We were surprised when our appearance suddenly changed.
"WHOA!"
"Wait, what happened to you?!"
"AAAHH! WHY DO YOU LOOK SCARY?!"
Huh? I looked at Xian and the others.
Why did our hair turn gray?! And we were wearing the masks we wore in the immortal world.
This is how we looked back then.
"What the hell?!" The three of us exclaimed.
I could also feel the presence we feared coming out.
So, they stepped back.
I looked at Cheska and the others.

(CUESHA's POV)
"What happened to them?!" I asked, trembling.
Their presence is terrifying.
They have masks, scars on their faces, and their hair has turned gray.
Their eyes are also frightening to look at.
"What happened to them?!" the 8 princes asked.
"So that's how you look in the immortal world, huh."
If that's the case, Ayheno must have brought out their appearance.
"Ayheno, what did you do?!" Shantel asked.
"Stop it, Ayheno!!" Prince Aqino said.
"What did I do? Well, I just revealed their immortal world appearance... look up."
We looked behind Blue, where images appeared.
Wait, that's them holding Bluperrin.
They look terrifying.
"I'm an air user, and I can take your breath away if I want to," Yellow said in the image.
0____0 I clung to Prince Ander because of what I heard.
I looked at Blue, who had a serious expression.
"Stop it now," I trembled when I heard Xian's frightening voice.
I almost turned pale.
They did too.
"So, you're feared in the immortal world... because of your scary appearance, presence, eyes, and the fact that you've killed," Yedalyn said with a grin.
Another image appeared... like a slideshow...
(Looks like a video in the mortal world... author said)
The three of them were walking, and students were moving aside, almost fainting.
Then someone blocked their way and challenged them.
"Hey X, you think you can scare us?!"
"No!!!"
"Do you know the consequences for what you're all doing?" Crimson asked in a frightening tone.
They didn't seem like themselves.
The person blocking them turned pale.
And Blue walked past them.
But we gasped when those who blocked their way turned to ashes.
I covered my mouth.
I saw their terrifying grins.
"Death is the consequence and also punishment," Blue said.
"You killed a lot of students... didn't you feel any remorse?" Ayheno asked.
"Why would we? We warned them, but they didn't listen. They deserved it anyway," Yellow said, widening my eyes.
"AAAAAHHH! FORGIVE US, MS. SHARLENE!!"
"DON'T, MS. X!!"
"PLEASE DON'T KILL US, MS. CRIMSON!"
We looked at the next image.
They were in the canteen while the students were in the corner, trembling in fear and begging.
I didn't know why, but I started crying out of fear.
I saw three students floating in front of them.
One seemed to be out of breath, one turned to soil and crumbled, while the other was deprived of water.
And the three of them turned to ashes and vanished into the air.
"Come near us... and you'll suffer the same fate," Blue's voice was really terrifying.
The students ran out of the canteen.
Only Blue and the others were left in the canteen.
I looked at Blue and the others.
They were looking seriously.
I wondered why they were trying to block the image.
"STOP IT NOW!!" Blue suddenly shouted.
"WHAT?! YOU KNOW TOO MUCH!! ENOUGH!!" Yellow yelled.
.
..
"I can't take it anymore."
We looked at the image where Yellow and Red were weakly sitting on the floor in the canteen.
While Blue was leaning on a table.
"X-Xian, let's stop this," I heard Yellow say in the image.
"If only, if only," Blue said in the image.
We were surprised when Crimson stood up in the image and touched Blue's shoulder.
BOOM!
And something exploded.
But why was Crimson thrown away?!
"Why did you touch me?! You know we're forbidden to touch each other," Blue snapped at him.
Red approached again, struggling and sitting on the floor.
"I'd rather they fear us than die if they touch us," Blue said in the image.
My eyes widened, and we gasped.
"Yeah, we're feared in the mortal world, and even here in the immortal world... where do we belong?!" Yellow yelled angrily in the image.
"So, you're pitiful," Yedalyn said with a grin.
I'm annoyed at that Yedalyn.
I was about to charge at her when Prince Ander held me back.
"Don't interfere," his face seemed to say.
"Does something bad have to happen to you before you stop?!" Crimson asked.
"Why, are you going to kill us too?! Like you did in the immortal world?!" Ayheno asked.
Blue and the others didn't answer when a new image appeared.
"YAY! WE CAN TOUCH EACH OTHER NOW!!"
Wait, this is the first time I've seen them this happy.
"Yes!! Finally, we don't have to be afraid anymore!" Crimson said.
They were really happy there.
We wondered why Blue and the others were grinning.
"How about that?! We changed the image," Yellow said.
"What?! How did you do that?!" Yedalyn asked.
"Calm down, Yedalyn... it's not over," Ayheno said with a grin, and the image changed.
What we saw in the image was
0_____0
GULP
CRIMSON WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES!!!
We were surprised when something exploded along with the image disappearing.
"Looks like you don't want them to see that, huh," Ayheno said.
Blue and the others returned to their normal appearance.
They were no longer scary.
They looked sad, and their eyes were full of sorrow.
We heard Blue sigh.
I didn't know why, but we stepped back when they approached us and stopped.

(XIAN's POV)
I could see the fear, anxiety, and shock on their faces.
I couldn't help but sigh.
I just swam upward.
Sharlene and Crimson did the same.
We left there.
"They're treating us differently again," Sharlene said sadly.
We just kept swimming away, but we could still see the city.
"Just when I was starting to enjoy life, this happened," Crimson said.
"Xian, don't you have anything to say?" Sharlene asked.
I just looked at the city and sighed.
"Nothing."
"What did the king tell you?" the two asked.
"Not much... the siren goddess talked to the king to let us stay here for half a day... to relax and enjoy," I said.
"Relax and enjoy?? That's impossible," Crimson said.
"I wonder what they think of us now??" Sharlene said.
"Murderers, bad, or monsters??" I asked.
We kept swimming.
We saw a siren girl trapped under a large rock at the tip of her tail.
So we approached her.
"Are you okay?" Sharlene asked.
"Help me, please," she said.
"Okay, I'll lift the rock... get out quickly," Sharlene said.
"Thank you," she replied.
Because Sharlene has super strength, she lifted the rock and pretended to struggle.
The siren successfully got away.
"Thanks again," the siren said with a smile and swam away.
We weren't with Bluperrin because they were still playing with their new friends.
We just wandered around.
We ended up in a dark chasm filled with leaves that looked like large snakes.
We swam above it.
"This place is creepy... maybe monsters live here," Sharlene said.
We just kept swimming.
While looking at those leaves.
We couldn't see the city anymore.
"Let's go back," Crimson said.
We started swimming back when something wrapped around our tails and pulled us down.
"AAAHH! D-damn!!" Sharlene exclaimed.
"AAAHH! W-what is this?!!" I said.
BLAAAAGGG!
We were pulled down and dropped.
We managed to compose ourselves.
The leaves were large, and it was dark.
They looked like standing snakes, but bigger than us.
Double our size.
"Where are we?" Crimson asked.
"What pulled us down?" I asked.
We looked up at where we were swimming earlier.
But we couldn't see anything because the leaves covered it.
We swam slowly and looked around.
"This is like a maze," Sharlene said.
"Don't use any powers; there might be monsters here that could use us," I said.
"Let's get out of here," Crimson said.
We swam upward, our eyes widening when we saw monsters and black merfolk above.
So we swam down and hid in the swirling leaves.
We breathed a sigh of relief when the monsters disappeared again.
"Who are you?"
"AAAAAAHHHHH!!" we screamed when someone spoke in our ears, and we swam away.
When we looked, it was a black male siren.
Oh no! Black!
We were about to swim away when two women and four men, all black sirens, blocked our way.
We huddled together.
"s**t! They're really black," Crimson said.
"Aren't we going to fight them?!" Sharlene asked.
"No, don't... don't show any powers or we'll be in more danger," I whispered to them.
They swam closer to us.
"Use our normal strength," I said, pulling out my favorite knife.
Sharlene got into a fighting position.
Crimson held a piece of wood.
There were five men and two women, all black.
They surrounded us.
I looked up and didn't see any monsters.
"Up there!" I told Crimson.
We swam upward, but something wrapped around my tail.
And I was slammed into the sand.
I looked at Crimson, who was netted, while Sharlene was wrapped in leaves.
0_0
My eyes widened when I looked up and saw a monster.
I was shocked when it grabbed me and was about to bite, but I hit it with my tail.
So, I was thrown.
I hit the hard leaves.
"XIAN, BEHIND YOU!!" Crimson and the others shouted.
"AAHH!"
