77: Sea Sirens

Darius stepped forward, keeping his Vox Magic loud and clear to calm the Sea Siren. Her fin-like ears twitched, trying to dispel the magic but to no avail. At last, she lowered her head, submitting to Darius.

'Am I going to be killed?' Thought the Sea Siren inwardly. The Vox Magic not only affected her bodily reaction but her mind also.

She braced herself for the excruciating pain that might come at any moment. She gritted her teeth and clenched her jaws. However, the anticipated searing hot steel against her skin never came.

Instead, a hand reached her person, a tray of medicine and prescription salves was presented before her.

"This one is for your skin, this one is antibiotics for the infection. You may go whenever you are ready. But, I won't suggest that. The storm is still raging outside."

Darius spoke to her in his local language which was similar to hers.
