The Healing
Zhou POV
I have to invite the bluebird. I need her help.
Zhang is going to kill my only sister, Mia. I have to invite the spirit. I said as I opened the heavens.
Hahahaha, fetch her sister, Mia. You think you can disobey me and go free? No, I will kill your sister and feed her body to birds in the sky.
Get her for me, he ordered, and they brought Mia, who was already in tears.
Kill her. He ordered.
, I shouted. Immediately, the heavens opened, and the spirit descended like a bird and appeared in a woman's form.
How dare you. The spirit bird speaks, her voice like that of thunder and lightning.
You want to kill her even after he has summoned me.
Zhang, you have broken the rules of heaven. Wolves are not allowed to kill their fellow wolf, and for this single reason, a curse is placed on you; you will die a painful death.
Kill her. He ordered. Nobody stands in my way.
The soldiers move forward to kill the spirit, but they are all struck to death by the power of the spirit Bird.
Do you think you can kill me? Asked the spirit bird.
She struck Zhang down with her power and took Mia to leave. When she cited Xie, she smiled at her and disappeared. Meanwhile, Zhou, who was lying helplessly, turned to ashes and disappeared.
XIE POV
******************
Wow.
So this is true. My uncle is so wicked, and I had no clue about it, but I must say the spirit is very beautiful in human form. I mean her body shines like a star.
Why did she look at me and smile? Asked me.
I have to go and check up on Chang. I want to see him.
***************************************
LUO POV
Why is the spirit bird looking at my sister with a smile? Something is fishing about it.
And where is my sister going? I had to follow her, find out her plan, and move into the palace.
I have to place my eye on her. I said as I followed her.
Wait. Where is she going outside the palace?
****************
XIE POV
Xie took Liang and two guards down the cave where they blocked the entrance. On getting there, we saw no one. We thought that he had left.
I called his name but no one answered.
I thought he would wait for me a little bit.
I said to myself sadly, and I turned to leave when I heard a smooth voice. Nice to see you again. He said.
I thought I would not see you again.
I smiled at his handsome face, but "I am here now," I replied with a smile.
******************************
LUO POV
Why would they block the entrance? I must find out what is going on inside there. I have to break the spell.
**************************************
XIE POV
You have to leave, someone is trying to break the spell. I said to Chang.
I can't, I have not fully recovered. He replied sadly.
Then you must turn back into a human before the breaker breaks the spell. If they find you here, you are dead. I will cast my healing spell on you, the rest is on you.
Liang goes to the entrance with his power, making sure no one enters until he turns into a human. I said to Liang. "Okay, my queen," he replied.
Then I moved closer to Chang and started casting a healing spell on him while Liang held the entrance with his power.
After casting the healing power, and trying to transform into a human, we have no time to waste. Chang closed his eyes and his power transformed him into a human. Immediately after, he was naked.
"Can I get clothes?" he asked.
Sure, I replied, giving him a piece of cloth.
Immediately after that, Liang releases the entrance, and Luo breaks into it.
What is going on here? She asked.
Nothing, sister. Just having a meeting with my guard. I answered.
And who is this man standing beside the riverside? She asked again.
Oh, we saw him in the mountains, so we decided to help him. I answered.
Oh, I see," she said and left.
Ooh, that was so close, damn. I turned to Chang, who is now a human. You have to stay here while I figure out a way to help you escape. I will assign two guards to keep a check on you.
Thank you. He said.
You are welcome. I replied with a smile and left.
*****************************
LUO POV
Something is not fishy about my sister. What is hiding? Did she find out that I am also among those who plan to kill Father? I don't like her.
I hate her, I will not allow her to be a queen.
Never! I said out of anger.
But wait, who is that man? Why is he standing beside the river? How did Xie know there was a river there? I said to myself.
Oh, wait. "The Mermaid". The one father talked about, come to think of that man's body was full of water.
Hell No!!
No Way, Never. I must find out myself. I can never let that happen.
*********************
Chang pov:
Why do they have to lock me up? I must not touch the water or else I will return to my original form. Hmm, I kinda love my human form, but can I associate with them?
I saw a lady who looked exactly like Xie. She must be her twin sister, but I sense hatred, jealousy, and desperation. I don't know whether Xie is aware her sister is up to something, something I can't figure out.
I need to leave this place, but the guards are at the entrance. What should I do?
Let me check if there is another door that leads outside the cave without going through the entrance. I said while looking for another door.
Oh, yes, here is another door, but it is very small. Hardly will someone know that there is a door here. I said to myself, trying to escape.
LUO POV
Something is not right. What is my sister hiding? Why would she assign two guards in the cave when she is not hiding anything? If I find out that she is hiding the Merman, I will kill the Merman myself.
Yes, I have to stop now. If she is not able to marry the Merman, she can't sit on the throne, so that means my first assignment is to find the Merman and kill him.
Meanwhile, I will assign someone to monitor the cave. I want to know who goes in and out of the cave. I need to see Uncle Zhang. I want to know the next plan.
CHANG POV
Wow, everything here is lively; I can't even work properly. My leg hurts. To be sincere, there is a difference between the marine world and the human world.
But wait, oh, who are those people? Everybody doing something? What should I do now? Some are even swimming and I can't swim.
THE GUARDS AND XIE POV
Since morning, we have not checked up on this Merman. Please go and check whether he is okay inside there. One of the guards speaks politely.
Okay, the second guard replied.
After some minutes, he came out looking worried. What was the problem, the first guard asked.
I couldn't find him. He replied.
What do you mean by you can't find him? Nobody has come here, so where is he? I asked my fellow guard.
I don't know. He replied.
Then, let's find him now before the queen finds out. I said before we began searching for Chang, we searched for him for many hours, but we couldn't see him.
I am tired, It is high time we let Queen Xie know that he is missing. He suggested.
That is a good idea. Let's go. I said to him before heading to the palace.
Good day, my Queen. We greeted.
Good day, why are you guys here? You should be at the cave. What happened? She asked but there was silence.
Can someone explain to me what is going on before I lose it?
The guy is missing. We replied.
Which guy? Wait, do you mean Chang?
Yes, he is missing. We replied
What!!?
