Chapter 25

This fish is known to guard the plant as a treasure. It felt only it deserved to eat the fruit but here Lavana had plucked four. No one who plucked one survived. What should they do now?

As a witch apprentice, she couldn’t cast spells when using the magical shield underwater.

“Beatrix, swim west as fast as you can,” Lavana yelled and Beatrix looked at her still.

“Go now, kiddo!”

“You’ll come for me, right?”

“Yes. Go now!” Lavana warned one last time before Beatrix turned away, swimming forward west.

“Hello, Mr. Fish. I was just curious. How about I put them back?” she laughed sheepishly.

In response, the fish made a loud sound.

“Guess I have to try my luck then.” she thought and turned around. She started swimming east fast.

“Mermaid, wait! Don’t go.”
