The Altar 2

The Altar 2

Boom! Boom! More water bombs hit the duo as they proceeded into the surrounding grounds of The Altar. Surprisingly, the duo was able to safely reach The Altar. But, it was then that Crystal had a bad feeling.

“Um… Mr. Mermaid, what is this place?” asked Crystal as her whole body emanated fear.

“It is The Altar,” barked the mermaid.

“The Altar?”

The mermaid gave Crystal a sly smiled. His eyes filled with joy. He kept on looking at Crystal and smiling.

Then he said, “The Altar is the center of mermaid holy ground. It controls the power and influence of Atlantis.”

“That’s pretty cool. So, what does that have to do with me?”

Crystal took a step backwards, preparing to run. It was then that the mermaid’s smile changed into a dark smirk.

“That is because you are The-Chosen-One, the one to stain the holy and bring darkness. But don’t worry, I will take that power from you. A mere human such as you has no use for such great power.”

Crystal immediately turned around and ran. But, boom, she ran into an invisible wall.

“Ah ha ha ha HAA! Do you think that I brought you all this way just to let you escape? Hmph! You are the sacrifice and The Altar will be painted with your dark blood!”

The mermaid called to the ocean water and captured Crystal. Crystal was thrown onto a stone table. She tried to get off, but the mermaid wrapped his scaly hand tightly around her neck. He slammed her down back onto the table. This time Crystal’s head slammed against the table and created an instant strike of pain that resonated throughout Crystal’s entire body. The pain numbed all of her senses except for her eye sight.

The mermaid chanted a spell of the ancients. It was a spell to call upon the fire from the gates of hell. This was the fire that destroyed the eastern, the western, and the southern mermaid empires. Only Atlantis, the northern mermaid empire was left. Now under this black mermaid’s spell the holiest altar in all of mermaid land was about to be stained.
