Lake of Illusions [8]: Reversal

"Roar!"

Varian roared into the empty air.

Then, he took a deep breath and filled the air in his lungs.

"Roaaar!"

This roar was slightly different from the last. It stressed different parts of the sound and stretched the middle.

Varian held his throat and wondered if it was still working. If he was a normal human, it'd have broken by now.

That was how difficult the mermen sounds were.

His superhuman body took care of such issues and he focused solely on becoming a true merman.

After a lot of provocation, observation, and testing, Varian concluded the necessary 'roars' for a merman.

They were:

(A) Gather

(B) Attack

(C) Who To Target

He initially thought there'd be a roar signaling retreat. That was common sense. But common sense didn't apply to mermen.

Even if they were on the verge of death, they'd fight.

It was an annoying trait for any human entering the lake.
