Stand Off (Ch.80)

"I believe this has nothing to do with you, but...if we do not find out just what happened in Kristen's quarters last night... Kristen will die." Prince Treyton said in a devastated tone.

Zariah was quiet for a moment as she willed herself to calm.

"Poisoned, you said?" Zariah asked, turning to the strange merman who she had already figured was most likely the Sea Oracle.

"Yes, there is a strange substance in his blood stream, shutting down his organs as it moves,"

" For now, I have been able to slow down it's movement but if the antidote is not administered before the day runs out, he will not live." The Sea Oracle revealed.

"And this poison is unfamiliar to you?" Zariah asked in surprise, if she had heard anything of the Sea Oracle of the Sea Kingdom, it was the fact that he was one of the most skilled of all the domains.

"It is not a poison native to the Sea Kingdom, I believe it is from above surface." The Sea Oracle said.
