Chapter 111 Death Of Alexander

• The Mountain Tears Festival went by greatly and Tide couldn't be happier with Alexander closer to him now than before. He has even taken him before Neptune to show him off as the one who has won the Pearl of the Tideian's Soul and Neptune in turn gave his blessings. Now, Aquarial eagerly looked forward to their Soul Bonding ceremony and Alexander had assured him they shall soon have it. Time flew by fast and Tide waited patiently for his Lover to be ready for their lifetime commitment yet Alexander wouldn't give his consent. Something often seemed to draw him back, make him change his mind at the last minute, it was exhausting but not so much that it would anger Tide, he understood Alexander's fear, and he stood by him, waiting on him. All that mattered is that Alexander had returned his love now if he doesn't want to perform the Soul Bonding then so be it. Tide would be there for him no matter what. A certain uprising rose amongst the Human and the Seas. At first, it started like mindless gossip but soon spread fast like wildfire. Aquarial became distraught by the actions of the Humans to who they have entrusted many of their own into their hands.
• The humans began to kill those who have united with them in love and marriages. They say the Green blood of the Merfolks healed their infirmities and even more, their blood was sold at higher prices. Neptune ordered all who are above the waters to return home. But, the humans were far too quick and wicked. They killed them in their hundreds and after Atana was killed the war arose. It was a fearsome time for the Seven Seas as the humans they had welcomed with open arms turned around to hunt them for profits.
• Years flew by and the wars continued. It was at this time that Tide received the news of his PearlMate captivity. Enraged and stricken with fear he went in search of him. But it was rather too late when he found him. Alexander had been caught in one of their many trapping nets, a spear impelled into his side, right where his SoulPearl lies. They had learned this trick knowing that once a SoulPearl is struck, a Merfolk is weak and defenseless, and soon will die. Tide was wroth to see his Lover dangling from their nest, bleeding and dying. It was the second time Tide killed the humans for Alexander's sake. He capsized their ships and killed their men in their hundreds, their bodies melted away, and their bones nestled in the depth of the Sea beds. Tide cut the nets trapping his lover and carried him to Riveri, and at the Elder's feet, he lay him still.
