Chapter 288 - The Siren’s Call (2)(unedited) (1/2)

When my vision connected to Tempest once again, I saw the men of our group started moving towards the lake. I saw Regaleon stepped on the water and half of his body was submerged instantly. My heart was thumping hard knowing that my husband is in danger. By then I saw something in the water swimming. Not just one or two, but it was a group of sirens swarming around towards the men.

My mind just went blank. All that I could think of now is that I do not want the hands of those sirens anywhere near my husband.

”TEMPEST, BURN THE SURROUNDINGS!” I ordered.

After my words, fire rained down from the sky. The fog that was so think quickly dissipated when the fire came into contact on the ground. Tempest wings were on fire, it was beautiful and majestic to look at.

Tempest was careful not to get anyone from our group in danger. The fire dissipated after it cleared away the fog. It also helped get the sirens to scrambled from fear.

”As I thought, they do not like fire.” I said in triumph.

Sirens are creatures that live in water, therefore they do not want fire that can evaporate water and burn.

”Kyaaahhhh!!!” The sirens in the lake shrieked loudly. I pained our ears hearing such an agonizing scream.

”Dammit, my eardrums will burst.” Snow exclaimed.

But the shrieking stopped after some time. When we gathered our bearings, I thought this was the chance to attack. I need to get this opportunity to get the men out of their trance.

”Tempest, use your fire on the lake!” I ordered him. ”Snow, get Tricia on your back and let's try to wake the others from this trance while Tempest deals with those sirens.”

”On it.” Snow replied. She shoved Tricia onto her back the next second.

”Aahh.” Tricia shrieked lowly in surprise. She held onto Snow's fur as to not get thrown out.

”Hold on tight, we are going to rush forward.” Snow said.

After Snow's words, both of us run towards the direction of the lake. After the fog cleared, we saw that the lake was not that far from where we were.

Once we arrived to where the men were, the first thing I did was to go to Regaleon's side. Half of his body was already submerged under water. He was still standing in a trance even though the siren has stopped singing.

”Leon… Leon… Can you here me?” I shook his body, eager to wake him up. ”It is not safe here, please wake up.” I tried my best to wake him up.

”Sir William, please wake up.” I hear Tricia who was just near where we were. Snow was also doing her part to wake up the others.

”Sh*t! This is not doing anything.” I hear Snow curse.

I am sure she is getting frustrated. We are near the enemy's territory, and it was not safe to stay here much longer. I too, was feeling frustrated. I shook Regaleon's body so hard to no avail. He was still in a trance, eyes voice of any consciousness.

”Come on Leon, WAKE UP!” My frustrations got the better of me.

*SLAP*

I slapped Regaleon on his cheek so hard that the sound echoed around us. Tricia and Snow were both silent after seeing what I have done. I was so frustrated that tears began to go down my eyes.

”Regaleon please, wake up.” I pleaded desperately. ”I need you with me.”

The tears have flowed down from my eyes. I was desperate to get my husband back.

”You can never wake him up.” A very beautiful voice said. I was surprised to hear that it came from the center of the lake.

”Ahhhhhh!!!” A collection of voices shrieked so loudly that it was difficult to bear. I tried to block my ears with my hand.

The sound wave was focused on Tempest who was raining fire attacks from the sky. I looked in shock when I saw him being hit by the sound wave.

”Tempest!” I called to him loudly.

I saw his body coming down from the sky. His body fell into the dense trees and disappeared from my sight.
