"They're the ones we're talking about! They saved us from the immortal world, they saved us from the dark siren queen," the man said.
"Ms. Red, it's us, Shantel, Lantel, Al, and Knight. We're the ones you saved along with the Ice Prince, Prince Yimin!" he said.
"Ahhhh, it's you. So, you live here," Crimson said.
"Ms. Blue, how are you?" Lantel asked.
"Just fine," she replied.
"Ms. Yellow, can we touch you now?" Al asked.
"Yes, you can," I said.
"Waaaaahh! Yes! Finally!" Lantel and Shantel shouted as they suddenly hugged us.
They quickly let go when we could barely breathe.
"Wait, umm, is it okay if I interrupt... what do you mean?" Prince Ander asked.
"In the immortal world, we were imprisoned for five years in the dark siren queen's palace with Prince Yimin and Prince Yidel of the Ice Kingdom... and one day Ms. Blue came and helped the captives, including us. She killed the dark siren queen, freeing us from her control," Shantel happily recounted.
"And about not being able to touch you?" Spade asked.
"At that time, if we touched Ms. Yellow, we would get electrocuted, and if we touched Ms. Red, we would get burned," Al explained.
"And also the three of them were forbidden to touch each other," Knight added.
"Yeah, uhmm, we're okay now," I said.
"Umm, Ms. Yellow, can Knight hug you?" Al asked, nudging Knight.
"A-what? I-I didn't say anything," Knight stammered.
I chuckled softly.
"I'm not the one who will approach," I said.
He slowly swam towards me and hugged me. He quickly let go.
"Uhm, thanks again," he whispered, then returned to Al's side, who teased him.
"Hahaha! You guys are cute. By the way, these are our cousins, Aquadon, Aquader, and Aquver... and our friends Yura and Dalliz," Prince Aqua said.
"Hi!" they said.
"These are the triplets: Red, Blue, and Yellow, the princes of the Firisian Light Kingdom: Prince Poltair, Prince Xander, and Prince Ander," Prince Aqill introduced.
"And the band members: Ace, Kurt, Spade, Cheska, Cuesha, and Dia," Prince Aqie added.
"Uhmm, are these dolphins with you?" Yura asked.
"My guardian, Bluperrin... Red Guardian Rodexia and Yellow Guardian Ychesia," Xian said.
Rodexia circled us happily and swam around.
"Hahaha! They're happy," Yura said.
We just nodded.
But their three cousins, Aquadon, were quiet, the opposite of the eight princes' personalities.
Then I noticed tentacles wrapping around me.
Wait, octopus tentacles?
I was about to be grabbed, so I did a backflip in the water.
I followed where it came from.
There was indeed a giant octopus.
"AAAHH! THERE'S AN OCTOPUS!!" Dia screamed.
I was about to approach the octopus when Xian teleported behind it and slapped it with his tail, sending it flying.
BLLAAAAGGG
Xian then teleported back to my side.
"WHOA! THAT'S OUR FRIEND!" Yura and the princes shouted.
"Ouch! That hurt," the octopus groaned.
They helped the large octopus, which was bigger than a person.
"Wow! You're strong, Blue, you knocked down Octopena... and you can teleport," Al said.
"Tsk. How would I know it's your friend," Xian muttered.
"WHHOOOAAAA!"
"AAAHH! WHAT IS THAT?!"
"What the hell?!" I exclaimed.
Something sharp was suddenly flying towards us.
Only Xian, Crimson, and I were targeted.
I swam away, but it followed.
Sharp objects were in front of us, ready to strike.
"Who did this?!" Crimson yelled.
"The hell! I'll return this to them!" Xian said.
"Wait! Let me handle it," I said.
The sharp objects rushed at us, so I hit them with my tail, sending them flying away.
My tail moves like a shield.
Hahaha! This is fun; it's like I'm dancing in the water.
"Cool dancing," Xian and Crimson said.
I laughed as a sharp object was about to hit my chest.
Crimson caught it with his fingers.
"Tss... this is different, huh, a fight to the death?" Crimson sneered.
Xian glanced around and his gaze stopped at a dark part.
All the sharp objects went to the dark part, controlled by Xian, I guess.
"Not bad," said a man and a woman emerging from the darkness.
The sharp objects disappeared.
"Ayheno"
"Yedalyn," I heard the eight princes and Yura say.
We were surprised when Ayheno teleported in front of Xian.
Xian teleported behind Ayheno.
They kept teleporting until Ayheno grabbed Xian's arm.
"You're good... willing to be mine?"
Cough cough
WHAT?!
Xian just looked at him coldly, and we were surprised when Xian turned into a bubble and disappeared.
"Hala, Blue!!!" Dia screamed.
"What did you do to Blue?!" Kurt demanded.
"What? I didn't do anything," Ayheno said.
"Tss." We turned to see Xian sitting at the dining table, eating chocolate.
"What's wrong with you guys? I've been here the whole time," she said while eating chocolate.
"Xian, that's your clone, right?" Crimson said.
"Hahaha! It's funny you didn't notice," Xian said.
Wait, that's still a clone.
I saw a knife, so I threw it at Blue, hitting her chest, and she turned into a bubble and vanished.
"Waaaaa! You killed Blue!!" Cuesha screamed.
"No, it's just a clone... where's the real one?" I asked.
Then I saw two Xians again.
"Hey, Xian!!! Come out... why are these clones?" Crimson shouted, pulling the two Xians.
"Oops, you caught us," the two clones said, turning into bubbles.
We looked at the entrance as it opened, and Xian came out.
That's the real one.
"You figured it out quickly," he said, swimming towards us.
"Where have you been, leaving us with a clone?" I asked.
"So, since earlier, we've been with a clone?!" the three princes asked in shock.
"Ahh, yes, I was talking to the king, so I made a clone," Xian explained.
"YOU TALKED TO FATHER?!" the eight princes exclaimed.
"WHAT DID HE SAY?!" Prince Aqden demanded.
"That is for the both of us, secret," Xian said emotionlessly.
Xian swam in front of Ayheno, who was also emotionless.
"You can teleport too... and you can hypnotize anyone you touch if you want," Xian said.
Really? Nice!
Ayheno teleported behind Xian, held Xian's waist, whispered something, and moved away.
"You're good... you weren't hypnotized," Ayheno said.
"We're not affected by your hypnotism," Crimson said.
I looked at the one they called Yedalyn.
I saw her secretly releasing green water.
Based on the info, anyone touched by the green water would be paralyzed.
"Move away!" I shouted.
Yedalyn was surprised.
Using my speed ability, I was behind Yedalyn, lifting her hand so she couldn't release the green water.
The green water disappeared.
"Sharp eye," Yedalyn said with a grin.
She faced me and was about to throw green water.
I quickly slapped her hand with my tail, making it disappear.
I was puzzled when she vanished from my sight, but I could sense her presence in front of me.
I dodged as she was about to hit me with her tail, even though I couldn't see her.
I quickly swam to Crimson.
"Haha! She's turning invisible," Crimson whispered.
"Unfair... you're turning invisible," I said.
I closed my eyes, and when I opened them, my eyes were probably green.
Xian and Crimson did the same.
"Where is she?!" Ace asked.
"Invisible? That means she's around," Dia said.
"Hey, Yedalyn, they're guests!" Yura shouted.
"Show yourself, don't be invisible... they're not enemies," Prince Aquazer said.
They looked at us.
"Why are your eyes green?" Knight asked.
We looked at Yedalyn, who was beside Prince Ander.
"Hey Yedalyn, do you like Prince Ander?" I teasingly asked.
Prince Ander moved away and looked beside him.
Yedalyn was surprised and looked at us.
"You can see her?" Prince Aqie asked.
"Isn't it obvious?" Crimson said.
Yedalyn grinned and showed herself, making my eyes return to gold.
"Ayheno... Looks like we have a match," Yedalyn said.
"The hell I care," Ayheno replied.
"Stop it! Ayheno, Yedalyn, they're friends," Prince Aqmin said.
"No, it's fine... we're used to being treated as enemies," I said.
"That's why they treat us as enemies," Xian said, pointing to Dia and the others.
Dia and the others looked down.
"We're sorry..." they said.
"Sorry for underestimating you," Ace said.
"Why didn't you tell us you're strong? Now everyone thinks you're weak because you have no powers," Prince Xander said.
We didn't answer.
They looked at us sadly, seemingly regretting their actions.
We sighed deeply.
"Okay, stop that pity face... it's fine," Crimson said.
