It opens to a moving sea, a school of fish swimming then a Mosasaurus swimming far back.
"As if many tales another starts" a female voice in the dark.
Starts with a rough recap from (Slayer Ruby & Chelsea)
"Month ago start with Ruby Gillman outcast of Oceanside high"
flashes of the past shows Ruby running to look for Connor.
Meets with the new girl.
"We have not met," she said "I'm Chelsea, Chelsea Van Der Zee and you are?".
"I'm Ruby Gillman" Ruby replies nervously "I'm a Ceacalia"
Hissing roar.
"Until when the hydra attacked"
The hydra at the school yard hissing roar with rage.
"Ruby in truth was a Giant Kraken, fled".
Ruby hidding at the ruined lighthouse, Agatha calming her down, then of them in a car escape the demons last was the drake bursting out, breathing fire.
"Fear grow in the young giant kraken, soon enough befriended a girl who is a demon" the female voice.
"You told me I never had to worry about demons, yet one appears at my school" Ruby saying this to her mother with upset and anger.
Then shows a mermaid.
"Chelsea who is leader of the Mers, a group of merfolk lead by Chelsea who is the queen"
Then shows Merfolk from mermaid, siren, Sirena, Mami Wata, Chernava, Merrow, Nixie, Melusine.
"The two set out on a quest to find the Trident of Oceanus"
Shows the Trident
"The quest tests them both until darkness strikes, nearly cause the two to fight"
the battle at oceanside, giant kraken ruby fighting the dragon-mermaid Chelsea.
"In the end Ruby had to destory the trident to save all she loves and her best friend"
Next shows Ruby and Chelsea at the school yard over watching the sea.
"Even now Ruby seen as a hero'
Prom Night Ruby in a dress dancing with Connor.
"But darkness still grows"
Ruby with her friends, Connor, Margot, Bliss and Trevin walking then Brill appaers.
"Ruby" Brill said as he stops "A Devil whale has been spotted and is headed straight for the kraken kingdom!" pionts his finger.
Ruby running up the pier then dives into the sea, into a Giant Kraken and goes off.
The dark water then a flash, a creature is moving fast, the shape of a whale.
Then a shot of it's red eye, narrow with rage, shape teeth at it's jaws.
Not far back a glowing creature it's Ruby in Giant Kraken form at high speed.
Ruby sees the demon.
That is the demon her uncle spoke of.
Far back the demon roars with rage as it swims fast.
Ruby thought as she swims fast to keep up with the demon.
"Devil Whale".
The demon is larger then a sperm whale and Livyatan, the demon looks similar to both whale species, but this one looks monstrous, it's jaws full of teeth some sharper not seem in whales.
I't black with white underside, with stripes on the tail and far back, it's head has dark red patches.
Looks longer then a hydra, like the one that attacked the school a month ago.
"Oh NO!"
Brill was right it is heading for the kraken kingdom, not far she sees the kingdom, it was clear the Devil whale is heading for that kingdom.
Ruby keeps going as fast as she can, her body glows in the dark.
The Devil whale roars again as it keeps going, it's snarls still it's red eyes not of nature.
Ruby gets an idea then fires her leser beam but it's lightning.
It hits the Devil whale taken 5 damage, the demon stops for a bit turns it's head unlike whales they can turn their heads around.
It sees Ruby Gillman, narrow it's red eyes.
Ruby ready herself for the fight, fists gripping.
The devil whale sneld at her, then turns it's head and swims to the kingdom.
"What?" Ruby thought "oh come on!".
Ruby goes after it.
Why did not fight me? the second it looked at me? there was no time to look for that answer, one thing is clear the demon is still going after the kingdom.
It roars again.
Kraken kingdom
Inside the kingdom all hear the roar.
Then the demon gets in.
"Devil whale!" a female Ceacalia yells up in horror.
As the demon roars going to attack but then.
Ruby comes in.
"STOP!!".
The Devil whale turns it's head and looked like this giant kraken again!, before looked mad.
Ruby arrives.
"HA!!" Ruby yells to get it's attraction.
But the demon goes not take the bait.
It goes though the tunnel at high speeds, Ruby not far behind it.
The mad demon roars, it's raor echo though the kingdom.
It enters the throne room then roars again making it's people flee.
Not far a Teenage Ceacalia female see the demon as she flees.
Just then Ruby enters sees a Ceacalia about to be attacked by the demon.
"HA!" then her eyes glow then fire a lightning beam at the demon, this time it turns, snarls at Ruby.
Ruby realies she might gone a bit to far.
The demon charges at her snap it's jaws.
Ruby turns to leave to lead the demon away.
Though the tunnels then leads to a massive open area, an arena.
Ruby turns around as the demon comes in it stops to roar.
"Ok Ruby you got this"
Devil whales have High HP and weak to lightning magic, its starts would be.
Devil whale
(130/140)
But it lose 10 on the way here, so it's 130 left.
The demon charges with open jaws to snap.
Ruby sweeping her arms covered in lightning, each hit does 3 damage on the demon, it then tail sweep right then rams it's head at Ruby.
She fires lightning beams three times hiting the mad demon as it spins around, then snapping its' massive jaws many times at once as if mad with rage.
At another chamber Emerald hears this and smiles.
"You have answered the call" she said "lets see what you are made of".
Oceanside
Agatha was driving home after seening her friends and their baby.
Heading back to town.
It's only days since the battle of Oceanside, attacked by a mermaid, Chelsea once disguise as a human and been friends with Ruby, then push to madness, used the Trident of Oceanus into Atargatis, the mermaid came to Oceanside looking for Agatha herself and about to turn the demon's rage on the humans, Agatha thinks of that night, the rage of Chelsea, her daughter had to fight the mad mermaid, destoryed the trident, stand up to Emerlad to protect that demon.
Agatha looks down with sorrow still regrets not listen to Ruby or even help her own that Quest, the more she thought of the words the more Ruby was right a darkess is all around them right infront of them, demonic activity has risen even more and reports of dangous demons about, this morning a Manticore and a Gorgon was on the road.
As she drives put the phone on to call Ruby.
The phone rings but no answer.
"Come on Ruby pick up" Agatha said in a low voice.
Is Ruby still mad, this morning she was in high spirit dispite the news of demons on the rise.
"Ok Agatha youi got this and all be fine"
Then sees Brill.
"Brill" stops the car.
Brill stops.
"Hi sis" Brill snap.
"You ok brother?" she gets out of the car.
"Well kinda of just got word of a devil whale was heading for the kraken kingdom"
Agatha shakes her head.
"Let mother handle that one"
Brill looked nerves.
"Mother can handle this on her own and she has a army to deal with it"
"About that I, told Ruby of this"
"What?"
Kraken kingdom
Ruby still fighting the Devil Whale, as she tries to avoid it's jaws, she got hit many times and trying to heal herself.
Slams it's heaad though a training pilar, as it snap it's jaws at her, she fires lightning beams at it as it charges full speed, she ducks as it tail spins.
Ruby them sweeping her lightning covered arms at the demon, as it rams it's massive head.
Ruby sees lightning weapons, turns normal form.
"Still got it" then sees the devil whale coming at her with rage.
Ducks grabs a lightning spear, slashing x5 it five times each does three damage as she knows it's weak to lightning magic.
It the roar blast sending her flying to a wall, then moves out it time as it rams it's head at her.
Ruby slashing fast as she could turn swims right then slams the spear at it then uppercuts three times then send burst of lightning at the enraged demon.
The devil whale rams Ruby send her on the arena platform then slams it's body around, Ruby does her best to dodge the attacks, slashing five times then uppercuts three times as it roars.
Ruby fires her lightning lesers at the demon.
She knows it's getting low HP not long if she can still alive long enough.
As the demon's red eye narrow at her then slams around as it snap it's jaws side to side then forward, she swims up slashing x5 then uppercuts three times as it slams it's belly then gets it's head upder her then sends her flying above.
Ruby looks down to see the Devil whale comming up to her.
It swims up at high speeds, Ruby moves out as it snaps it's jaws, Ruby moves near the eye of the demon as it swims up, turns then roars.
Ruby swims up then fires lesser lightning beams hiting the demon at the heaad, then moves right used the spear to send lightning at it, only 5 HP left the demon more rage mode as it snapping its jaws in it's madness, Ruby dopges then fires lesser beams.
All it's HP gone it raors.
Ruby's mind of the devil whale to her horror turns to the whale she saved as a child.
She looks with horror.
The Devil whale is slain, as it dead starts to turn purple all of it's massive body, then slowly fading away.
Demons are creatures of magic, they are not flesh, when slain, their bodies fades away.
Ruby looks of sorrow and thinks why did you come here?
"Ruby"
Ruby turns back to Giant form as she turns and see her grandmother looking proud.
"You took down the Devil whale all on your own" Emerald said comming to her then stops "I knew the art of demon slaying was in you all alone"
Ruby looks around.
"Well about that-"
"Come" gets her arm on Ruby "lets tell all the demon is slain".
In not long in the main hall.
"People of the kingdom the dreaded Devil Whale is slain!"
Cheers rose.
Ruby did not feel for it.
"Ruby my heir and hero" Emerald said proudly "I did told all a Giant kraken answers the call and Ruby just did to slay the evil monster".
Evil?, monster? demons not evil nor is the Devil Whale!, Ruby thought in her mind.
"Lets cebrat, for her hero's welcome and-".
"Look grandmother".
"Grandma'mah'" Emerald reminded her.
Ruby did not have time for this and still not ok with her, not after she tried to kill her best friend.
"I just came to stop it from harming people after Brill told me"
"I see, Glad to know Brill still cares for the kingdom" Emerald turns to Ruby "why don't you stay and-".
"It's still no, I still refused this" Ruby said standing up for herself "Not after what happned, Beside I need to get home".
Ruby turns to leave.
"Remeber Ruby"
Ruby stops.
"That so call friend is a danger to the family and anyone that is not a demon" Emerald said with narrow eyes "it will kill those humans and your own people"
Ruby knew she would do this, then leaves with out a word.
Once out and heading home.
Ruby wanted to rant.
"That witch the nerve to speak of my friend, the nerve to call me hero not after what she done!" Ruby rants as she swims.
She swims fast.
Ruby thinks of that night when she left the kingdom and thought why did I not listen to Chelsea.
"Chelsea"
Looks of sorrow, she did not see the mermaid for days sence the schoolyard, when she try to apologise and get back her mermaid friend.
More she thinks wonder about Chelsea.
Oeceanside
Ruby returns to the city at the dock.
"Ruby"
Ruby turns and see her friends.
"Yes, you return from the deep" Margot said.
"How did the fight go?" Trevin asked.
"With the devil whale" Bliss asked.
"Well I attacked the kingdom and I slain it"
"You slain a demon?"
Ruby nods yes.
"Wow" Margot said gets her arm around Ruby "Great job".
Ruby's phone raings and sees it's her mom, send a message
"I got to go it's mom she wants me back home".
"We undersand we see you later" Margot smiles.
Ruby leaves.
Gillman house
Ruby returns home it soon be sunset in an hour or two.
Opens the door and enters the house.
"Brill what where you thinking?" Agatha's voice "telling Ruby of this".
Ruby walks slowly.
"I was panic after I heard from the elves of a devil whale and it was going to attack" Brill's voice.
Ruby sees them in the front room.
"Ruby is putting herself in harms way" Agatha with cross arms.
"I was going to asked you, but i knew you where going to refused, our people would going to be attacked"
"Our people, do they call me traitor?"
Brill bad a lying.
"I know what mom did, but I still worry for our people and Ruby is powerful".
"Yes, but she nearly got killed days ago" Agatha snaps "By the mermaid".
"Mom"
Agatha turns and sees Ruby standing their.
"Ruby" Agatha steps closer with relief.
Brill smiles.
"You ok?" Brill asked "and how did the fight go?" his eyes looked at Agatha seening his sister narrow her eyes at him.
"I'm ok and well the devil whale is slain".
"Slain!" both said at once.
"Did you-" Agatha starts.
"I slain it".
"You slay the devil whale by yourself?"
Agatha knew Ruby was not lying.
"What for her?" Agatha asked as she has a nasty feeling her mother would try again.
"I still refused her offer"
Agatha knew she would refused.
"She call me hero and wanted me there" Ruby said with disguise "after what she try to do?" Ruby grips her fists in anger.
Both Agatha and Brill knew Ruby grow to hate her after she try to kill Chelsea.
Just then Arthur and Sam appaers as they come in the house.
Sam with his ball in hand jumps up and down with joy.
"Hi Tadpole" Arthur said.
Agatha and Ruby glace each other.
While later after Ruby told as much she can remember of the fight with the Devil whale.
"Wow" Arthur thought in shocked.
"And you slain it?" Sam asked he knew his sister is telling the truth.
Arthur looked at Brill then back to Ruby.
"It's very clear she is still trying to get me on her side" Ruby nearly rants.
"But you refused again" Agatha tries to cheer her up.
"That takes a lot of will power to refused a queen like that" Arthur agrees "You did the right thing".
"You slain a demon" Sam said.
Ruby looks away.
"Ruby?" Agatha asked knows that look.
"Is just when I first fire the leser beams at it, it looks at me then just keeps going to the kingdom" Ruby looks at Agatha "why?".
"I'm not sure as demons when hit normaly turn around and fight back" Agatha thinks of this.
"It was only inside the kingdom when I did it again this time attacks me" Ruby said thinking of the fight "it's like it had somthing in mind, there was some form of plan".
"Mom had made a lot of enemies and she is know to make demons angry" Brill said.
"It's like it was after grandmother, but whne it went it try to attack our kind the fury in it's eyes" Ruby thinks of the school "like the hydra"
The family glace each other in shock then back to Ruby.
"The hydra knew I was a giant kraken and after I ran, it went after me" Ruby shakens at that thought "the rage is the same rage I saw on the Devil Whale".
"Demons are closer by the day and getting bolder in their attacks" Agatha said "maybe the Devil whale saw somthing and made it mad, demons are creatures of rage. but they are smart, they can make plans and most demons avoid towns, becuase they know the risks".
"Hay like in that war, demons try to gather information in battle to used against us" Brill said looking at his sister and Arthur.
Ruby looks down.
"This time I killed a attacking demon" Ruby looks worried "what is Chelsea going to say?".
"I'm sure the mermaid will understand" Arthur said "there is nothing wrong in trying to protect or defened yourself, all animals do it and many people as the realms are dangerous places" he place his hand on her shoulder.
"The mermaid will understand" Agatha said still shocked Ruby is friends with one.
"Grandmother said she is a danger to my family and friends"
"That is her trying to get you on her side, I will not lie that demons are dangerous" Agatha said.
"When we first meet your friend, first appaer in front of the boat then jumps on the front, at first we thought was going to attack us, insteaad Chelsea asked about you" Arthur said looking at Sam and Brill.
"Ah I thought the mermaid was going to attack and yet yelled at us and asked where are you" Brill nods "Ya that scared me a lot".
"After Chelsea left to get the other" Sam said "when me, dad and uncle got to Gordon ie was using the glowing weapons".
"Brine" Arthur said to his son.
"oh ya the brine weapons to lure in demons those mermaids"
"Those are not mermaids Sam" Arathur said.
"They look like mermaids".
"You see like many dragonkin some species have the same body shape only a few different" Agatha said to her son.
Ruby nods it still many humans get things wrong about merfolk and dragonkin like for one most mistaken a drake for a dragon, or a Siren for a mermaid, and sometime say a mermaid for a siren.
"What of the siren there two names with the same name?" Sam asked.
"Yes one is more harpy like and the other looks like a mermaid" Agatha knows this too well.
Ruby kows this too, two names with the same name, a few other species have somthing like that too.
Then sees a photo of a whale, in her mind changes to the devil whale.
Her mind flash as a child saving a whale on a beach then changes to her battle agains the Devil whale, then it's last moments as it's final roar as it dies, then turing purple and fading away.
"Ruby?"
"When you slay a demon do have a feeling of glory or somthing else".
"The truth is yes, when I was younger I saw them as evil monsters".
"That is what the kingdom sees them as evil" Brill said.
"But much later I saw there is more to them" Agatha shakes her head "they not evil, just creatures of rage".
"When the Devil Whale did it's final roar I saw Clarence J. Whifferton".
"Oh" Agatha looks oh dear "yes that, when I thought a Lamia I saw a young girl, i know the feeling but the difference is that you done it to protect not for glory, when I battle demons now is to protect, defence and only those that are a threat, never out indulgence or hate".
"Out of necessity?"
"Yes, I'm very proud you see the difference" Agatha smiles "and a good thing your friend teched your of your powers".
"Chelsea told me during training she said it's not only to ge the tridnet".
Days before the battle of Oceanside.
Ruby in her normal form with Chelsea in the woods near the city.
Red hair moving, and tail, all mermaids nude, even bear breasts.
"Ruby can i asked you" Chelsea said as the mermaid turns around to Ruby.
"Sure".
"You know why I been training you right?" the demon asked.
"To ge the trident" Ruby replies.
"That is second reason the main reason is because this realm is a dangerous place" Chelsea said "your a giant kraken, while humans and beasts can't harm you the other demons can, and will try and kill you, even my own species and ilk will".
Ruby nods.
"I training you so you can defended yourself, I not always going to be here and if other mermaids find you they might try and kill you"
"It's shame we can't make peace".
"Ruby it's like trying to make peace with fire it burns" Chelsea cocks it's head "We demons kill because it's our nature as demons".
"I see, I'm very greatful what you did for me" Ruby smiles "I understand, I'm only going to fight to protect, defend not for glory"
Chelsea looked pleased.
Ruby looks at her mother.
"The mermaid trained you well" Agatha pats her on the back.
"Trained by a mermaid that is so cool" Sam smiles at his big sister aka his hero "Chelsea is so cool".
"Ya, she's my best friend" Ruby smiles "I hope Chelsea is ok out there".
Ruby after leave for her room, enters and sees on her desk aredrawings.
She picks up the newest a large one shows drawing of Chelsea.
Ruby looks where her doll is.
Oceanside wilds
At the forest and plains of Oceanside.
Many rivers.
One of the riches lands in the realm full of life.
Birds flying in the air.
Mass herd of Edmontosaurus anncetens on the move with a few Alamosaurus with them as all around are other animals.
Small heard of Stegosaurus feeding at thr right with them are wild horses.
An Ankylosaurus feeding near the moving herd of edmonotosaurus.
Small herd of bush elephants feeding with tricertaops prorsus, a calf playing under the legs of her mother, as two elephants and a triceratops are drinking at the river with an Alamosaurus who is drinking between them.
At the otherside of the river a female brown bear with her three cubs are on the move, as one cub stops and looks up at a Alamosaurus who dwarves it, as if a moving mountain, under it's feet are red deer coming to drink.
The river leads to the sea, at the banks leads to the sea, a head with a very long neck rises up.
Tanystropheus a archosaur reptile 20 feet long most of it's body is neck.
At the banks are Elorhynchus, part of a group fo planet eating reptiles called rhynchosaurs feeding on plants.
As sea birds fly above them.
On the beach are sea lions and elephant seals.
As a near by Luperosuchus walks pass while avoidng the larger elephant seals.
But deep in the forest north from the city is a diffrent story.
Northen Oceanside forest
Is dark as it soon be night, for some humnas it be walking into horror overgrown forest full of nightmares.
Something is moving, a tail, scales, fins, a hand, hair as it is moving then stood next to a skeleton of a beast, parts covered in flowers.
Yanbeilong skeleton.
The creature near the bones is not of nature, but of magic, not of the mortal world.
A demon, a mermaid is on the move heading though the the forest.
Just then three humanoid demons massive in size.
Giants, they stood with the trees.
Above are half womna half birds.
Harpies.
For the past days demonic activity is on the rise even more then past month.
The mermaid arrives to the spot.
There not far is another mermaid with it is a Minotaur and a Lamia.
"My queen our devil whale ally is slain" the mermaid said.
Only sees blond hair and darker shade tail.
"The one who did it was Ruby Gillman"
The blond mermaid turns it's head to the mermaid.
"Ruby" Grips it's fists, looks back at the mermaid "what of Chelsea?"
"Chelsea we belive is south west from the city"
The blond mermaid nods
"Very soon we have more allies in time and this one with it on our side"
It turns it's head south seeing the city.
Mer woods
West forest now called Mer woods by the elves after the battle of Oceanside and is restricted zone, high demons and home to the Mers, most humans are not allowed.
A car passes as the edge is a camp an elven camp.
Elf rangers, sorceesses and others are there to make sure and keep eye on demons.
One elf ranger calls on her phone.
"Agatha, so you know the cmap is all up and running" the elf said.
"Good we do not want what happened, Gordon's followers did, throw bombs in the mer lair" Agatha's voice.
"Yes and what of Gordon lighthouse?"
"He is still in prison".
"For how long?" the elf asked "he has too many followers and supporters, we believe he be out of jail soon".
"I will not denied that truth".
"And your mother, we both know her too well and her betrayel 15 years ago, she went behind our back and attacked the Mermaid kingdom so is to say she will not try attack again with the Mer Lair?".
"Ruby and I talked about it and it's why we have a camp near the Mer woods".
Gillman house
Agatha on the phone, as Arthur reading dinner cooked fish and cooked sea plants, Brill is with Sam watching TV.
"I plan to see camp myself tomorrow"
Ruby is comming down stairs then see her mom finishing her phone call.
Before Ruby was going to asked then.
"Demonic activity is on the rose even more, reports comming since the battle".
The tv news show footage of A mermaid looks of a dragon fighting Ruby that night.
"The elves say is the effects of the battle that start more of the rise".
Then footage shows a Fomorian on the road with a Troll, both roaring.
"Only getting worst"
Next footage of a Drake and Cyclops at open field.
Ruyb watches and gets worried.
"As for Gordon Lighthouse many as asking for his release from prison"
"What?" Sam said "after what he did to us!"
Sam's anger to the man is reasonable, he try to have Ruby Killed, lured in demons and nearly got the Mers to attack Oceanside.
Agatha shakes her head of this news.
"It's been days sence the mermaid once know as the new girl"
The image of Chelsea as a human on tv.
"Chelsea van der zee"
Then footage of Chelsea been attacked by a brine weapon then the mist clears shows the real look.
"It turn out Chelsea was a mermaid, a demon"
Then footage who rising from the sea, a mermaid with looks of a dragon, holding the trident.
"Only to turn looking like a dragon"
Ruby looked with sorrow.
Agatha puts the plate down and looks at Ruby with sorrow, she still regrets on saying those words to her and what happend to Chelsea.
"The town would bing destroyed with was not for Ruby Gillman"
Footage of the battle Giant kraken ruby with Chelsea looking mermaid/dragon, the footage was taken from a guy filming this.
The family knew a lot of people where filming this as well most would have phones these days.
"Not only that it turn out other mermaids all from Chelsea lived at the woods west from the city, as now a elven camp is set up there"
Footage shows the elf camp.
"its a no go zone now, the elves call it Mer woods because of the merfolk there and is where Chelsea is, many of the city call her a monster, a villian".
Shows kids call curse Chelsea's name.
Ruby gripping her fists of this.
Agatha was about to say not listen to it, but then.
"I'm joined by the leader of the force" the reporter said the same one that spoke with Gordon.
Next to the human is the elf.
"Hay that is your boss" Brill said looking at the tv saying it to Agatha.
The elf had blond hair and ranger suit with a logo of the vanguard the group Agatha is part of.
"So Silvana" the repoter starts to asked "what you think of the events and the mermaid?"
"Now the mermaid Chelsea is not just any mermaid, it's a Mermaid Queen" Silvana repiles "the events that happen, I want to make clear Chelsea is not evil, this mermaid is the most powerful demon around that is not a dragon, as for Gordon his followers attacked the mer lair to anger the merfolk".
"Merfolk?"
"Group of demons, diffrent species similar to mermaids like Sirens, Sirenas, Mami Watas, Merrows and others"
"One question many had saying is Chelsea, Queen Nerissa from 15 years ago?"
Ruby wating what?.
"No Chelsea is not Nerissa we get that question a lot, Queen Nerissa was slain" Silavan puts her hands on her hips looking annoyed.
The reporter does not look confines.
”Still Nerissa"
Silvana glace at her rangrs who looked back at their boss like can we?, she nods to them, yes, in a second they move the repoter away, Silvana turns to the camera.
"This area is restricted" Silvana said to the camera "full of demons and Merfolk, do not go in"
Brill moves back a bit.
"She made it very clear" Brill said then leans closer to Ruby "That Chelsea is not Nerissa, the mermaid queen is dead"
Agatha looks worried.
"I can't believe that rumor"
Ruby looks with sorrow.
"Ruby?" Agatha then went to sit with her.
"I should never have betrayed my friend".
"Ruby you did see it coming" Agatha place her hand on her back.
"I kept her in the dark, I should have told her Gordon and his followers knew who she was and about the she was being hunted!"
Agatha nods.
"I know" Agatha tires to cheer her up "You did go there and apologise, I'm sure Chelsea is ok, she's a demon and might be the most powerful demon here, Mermaid queens are very powerful".
"Ya and you seen one up close"
"Yes Nerissa, the mermaid queen was a power house even before she got the trident of Oceanus" Agatha looks away "really powerful, to the piont she nearly killed me that night"
Ruby wanted to asked her about the battle of the trident, but choses not to, it's been days since the battle and the last thing she wanted was to break peace between her and her mother,
"Hope so"
Mer woods
Just west from the city once simply called forest now renamed as Mer woods because it's now home to one of the mightist demons in the realm.
In the air are harpies, gargoyles, sirens (those look similar to harpies and not the ones look like mermaids), Sirins, Alkonosts, Gamayuns, striexs many flying above.
Below them are many other demons about.
Chimeras, Manticores, Cyclopes
Near a running river are Lizardmen, Asp and Abas about.
Light shadows as soon be dark.
There is the enterns to the Mer lair.
Many sounds about inside the lair.

At the other side one Mermaid stands out from the rest of the mermaids.
As the other merfolk do there thing, one was just looking at the wall.
This one has red hair.
Chelsea the Mermaid Queen
The Queen looks at the wall.
On the wall is somthing that got the Queen's eye.
Up there is an old art with a glowing chest.
The Dragon
Not just any dragon but an Alpha, last time an Alpha was here was 15 years ago.
Chelsea remeber the day the dragon came to the mermaid kingdom, took out many of Emerald's followers, it took all the Merfolk with it including Chelsea that night, before it chose to spare the Siren Slayer.
The days before still felt fresh.
"My Queen"
Chelsea turn's it's head to one of the new members of the Mers.
A Sirena, like all Sirenas have Black hair that is long.
"Ruby Gillman has slain the Devil whale that attacked the Kraken Kingdom" the Sirena said.
Chelsea nods, the queen heard of a devil whale was about and so far was one and had a feeling Ruby would fight it, but why was it at the kraken kingdom of all places?, was it attacking? must be, if Ruby was there meaning that tyrant would try again to get Ruby on that monster's side!.
"Not only that more demons are on the rise from the north, inclduing other merfolk"
Chelsea knew this would happen.
"Thank you" Chelsea said as the two rub their cheeks on each other, the sirena jumps into the pool.
Chelsea turns back to the wall where the dragon art is, the Queen was inform daily as more Merfolk had joined the mers and still kept going after the Battle of Oceanside.
Just then a merfolk comes moving in the lair, fast this one is not a mermaid, but a species that just joined the mers after the battle of Oceanside.
A Jiaoren.
White as snow, flowing hair with colorful highlights, black and reddihs tails, tear marks on the face and like all merfolk they are nude, as in no cloth at all, their chest, breasts are bear, and they don't care like all demons.
It leaps from side to side then slids near the pool pasting the other merfolk like mermaids, sirens, mami watas, chernavas, nixies and Merrows.
Unlike them this species has fire powers it's know their tears are oil like and burst into flames when unleashed.
To elves it would remind one of catoblepas, but unlike those large demons Jiaoren does fire, then at last the Jiaoeren stops near the Queen.
Chelsea gets up and heads to the Jiaoren, it looks like it has news to share with the queen.
“My Queen” the Jiaoren said stands back up at full hight “at the bolder the elves set up a camp and more merfolk coming from the north, not only that those humans want Gordon out and they are against us”
Chelsea grips its fists with anger.
”The cursed human!” Chelsea said with anger “and those of the city against me even after they seen what monster!”
A few merfolk went to their Queen.
”What is your command?, my Queen” One Siren asked, like let us have them.
“If you see any of Gordon’s followers in our area kill them” Chelsea said to them.
”It be done” a Merrow said who holds it’s weapon “My Queen”
”And any merfolk 🧜🏻♀️ that comes here by free will if they want can see me”.
”Yes my Queen” a Sedna said then it with same merfolk start to leave.
”If those humans ever dare come here again” the mermaid’s rage boils down to “thoses cowards ever dare attack me or the mers, anyone dares will DIE” it roars.
It rachis all the way out of the new mermaid kingdom, all the way to the elf camp.
The leader hears this and knows.
All the elves heard this roar.
“Chelsea” the leader said.
