Pov Mermaid Princess Fyria:
,m Seeing my mother fighting that thing was far beyond what I could have expected, that monstrosity dominated my mother from the beginning of combat, no kind of attack stopped her advance, a power that cannot be stopped and a fury that knows no limits.
Her aura dominated the center of the capital making everyone including me tremble in fear, but I still noticed something when I saw the attacks of our greatest warriors pass him while my mother's attacks had even the slightest effect.
My suspicions were confirmed when I saw my mother drop dead and the image of that thing disappear just as mysteriously as it had appeared.
"(Was that some kind of curse? But from whom? Did the royal family of this Realm do anything before they were killed?)" (I)
"..." (I)
I look around still not able to move, I'm not as strong as our Warriors and Generals, my strength doesn't come close to my mother who was the strongest in our nation.
That's why I can't get up yet like many others who are still on the ground due to that horrifying Aura, at least I kept my consciousness.
"My Queen, let me help you." (General Glennda)
Suddenly one of the warriors who had tried to fight alongside my mother appears beside me, her face marked with grief and sadness.
"I'm not..." (I)
"Now you are the only Queen." (General Glennda)
"..." (I)
"I, like all the other Generals and Ministers, know how much you were against this war, but I hope you can..." (General Glennda)
"Later... I want to see my mother..." (I)
"How to order." (General Glennda)

In a few minutes, I let the others see the Tritons in the square in front of the castle and the soldiers while I joined in with the people my mother trusted most.
My mother's body was brought to me, her body was completely healed, and no injuries of any kind were left on her body, but the holes and rips in her clothing reveal the amount of injuries that must have been on her body.
Then I look at the trident still held tightly in her hand, the body of the trident was full of dents and a few small cracks, I remember 20 minutes ago it was shining like new.
"Mother..." (I)
The sadness and pain I felt now was greater than I imagined I would feel for this tyrant who brought so many deaths, I know she did horrible things but when I close my eyes I still remember the mother who sang to me every night before sleep when I was little.
"WHO IS...HUH!?" (General Glennda)
Suddenly General Glennda is in front of me while two other warriors of equal strength to her are to my right and left, they all draw their weapons, but before they can do anything the whole room is covered in a red hue as if everything changed to different shades of red.
"No need to get excited, I just came to get something, and then I'm gone."
"..." (I)
When everything turned red, it was like time had stopped, I felt some kind of pressure on my body preventing even my eyes from moving, even breathing was difficult and it felt like it was something I was being allowed to do.
It wasn't just me immobilized like this, everyone was like that, so silence was the only thing I could hear before that female voice spoke as I felt the water moving away from this room, so footsteps could be heard coming from behind.
Then I feel someone pass by, but all I see is golden hair and pointed ears, she's also wearing a strange black and white dress and looks like a White Elf, this would be the first time I've seen someone of that race.
At that moment I realized that she was the only one not covered in the red colors like everyone else in the room, she also moved freely as she passed me and lowered herself until she reached my mother's body.
"It was very difficult to track down the other side of the curse, my lady."
"Yes, I know it could be an opportunity."
"No, I still think I should have stopped him from using those curses."
"You have to learn that not everything is solved by violence."
"I thought, let me check if it's here…yes that's it."
The Elf was talking to herself, but it seemed as if she was only listening to half of the conversation, maybe she has some communication item that she is using to talk to a companion outside.
She moves my mother's body gently as she checks every piece of jewelry and accessory she owns, then stops at her hand where she pulls out a ring with a blue pearl.
The Elf gently pulls on the ring before taking the Staff of the Seawatcher out of the ring that was my mother's favorite storage item, something my father gave her a long time ago from what I heard from him.
"It might be useful, but it's sealed."
"Are you sure you want to ask her?"
"She owes her brother a favor, not you."
"Of course, she hates you, every time you meet you start a fight with her."
Sigh
"Yeah, I know where to go now, and forget about doing that."
"I will not attack an army relying only on disposable items."
She walks forward and jumps out of the window, I never saw her face but the moment she jumped out the window the red color fades as water rushes through the doors and windows back into the room.
It was no surprise to see several things being pushed by the water and some people being pushed, but I run to get my mother's body and the ring that the Elf from before left on top of the body after taking the Staff of the Seawatcher.
After the room is filled with water again, I realize that General Glennda and the other two warriors were at the window where the Elf came out looking around, it seems they didn't find her.
"Who was she?" (I)
