He\nsignals once, and he can feel something large slowly coming towards them. The\nentire pod has halted as he tries to decide what this strangely approaching\nphenomena coming to them. Arnaav holds onto Merrick's hand as they waited for\nany update of this suspenseful foreboding.\n \n\"Samudra?\" Vanora says, \"Should we not hide?\" \n \n\"...\" Samudra signals again. The upcoming entity is... No longer\nlarge... It's several, \"We need move. Now.\"\n \n\"Alright,\" Vanora turned to the pod, \"Keno-\"\n \n\"Now! We must flee!\" Samudra commanded. The Capricorn herded\nthe pod like a running flock of sheep as they turned and began to swim as fast\nas they could.\n \nBehind them came several devilish screams and roars.\n \nArnaav yelps as his paws tightens on Merrick's hand as he\nwas yanked harshly as they started to jet forth. Merrick whipped his head\naround, and sees a rushing Shachihoko wildly bucking for them.\n \nA Shachihoko? That shouldn't be such a big threat. They're\nmostly related to the lions and tigers of the lands. Sure, they're wild\nanimals, and if you're careless around them they can be a problem, but it's\nunheard of for them to even attack prey at this time of day. But this one looks\nenraged, overwhelmed, even. It roars out as its large, thick flippers kick into\nthe water, its diamond-like fangs shredding the sea as it flaps its powerful,\nbleeding tail-\n \n\"Oh Sea Mother!!!\" Deilan exclaimed as a huge set of razor\nsharp fangs dove for the Shachihoko, narrowly missing it by mere inches before\nthe injured beast howls ahead. A giant began to swim closer, or perhaps it's\nthree monsters? Three colossal, grotesque creatures hiss and grumble as some of\ntheir many eyes locate the Kenovani Pod.\n \n'Just as Father said,' Nerissa thought, gasping, and quickly\nsnatching up her baby brother from a hooking projectile - a strange, rock-solid\nhook seeping with a dark mist of poison, 'I did not want to believe it... But as\nhe said, the Capricorn cannot always protect us...' She looked fearfully onto the\ntrio of humongous Cecelias growling and looking over them, like three menacing\ndragon-like freaks about to disembowel them. Adra Hecalt cries uncontrollably\nas he clung onto Nerissa's chest. \"Hold tightly, Brother!\" She said before she\ntwirls and speeds away.\n \nCecelia. One of the biggest dangers of the entire ocean -\nconsidered to be one of the ocean's most malevolent creatures, almost as evil\nas the Nalcious Eels. Legend says that the Cecelias descend from a Holsien\nNoita who wanted to create a more suitable Guardian than the Kraken, so she\nwarped and twisted an early animal before it could mature, and her magic\ndestroyed the animal's stability, and it turned into a monster. Nature and\nbreeding took its course, and now the Cecelia is a part of the ocean's deepest,\ndarkest secrets.\nIt has four muscular legs that can tuck onto its body to\nmake it able to swim easily through the water like a shark, can produce\npoisonous barbs that is able to launch from its nostrils, and has ten eyes along\neither side of its body, for a very wide field of vision.\n \nThe Shachihoko roars pitifully as it swims as fast as it\ncan, but cries out as it can sense one of the large, cage-like claws about to\ndescend upon it. \n \n\"RRAAAGGHH!!\"\n \nA sharp, three-pronged force raced through the air, and\nknocked the Cecelia's claw back as it sank into it, inducing a resonating roar\nof pain as Samudra goes to his weapon to fend off the monster. He grunts as he\ngives a loud array of signals and screeches to the half tiger/fish he had just\nrescued, before he allowed the Shachihoko to escape with its life. \n \n\"GO! NOW!!\" He commanded. The second Cecelia blurrs around\nthe first, and opened up its jaws. The crab merman turns and screams in terror\nas a pair of buzzsaws snap him up, and crushed his hand-made flippers as it\ndrove him up in the water.\n \n\"KARKOS!\" Syrinx yells as she stretched out her arm as the\nCecelia ate him, \"NO!\" She gasps as a third set of teeth began to swim for her!\nShe screams out before a forced knocked the third Cecelia off-course. Deilan\nand an octopus mermaid, along with several other random octopi began to whirl\nabout in a strategic formation, as a black cloud of ink began to form around\nthe Cecelias.\n \nThe Capricorns circled the pod as they began to leave while\nthe others fought them off. Another Cecelia roars as it shoots for them.\n \n'We've lost Karkos,' Razirah Ebba thinks as one of her\nshells lose a link, 'At this rate, Triton Samudra must summon Guardian Kraken.\nIf not, perhaps Merrick can call upon Guardian Leviathan!' Ebba gasps before\nshe dives down, just dodging a poison missile. The Cecelia's tail thrashes and\nstrikes part of the pod, before they were scattered about. Mermen signaled for\nevery direction for another Capricorn, or any other large animal that can\nfight. Mermaids whip and swim in many directions, trying to strike with their\nweapons and arrows just to keep themselves alive, while a few others try to\nswim for safety.\n \nArnaav screams before Merrick's arms tighten around him and\nflies in a loop. Merrick screeches as he lets his harpoon shoot through the\nwater, and into the Cecelia's throat, and saw a silver spear jut out of the\nbeast's neck. The demon bellows in pain, but it does not relent.\n \n'No time!' Merrick took a deep breath, about to call the\nLeviathan, before he yelped instead as a claw flew out at him and Arnaav. The\notter merman screams before Merrick's arms tighten around him and flies in a\nloop. Merrick screeches as he lets his harpoon shoot through the water, and\ninto the Cecelia's throat, and saw a silver spear jut out of the beast's neck.\nThe demon bellows in pain, but it does not relent, and now it surges for the\ntwo of them.\n \n'No!' He whips around, and swims as fast as he can, easily\nsensing that the Cecelia is now chasing him, 'I must protect Arnaav!' Merrick\nthought as he raced into a large trench, wincing as he can hear the Cecelia\nroaring behind him, his keen intuition commanding him to ascend up, just before\ntwin poison barbs could hit him.\n \n'Dammit!' He thinks as he looks back, and sees his weapon\nglinting from the Cecelia's neck, 'Not like my weapon can help anyway, if\nsending it into its mouth couldn't stop it, it looks like I can't kill it with\njust a well-thought strike.' Merrick huffs as he became a flash of blue and\nsilver along this cold, dark trap.\n \nHe growls as his eyes looked side-to-side at the barren\nwalls of rock 'It's too cramped for Guardian Leviathan to appear here. Even if\nI did call it, it can't help me if it can't reach me here, let alone battle the\nCecelia.' He snarls he holds tightly to Arnaav as he swims faster than ever\nbefore. \n \n'I can outrun it for now, but at this rate, it's either\ngoing to catch me or strike me down with its poison barbs.' He winces as he\nfeels Arnaav crying and holding tightly, 'There's no where to hide...\" He thinks\nas he takes in his blurring surroundings, 'I think these are the Tower\nTrenches. It doesn't matter, there is no where for me to hide here, not without\nbeing spotted anyway.'\n \nMerrick dives into a tight spot, and then jets up at the\nlast moment so the Cecelia becomes momentarily stuck. He turns, and frowns as\nthe crazy beast writhes in rage, breaking the narrow rock way before he swims\nfaster.\n \n'Those rock fragments were too flimsy. Could I possibly...'\nMerrick glances at the bedrock and structure of the trenches, 'No. Those there\nthin enough for it to slow it down, but every where else is too hard to be\nknocked back with enough force to break and trap it.' \n \nMerrick kicks his tail hard as he feels a force of water blow around him, just\nmissing the Cecelia's head. 'I'm running out of options here!'\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nSamudra growls as he can feel the thick barrage of sensation\nbrewing deep in his gut. He's almost ready to summon the Krakon. The Cecelia he\nis fighting currently has him pinned down to the ocean floor. Luckily, his\nouter shell is heavily protective, so he can endure even the ravenous fangs\nthat scrape from the Cecelia's jaws.\n \n\"Ennngghh!\" 'Vanora can mend the scrapes,' He thought as he\ncontinues to gather his inner strength for the summoning. \"Hhhgggg!\" He glances\nto the others fighting. Two other merfolk have been eaten by the second\nCecelia, despite the large ink cloud. Most of the pod is gone, however. In a\nfit of panic, a few of the other mermen managed to gather four more Capricorns\nto hide the pod's perception away from the Cecelias.\n \n\"Grrrrrrr,\" \nSamudra growls, 'It is true about the Guardians...' He grunts as his\ntrident snaps in half, while still holding himself in a defensive position,\n'The older you are... The longer the calling takes to come to you...'\n \n\"SAMUDRA!!\" Vanora calls out, seeing her mate forced and\nmangled into the sea ground.\n \n\"I am fine, Vanora!!\" Samudra roars back, \"YOUR RIGHT!!\" The\nNoita gasps as a sea of fangs and thorns came rushing to her, with the shreds\nof her fellow Coshitons still clinging to its mouth, \"VANORAAA!!!\"\n \nJust as the jaws closed down on the lionfish mermaid, she\nturned about, as several ribbons of power whips around her. Spikes of yellow\nlight jab at the Cecelia's jaws as she spun in a spiral. Her power appears as\nharsh spires of spotted light that inject a very bitter taste into the\nCecelia's mouth until she turns into a whirlwind of illuminated spears, as if\nenveloped by a madly spinning urchin of irritable lightning. \n \nNoita Vanora keeps herself spinning faster and faster,\nextending her body of power into a spiky tornado that juts out into cage-like\nbranches of energy that shoots out randomly at any incoming poison barbs or for\nany of the Cecelias' limbs can attempt at the other Coshitons.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nMerrick continues to flee as fast as he can, 'Dammit, why is\nit only chasing me?? Aren't I proving to be more trouble than I'm worth??'\n \n\"Getting closer!!\" Merrick yells as he races through. The\nCecelia behind him has stopped clawing around at the Tower Trenches, and tucked\nits limbs into its body to make itself a very agile torpedo. Poor Arnaav simply\nwhimpers harshly as he pushes his face into Merrick's chest, completely unaware\nof his surroundings, and solely relying on Merrick through these blinding\nspeeds.\n \n'I'm losing ground!' He clenched his teeth as he dips and\nswirls to avoid another poison launch from the monster. Arnaav's paws dig onto\nhim as Merrick carries the both of them through spectacular maneuvers.\n \n'Anywhere!' He thinks as his tail is burning with\nexhaustion, 'I can't think of any counter-measure!' He glances back, and growls\nas he sees his weapon is still sticking out of the monster's neck, 'Is that\nREALLY not hurting it?!' Merrick seethed as he kicks his tail onward, 'I threw\nit into its throat, and it's stuck on it's neck! It's not even going to slow it\ndown for me?!'\n \nHis eyes lock forward, spotting something that appears to be\na large foundation of giant spiral shells \"THERE!!\" He zooms forward.\n \n'If I can hide there...' Merrick quickly thinks, 'Agghh... It\nprobably won't do me any good,' He glances back at the smooth-sailing Cecelia,\nstill on his tail, 'Cecelias have a total of 20 eyes, they can see ANYTHING!\nIt's almost like that Dragonology book Adam has, something about a dragon having\n9 optic nerves, or the Byakugan from - RRRRGH! Stop thinking about that!' He\nhuffs and zips over a few rocks, before hearing the sea-behemoth clash with\nthem from behind. 'If it sees me hide into those shells, it will keep attacking\nuntil it finds me... But what if...'\n \nMerrick grimaces as he feels himself beginning to tire out.\nAs hard as he's swimming, it's only a matter of time before the Cecelia catches\nhim.\n \n'No, even in human form, that thing will still eat me and\nArnaav. My best bet is to pick a shell and escape quietly from there!'\n \n\n~~~\n \n \n'...' The bugle inside of Samudra is just about ready. He\nwatches as his amazing mate turns herself into a fury of spiking tendrils,\nflinching as one such strike of light hits the claw pinning him, but doing\nnothing to remove it. His eyes look over the sight of everything.\n \n'... One... Two... Wait...' He continues to gather strength as he\ntakes several signals, 'There were three Cecelias... One of them would not have\nsimply went away...' He growls as his eyes narrow, 'Has it chased the other\nescaping members??' He grunts as his throat begins to stiffen as his eyes\ndilate, 'Then I must end this. Vanora cannot keep this going, or else she might\nstrike one of the others...'\n \n\"KKKRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRR!!!\"\n \nLetting his head out, Samudra unleashed a loud, long,\nravenous roar. The Cecelias screech back at him in retaliation.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n-DNNNN-\n \nMerrick gasps silently as he feels a sudden pulse far on the\nlower right direction. He yelps as another poison barb just BARELY skims his\narm, before racing forward, just reaching out of the Tower Trenches and into\nthe open!\n \n\"Eaaahh!\" He turns fully around and screams as a large shape\nlooms over him. The Cecelia opens his jaws of infinite teeth, about to dive\ndown upon the boys. \"NOO, PLEASE!\" Merrick shrieks as he huddles on Arnaav, who\nis beyond petrified now.\n \n\"RAOOUURRR!\"\n\n\"HOOUUH!\"\n \n\"GEEHHHEENNN!\" The Cecelia roars after two other loud\nclashes and shouts. Merrick opened his eyes, and gasps in awe as a pair of\nlarge, healthy Shachihokos sink their crystalline fangs into the Cecelia's\nbody! \n \nThe monster seethes and snarls as it thrashes the sea\nfelines away as they pound their tailflippers harshly, before a third\nShachihoko bore down on the beast from the top, this one with a large wound on\nits body, the one that was commanded by Samudra.\n \nA fourth Shachihoko bravely attacks the tail as the Cecelia\nstretches out its limbs and crashed into the large piles of huge conch shells.\nMerrick swims out, filled with terror and surprise as he feels the sea around\nhim wave and become insane as a huge, massive mound of slime came up out of\nnowhere! Merrick hangs tightly onto Arnaav, before his back slams into\nsomething solid! He whips around, and then quickly swims up!\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"KHaaaahhh!\" Samudra cries out in pain as the armor of his\nbody finally cracks under the Cecelia's grip, inducing a hard, sharp pain on\nhis abdomin!\n \n\"FATHER!\" Adra Nerissa cries out as she swims out to him.\nVanora gasps as she sees Samudra's torso fractured.\n \n\"NO!!\"\n \n\"RrrrhhhhhHHHH!\" The Cecelia opens its large maw, before an\ninvisible force pried its jaws open. Its head is pulled back as one claw lifts\nfrom Samudra's body, while the other one flails about. Nerissa stares as one\nleg of the beast ceases to move, and somehow glues itself onto its side in a\njagged position. It twitches as it seems to become paralyzed as it starts to\nfloat up on its own.\n \n\"It comes...\" Samudra grunts weakly.\n \n\"Samudra!!\" Vanora calls out as the storm of spikes subsided\nso she can tend to her mate. A threatening roar shouts at her as the Cecelia\ndives for her too! Just as she started to scream, an unseen entity forces the\ngigantic monster against a large structure of rock!  \n \nAdra Hecalt gasps on the sand as he watches a very\ncomplicated system of thick tubes start to manifest out of nothing! The Cecelia\nthat was fighting Samudra is now entangled with a mass of rubbery tethers,\nbinding it extremely tight while it still struggled in the strange grip.\n \nThe second Cecelia snarls loudly as it thrashed under its\nown ties, before it launched a pair of poison barbs at the new creature.\n \nBefore the barbs could hit their target, two swift tendrils\nknock the barbs into an instant halt, spinning them in mid-water, split into\npieces, before racing to force the Cecelia's head down into the sand, burying\nits maw into the seafloor. The Cecelia writhed wildly as it clawed into the\nsand, unable to free itself.\n \nNoita Vanora's healing hands immediately place onto\nSamudra's ruptured stomach, pulling him away as the tentacles tightly\nconstricted the giant monster.\n \nGuardian Kraken wraps its many tentacles around the beast,\nforcing its body to straighten, and- \n \nKKRRRGGG!\n \n\"AAAARRRRRNNNNNGGG!\" The Cecelia cries out in pain as the\nKraken's hidden beak drilled into its back, cracking into the armored shell and\ndigging into its insides to let a dark red mist seep into the water. The beast\ncouldn't move, both by the constriction, and the immense damage being dealt to\nits backside. It persistently snarled in defeat, even as the Kraken further dug\nthe hidden barbs in its tentacles into the remainder of the Cecelia.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nAs the Shachihokos ripped and bit down onto the butchered\nCecelia, it still would not give up its quarry, even as it's being attacked by\na total of six aquatic tigers. \n \nEven with the numerous predators preying upon it, now there\nis a huge mass of groaning gunk rising up from one of the enormous shells! A\ncloud of sea-dirt and grime kicks up as the shapeless blob rose up to address\nthe struggling horde of beasts.\n \nThe Cecelia looks up, and sees what appears to be a naked\nhuman scale the giant shells. It roars feeblely as it pushes forcefully towards\nthe humanoid, as if it's downright determined to end this elusive, small\ncreature.\n \nMerrick huffs as Arnaav clings to him. He's just about of\nenergy, no doubt from all the swimming he's had to do. At this time, to look\nback is to give himself to death, even if the Cecelia is being slowed down\nsignificantly. He wears his necklace to nullify himself of water in order to climb\non the shells, just like when he and Yuri, and some of her friends went\nrock-climbing once.\n \nThree of the Shachihokos immediately swim away from the\nimpending cloud of old poison, as well as the groaning slime coming their way.\nUpon release, the Cecelia charges at the shells, and aims for that small foot\nleaving the surface. The monster was instantly grabbed by the dying amorphous\nblob just as it crashes into the mountain of conches.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"Whoa!\" Merrick wobbled as he felt the entire mound of hard,\njagged spiral and conch shells shift and rise. He quickly dries off on the hot\nsun as he climbs with utmost haste up the many empty shells, trotting and\nrunning when he can along them as they shoot up, rumble, rise and fall. \n \nHe clasps his hand onto one such broken shell as it suddenly juts up into the\nsky, still holding the shaking bundle of fur in his arm as he protectively\ncarries him.\n \nMerrick pants as he pulls himself and Arnaav up onto the\nlarge, broken, old conch, taking off his necklace and stashing it in his pouch,\nand plants his hand onto the hot shell he sits on.\n \n\"Hhh... Hhh... Hhh... Are... Are we safe...?\" He asks quietly, hearing\nonly the sound of the ocean around him, as well as the resonating rumbles and\nwaning quakes from beneath.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nThe other remaining Shachihokos let go of the bleeding\nCecelia as it burrows into the wall of empty shells, while a shiny spear is\nforced out of its neck, and drifts onto the sandy bottom.\n \nThey retreat as parts of the monster is currently being\nconsumed by the living slime, pulling it in slowly as it thrashes and digs into\nthe massive white objects, crashing, juggling, and rearranging them as it\nrefuses to lose, even as it's being buried alive by its own avarice, while also\ndelirious from the poisonous cloud kicked up by the moving wall of gunk. \n \n \n~~~\n \n \n\"By the Sea Mother...\" Samudra moans as he feels his stomach\nmend itself under the hands of his mate and daughter, lying against a reef wall\nas the two Noitas tend to his severe injury.\n \n\"Do not speak, Father,\" Adra Nerissa said, \"You were close\nto death because of that thing. You must save your strength.\" \n \nTriton Samudra glances around the aftermath of this battle.\nGuardian Kraken pulls the Cecelia carcasses away from the area, entangled by\nits many, many tentacles into the depths below. The atmosphere is still sore\nwith a lingering dark mist in the water from the summoned squid and octopi,\nmixed with a tinge of blood from both the Cecelias and merfolk.\n \nDeilan groans as he picks up the remains of the broken\nweapons, along with a few other merfolk who stayed to fight. Several Capricorns\nhave escorted the rest of the small pod away from the struggle, hopefully still\nintact.\n \nOnce dealt with, the enormous, mythical squid Kraken looms\naway, ordered to hunt down the third Cecelia that has strayed from the pod.\n \n\"Four of our own have been lost on this sun...\" Ebba reports\nsadly, \"Karkos, Myles, Ehecatl, and Inciro have perished in the fight...\" She\nsighs, \"Everyone else is still alive, and connected.\"\n \n\"We must regroup as soon as possible,\" Noita Vanora says,\n\"We must be sure that we are all together.\"\n \n\"Yes. We still do not know where the last Cecelia has\nvanished. If we do not know, it might-\"\n \n\"That is not my concern at this moment.\" Vanora said, \"If\nthe third Cecelia was still in the midst of battle, we would still be hearing\nit right now.\"\n \n\"It is fine...\" Samudra moaned, \"I am sure the others will be\nsafe.\"\n \n\"No. You do not understand,\" Vanora said, \"At this time, we\nmust hope upon hope that no one must go above the surface. We must recount\neveryone as soon as possible!\"\n \n\"Mother, what are you saying??\" Nerissa asked, becoming\nquite bewildered.\n \n \n~~~\n \n \nMerrick gently sits down and tries to situate Arnaav as\nwell, \"Arnaav... Are you ok?\" He asked drearily. He feels so tired.\n \n\"Hhhnnnn...\" Arnaav groans as he sways a little on the spot,\nopening his mouth for a yawn, and whipping his head a little afterwards, \"Hmm?\"\nHe looks up with half-lidded eyes.\n \n\"We escaped... We're alive...\" Merrick mumbles. He grunts as he\nrubs his eyes a little, \"God, that chase really wiped me out.\"\n \n\"Cha... Chase?\" Arnaav swerved, before catching himself, and\ngroans as he stretched out, \"Wh-What chase again?\" \n \n\"The Cecelia... It came after us, and we were barely able to\noutrun it.\"\n \n\"Ok... I cannot really think right now...\" Arnaav yawned as the\nwarmth of the sun comforted his wet fur, yet quickly drying him, \"Can we take a\nnap though? I feel like I have not slept in so long...\"\n \n\"No. We need to get back to the pod...\" Merrick yawned too,\n\"Errff, why am I so drowsy?\" \n \n\"You just swam so fast for a long time,\" Arnaav lays down\nand starts to curl up, \"You're probably tired and...\"\n \n\"Yes, but I can... Keep going...\" He mumbled, slapping his own\nface lightly to wake himself up, \"We can't stay, we need to get back, find out\nwhat happened to the others.\" \n \n\"Mmmnnnn...\" Arnaav succumbs and falls asleep. Merrick sighed\nas he sits against one of the large shells, crossing his arms as he decides to\nlet the young Amnien sleep.\n \n\"Damn...\" Merrick's eyelids are so heavy, he takes a moment to\nrub his palms on his face, \"Where are we anyway...\" The air smells really weird\nhere. And these shells feel strange - they don't have a smooth or natural feel\non their surface, besides the fact that they're 100 to 1000 times as big as any\nother shell. \n \n\"God, it's so hot...\" He silently whines, feeling his arms on\nhis bright peach skin. He looks at his legs, just barely noticing that he's\ndried up completely now. His tired eyes look over his pseudo little brother\nbefore him, keeping a watchful eye over him as he slept.\n \nMerrick groans as he closes his eyes. Oh, an entire world of\ntemptation pulls and sings to him as those lids cover his sapphires, before they\nvery reluctantly open up again. Merrick looks ahead out to sea, and sighed in\ncontent as he sees a small bit of shade up ahead.\n \n\"Thank God... Looks like a cloud's coming.\" He smiled weakly\nin his drowsy state for a moment, before letting his lips settle back down, as\nthe effort of smiling seems so bothersome. The merman takes another long,\nexhausting, agonizing blink, and smirks a little to see a smooth belly quickly\nappearing on Arnaav's front side.\n \nMerrick tilts his head up a little to look up to the sky. He\ngroaned as he sees no such cloud to mask the blazing sun, but still, he spots a\nsmall spot of darkness over the water. \n \nHis eyes squint as he peers up to the sun; to a slightly\nincomplete sun, with an invisible depletion on the lower side of the brightness\nof the sky.\n","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/948053-aquata-cove-chapter-61.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/954905-aquata-cove-chapter-63.json"}
