Mermaids?

Violet's POV

System Notification: Congratulations on upgrading your tree-house. Here is your reward. Grain Seeds

Grain seeds! Oh this will help so much. I wonder if they know what bread is. We can make so much stuff with grain once it harvests and you don't have to use much ingredients with grain too!

I woke up when I heard the system notification. To my surprise it was nice and warm where I was and I was very comfortable. I forgot that I stayed in Clarise's secret hideout. I am glad I was able to get some rest and have my own space. I needed some time to collect myself. As much as I love being around Jee, I still wanted some space. I thought this was all a dream but I was so wrong. The goal is to make this world a better place to help the god of this world. Once I do that I can reincarnate and live a life as a normal human being as usual. I never would have thought it would be hard but who would have thought to be in a kingdom of beasts! Better yet with no electricity! What am I going to do without my phone? I don't even know how they do it without a proper bathroom.

First things first, I must make some type of bathroom and washroom. Even if for now it's not in my tree-house outside or around the stream will do. Oh and we have to check on the traps! I can bet there will be a lot of fish left in there. I should try to make a trap here too and see what type of fish is available on this side of the mountain. I take out the seeds of grain and check them out. I think right now it could be a good time to start growing these but I am not too sure of the seasons. When will winter come? I'll have to ask Jee. I hope he's not too worried about me not being with him all night. Actually I bet he's not too worried.

I look around and check out the view. It's beautiful here. I look up in the sky and notice there is another sun next to one sun. So this world has two suns? I didn't see two suns before, maybe they change the amount of suns within days or weeks. I have to remember this, you never know what could change when you have more than one sun. I check out my surroundings and see a lot of vines and a different type of leaf. It's huge! I tug on it and it's as thick as leather. This could make a great curtain for the bathroom. I can definitely use this for other things as well. I wonder what else this side of the mountain has. I collect about 3 dozen leaves and place them in my infinity bag.

I climb down and follow the vines to see what tree or fruit they are coming from. As I climb down I notice little fish bones scattered everywhere. It's not a lot but enough to know someone was here eating. I don't know how long ago they were here, but these bones look a bit fresh so maybe it was recent. Maybe Clairse got hungry on the way back and caught some raw fish and ate it along the way, right? Yeah that's right she did. She is the only one who knows about this place. I trail down the vines and find not too far a small grove of a bunch of black root looking things.

System Notification: Collection of Noms Root. This root is not hazardous and can be used as a replacement for glue. Place this root in the cold and in the shade and they will multiple like rabbits. This is a type of fungus in this world. Congratulations on finding a special item.

I am so happy! I can do so much with this too! I can't wait to bring this all back and show Jee. I better hurry up and get back before he really worries about me. It's been a few hours since I woke up and I was occupied with the new items I received. I can't wait to take a shower with some shampoo and conditioner. Looks like there is some body wash too. Alright I have some grains that we can start planting. I added leaves strong enough to use as a window sheet and shower curtain. I will have to use some vines to wrap the leaves around a stick or something to hold it. This Nom's root can be used for a lot of things as well. I am too happy right now. I scored!

I start walking around back towards the hideout. I see something around a tree trunk. It looks like snake skin. It's so shiny and pretty. When I touch it it feels cool and glossy. It's definitely not snakeskin more on the line of fish scales. It's a really long fish scale. What kind of fish is this big? If a fish is this big I want to eat it hehehehe. I can save so many trips if there is a fish this big that I can find. It looks well kept. Most of the time fish scales are a little rough around the edges but this one is perfectly fine. I follow the scale all the way to the end and finally find a tail? After looking fully at this skin it resembles something like, hmmm oh a mermaid's tail! Do they really have mermaids here? OMG! I've never seen a real life mermaid! I wonder what they look like?

I checked to see if I could find where this beautiful mermaid with the beautiful mermaid skin went and all I found was 2 other mermaid skins. The first one closest I found was beautiful as well. The color was a bit paler than the last one but it was still pretty. The last one I found must have been the oldest. It was rough and it looked broken apart. More like torn apart. As if someone broke through the skin. I hope this mermaid is okay.

From the looks of it it shows like it may be healing. I don't think they care about their skin so I'm going to take it. Even the roughed up one still looks not as good, I can make clothes out of these for sure. That may be why there was a pile of fish bones left by the hideout. I am glad they didn't bother me last night or I would've been scared to death! I can't wait to try out my new clothes.

Kyle's POV

Where did this female go? I know how important it is to have females in our tribe. Every tribe and kingdom is like this. Losing a female is like losing a queen in your tribe. As if this isn't hard enough for us to be in this desolate area we were lucky enough to find someone like her. We were blessed that a female like Violet was able to take interest with our Raven prince. I know that everyone says it would be Becks, but deep in my heart I didn't want his female to be someone like her.

She didn't deserve him. That woman all she does is cause trouble. I have never seen any female like her. If it wasn't for her looks, I don't think many would pay attention to her. I remember one time we ran into a hot spring on our way here finding our new location and she made us wait all night for any of us to use the hot spring. Even the other females had to wait besides the Grand Chieftess. How could someone be as daft as her!

What I heard from the other males surprised me. They met Jee's new female. They said great things about her. She brought fish into our village which was very creative. No one would dare to eat that nasty mud tasting trout before she cooked it for us. We were supposed to go check out the traps later today with Jee so he can teach us how to catch it for everyone else but instead we've been on high alert to find his female. I was so excited to learn something new like that. I was bummed out when we could not go.

It has been a restless night and morning since she went missing. No males have slept. We have been looking for her for hours. There is no way a female can last all night before someone finds her in the open like that. We checked our boundaries and she has passed our border line. I am scared that someone has already taken her. I pray to the gods she was not taken. Our Raven prince won't last long without her.

I check the area again and again. No sign of her. Sigh, this is going to be a rough couple of days if we don't find her. Training will be intense for sure since we lost a female. I really do hope we find her. I hear some rustling by a few bushes and I fly up to check who's making that noise. Oh I think it's her! I signal the closest scout tower and the other scouting tower towards the village. They signal the next and the next until the last one was notified. I look above the last scouting tower and see huge black wings ascend to the sky. Yes it looks like her. She was described as slender with long hair and dark green eyes. Skin as pale as white. Yep, that's her! Thank the gods. I need some sleep! Don't worry Violet, your prince is almost here.
