And an empty space\non his other side that he still has trouble ignoring. \n \nIt has been almost approximately 3 years since the\nbanishment of their Merrick. Without the presence of the Adra Triton by his\nside, Kaiken feels a sense of imbalance - as if his right arm has been severed\noff. Merrick may have ceased to exist, but there in lies the problem - it has indeed\nunfurled a balance. It has been so long since he had to instruct his son to pay\nattention, tell him to KNOW, not GUESS. He still remembers the look defiance\nwhen he had to break his son's own trident in half, as punishment for becoming\nexiled.\n \nAnd then there was that human. Kaiken still has no idea why\nhe even put himself on the land in the first place, it's not like he could've\ngo out and look for him - he doesn't know how to walk. And that human... The way\nhe talked to him...\n \n \n===\n \n \n\"I thought you would've been gone by now...\" Said\na young human male, with an older looking female right next to him. Both of\nthem are looking at Kaiken, after he is in his human form. Why is this human\ntalking to him? They've never met.\n \nJust how much does he know about merfolk? \"I know you can't\ntalk to me,\" Adam said, \"But just so you know, it's far from fair on how you\njudge your son.\"\n \n\"...\" Kaiken scowled and glared at the human. He seems so\nbrazen...\n \n\"If you think he's abandoned his identity, you're dead\nwrong,\" The man told him, \"He's doing fine now, but he's miserable without his\npod.\"\n \n'What?' Kaiken felt a rush of anger in his face, 'Is this\nthe human that... That HE has mated with?' \n \n\"I want you to know that.\" The human continued, \"Or did that\nnot occur to you because he was banished?\" Kaiken's fist tightened around his\ntrident, shaking with anger. Such blatant disrespect to a Triton!\n \n\"Whatever grudge you hold against him, you should know that\nit was never his fault to begin with. Even YOU should figure that.\" \n \nIf it were not for his possible affiliation with his former\nson, Kaiken feels a huge urge to throw his trident at this man's head before he\ncan kill him into the sky. \n \n'This was a mistake.' Kaiken thought to himself, 'I must\nreturn, or else my wrath will send me to the next life.' He growled as he\nturned, working his thick, strong arms around, and dipping himself into the\nocean. \n \n \n===\n \n \nNot only did that human know of merfolk, but the way he\ntalked at him... Such tongue from a young one merits a lot of anger from Kaiken.\nKnow your place, that's his way. If he could walk and talk to humans, he would\nteach that impudent sky wretch a lesson in respecting stronger elders. Merrick\nwould NEVER speak to him like that!\n \n \nAs he lead his pod, he signals deliberately ahead, turning\nthe entire school of Navyn Tail merfolk to another direction as he could sense\nsomething huge and immobile. The pod followed their Triton's lead until they\nhave arrived at a sunken human ship. Kaiken immediately assesses that it is a\nvery old one - ships from old days are made of trees found on land, along with\nlarge sails that have been torn to shredded shrouds, while ships of modern\ntimes are made of a stronger material that does not rot in water so easily.\n \n\"We have found a lost sea-home of the humans!\" Triton\nannounced as he turned to his pod, \"We may search this dying shell, and if time\ndictates, we may rest for the night within it.\"\n \nThe pod broke apart, and surveyed around the ship. Umiato\nand Savarna swam down to the ship, humming an eerie hymn, trying to feel any\nprotective wards or energies on the ship - it looks untouched, but if another\npod has come, and when they don't want to share their find, there's a chance\nthat pod's Noita may have marked this wreck as their own, so no one else can touch\nit - a technique Savarna has learned recently, and has place upon her Sea Spot\nover in the Hawaiian waters.\n \nNeither the Noita or Adra can feel any hostile energies\nimplanted within, around, or upon the ship or sand, nor can they detect any\nresidual auras that may have came from any other merfolk. Umiato sounded a\nmelodic call, and the pod descended upon the ship.\n \nAdra Savarna dipped into one of the ships, window, and found\na lavender-shaded mermaid going through a chest she opened with small spiral shell.\n \n\"This human ship must be so old,\" She said as she hear feel\nSavarna approach her.\n \n\"Is that another one of those boxes?\" The Adra asked. Her\npalms started to glow with a light, and she hovered over the other mermaid.\n \n\"Ah!\" The lavender mermaid pulled her arm back, to see a\nsharp, rusty edge from the chest's metal framing at cut her arm.\n \n\"Careful, Rinami,\" Savarna said as one of her bright hands\ngrasped onto her friend's arm. The water seeped into the cut, and ceased the\nblood seeping through as it closed. \n \nBeing more careful about the chest, Savarna floated up a bit\nmore to shine the light in her hands to illuminate the contents of the chest.\n \n\"Amazing...\" Rinami said as they gazed upon a pool of\nglittering gems and small, gleaming discs. \n \n\"This ship MUST be ancient,\" Savarna said as she reached a\nhand down, and plucked up a small ruby, \"Ships in this era do not carry such\nartifacts as this.\"\n \n\"Oh, if only we can take all of this with us.\" Rinami said\nas she scooped up a load of the very old gold coins in the chest, and let them\ndrift back down into the box.\n \n\"Or if only there was enough of these crystals,\" Savarana\nsaid as she tucked the ruby into her pouch, and plucked up a green emerald, \"If\nI could have a lot of these gems, I could possibly make a crystal dome on my\nSea Spot!\"\n \n\"Oh, that would be so colorful!\" Rinami cooed, \"With your\nlight, you can make it gleam and shimmer from the inside!\"\n \n\"That would be unwise, Rinami\" Came the voice of the\nRazirah. The long, grey merman drifted outside, the many strings and shells\ngently shaking on his body, keeping his trace of the whole pod intact.\n \n\"Why not?\" Savarna said, \"If I did, I COULD make a bright,\nbeautiful shine inside an orb of crystals!\"\n \n\"And thus, summon the interest of hungry predators.\" Denizyr\nsaid as he drifted off. The two mermaids pouted as they continued to rummage\nthrough the chest. \n \n\"... Ah...\" Savarna picked up a blue sapphire. Refracting the\nlight in her palms, specs of dazzling blue light shone in the blue gem.\n \nUmiato looked at the blue light in the small room of the\nship, sighing as her daughter played with the light in the jewel. It's been a\nlong time, as well as painful, since her brother was banished from the pod.\nSavarna has grown so much since then.\n \nThe Noita gracefully swam into the room, where Savarna and\nRinami turned to her, \"Oh, Noita Umiato.\"\n \n\"Mother.\" The Adra said.\n \n\"May I have a moment alone, Rinami?\" Umiato asked.\n \n\"Yes, Noita.\" Rinami said as she turned and swam forth from\nthe hole in the ship. \n \nUmiato drifted up to her daughter's side, and then released\na ball of light from her own hand, which unlike Savarna's light, hovers freely\nin the water. She looks at the sparkling blue gem in her daughter's hand, \"That\nis a very beautiful crystal, Daughter.\"\n \n\"Yes, it is...\" Savarna answered, \"... It's just like his eyes...\"\n\n \n\"Your Father's, I wager?\" Umiato said.\n \n\"No, Mother...\" Savarna's eyes gazed down, \"Brother...\" She\nstopped making the sapphire gleam, and tucked it into her pouch, along with the\nruby and emerald.\n \n\"How are you feeling, Daughter?\" Umiato said, \"I think of\nhim often. Especially when we find a fallen ship.\" Umiato turned her head\naround, \"He did always love finding these forsaken husks, with good reason, of\ncourse.\"\n \n\"I am...\" Savarna sighed, \"Better...\" She picked up another\njewel, making it glimmer and shine, \"I too remember when Brother became so\nexcited to see a dead ship.\" She smiled weakly, \"I still remember that game he\nhad. Hide-And-Seek, he called it.\" Merrick once learned this game from Adam,\nnot that anyone from the pod would know. He insisted that he didn't invent the\ngame, that he once played it with a few Adra Triton friends of his, but many of\nthe meryin still love playing it.\n \n\"Yes...\" Umiato produced a small, beautiful hand-mirror from\nher own pouch, \"Remember this?\"\n \n\"You still have that?\" Savarna said, as she looked at her\nreflection in the small, flat glass.\n \n\"Of course.\" Umiato said, \"I mend MY pouch,\" She said as\ntugged at a small hole on Savarna's bag, \"I found this when you were very\nyoung. Your Brother was very fond of it years ago, and vowed to one day fine\none just like it, so that he can give it to his mate on the red moon he found\nher...\"\n \n\"I imagine he has, by now...\" Savarna said, \"I am well,\nMother.\" She said, \"I miss him a lot... But I confess... When he was with us, I did\nnot know how to have friends. And now I have Rinami, and... His absence is a lot\nless painful for a long time now...\" \n \n\"You have moved on past your pain,\" Umiato said, \"But lest\nyou forget the true treasure of what once was.\"\n \n\"Of course, Mother.\" Savarna said as she plucked up a few\nmore gems, \"I will never forget him...\" Savarna turned, and nuzzled the Noita.\n\"Thank you, Mother...\"\n \n\"Daughter...\"\n \n\"Without you to guide me... I would be hating him now...\"\n \n\"I am happy to know this of you.\" Umiato said as she coddled\nher daughter, \"If only your Father can see such reason.\"\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nBrishen swims along the ship, until he found a human-built\nportal. He looked at the metal-engraved symbols on the top of it, tracing his\nfingers along the indented markings.\n \nA R M O R Y\n \n\"I wonder if there is such a thing as a translator of human\nsymbolism...\" He pondered as he looked at the letters, baffled.\n \nAnyway, he looks to see the key of the wooden portal - a\nround orb of metal. Not sure if they should be keys though - these open the\nportal only half the time, and the other half of the time, they're stuck and he\nhas to forcefully knock the doorknob off.\n \nBrishen felt at the round knob, and attempted to turn it,\ngrowling as it stubbornly stayed locked. He took his spear, and jammed it into\nthe rotting wood of the door. Cranking it harshly, until he was able to carve a\njagged hole into the old portal, and pulled it open. \n \nOne of the orbs of light from the Noita hovered behind him,\nand illuminated the small room before him. \n \n\"By the depths...\" He mumbled as he flowed the orb into the compartment. Lined in\nthe room, are many assortments of human blades and spears! \"Whoa...\" He reached\nin, and picked up a dagger with a small antlered land animal engraved into the\nhilt.\n \nHe put the knife aside, and examined one of a few barrels.\nHe opened it up, and found that it is full of strange black powder that emits a\nstrong odor. He scooped up the old, water logged gunpowder, \"A choking sand?\"\nHe wondered before capping the old container.\n \nBrishen reached and picked up an old pistol from a shelf\nholding many of the same kind of gun. He held the barrel of the pistol, and\nshook it a little, \"And what are these supposed to be?\" His webbed finger found\nthe trigger of the gun, and pushed it. The strange object clicked, but did\nabsolutely nothing, \"Is this some kind of ornate club?\" He waved the pistol\nback and forth, \"Then what's the hole for?\" He said as he looked down the\nbarrel of the gun, \"A poison compartment, maybe?\" He mumbled to himself, \"Human\nobjects are either very elaborate, or very pointless.\" The merman said shaking\nhis head, as he put the pistol back onto its place on the rack.\n \n \n\"Theros Brishen! Theros Brishen!\" Came a young voice.\nBrishen turned around, and swam out of the small room. Two very young mermaids\nand a little merman swim up to the green merman. He waved his tail to close the\ndoor to the room of blades, and turned his attention to the young ones.\n \n\"What is the trouble?\" He asked them. Penina, Brishen's\njelliscent mate, stopped as she swam, and hid aside, smiling as she watched his\nmate.\n \n\"We tried to hunt resting shark, but it destroyed our\nweapons...\" The male meryin said as they ashamedly held the fragments of their\ntools.\n \n\"I-It tried to eats us too...\" Said one of the young mermaids.\n \n\"When you try and sneak on a resting creature,\" Brishen\nsaid, \"Karma will mirror upon you-\"\n \n\"Unless you try and kill it first!\" Said the young merman.\nBrishen sighed and shook his head.\n \n\"I once had such thoughts and strategy,\" He said as he held\nhis wrist out, and showing an old, ugly scar he once gained from a nasty\nattempt at a cuttlefish when he and Merrick were once as young as these little\nhunters, \"And it nearly cost me my hand.\" \n \nThe three young ones bowed their heads, looking ashamed, \"...\nWe're sorry, Theros Brishen.\"\n \n\"I wager you are,\" He said, \"As the three of you should know\nbetter - none of the other members of the pod are hunting at this time, and\neven then, you three are still too young to hunt on your own. Remember the\nrule: We hunt when the Triton commands it.\"\n \n\"... We...\" One of the little mermaids said, \"We wanted to make\nyou proud...\"\n \n\"You must save your ambitions when we deem you ready,\"\nBrishen continued. He chuckled warmly at them, \"When I was younger, I too had a\ndangerous taste for adventure, and it nearly almost killed me at every turn.\" \n \n\"But,\" The little merman said, \"You are so powerful! Nothing\ncan kill you!\" Brishen chuckled at that.\n \n\"Not yet, anyway. Now I will keep this from your Mothers and\nFathers for now, but remember the rules - Again.\"\n \n\"Yes, Theros Brishen.\" The three youngsters said as they\nbowed, and swam away.\n \nPenina smiled as she drifted herself along, and over to\nBrishen's side, \"Very impressive, my love.\" Brishen smiled more as he felt his\nmate's slick hands upon him.\n \n\"It still feels so... Strange... To be a Theros...\"\n \n\"It is well deserved, Brishen.\" She said, \"You are a prime\nexample of the pod now.\"\n \n\nRecently on the previous year, Brishen has been named by Kaiken, Umiato, and\nDenizyr, as a Theros of Hunt of their pod. An uncommon and respectable member\nof any pod, a Theros is one who is deemed worthy of teaching others - a prime\nexample of honor and trust for the pod.\nMeryin usually learn how to hunt, fight, scavenge, sing,\ncharm, and so forth by their own parents. However, if any member of the pod is\nincredibly adept at a particular skill, the Triton, Noita, and Razirah anoint\nhim as a Theron in front of the whole pod, where he or she will teach other\nmeryin in that particular skill.\n \n \n\"I still don't feel so special...\" Brishen said, \"I just do as\nI can when I go to hunt. You should have seen how horrible I was at it when I\nwas younger. If it wasn't for the former Adra Triton...\" Brishen said, \"Without\nMerrick... I wouldn't have been as fun or great as it is.\"\n \nPenina turned, and loomed over to the armory, \"Wow, you have\nfound a spring of fortune, my love.\" She said as the metal edges glinted from\nthe floating bubble of light.\n \n\"Yes,\" Brishen picked up one of the swords from the racks,\n\"Certainly a wonderful trove for the arms of the pod.\"\n \n\"I am surprised you simply did not replace those meryin's\nweapons right here.\" She said as she held one of the ironclad spears.\n \n\"I was tempted,\" Brishen said, \"I did want to brighten their\nfaces with these weapons. However, when you reward mischief and mistakes, the\nvalue of teaching suffers.\"\n \n\"Hahaha,\" The translucent mermaid smiled as she turned\nBrishen's face by the cheek, \"See? You ARE a Theros.\" He smiled.\n \n\"And just like that, there I go, losing myself, and becoming\nas smarmy and talkative as Denizyr. And here I swore I would NEVER become my\nenemy.\" He sighed as he waved the sword a few times, \"I think I may even bar\nthem from lessons for the time being - lest they get as hasty and reckless as I\nonce was.\"\n \n\"When we have our own meryin,\" Penina said, \"I cannot wait\nto see you teach him...\" She said playfully.\n \n\"I fear for that, actually,\" Brishen jested, \"If our child\nis ANYTHING like me, they will surely be as irresponsible and wild as I was.\"\n \n\"Hahaha, oh Brishen.\" Penina said as she drifted up and\naloft.\n \n\n~~~\n \n \nRinami and Savarna placed each other's hands onto the chest,\nhaving closed it, and the Adra Noita placing a protective seal upon the old\ntrunk. After the wards were set, the Adra swam casually up, but spotted another\nshiny object.\n \n\"Ooh,\" The pearly mermaid swam down, and plucked it up -\nit's another one of those human short blades, a dagger? \"Prettyyy...\" The blade\nis short, and the handle has a pair of bird wings at the hilt, and the handle\nis encrusted with small gems, \"This is coming with me.\" She said confirming.\n \n\"Hahaha, and what manner of tool is this?\" Rinami said as\nshe picked up a compass - the drawing type, one that is used to draw perfect\ncircles. Savarna illuminated it with her hand.\n \n\"I do not know...\" She said.\n \n\"It has sharp points...\" The lavender mermaid said. She tried\nholding it like Savarna was holding her new dagger, but the tool still looks\nstrange, \"I do not think it is used for killing...\"\n \n\"I say keep it anyway,\" The Adra said, \"Maybe we'll find a use\nfor it later.\" \n \nRinami nodded as she tucked the tool into her pouch, and the\ntwo of them swam out of the old office.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nAs the whole pod wandered and searched the ship, Triton\nKaiken stayed out, keeping his keen eyes on the broad, open ocean. Everyone\nseems so content these days. Everyone in the pod enjoy their lives, just as\nthey always have.\n \nIt really is as if Adra Merrick has never existed. Have they\nnot realized that a vital part of them has been lost for so long? Do they not\nrealize what that means? No Adra Triton...\n \nUmiato gracefully swam up from below the deck. She spots the\nlone Triton afloat above the ship. She drifts herself up, and came behind her\nmate, \"Why are you alone, Kaiken? Join us, we have found much in the dead\nvessel.\"\n \n\"I would rather not at this moment...\" He answered, \"I feel I\nmust be alone...\"\n \nUmiato persisted. She swam around Kaiken, and moved his face\nto look at hers, \"You, are very troubled, my love...\" He stubbornly pushed his\nface away from her, and turned aside.\n \n\"I am content, Umiato.\" He said, \"I merely prefer to be by\nmyself...\"\n \n\"Kaiken.\" Umiato swam around him again, \"You are severely\nimbalanced inside... I understand why-\" \n \n\"Stop...\" He said, giving his love a glare.\n \n\"Do not take me lightly, Kaiken.\" Umiato said sternly. Kaiken\ngrowled silently at her, \"I can feel the pod at peace with themselves, yet you\nare the only one with a storm inside of you.\" Kaiken growled lowly, \"You insist\nthat he does not exist anymore, yet since he has disappeared, the anger inside\nof your soul has not diminished.\"\n \n\"I do not wish to speak of it.\" He said dismissively,\n\"Please leave me be.\"\n \nUmiato paused from those words \"... You know that is the\nproblem.\"\n \n\"I no longer have a Son, Umiato.\" He said, \"He chose his own\nfate, he chose to leave us behind.\" \n \n\"He did not, Kaiken.\" Umiato swiftly moved herself around,\nand placed her hands firmly upon his shoulders, \"He fell in love with a human\nmale so long ago. That was not his fault.\" His sapphire eyes stayed\nbegrudgingly locked into her platinum eyes, \"Even if he chose not to reveal his\nsecond crime, eventually, he would not be able to succeed the pod, as he would\nhave not found a mermaid to be the Noita.\"\n \n\"... I know this.\" He said. Kaiken moved away from her again,\nand faced the open ocean once more, \"... I realize that it would come to pass,\neven if he stayed with us...\"\n \n\"Then why, Kaiken?\" She asked, \"Why do you still hold such\ncontempt? Why do you still claim that he no longer exist?\"\n \nA tiny, white wisp came from Kaiken's eye as he closed them,\n\"We have lost more than a vital part of the pod, my love. He was more than our\nSon, Umiato.\" He took a deep breath, \"He was my legacy. He was a part of my\nsoul...\" The Noita swam up to behind him, \"He constantly showed me so much\npromise as a Triton. Even as a meryin, our Son was perfect, from the sun he was\nborn - he attained the best traits of both you and I. As I said once before, he\nis everything an Adra Triton should aspire to be. Everytime I looked at him, I\nknew he could be trusted to take over from me...\n \n\"And now...\" His fist clenched, \"When I think of the reality\nthat he is gone forever... I cannot accept it... All of my hopes and time I had for\nthat merman... Gone...\"\n \n\"It will be alright, my love...\" The Noita said calmly.\n \n\"You know as well as I do... He is the only Son we can ever\nhave...\"\n \n\"Even so,\" Umiato persisted, \"Even with our Son exiled, when\nDaughter falls in love with a merman, he will become a Triton. And when it is\ntime, her love will succeed the pod.\"\n \nKaiken sighed and shook his head, \"Must I trust my pod in\nthe hands of an unknown? A merman who I have never met... Leading my pod...\"\n \nThe Triton's gills twitched, before he looked up. An\nextremely large object growls on the surface as it moves. Umiato can feel an\nabundance of auras inside the large, metal space.\n \n\"A human ship.\" Kaiken said with distaste.\n \n\"A live one as well.\" Umiato added.\n \n\"It is fortunate that we are moving the opposite direction,\"\nThe merman turned around, and moved downward, \"However, I will allow us to rest\nin the dead ship for the eve.\"\n \n\"Yes.\" She nodded as they both descended. Within an hour,\nthe ship would have cleared the area.\n \n \nOnce down inside of the sunken ship, Kaiken continued to\nlook out into the open ocean. It has been a few years since the exile of his\nson, Adra Merrick. Merfolk belong in the ocean, and on a normal scale, a merman\nor mermaid are physically unable to live on the land for more than 14 suns, or\nelse they will suffer and die. \n \nOut in the distance, Kaiken can now make out a disturbing\nimage. A hybrid creature of a purple goat, slowly move its wide flippers and\nwaving its tail up and down, with what looked like an Holsien sea turtle\nmermaid holding onto it. His very sharp eyes can see a distinct black marking\non her arm.\n \n\"A Coshiton...\" Umiato mumbled as she kept by his side, being\nable to see the residual energy that always looms in the mark.\n \n\"Yet another merciful death...\" Kaiken muttered. \"Umiato...\nDespite everything else, I truly fear for him...\" The Capricorn and mermaid\nslowly fade away into the deep, dark blue, \"On land, any merfolk will dry up\nand perish for more than 14 suns. And yet in the sea, a Coshiton can meet a\ncalm end if it stays in the ocean...\"\n \n\"You know there are places of water that a merperson can go\nif they so need to.\" She withholds the notion of her dear friend, Atarah, a\nhuman who lives in a healthy river, just open for their son... \"Our Son is\nclever, my love. He would have found other ways to stay alive...\"\n \n\"Hmm...\" The Capricorn and mermaid had disappeared, \"Either\nway... He is trapped...\" He lowly responded. It's almost time for the pod to take\nrest. \n \n\"...\" Umiato sighed sadly, \"I am going to tend to Daughter.\"\nWith that, she drifted off and away.\n \n'...' Kaiken closed his eyes, and put his fist to his chest,\n'O Wise and Shining Sea Mother Atargatis...' He prayed, 'Hear my soul and the\nresonance of my heart...' He breathed deeply, 'Watch over my Son...'\n \n'If he yet lives... Protect him, and give him happiness...'\n \n \n~=~=~\n \n \n\"Wa-HOOOO!\" Merrick cheered along with the other guys in the\nparty.\n \n'I can't believe I'm doing this...' Adam thought as his hips\nswerved and grooved, wearing only some tight blue briefs with white trims on\nit. He is dancing in a Gogo cage, during a rocking Boy's Night party - first\nnight of the gay cruise, it's all men in the lobby.\n \n\"YEAH!\" Jamal hooted, \"Shake it baby!\" He roared at Nick,\nwho is also in one of the stripper cages, wearing a shiny black thong.\n \n'He looks a little too good at this...' Adam thought as he\nlooked over at Nick. That Latino looks like he's having the time of his life,\ngrinning and playfully shaking his ass for the pervy guys. \n \nAdam's hands moved down, and pumped his hips as he moved his\nhands up his own thighs, before holding the back of his head and twirling his\npelvis around. Merrick volunteered Adam to be one of the Gogo boys for the\nsecond half of the Boy's Night party - and by that, he had Jamal write Adam's\nname on the sign-up sheet.\n \nMerrick's eyes dazzled as he watched Adam's body dance to\nthe music - a male singer called Chris Salvatore. Adam, on the other hand,\nfeels very embarrassed to be on display here - exposing himself by dancing in\nundies in front of a bunch of horny men around. He's almost too sheepish to\ndance, where it not some damn good music playing here.\n \n'I swear, Merrick SOOO owes me a rimjob.' Adam vindictively\nthought as he moved suggestively to the rhythm of the music.\n \n\"I LOVE YOU, ADAAAAM~!\" Merrick hollered as his boyfriend\ndanced nonstop.\n \n \nThe cruise ship sailed on through the ocean, in the middle\nof the night, unaware of having moved right past a sunken vessel.\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/834445-aquata-cove-chapter-44.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/843819-aquata-cove-chapter-46.json"}
