Chapter 8.1: Saginrawa and Saminsadi (1)

“Amang1!”

The young mermaid excitedly called as she ran through the door. She was so happy to what she had found. In her palm laid an egg of Lambanang-tubig. She stopped abruptly when she felt that the egg in her hands began beating furiously. Through her widening eyes, she watched the egg as the golden lines around its surface s.h.i.+ned brighter increasingly while the tentacles at the bottom wrapped tightly on her little hand. It then slowly spread out like a budding flower.

By the middle of the budding egg was a tiny form. It looked like a mermaid but in thumb size figure. From head to tail, its color was that of the bright marigold, while its very fine hair was instead pure white. It has two long fins on its back and they're giving off a different kind of glow.

Sarikit held the little being next to her face to look at it closely and found it slowly starting to move. It stretched out its small arms and peeked at her. Its eyes were quite huge for its small head.

“Sarikit!” The little mermaid heard a tiny voice. It was like a gentle stream of water.

“Saginrawa…” whispered Sarikit to herself.

Then, there was a glaring light!

At the end of the corridor, an approaching figure of Maalam, the Healer, could be seen. He noticed the curious light coming from a room so he made his way to it. He was stuck dumb in the middle of opening the door as he found Sarikit immediately. She was kneeling on the floor and a strange light could be seen swirling around her.

“Lambanang-tubig,” he said to himself. “An imprinting is taking place.”

On the rocky area, Roselda was laughing heartily at the young merman. He really ate everything inside the paper bag that she brought.

“Earlier, you seemed hesitant to eat those bread. But now, look, nothing's left,” the young woman shook the paper bag in front of Managat.

The merman could only smile. He was being teased by the mortal girl.

“My apologies, I couldn't help myself,” he laughed quite abashed.
