Chapter 107 Running After Him

• Once he had caught up to him Tide pulled him into a hug pressing their chests together, their Soulpearl bloomed with warmth and an overpowering strength that had both Merman and Tideian panting loudly. Alexander pulled away shortly after that and turned away from Tide so he wouldn't see his reddened face.
• "Why do you worry so much about death and the future, Alexander?"
• "They're inevitable, no matter how you look at it, death is our fate and we do not reincarnate, we just fade away to the Halls of the Gods for eternal rest but you live longer, the Merdragons never die nor age, so they do not have to worry about death or the future, they have all the time they need to do whatever they want and as for you, a Tideian, whether you left something unfinished, you reincarnates to have it finished, but what fate do we have, when we are dead that's the end of us nothing more, so I worry, I worry I may not have enough time, I worry I may not be happy enough, I worry I may not live long enough for you. I fear for the future since it's so bleak, so uncertain, I fear love... I am terrified to leave you all alone for I know I will not return to be by your side." The last words he had whispered and began to swim away.
