Fundamentals of Magic

‘What was that?’

I asked Sunalla after I managed to calm down. Sunalla grit her teeth then spoke.

“Daxia.”

‘Who?’

“The Queen of The Bloody Seas, Daxia. Ruler of SharkFang Kingdom, one of the 3 nations of The Mass Blue.”

‘3 nations?’

Sunalla shrugged.

“Yes, three nations. Atlantis, SharkFang and Exsuole, although the last insists it’s an Empire.”

‘So… why did Daxia come after us?’

Guppies swam up to the princess and she played with them quietly.

“Because we retrieved the princess, obviously.”

‘But… I thought you said she was away.’

“She was. It should have taken her at least a full day to catch up to get to the tower from the Bloody Sea. At least 3 days to get to where we were. Daxia, does not follow the rules of logic.”

‘Isn’t it because she’s too strong?’

“You could say that.”

“So, when are we going back?”

Yokino asked from nowhere.

“Tomorrow. Daxia would have grown bored by then.”
