"I'm an old woman Sea Wolf, an accomplished one. If you think i'm afraid of death, then you are mistaken." Rachel said, her voice laced with confidence.Then she turned to Richard,"This is not where it ends Rich, for me, this is where it ends but for you, death is just a stepping stone."Richard couldn't muster up courage to speak, his heart sank in sorrow as tears kept running down his cheeks..Sea Wolf's men opened the cage and tossed Rachel Spencer in.The pirates watched in sheer pleasure as the lions feasted on her, tearing her limbs, and ending her life.Richard shut his eyes closed as the lions fought over her body.."An eye for an eye Richard. Now we are even."Hot tears gathered around Richard's eyes, his eyebrows furrowed in anger as he clench his fists..'First,my wife betrays me, now my god mother is dead, my own fate is almost sealed.' He thought to himself.A thought suddenly flashed across his mind.He remembered something his father said about him being a merman."Th
Richard nodded his head in disbelief."This is not a fair fight.""How do I kill this savage?" He thought within himself.Tiger ran towards Richard, closing the distance between them.Richard crouched down and picked some grain of sand.He sprinted forward as though he was running towards Tiger.Tiger swinged the axe at Richard, anticipating Richard to dodge the axe, and be cornered in the perfect spot for the second axe on his left hand.Richard swerved the axe but before Tiger could swing the second axe, Richard threw the grain of sand directly into his eyes.Tiger was momentarily blinded by the sand, he swiftly rolled away to his right.Richard followed aggressively like a lion aiming for the neck of his prey.Tiger, upon hearing the foot steps of Richard running towards him, hurled the axe on his right hand at the direction of Richard's footsteps.Richard darted to the left, narrowly escaping the axe's deadly trajectory.The axe, however hits the skull of an unsuspecting pirate w
As the pirates sailed away, Richard's lifeless body sank deeper into the ocean.The water pressure built up, and his lungs filled with saltwater.But just as all hope seemed lost.A strange glow enveloped his body. The water around him began to churn and foam.[Ping! System loading][Ping! System loaded][Ping! Host found][Host:- Richard Rawlings]Richard eyes floor flickered open![Host has been healed of bullets wound][Welcome to the mermaid system]Richard gasped, water expelling from his lungs.Confused and disoriented, he looked around.A school of bioluminescent fishes circled around him.Richard's body glowed with an ethereal light, as if the ocean itself was infusing him with an otherworldly energy.The churning water creates a whirlpool effect, drawing Richard towards the Sea shore.As the whirlpool rages on, Richard feels himself being drawn. The water churns, propelling him forward with a fierce energy.He tried to resist but couldn't beat the ocean's power.Finally, Rich
As soon as Richard entered the cage, the lions eyes locked onto him like predators sensing prey. Their tails twitched, and their ears perked up, as if daring him to come closer. With a sudden burst of ferocity, the lions pounced, their powerful legs propelling them towards Richard like a sport car.But just as the lions were about to strike, Richard instinctively closed his eyes and time seemed to freeze. The lions' snarling faces halted mere inches from Richard's, their hot breath suspended in mid-air. The world around him became a statue-still tableau, as if time itself had been paused.Richard's eyes widened in wonder as he gazed upon the frozen lions. He raised a hand, and to his amazement, the lions didn't flinch. He could see every detail of their ferocious expressions, every muscle tense and ready to strike. But they remained motionless, trapped in a temporal immobility."Wow!" He exclaimed in astonishment."This is the coolest thing I have ever seen in my entire life."
Richard's eyes slowly opened, slowly taking in his surroundings.He was still on the island, tied in the pirates tent, surrounded by the seven ladies.Evelyn, the leader, sat in front of him, her eyes watchful."Welcome back pirate." Her voice smooth as silk.They assumed Richard was a pirate because of where they had found him.Richard tried to raise his head straight, but a wave of dizziness forced his head down.The other six ladies stood, watching him."What.... what happened?" He stammered.Evelyn smiled, "You tell us.""We found you in this pirate camp talking to yourself like some mad fellow."As Richard's head cleared, he took a proper glance at Evelyn."Who are you?" He asked, his curiousity piqued."You go first pirate, what's this camp for? and where are the rest of your crews?"Richard's mind raced as he tried to process the situation."You're mistaken, i'm not a pirate."Evelyn smiled, "Really? Explain yourself then."Richard thought of hiding his true identity or mission
They stepped into the submarine's hatch, and it closed behind them with a hiss.Inside, the submarine was sleek and high-tech, with holographic screens and advanced control panels.Evelyn took the command chair, and with a few swift motions, the submarine dove into the depths of the ocean.As they descended, the water pressure increased, and the darkness of the deep sea enveloped them. But inside the submarine, it was bright and spacious, with soft lighting and a calm atmosphere.Evelyn turned to Richard"Listen up, cleaner, the plan is simple; do not mess it up."Richard nodded, "What do you want me to do?"Evelyn's expression turned serious."Skullers research facilities are heavily guarded but they're going to underestimate you because you are a cleaner."Evelyn handed Richard a small device that looked like a wristwatch."This is a hacking tool. You'll use it to disable the security cameras and alarms in the facility. Mia will guide you through it."Mia nodded, her eyes fixed on
Richard closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, time was frozen.Cold shivers traveled down Richard's spine when he saw what was right before him.Bullets 12 inches away from him.If he hadn't stopped time, these bullets would have been the end of Richard Rawlings.He sighed in relief as he scanned the environment, everything seemed to be static.The birds flying in the sky and the waves of the sea all stood motionless like statues."These bullets can't be shot in vain." He said out loud.He walked to the two guards standing motionless in front of him, took their guns, and hid them in his uniform.He carried the guards one by one and positioned them in front of the bullets."That should do the trick."He picked up the mop stick and placed it on his shoulder as he walked into the research facility whistling.As Richard walked into the research facility, whistling a tune, he was met with an eerie silence.The usual hum of machinery and chatter of scientists was replaced by an u
The elder was completely oblivious to Richard's presence, the scientists didn't notice him either.Richard thought of calling his father-in-law's attention, but he was not ready to face six scientists who might shape-shift into bear-like creatures.He hid and watched them closely as they talked.Richard observed from his hidden vantage point, trying to make sense of the conversation."If my father-in-law is an elder in Skuller's group then that makes Scarlett directly involved too." He thought to himself.His eyes suddenly lit up."She sent the assassin after me.""Bloody hell, my wife tried to kill me."His anger boiled intensely.His father-in-law gestured emphatically, his voice rising as he spoke.The scientists nodded in unison, their eyes gleaming with intensity."....the serum is ready," one of the scientists said, holding up a vial of glowing liquid."We can proceed with the transformation.""Ooh, the serum is not for me," Richard's father-in-law responded."It's for my daught
