The Anti-Fairy Tales The Water Demon Arc Final Part

 Escape Demon Ocean

She was dragged further and further down. She tried to move but she could not. Yet her mind was filled with fury. Fury at how she was being exploited. Fury at her humiliation. Fury at her own stupidity. Fury at what Ursmor had said. Fury at what she suggested what she would do to Livea. Fury at her helplessness. Fury at the stranger who had pushed her overboard. Fury at the fact that none of this was her fault. She wanted to kill her. She wanted to do this with all her being.

She could feel the power of Wolfox rising and coursing within her. She could feel it moving through her like the blood in her vanes. She could feel it bearing within the breast of her heart. She felt what could be described as a strange dark joy rise within her. It flowed freely within her body. 

While descending with Ursmor clutching her throat. She could not move as she did. Yet as they sank lower and lower she could move her fingers. She could move her fin. She could feel the presence of Ursmor within her decrease. She could feel that it was being overwhelmed by this power. She could feel the psychological grip of this demon slip from her and she knew that she could freely move her body and the control that Ursmor completely fade away.

Then her have whipped up and gripped Ursmor's wrist. She felt another power rise within her and her muscles became stronger and she crushed the wrist. She screamed out of shock and let go of her. She looked up at her, completely outraged. Her wrist was disfigured and already turning blue. She looked back at it and back at her.

Pheoshan swam to her and in her hands was a smaller version of Wolfox's. She went to swing to slash her gut but she waved her game and a strong current drove her away. She then went to swim back at her. She then summoned another current to slow the girl down, but she saw still coming at her. She increased the power of the current which drove her back.

"Get away from me!"

Yet this soon did nothing and Pheoshan turned diagonally to the left and then swam back up to her. Yet the temperature started to drop. She smirked as the became cooler and colder. Yet the girl was not affected however Ursmor became colder and colder. Then she started to shiver. Yet the temperature still dropped and then she spotted the ice. She used her power to direct the ice crystals at the girl. She then slashed them away from hey. She used the current to her again. She spanned it back yet some hit. Even though the cuts stung her they did not bother her whatsoever. No, she continued to drop the temperature further and further. Ursmor tried to use her power to five the cold water at her but the ice cold water seemed to not even bother her at all!

Knowing that she was going to have to change her tactics she caused a whirlpool around the girl. She was temporarily blinded by the bubbles and she swam to the girl and took out a trident. She then arched back as she drove it down and this was blocked by the weapon. She looked down and her eyes met those of the girls' that were like those of Wolfox.

"Where did you get that weapon from? How, how did you get that weapon?"

She shrugged as she pushed her away and then went to slice her neck but she swam down so it cut her lip. She then drove the weapon down and she hit the blade away and Pheoshan was able to use this to her advantage and threw out a punch right in her face. This told her that she could not be a girl of ordinary strength as she was driven away from her add a frighteningly fast pace. She used her power to stop herself from crashing into the coral beneath her. She looked to where the girl was and she saw that she was no longer there. She looked up to see the blade being thrust down. She just blocked the blade but not the power which drove her into the coral below.

She screamed out and saw Pheoshan smirking as she looked to the left. She loomed to where she was looking. To her horror, there were several sharks coming to them. She outstretched her hand to drive the sharks away. Yet they continued to come. She pushed the current to become stronger and stronger. Yet they continued to come closer and closer. Then the shark was finally pushed back. 

Then ice flung to her. She pushed it back. Then another set came. She flicked them away. Another came and she broke them apart. Then more came immediately after. She flicked it away and then another set just moments after. As she blocked the set she was suddenly hit by several ice shards. She was filled with anger and swam to her and wrapped her tentacles around her wrists and body. She turned her triton into a dagger.

"How dare you! How dare you do this to me, human! I own you!I own your soul!" She shouted as she slashed her in the tail and arms again and again. Pheoshan could feel her tentacles become tighter and tighter. She then let her go and immediately started whipping her again and again. "And there you are! Trying to feed me to a group of sharks? Maybe I can return the favour."

She let out a cathartic laugh then she went to wrap her tentacles around her but for some reason she could not. She then felt a painful stinging coming from where they were surpassed to be. She looked down to see that she was surrounded by a skirt of blood. To her horror, she noticed that all of her terminals had been cut off!

That was when the girl clutched her by her throat. Her eyes were normal now.

"Come."

She quickly swam to King Mertry.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"I am glad to tell you."

She then went on to tell him all of what she had been through.

"So…she was beyond the war fifteen years ago…in that case, I think that we need to talk to the human kingdom. Pheoshan, do not let go of her."

Her hand tensed.

"Don't worry. I don't intend to."

They soon swam to the shoreline, Pheoshan gripped Ursmor's neck the whole time. Then King Mertry gave all but Ursmor human forms. Then gave them all clothes before they walked out of the water. They were soon wondering how to get to the King and Prince. Onlyfor King Axander and Prince Rice to be already there.

"I know why you are here and you are right." King Axander said, taking a glance at Ursmor and them Pheoshasn. "I take it that this is your true form?"

"Yes. I cannot tell you how glad I am to be able to speak to you. My name is Pheoshan, a few days ago, I became Pheoshan O'meroil."

"The Demon Princess! No wonder the Great Being told me to tell you what I did!"

"Anyhow, we need to determine the fate of this demon witch and hopefully set up an alliance between the mer kingdoms and the kingdoms of the land."

"Will this include the syrens too?"

"No, what they do has nothing to do with us."

Livea huddled to Pheoshan, her head bowed slightly.

"Urm…Pheoshan, who is he? The one our age."

"Prince Rice, why?"

"He's…very…wow!"

Her face was scarlet. She smirked as she rolled her eyes.

"Sure."

I can't believe it!

"So we are in agreement. The Demon Witch Ursmor is to be executed?"

"That would be wise. However none of us possess that ability!"

"You are wrong, the girl does!"

They turned to her.

"Gladly!"

She summoned the power of the Wolfox and her head rolled and her corpse turned to dust.

"Now, I have to get back to my friends Prince Coalphyre and Phiredoor. Foo you know where they are?"

"Yes, they have been staying in the local tavern nearest to the shore."

"Thank you."

"Oh and you can keep that! Call it a thank you present."

"Also here." He said giving her a ring that was made of a golden coloured coral with a mermaid tail going in a spiraling in with the trail in the middle.

"Thank you!" 

He chucked.

"Well, call it a present from a grateful father. I hope to see you again someday. Even though I know that you have a living biological father, I still adopted you. I hope that I can be just as much a father to you as he was."

I nodded.

"Thank you…father."

"I said call me 'father' when you are ready."

With that she said her goodbyes and left. She soon found the tavern and met up with her friends. She soon told them all that she had been through and showed them the ring.

"Did you find out who that man was?"

"No. But we were told that you fell overboard and should be dead. However, we knew that you were alive." Prince Coalphyre said.

"Hold on you, was that silver-white haired girl in the red dress?" Phiredoor exclaimed.

"Yes!"

"Oh!"

"Now, I think that we need to leave." He said and they were soon back on their way.
