Chapter 60: Poison
The next sunrise in the mermaid island was filled with vigor, everyone in Lyra's house was busy arranging the luggage for traveling. After finishing packing they reached the end of the mermaid island.
Bella held Lyra's hand "I will miss you Lyra, make sure to visit sometimes"
Lyra smiled faintly "Thank you for being my friend"
When both friends were exchanging goodbye. The mermaid king called one of his men "This is a special fabric available only in wave city, take it with you"
Lucas received the soft, silky fabric and tied it together with the other luggage. After saying their goodbyes they started their journey towards the beast city. Lucas turned into his beast form carrying Lyra on his back, Blake, and little snakes followed after them, whereas Victor turned into his vulture form and started flying looking for any possibility of danger from the sky.
Traveling for almost half a day they finally reached the city gates, Noah was waiting near the entrance and smiled seeing them "I have arranged everything, we should head to the rose palace"
Blake lifted Lyra who was dozing off from Lucas's back and followed after him, Noah was already getting restless to see her face but she was buried inside Blake's embrace. Walking for some more time they finally reached the rose palace and Lyra stirred in her sleep, Blake glanced at her "You woke up?"
She rubbed her eyes and replied, "Hmm, did we reach?"
"We are here" Noah answered
Lyra glanced at him and smiled warmly "How are you? I missed you"
Noah froze in his place, his pupils shook violently, his lips quivered "Y-you missed me, baby dove?" he was not able to believe his ears, he felt like floating on the clouds, his heart started palpitating in anticipation. Even if what she said was a lie it was enough for him to last his entire life.
