Spears of sharpened bone Toby hid behind a cluster of rocks his heart pounding how would he get past them then a voice whispered through the water use the shell Toby hesitated then pressed the enchanted shell against his chest immediately his body began to change his skin darkened taking on the smooth scaled appearance of the
merman his legs tingled then fused together transforming into a powerful tail he was one of them now swallowing his fear he straightened his posture and swam toward the gates the guards barely spared him a glance Toby slipped past them and entered the palace now he had to find the heart of the river the palace was alive with movement murol glided through Grand hallways their Whispers filling the water like a song Toby kept his head down following the strongest current it led him toward the heart of the palace
to a massive chamber guarded by more Warriors he hid behind a coral pillar peering inside there at the center of the room lay a pedestal carved from ancient stone upon it sat a single glowing Pearl deep blue pulsing like a heartbeat the heart of the river Toby’s breath caught he was so close but how could he take it without being seen he needed a distraction his eyes darted to a nearby by lantern fish its body flickering with light an idea formed carefully he scooped up a loose Stone and threw it toward the creature
the impact startled the fish causing it to flash wildly the sudden burst of Light Sent the guards into confusion now was his chance Toby surged forward snatching the Pearl from the pedestal the moment his fingers closed around it the entire Palace shuttered the water trembled the walls groaned and a deafening scream ripped through the sea Toby’s blood ran cold Nia knew from the depths of the palace Nia Rose her eyes blazed with Fury her hair swirling like a storm Who Dares her voice thundered shaking the ocean floor
Toby clutched the Pearl to his chest and bolted the palace erupted into chaos guards swarmed after him their Spears slicing through the water Toby weaved between coral formations dodging their attacks but Nia was faster she appeared before him in a Flash her claws outstretched you dare steal from me she hissed Toby’s heart pounded he had to escape but how then the seashell in his hand burned Kenna’s voice whispered in his mind break the shell without thinking Toby crushed the seash shell in his fist a blinding light
exploded the water Twisted pulling Toby into a rushing current he was yanked upward shooting through the sea like an arrow the last thing he saw was Nia’s Furious face before he was hurled onto the shore gasping for breath the Pearl was still in his hands but Nia would not stop hunting him now back in Odin a paced her Chambers wait eting finally the door creaked open AO slipped inside her eyes wide aah what’s happening the whole Palace is Whispering about a curse aah grabbed her friend’s hands AO I need your help I have to escape before they
take my child ao’s eyes darted toward the door the King has doubled the guards how will you get past them a took a deep breath there is a hidden passage in the gardens my mother once told me about it we must go now AO hesitated then nodded I’ll get a cloak to disguise you moments later a was draped in dark fabric following AO through the Halls they slipped into the gardens moving swiftly but just as they reached the passage halt a guard blocked their path his spear pointed at A’s belly you are not to leave the palace he growled aah
clenched her fists I will not let you take my child the guard smirked you don’t have a choice A’s heart pounded was this the end of her Escape or would fate intervene once more Toby ran he did not stop until he reached the forest beyond the shore the Pearl still glow blowed in his grip its warmth pulsing against his skin Kenna appeared before him her expression unreadable you have done well she said Toby gasped for air now tell me how to stop Nia Kenna’s lips curved into a slow smile the Pearl weakens her but if you
want to truly defeat her she leaned closer you must return to Odin Toby’s heart dropped Odin the place he was banished from if he set foot there the king would have him killed but he had no choice aah was still there and so was his unborn child Toby squared his shoulders I will go Kenna’s eyes gleamed then prepare yourself fisherman the final battle is near aah stared at the guard blocking her path her heart hammering his spear glinted in the Moonlight inches from her swollen belly you will not leave he repeated voice firm but aah
was not the same timid princess she had once been she had seen betrayal suffered heartbreak and now carried a child the kingdom wanted to take from her she would not surrender AO gripped her arm her fingers trembling aah we must do something before the guard could react aah snatched Ed a handful of sand from the Garden Path and threw it into his eyes the men let out a cry stumbling backward rubbing at his face run aah shouted AO pulled her forward and together they darted into the hidden passage the entrance covered by thick
Vines the moment they stepped inside the air grew damp the tunnel was dark and narrow twisting beneath the palace walls aah fought to keep her breathing steady as they ran her mind racing if they could make it past the city walls they had a chance but would they be fast enough behind them an alarm sounded the palace guards knew and they were coming Toby stood at the edge of Odin hidden beneath a heavy cloak the Pearl pulsed in his grip its glow faint under the fabric the last time he had been here he had been dragged through the streets in
Chains beaten banished now he was returning not as a beggar not as an exile but as a father fighting for his child Kenna Stood Beside him her expression unreadable if they catch you they will kill you she reminded him Toby’s jaw tightened then I won’t let them catch me Kenna chuckled Brave words fisherman but bravery is not enough you will need a plan Toby exh hailed he knew she was right first he needed to find aah then they had to escape before Nia came for them all pulling his head lower he slipped into the city his heart
pounding the game of Fate was reaching its Climax and there was no turning back aah and AO ran through the tunnel their footsteps echoing the exit was close AA could see the faint glow of moonlight ahead but so could the guards they’re in the passage a voice shouted behind them torches flared shadows flickered and the sound of heavy boots filled the tunnel they were closing in adah’s lungs burned she had to make it then an arm yanked her backward she let out a gasp struggling but strong hands held her firm it was not a guard it was Toby
Aiden his voice was rough desperate we have to go A’s heart stopped Toby she touched his face almost afraid he wasn’t real then a spear whizzed past them embedding itself in the tunnel wall the guards were too close there was no time for Tears no time for questions Toby grabbed her hand run and together they fled into the night the next morning King Obi stood before his Warriors his face a mask of Rage his daughter was gone the exiled fisherman had returned and now Whispers of a sea curse spread like wildfire Nia will not let this go
unpunished his adviser muttered the river goddess will come for us all King Obi slammed his staff against the floor then we will find them before she does he turned to his best warriors bring them back he ordered Dead or Alive the hunt had begun far from the palace deep within the waves Nia seeed the Pearl was gone Toby had taken it and now she would take everything from him rising from the depths she whispered into the currents her voice carried through the rivers and streams reaching Every Creature every whisper
tide find the fisherman find the woman and bring me the child the ocean itself trembled Nia’s Revenge was at hand Toby a and AO hurried through the forest moving toward the mountains We Can’t Stop Now Toby said his eyes scanning the trees the kingk men will come for us and so will Nia aah squeezed his hand we can’t keep running forever Toby exhaled then we make our stand a frowned what do you mean Toby turned holding up the glowing Pearl Nia’s power is in this he said if we can use it maybe we can stop her AO looked
uneasy and if we fail Toby met A’s gaze then we lose everything a touched her belly determination hardening her features then we will not fail the battle for fate had begun and only one side would survive what happens next will Toby and a use the Pearl to defeat Nia or will the mermaid goddess claim her revenge the final battle is near the forest whispered with the sound of approaching danger Toby a and AO moved carefully through the undergrowth their footsteps muffled by damp Earth the glow of the stolen Pearl pulsed against
Toby’s chest casting faint blue light against the trees we need to find shelter before nightfall AO whispered glancing over her shoulder the king’s Warriors will track US aah placed a protective hand over her belly her heart pounding and Nia Toby’s grip on the Pearl tightened she won’t stop hunting us his voice was low but determined but I won’t let her take our child as they pressed on the sky darkened heavy clouds rolling in a distant Rumble of Thunder warned them of an approaching storm but the air was thick with more than just rain Nia was
close the river goddess had sent her Whispers through the land every stream every Lake every drop of water carried her rage and soon she would arrive back at The Palace king Obi stood in the Great Hall watching as his Warriors armed themselves his daughter had fled his people were afraid and an ancient curse was about to be Unleashed upon the kingdom find them he commanded his men before the river does his finest tracker eeken stepped forward we will not fail my king with that the Warriors set out their torches
flickering in the growing storm they would hunt Toby and a through the night and if they found them first they would show no mercy Toby a and AO found shelter beneath a rocky overhang just as the storm broke rain poured down in heavy sheets soaking the ground but the storm was unnatural the river was rising from the darkness a voice slithered through the trees fisherman Toby stiffened heart hammering he knew that voice Nia had arrived lightning split the sky revealing her figure standing at the edge of the riverbank her long dark hair whipped in
the wind her eyes glowing like deep ocean waters she did not look human not anymore she was the storm itself you have stolen from me she whispered her voice laced with grief and fury now I will take what is mine she raised her hands and the river surged forward a massive wave roared toward them filled with writhing water spirits and shadowy creatures from the depths Toby grabbed a and AO pulling them backward as the water crashed into the Rocks missing them by inches Nia please a shouted stepping forward spare my child but Nia’s face
Twisted with sor Sor and rage you took mine she whispered now I take yours the river goddess lunged Toby had only seconds to react he gripped the Pearl and held it high the blue light blazed pushing Nia back she let out a shriek as the glow repelled her the storm shuttering around them but the Pearl was not enough Nia’s power was too great Toby knew what he had to do he turned to aah his eyes filled with pain take the Pearl he said A’s breath hitched what no Toby pressed the glowing Pearl into her hands it’s the only thing
that can protect you you have to keep our child safe AO grabbed A’s arm pulling her back we have to go aah tears mixed with the rain Toby but before she could stop him Toby stepped forward toward Nia Nia’s glowing eyes locked onto him you think surrender will save them she sneered Toby lifted his chin take me instead he said spare aah spare my child Nia’s expression flickered for a moment grief clouded her Fury she had once been a mother too the river swi R around her feet hesitant then slowly she stepped forward if I take you she whispered you
will never see them again Toby swallowed hard his heart achd at the thought but he nodded if that is the price I will pay it the wind howled the river churned and then Nia raised her hand the waters Rose around Toby swallowing him whole aah screamed the last thing Toby saw was the pain in her eyes before the river dragged him down down down into the Darkness Darkness that was all Toby knew the river had swallowed him whole dragging him into its depths the cold wrapped around him like a heavy shroud squeezing the breath from his lungs he tried to
move but the water was too strong it pulled him down Ward deeper than he ever thought a river could go then suddenly he could breathe Toby gasped his eyes flying open he was no longer sinking he was standing at the bottom of the river but this was no ordinary riverbed all around him the water shimmered with an eerie glow strange glowing fish darted through the Shadows a coral Palace massive and ancient Rose from the depths it spired twisting like the branches of an ancient tree and in the distance figures moved Toby’s heart
pounded he was not alone the figures stepped closer their faces coming into view Toby’s breath caught in his throat they were men fishermen Warriors even Nobles dozens of them but their skin was pale almost translucent Their Eyes Were Hollow filled with an unnatural sorrow they moved slowly as if trapped in an endless dream The Lost Ones a voice whispered Toby turned sharply Nia stood before him her flowing gown shimmered like water her hair floating as if caught in an invisible current you are now one of them she said
softly those who have taken from the river and have paid the price Toby’s fists clenched you promised you would spare a and my child Nia’s lips curled into a sad smile and so I have she gestured toward the lost souls around him but you belong to me now Toby’s chest tightened was this it would he be trapped here forever he could not accept that he would not accept that Toby had always been a Survivor even in the worst of storms he had found a way to keep fighting he would do the same name now while Nia was distracted he studied the prison of lost
souls the riverbed was vast but he noticed something strange a path of light leading upward could that be the way out he needed help Toby turned to one of the Lost men an old fisherman with sad eyes is there a way to escape he whispered the men flinched glancing at Nia in fear then in a barely Audible Voice he muttered the Pearl Toby’s pulse quickened the Pearl aah had it and if he could reach it he might still have a chance but how he needed a distraction Toby turned back to Nia taking a deep breath and then he
challenged her you still mourn your child Toby said stepping closer to Nia you punish me because you lost him but do you really think this will bring you peace Nia’s expression darkened you know nothing of my grief I know enough Toby said you took my freedom but I will make you a bargain Nia’s eyes narrowed you have nothing to offer me Toby smiled I have knowledge Nia hesitated what knowledge Toby exhaled gambling everything the soul of your child it is not lost for the first time Nia looked uncertain if I find him Toby pressed on
will you let me go the water stilled then slowly Nia nodded you have 3 days she said fail and you will belong to the river forever the countdown had begun above the water aah clutched the glowing Pearl her heart heavy with grief Toby was gone and now the king’s warriors were closing in she had to keep moving but the baby inside her stirred and a sudden wave of exhaustion crashed over her are you all right AO asked worry etched on her face Aiden nodded weakly we must find help but where then a rustling sound came from the trees a
figure stepped forward a man cloaked in red his eyes filled with Secrets I have been waiting for you princess a he said softly adah’s blood ran cold who are you the men smiled I am the one who knows how to bring Toby back the men LED aah and AO deeper into the forest where an ancient Shrine stood covered in Vines my name is Jay he said and I know the truth about the river’s curse ad’s heart pounded tell me Jay knelt before the shrine his fingers brushing against the Old Stone the mermaid’s child was never truly lost aah
gasped then where is he G day’s eyes met hers he was reborn a cold chill ran through Ada reborn as what g day hesitated then in a whisper he said as your child what happens next Toby has only 3 days to find the lost soul aah has just uncovered a terrifying secret and the kingdom is on the brink of collapse aah staggered backward gripping her belly as Gay’s words echoed in her mind your child is the mermaid’s lost son impossible her breath came in quick gasps no that can’t be Jay’s gaze was calm but firm it is the truth AO looked between
them her eyes wide with fear but if that’s true then Nia will never stop hunting you aah A’s heart pounded the river goddess thought she had lost her child forever but in a cruel twist of fate her lost baby had been reborn in A’s womb would this Revelation save them or would it Doom them all meanwhile beneath the river Toby searched desperately he had 3 days to find Nia’s lost son but he now understood the horrifying truth the soul he was looking for wasn’t here in the depths it was inside aah Toby clenched his
fists how could he tell Nia if she found out would she rip the child from ad’s womb would she spare them or would her rage consume everything there was only one way to ensure Ada and the baby survived Toby had to trick the goddess he turned to the lost souls help me he pleaded there must be another way to satisfy Nia’s grief the old fisherman who had spoken to him earlier stepped forward his eyes glowed with an ancient wisdom there is a way the old man whispered but it will require a sacrifice Toby swallowed hard who’s
the old man’s gaze darkened yours at The Palace king Obi sat on his throne his fingers drumming against the armrest his daughter was missing his kingdom was falling apart and now the Whispers of the river’s wrath filled his Halls one of his generals knelt before him Your Majesty we have searched the land the princess has vanished Obie’s jaw tightened if he could not find adaah there was only one other way to save his kingdom from the curse he turned to the court priest summon the spirit speakers we will bargain with the river
goddess ourselves the priest hesitated but my king to call upon her is dangerous Obie slammed his fist on the throne then let her come in Fury I will end this curse myself the court fell silent King Obi was about to do the unthinkable the sky over the kingdom darkened a storm like no other gathered above the palace the river swelled Rising higher and higher spilling into the streets the people screamed as the waters consumed their homes and then she appeared Nia she Rose from the flood her glowing eyes burning with rage you dare
summon me King Obi she hissed her voice like the Roar of the ocean the king stood tall I do and I demand an end to this madness Nia laughed a terrible bone chilling sound you do not make demands of the river she said you have already lost the water swirled violently threatening to consume the palace and then a single voice cut through the storm wait the crowd turned it was aah soaked from the rain the glowing Pearl clutched in her hands she stepped forward and with unshakable courage she spoke the words that would
decide all their Fates I know where your son is what happens next aah has just made a dangerous move Toby is still trapped the kingdom is drowning and the truth is about to come out will Nia spare them or will the river take everything the storm paused Nia’s glowing eyes locked onto aah her face unreadable the wind still howled the wat still raged but for a single heartbeat the world Stood Still you li Nia whispered a clutched her stomach I do not Jay standing behind her stepped forward the child you lost was never
taken from you he was Reborn the court gasped King Obie froze his grip tightening on the ceremonial staff in his hand the Revelation spread like wildfire Toby was no longer the villain who had stolen from the river the goddess herself had unknowingly given her own child back to the world but would she accept this or would her wrath destroy them all deep beneath the river Toby felt it a shift in the water a change in the current of Fate The Lost Souls around him trembled she knows the old fisherman whispered Toby’s heart
pounded this was his chance with all his strength he pushed forward swimming toward the path of light he had seen before the waters fought against him but he refused to stop he had to return for aah for his child for his Destiny then suddenly a hand grabbed him Toby twisted his breath catching Nia stood before him her gaze burned like Fire and Ice you dare to run Toby held his ground I dare to finish what you started for a long moment Nia studied him then with a flick of her wrist the water exploded and Toby was thrown toward the
surface the palace cour Courtyard was in chaos people screamed as the waters crept higher flooding the land adah stood firm gripping the Pearl her body trembling she did not know if her words had saved them or doomed them then a great wave Rose from the river and from its depths a figure emerged soaked breathless but alive Toby had returned the crowd gasped the exiled Prince had defied death itself and now he stood before the river goddess One Last Time Nia hovered in the air her power crackling like a storm her
gaze shifted between adah’s swollen belly and Toby’s defyant stare for the first time uncertainty flickered in her eyes if this is true she said slowly then I have lost my way Toby stepped forward you wanted Justice he said said but your grief made you blind Nia’s fingers tightened into fists the air around her shimmered with power then she exhaled the storm ceased the waters stilled and in the quiet the goddess lowered herself to the ground she placed a single hand on A’s belly a Golden Glow spread from her fingertips surrounding
the unborn child in a warm light a child of Two Worlds she whispered born of land and sea the air shifted Nia turned to Toby and for the first time there was no hatred In Her Eyes the curse is broken she declared the kingdom erupted in cheers but as the people celebrated the goddess turned once more and left them with one final warning you have won my Mercy today Nia said her voice echoing across the courtyard but beware her eyes darkened this child is no ordinary being a his heart be quickened Toby frowned what do you mean Nia’s gaze bore
into him he will be powerful more than you can imagine and if he is not guided well the world itself May tremble under his wrath silence fell over the kingdom a chill ran through adah’s vein s her child was safe for now but the future that was a battle yet to come and as the goddess vanished into mist Toby and aah knew their story was far from over what happens next the curse is lifted the kingdom is safe and Toby has cheated death but now a new danger looms the child of Two Worlds will grow and his power will shake the land will
he become a blessing or a curse greater than his mother’s the moon hung low over the kingdom casting a silver glow over the palace walls the air was Heavy with the scent of rain though the storm had long since passed inside the Royal Chambers a screamed sweat dripped from her forehead as she gripped the silk sheets beneath her The Midwives worked frantically their hands steady but their hearts racing the child is coming one of them cried Toby stood nearby his hands clenched into fists his heart pounded so loudly that
it nearly drowned out the sound of adah’s cries Jay Stood Beside him his face Grim remember what the goddess said he murmured Toby swallowed how could he forget if he is not guided well the world itself May tremble under his wrath then a sharp cry pierced the air The Midwives froze for a moment time Stood Still then slowly one of the women lifted the newborn into the air the baby skin shimmered glowing faintly under the torch light his tiny fingers curled and uncurled and when his eyes fluttered open they were as deep and endless as
the ocean itself Toby felt his breath catch G day’s voice was barely above a whisper the child of Two Worlds has been born and outside the palace deep beneath the river Nia opened her eyes a new Destiny had begun as days passed Whispers spread throughout the kingdom the Royal child was no ordinary baby he never cried when he was hungry instead the palace fountains would overflow as if answering an unseen call when he laughed the air grew thicker with the scent of the sea even though the ocean was miles away and when
aah held him close she swore she could hear the sound of waves crashing in his tiny heartbeat the people began to murmur is he a gift or a curse the elders spoke in hushed voices some feared the prophecy others believed he would unite the Two Worlds but there was one thing they all agreed on this child was not meant for an ordinary life late one night aah sat awake watching her baby sleep his small chest Rose and fell peaceful Innocent but deep inside her fear noded her heart what if I cannot control him she thought of Nia’s warning the goddess
had not cursed the child but she had not blessed him either she had simply left him in their hands a door creaked open Toby entered his face tired but determined you’re still awake a nodded I keep wondering what if we fail him Toby sat beside her placing a hand on hers then we don’t AA looked at him searching his face for the certainty she lacked g day believes this child is meant to change the world she whispered Toby’s jaw tightened then we will teach him how but neither of them noticed the tiny glistening droplets forming on the
child’s fingertip IPS saltwater the ocean was already calling the kingdom was still celebrating the birth when the first Omen arrived a lone traveler appeared at the palace Gates his robes were dark lined with golden patterns that shimmered in the sun his face was hidden beneath a hood but when he spoke his voice was like the rolling Tides I have come for the child the guards crossed their Spears who are you you the stranger slowly pulled back his hood his face was weathered by time his skin etched with marks of the deep but his eyes they were
the same as the child’s the wind howled through the courtyard and for the first time since the child’s birth the people felt true fear Toby and a were summoned at once Jay Stood Beside them his expression unreadable as they faced The Stranger who are you Toby demanded the men did not bow nor did he offer his name instead he studied the child cradled in A’s arms then he whispered four words that sent chills down their spines he is not yours aah held the baby tighter he is my son the man’s gaze was steady no he belongs to the ocean Toby
stepped forward what do you want the stranger exhaled to warn you the air around them grew thick with tension the child’s power is growing The Stranger continued and others have sensed it Toy’s fists clenched others the men nodded there are beings older than the river goddess they have slumbered for Generations but now they are waking aah felt her heartbeat Quicken you must prepare the stranger said because when they come his voice lowered to a whisper they will want him for themselves silence filled the courtyard a single droplet of water fell
from the sky though the sun still Shone and somewhere in the depths of the ocean something stirred what happens next a new danger is Awakening the child of Two Worlds is growing in power and ancient beings have begun to notice but who is the mysterious stranger and what terrifying force is coming for the boy the courtyard Stood Still aah clutched her son tightly her heart pounding Toby’s fists remained clenched at his sides the stranger’s eyes flickered to the child there is little time Jay finally spoke his voice calm
but firm who are you the men exhaled his shoulders heavy with unseen weight I am a messenger from who Toby asked sharply The Strangers lips barely moved the ones who sleep beneath the ocean floor a chill crept through the air a is breath hitched what do they want the men did not blink your son the wind howled through the palace grounds and for the first time Toby and a realized this was only the beginning that night aah could not sleep she lay beside Toby but her mind raced the strangers words echoed in her ears they will want him for themselves
she turned to look at her baby who slept peacefully in a woven bassinet near their bedside his tiny chest Rose and fell but something was strange his breathing matched the rhythm of waves in out in out A’s stomach Twisted she reached out and brushed his cheek and her fingers came back wet with saltwater she gasped the child stirred his small fingers twitching his lips moved though he was asleep and then in a voice not his own he whispered the tide is coming adaah jerked back and deep Beneath the Sea something ancient began to
wake far from the kingdom Beyond the Horizon where the ocean stretched endlessly the waters began to churn the sea boiled the waves twisting unnaturally and deep deep below where no mortal had ever set foot the Watchers stirred they had been asleep for centuries waiting watching and now they had sensed him the child of Two Worlds the one who could open the gates the water trembled as a voice low guttural ancient echoed through the dark he has awakened another voice rough as crashing waves responded then we must claim him before
the land does the ocean groaned the depth Shifting the Watchers were rising and nothing could stop them now morning came but A’s fear did not fade she studied her son searching for any other strange signs and then she saw it a faint shimmering mark on his left shoulder it was barely visible like a ripple in water but when the light hit it just right aah saw it was shaped like a spiral Toby saw her staring what is it aah hesitated then she traced The Mark with her fingertip it wasn’t there before she whispered Toby
frowned what does it mean Jay who had been silent until now finally spoke it means the ocean has already claimed him a cold silence filled the room A’s grip on her child tightened she would not let them take him she would fight the ocean itself if she had to but but deep in her heart she knew the tide was coming and it would not stop that evening dark clouds rolled in from the sea the villagers gathered in fear a storm is coming they murmured but this was no ordinary storm the waves crashed against the shore Rising higher
than ever before lightning sliced through the sky Illuminating something huge moving beneath the waves G stood at the edge of the palace balcony his face pale it has begun he murmured Toby Stood Beside him what do we do Jay turned to him his expression Grim you must leave the kingdom Toby’s stomach dropped what Jay’s voice was low urgent if you stay here they will come and they will not stop until they have the boy aah stepped forward clutching her son to her chest we can’t run forever G day’s eyes darkened no but you
can buy time the storm raged the ocean roared and from its depths a figure began to rise their time was running out what happens next the Watchers of the deep are Awakening the storm is only the first sign of their arrival but what do do they want and can Toby and Ada protect their son from the forces of the ocean itself Thunder rumbled through the sky the palace shook as violent winds howled through the kingdom Toby stood at the balcony his knuckles white as he gripped the railing from the shore the waves had
risen to terrifying Heights the water churned swirling as if something beneath it was stirring and then a deep bone chilling voice echoed From The Storm give us the child AA gasped holding her son close the baby stirred In Her Arms his tiny fingers twitching as if he could hear them Toby’s breath caught from the ocean a massive Shadow began to rise lightning flashed revealing a figure standing at top the waves a tall cloaked being its face hidden beneath a hood of Shifting water it stood effortlessly on the Raging Sea its voice
of whisper and a roar at once he does not belong to you Jay stepped forward gripping his staff his voice was calm but firm he is our son you cannot take him the figure tilted its head is that what you believe another wave crashed sending water surging toward the palace walls the Watchers had come and they would not leave empty-handed the first wave struck with unimaginable Force the water rushed through the streets knocking down stalls flooding homes tearing through Stone the people screamed as the ocean invaded their land
guards rushed forward but the moment they stepped into the water they froze their bodies stiffened their eyes turning dark as if the sea itself had taken hold of them Toby swore under his breath they’re turning them into Warriors Jay raised his staff the Watchers are claiming the strong we must leave now aah hesitated looking down at her child but where do we go a voice answered from the Shadows to the only place the ocean cannot reach they turned and standing there dressed in a cloak of woven Reeds was Nia the mermaid Toby’s blood ran
cold you he growled aah stiffened she still remembered the night the mermaid had appeared in the palace forcing them to promise their firstborn in exchange for Toby’s life but Nia’s golden eyes were calm you hate me she said simply but right now I am your only chance Toby clenched his fists why would you help us Nia stepped forward her gaze flicking to the baby because you do not understand what is coming Jay narrowed his eyes explain Nia side the Watchers are not like me they are not gods they are ancient older than the rivers older than
the land itself a swallowed then what do they want Nia’s expression darkened they want your son because he is the key a bolt of lightning split the Sky the Watchers Whispers grew louder time was running out and the only way to survive might be trusting the very being they once feared we cannot stay here J said if what she says is true the child is the key to something greater aah hesitated but what if we’re running right into their hands Toby looked at the flooded streets at the guards Frozen in unnatural silence their eyes dark as
the deep sea he made his decision we leave he said g day nodded then we must go now Toby turned to Nia where do we go the mermaid’s golden eyes flickered there is an island she said a place where even the ocean dare not touch aah frowned why Nia’s expression was unreadable because something even older than and The Watcher sleeps there the wind howled and the battle was just beginning they traveled through the storm pushing against the violent winds the Watchers did not follow not yet but the ocean whispered it called for the
child and the child he listened for as they neared the Mysterious Island the baby opened his eyes and for the first time he spoke a single word in a language no mortal had spoken for a thousand years awaken a rumble shook the island and deep beneath the ground something stirred what happens next the Watchers are closing in the ocean is calling and now something even older has awakened but what sleeps on the island and will the child’s power save the world or destroy it the moment the baby spoke the Earth beneath them shuttered
the island silent for centuries now growned as if it had been Disturbed from a deep sleep Jay pressed a hand to the ground his face pale the land is alive Nia’s golden eyes darkened no she whispered something beneath it is alive Toby tightened his grip on A’s hand what did he just say a was trembling holding their son close it didn’t sound like any language I’ve ever heard Jay turned to Nia you know don’t you the mermaid hesitated then she exhaled there was a reason the ocean feared this place she said a reason the
Watchers never dared to come here the air thickened with an eerie silence even the wind seemed to pause to heartbeat thumped loudly in his ears what’s buried here Nia’s voice was barely a whisper the first Guardian the ground beneath them cracked and suddenly they were falling the ground split apart and they tumbled into the darkness below a screamed clutching the baby to her chest Toby reached for her catching her hand just as they plunged into the unknown the air rushed past them the all endless until finally they
landed softly as if something unseen had caught them g day groaned pushing himself up is everyone all right aah checked the baby he was silent staring wide-eyed into the darkness Toby helped her up where are we a dim Golden Light flickered around them strange symbols glowed faintly on the walls ancient and pulsing like a heartbeat J day stepped closer tracing his fingers over the markings these These are older than any writing I’ve seen Nia remained still her eyes darting around we should not be here Toby frowned I thought you said this island
was safe the mermaid’s throat bobbed it was until you woke him then a voice crumbled through the darkness low and thunderous who disturbs my sleep the walls Shook and in the flickering light something enormous began to move the Earth trembled Jay Toby and Adis stood Frozen as the ground beneath them shifted then out of the darkness it emerged a massive figure taller than the tallest trees woven from Stone and gold its body was marked with the same glowing symbols that covered the walls its eyes deep and endless locked
onto the child in A’s arms at last the guardian rumbled a stiffened at last what the guardian did not blink he has come the one who will tip the balance Toby’s chest tightened balance between what the Guardians had tilted slightly between between the land and the Sea a heavy silence fell Jay exhaled you mean the war between the Watchers and the gods of the land The guardian’s Gaze did not move from the child the war is already here the baby blinked staring up at the massive being and then he smiled and in a voice that
was not his own he whispered I Remember You The Guardian bowed and that was when Toby and aah realized their son was not just any child he was something more something far older than they could ever understand G day’s breath came fast no that’s impossible the guardian remained still and yet it is true adah’s arms tightened around her baby he’s just a child the guardian’s deep voice rumbled no he is a bridge Toby swallowed a bridge between what the guardian’s golden eyes glowed between the gods of the ocean and the gods of
the land Jay took a step back then that means yes the guardian looked at aah he is the firstborn of Two Worlds a hush fell over them and far above Beyond The Cave beyond the island the ocean raged the Watchers had felt it they knew and they were coming the moment the guardian spoke something in the ocean shifted the Watchers who had been waiting at the shores suddenly moved the waves Rose twisting into impossible shapes figures began to rise from the water Warriors their skin glistening with the curse of the deep their eyes
glowed black and at the center of them all a woman stepped forward her presence alone made the sea quiver she wore a gown of woven Mist her hair like flowing Rivers her fingers curled and the tides obeyed her command she was the queen of the Watchers and her voice was the sound of the storm itself find the child the Warriors moved the sea rushed forward the war for the child had be gun what happens next the guardian has awakened the Watcher’s Queen is coming the war for the child’s fate is about to begin will the guardian protect them or
will the ocean finally claim what it seeks the ocean raged lightning split the sky the waves swirled into a monstrous Vortex as the queen of the Watchers stepped onto the shore she did not need to walk the water carried her her eyes deep and endless glowed like the darkest parts of the ocean she raised a hand and the waves Rose higher swallowing the land inch by inch behind her Warriors of the deep emerged men and women taken by the ocean’s curse their bodies twisting with power from the Watchers they had one mission to find
the child the Queen’s voice echoed through the storm he is ours return him now or face the Wrath of the sea in the distance the island shook deep below in the cavern where Toby adaah and the others had fallen the guardian of the land lifted its massive head its golden eyes blazed then come and take him the war had begun the Earth rumbled as the guardian Rose to its full height its body woven from Stone roots and ancient power pulsed with golden light it turned to Toby and aah its voice a deep Thunder the time has come if you wish to save
your child you must choose your side Toby’s jaw clenched we are with you a swallowed hard gripping their son tightly but can we win the guardian’s golden gaze dimmed the ocean is Relentless but the land does not bow easily the cavern walls Shook and suddenly Roots burst forth from the ground twisting and climbing toward the surface Nia’s breath hitched the island is waking up Jay’s eyes widened as the golden symbols on the walls glowed brighter and then the Earth itself began to move mountains Rose Cliffs shifted
and trees grew at impossible speeds forming barriers between the Sea and the land but the queen of the Watchers only smiled you think the land can stop the tide she whispered then with a flick of her fingers she called forth the storm the first wave struck with the force of a thousand Warriors water smashed against the island tearing apart the cliffs and flooding the forests the sky turned dark heavy with the weight of the Watcher’s wrath the guardian raised a hand and the trees shifted bending into massive Shields to
block the Raging Sea for a moment it seemed like the land could hold but then the Warriors of the deep charged forward their eyes glowed black their bodies moving unnaturally fast as they leapt onto the land their hands curling into claws Toby grabbed ad’s hand we need to run Jay tightened his grip on his staff no we fight the guardian stepped forward then let the battle begin and the land itself answered its call the island erupted into chaos the Warriors of the deep clashed against the land’s Defenders creatures
of stone Vines and golden energy summoned by the guardian Toby fought beside Jay wielding a spear made from the Island’s magic Nia caught between Both Worlds stood at the edge of the battlefield her heart torn she had once sought Revenge now she wasn’t sure where she belonged the queen of the Watchers moved gracefully through the chaos Untouched by the battle her eyes were locked on aah and the child she raised her hand and suddenly A’s body froze the baby let out a small gasp his tiny fingers trembling as the ocean’s
power wrapped around him the queen smirked you cannot run from Destiny and in a Flash she vanished taking a and the child with her Darkness cold endless Darkness a gasped struggling to breathe as icy water wrapped around her body she was no longer on the island she was Beneath the Sea the queen of the Watchers stood before her the child now resting in her arms her expression was unreadable did you really think you could keep him from me she whispered aah shook reaching for her son give him back the queen tilted her head he belongs to
the ocean A’s heart pounded no she said her voice firm he belongs to himself the Queen’s lips curled into a slow knowing smile we shall see and with that she turned and the ocean swallowed them whole what happens next the queen has taken a and the child into the deepest depths of the sea Toby Jay and the guardian must find a way to reach them before the queen claims the child forever will a be able to protect her son in the Watcher’s domain can Toby and J day save them before it’s too late the war between land and sea is far from over
Darkness A’s lungs burned as she sank deeper and deeper into the ocean’s Abyss the water around her was freezing thick and endless pressing against her from all sides she struggled reaching for her baby but the queen of the Watchers held him tight in her arms moving effortlessly through the Deep stop fighting the queen said her voice a cal echo in the water A’s Vision blurred she was losing air her limbs weakened her body sinking no she wouldn’t give up with the last of her strength she reached out toward her son the baby turned his head
his small glowing eyes locking onto hers and suddenly the water around aah shifted a strange warmth spread through her body the crushing weight of the ocean lifted and suddenly she could breathe her eyes widened what the queen watched her with an amused expression he is Awakening aah clutched her chest realizing the truth her child had saved her but why and how the queen turned swimming deeper come aah you must see what awaits him the Shadows of the deep stirred and something ancient moved beneath them far above on the island
Toby’s rage was Unstoppable we have to go after them he shouted gripping J’s arm we can’t let her take them G day’s face was Grim even if we wanted to how do we reach them the ocean is her domain Nia standing nearby had been silent now she stepped forward there is one way Toby turned to her his eyes wild with desperation tell me Nia hesitated it is dangerous I don’t care Toby snapped I will walk into the depths of the sea myself if I have to Jay placed a firm hand on his shoulder think Toby if we act recklessly we’ll all be
lost Toby clenched his fists but forced himself to breathe Nia’s golden eyes flickered with uncertainty the queen May control the ocean but there is one thing even she cannot defy G Daye narrowed his eyes what Nia exhaled the path of the lost a cold wind blew over the island and the guardian who had been watching silently finally spoke then we must find it before it’s too late the path was older than time itself hidden beneath the Island’s deepest caves it was a bridge between two worlds a place where the living
could step into the realm of the sea without drowning but it came at a terrible price as Toby J day and Nia descended into the cavern they felt an unnatural Stillness J day shivered this place feels wrong the guardian of the land stood at the entrance its golden eyes watching them closely you seek the ocean’s domain it rumbled but be warned once you enter the path you may never return Toby squared his shoulders I don’t care I need to save them the guardian was silent for a moment then it stepped aside the entrance revealed itself a tunnel of
glowing Blue Mist stretching deep into the Earth Nia’s voice was a whisper the gate to the ocean’s heart g day hesitated if we do this we may never Escape her grasp Toby swallowed hard but in his heart there was no doubt he stepped forward then let’s go and with that they plunged into the unknown deep in the ocean’s heart AA stood before a massive sleeping figure it was impossibly large its body made of Shadows and water ancient symbols pulsed along its skin the same ones that had glowed on her child she could feel its
power and somehow she knew its name the first Watcher the queen of the Watchers watch watched her closely do you see now she murmured aah clutched her son close what is this the queen smiled this is where it began the first war between Land and Sea she stepped forward eyes glowing your child carries its Soul A’s heart stopped she looked down at her baby his small hands glowing his gaze locked onto the ancient being no no a whispered the Queen’s smile deepened yes and soon he will awaken it once more the ocean shuddered and the
first Watcher opened its eyes what happens next Toby and Jay have stepped onto the path of the lost a dangerous Gateway Into the Heart of the Ocean will they reach a in time meanwhile aah has learned a terrifying truth her child carries the soul of the first Watcher the ancient being that started the war between Land and Sea now the first Watcher is Awakening will a find a way to protect her son or is it already too late the war for the ocean is about to begin the ocean shuddered the massive figure in the depths the first Watcher stirred
from its endless Slumber its eyes deep and ancient glowed with the weight of Forgotten ages aah could not move her son her tiny innocent child reached out toward the Colossal being as if drawn by an unseen Force the glow in his hands pulsed in time with the symbols on the Watcher’s skin the queen of the Watchers watched with satisfaction it is Destiny she murmured a is breath hitched no I won’t let you take him she tried to step back but the water tightened around her holding her in place place the queen turned her
piercing gaze toward aah you don’t understand do you she lifted a hand and the waters around them began to swirl your child is not just an heir of land and sea The Watcher enormous form began to shift and its booming Voice rumbled through the abyss he is my soul returned a is heart stopped she shook her head no that can’t be true the queen smiled it is and now he will finish what was started long ago the ocean roared and the child began to Glow even brighter meanwhile on the path of the Lost Toby gday and Nia raced against
time the tunnel of mist and water seemed endless twisting and turning like a living thing the deeper they went the more the ocean’s Whispers filled their ears turn back turn back you do not belong here Toby shook his head gripping his spear tightly we’re close I can feel it Jay wiped sweat from his brow the queen is trying to scare us but Nia suddenly froze her eyes widened no this is something else the air shifted and then the tunnel collapsed the three of them plunged Into Darkness back on the island the guardian of the
land stood at the edge of the water its golden eyes watching the storm brewing Over the Sea the island itself was shaking the balance of the world was crumbling it turned to the sky Whispering a message to the wind if they fail all will be lost and Far Away something ancient and hidden stirred from the heart of the Earth for the first time in thousands of years the spirit of of the land awakened Toby hit the ground hard his vision spinning the tunnel was gone they were no longer on the path instead they had fallen into a vast underwater temple
massive pillars stretched toward a ceiling of swirling water glowing symbols covering every inch of stone J day groaned pushing himself up where are we Nia gasped this is Toby didn’t wait for an answer his heart pounded he could feel aah he could feel his child he turned to the others I don’t care where we are we need to move and without waiting he ran toward the light at the end of the temple deep in the ocean aah struggled against the Queen’s power her heart racing as the first Watcher loomed before her her child’s glow was growing
stronger the queen lifted her hand preparing to complete the final ritual but then something unexpected happened the child’s tiny fingers clenched and he turned away from the Queen the glowing energy rippled but instead of flowing toward the Watcher it pulsed backward wrapping around a instead the Queen’s eyes narrowed the first Watcher’s voice shook the ocean what is this the queen stepped forward the ritual is failing the child reached for his mother and suddenly aah understood her son was choosing her not the queen not the ocean not
Destiny her the Queen’s face Twisted in Fury n o she shrieked she lunged for the child but at that moment the temple shook a blinding Golden Light burst through the waters and Toby appeared the moment Toby stepped into the temple the ocean trembled he took one look at aah at their son at the Queen’s outstretched hands and his rage exploded get away from them the spear in his hand glowed with golden fire its power surging through the water like a living Force the queen hissed turning toward him you should not be here land
dweller Toby did not care with a mighty Roar he charged the queen of the Watchers raised her hands summoning the full force of the sea but Toby did not stop he threw the spear the golden weapon pierced the water cutting through the darkness like a burning Sun and struck the first Watcher’s chest the ocean screamed the queen gasped and the Watcher’s body began to crack the ancient being let out a deafening Roar and in that moment aah clutched their child and ran the temple began to collapse Toby turned reaching for aah we
have to go now the queen snarled this is not over but as the temple crumbled around them the ocean itself seemed to turn against her the golden fire from Toby spear spread through the depths and the first Watcher began to fall what happens next the final battle has begun the first Watcher is falling but the queen of the Watchers is not finished yet Toby aah and their son are running for their lives but will they make it out before the ocean claims them forever and what will happen to the queen now that her plan has failed the
legend is nearing its end the underwater temple shuttered crack snaking through its massive Stone pillars Toby grabbed A’s hand pulling her toward the tunnel of light that led to the surface we have to go now Ada clutched their Sun tightly against her chest his tiny body still glowing with an unearthly power behind them the first Watcher’s massive body was crumbling its deep voice echoing through the waters the balance is broken the queen of the Watchers let out a furious shriek you will not leave this place alive she threw her hands forward
and the o aade her rage a tidal wave surged from the depths rushing toward them with crushing Force AA gasped but before she could react Nia appeared the mermaid sorceress spread her arms and a glowing barrier of golden water Rose between them and the wave the waters crashed against the Shield shaking the temple with thunderous Force but Nia did not break she turned to Toby her face Grim go I will hold her off Toby hesitated but Gio she shouted there was no time to argue Toby clenched his jaw and ran pulling a along with him as they
reached the final Archway the queen of the Watchers let out an unearthly scream and the ocean shook with her Fury the queen would not be denied she raised her arms one final time her power Gathering into a swirling Vortex of dark Dark Water her voice was pure Venom if I cannot have him then neither will you a bolt of black energy shot from her hands straight toward the child adah’s eyes widened in horror no she turned her body shielding her son but before the curse could strike a golden light erupted before them Toby
gasped as a figure appeared stepping between them and the Queen’s curse it was gday the Oldman raised his staff and the curse collided with him instead a shock wave of energy rippled through the collapsing Temple g day staggered his face twisting in pain the Queen’s eyes widened in shock you g day grinned through the pain did you think you were the only one with ancient power he lifted his hand and snapped his fingers the Golden Light surrounding him exploded Ed outward slamming into the queen and shattering her form into a
thousand droplets of water the ocean screamed and the queen of the Watchers was no more Toby and aah rushed to Jay’s side but they already knew the curse had done its damage Jay sank to his knees Breathing heavily his body flickering between solid and Mist A’s hands trembled J day don’t go the Oldman chuckled weakly ah you too you were always so stubborn Toby’s jaw clenched there has to be a way to save you g day smiled my time was borrowed Toby and now the ocean is calling me home he turned to the child his golden eyes soft
protect him he whispered and then his body dissolved into golden Mist Carried Away by the tides a buried her face in her hands silent tears mixing with the ocean Toby clenched his fists Jay was gone but the ocean was at peace the waters parted the golden path of the Lost reappeared leading them home as they stepped onto it the temple behind them crumbled into nothing the ancient battle finally over the ocean had been reset Nia swam beside them silent her expression unreadable as they neared the surface Toby turned to her what will happen to
you now Nia looked at the child the Watchers are gone the sea will need new Guardians she gave a small smile perhaps your son will choose to return one day aah held him close perhaps but not today with that they stepped back onto land the the guardian of the land was waiting for them it looked at the child its golden eyes glowing the balance has been restored it turned to Toby you have paid your price now live well with that the guardian vanished into the wind Toby and a stared at the sunrise over the ocean the child between them the battle was
over but their Journey was just beginning epilog the legend lives on years passed the fisherman turned Prince built a home far from the palace where the sea met the land he and adaah raised their son teaching him of Both Worlds the land of men and the mysteries of the deep but sometimes on quiet nights Toby would look out at the ocean and he could hear Jay’s laughter in the wind and in the depths of the sea a child’s voice called to the waves a voice that the ocean never forgot
