The Evolution Chronicles

The conquest of Oceabal was swift and decisive. Within a short hour, the city had been swept through by the merfolk, and the humans sent by the Henshaw Dynasty were captured.

Tide ordered for the people of the port city to be gathered in the city center, and then he repeated Mohawk's actions with the Cleansing Orb. He also did the same thing with their water source after confirming its position, and that it was the water that was the means that the humans used to spread the drug.

After that, he carried out a closed execution of the humans, and simply burnt their bodies into nothing.

Compared to Mohawk, Tide was much more ruthless. The only reason why he did not hold a public execution of the humans was because Ariel had advised him against it. She had told him that the chances of the humans in the city taking his actions wrongly was quite high.

With their actions, they had also taken out the representative of the Henshaw Dynasty from power, leaving only the other major powers in control of the port city. The people had no idea about this change, so any uproar that might have happened did not happen.

"So what do we do now? We can't leave here unsupervised, and we also have three more forces to free. The Zuruk Tribe, Amibal Pack and Fressia City." Ariel spoke as she walked beside Tide. The man had put on a pair of proper pants, but chose not to wear a shirt.

"We have to contact Mohawk and discuss the details with him first. By the time we are ready to strike another place, the second wave of our forces should have arrived at the beachhead, and Malim will lead them there." Tide answered her.

"I see. Well, let's get it on with, the sooner we finish this, the sooner we can get back home." She smiled.

"Mm." Tide agreed and made his way into the building where the leaders of the city stayed. It was similar to the Seat of Power in Kraetor City, but did not have a specific name. Most people just referred to it as Oceabal's Center.

When Tide and Ariel entered the building, they were greeted by a variety of people who were present on the ground floor, and had noticed their entrance, not that it was hard to miss the entry of a large blue haired man, and a lady with purple, spongy hair.

Tide ignored all the greetings while Ariel happily replied them, before making their way to a private room where they could discuss more sensitive matters.

A few demi-humans and humans that had gotten there from the beachhead through land travel also followed them in.

"Is there anyone listening in on us?" Tide asked a Werewolf.

"No. It's all clear." The lady replied.

Tide nodded before he signaled for the meeting to commence. Ariel handed him a brown scroll that had a red strap tying it up, and he untied it before rolling it out. He envisioned the person he wanted to communicate with, and the scroll gained a slight glow to it.

His thoughts turned into words that were sent through the scroll, and over to the receiving scroll's end, which was the similar scroll that was in Mohawk's possession.

~

Done with Oceabal, who are we hitting next? Personally, I vote for Fressia.

~

Tide's message was short. He was not a fan of beating around the bush and unnecessary chats. The reply took a bit of time, but it eventually came.

~

I don't mind Fressia. I will relay our decision to Malim. We strike in four days.

Also, send Lady Ariel my regards.

~

Tide scoffed when he saw the last portion of the reply. He rolled up the scroll, and it lost its glow, before he handed it back to Ariel.

"Fressia, four days. Rest up and prepare, Mohawk will relay our decision to Malim so that he can rendezvous with us on the way there." Tide announced and called an end to the meeting. Mohawk had already done most of the planning, and he did not mind it one bit.

One by one, the people left the room, with Tide and Ariel behind, but when the Cecaelia was about to leave the room, Tide grabbed her hand and pulled her back in before shutting the door and locking it from the inside.

"Ahhh~"

That morning, a load moan rang through Oceabal's Center, startling the staff that worked there to reorganize the port city.

"You didn't have to be such a brute, you know." Ariel pouted as she punched Tide's side.

"Mm, whatever. Mohawk had his eyes on you, so I needed to stake my claim first." The man grunted as he stared at the city that was being rebuilt after the damage that was done to it, from atop the city center.

"Humph!" Ariel crossed her arms and pouted angrily. Although she looked angry, she was actually really happy. She had always admired Tide, and had secretly thought up all the ways that she could convince him to let her be his wife, but all of a sudden, he had taken the initiative to claim her as his own.

She really couldn't be happier!

'I guess this is all thanks to Mohawk. I should thank him the next time I see him.' Ariel thought to herself as she nibbled on her lips.

Her eyed drifted over to her shoulder, where a blue, spiral tattoo had formed over the past few hours. It was a sign that she was taken, one of the unique features of her people, that allowed others know that they were off the 'single market'. Now, she was officially a 'married woman'. Married to one of the most popular men of the oceans, not to mention.

She couldn't wait to get back home so she could gossip all about it with her friends and family back home. She was sure that they would be jealous when they came to hear of who her chosen one was.

After all, she was not the only one who had eyes for Tide.
