2840 Landing Spot (Part 2)

"Does my sister know we have arrived?" Lith asked.

"No. The last time I saw her, she was busy visiting our city. Lady Tista wasn't willing to wait for you at high sea for hours so we didn't push her. I'll have someone look for her immediately." Rem replied.

"Hours?" Kamila echoed, feeling a newfound respect for the merfolk.

"No need. I'll inform her myself." Lith took his communication amulet out of his pocket dimension.

The moment the runes of its surface lit up, he received several notifications and calls. Tista was among them.

"Welcome to Jiera, lil bro." She said with a warm smile that was a bit creepy due to the fangs of her Hekate form. "Where are you now?"

"Rem led us to a shore three kilometers south of the planned landing point." Lith conjured a hologram depicting their actual position on Jiera's map. "We-"

"Gotcha. Be there in a minute." Tista hung up the call and Lith checked the messages.

Most of them belonged to his family and the Royals asking him to update them about the status of the journey as soon as he could. The others were from the few people of Jiera he knew. Also, there were messages from both Vladion and Ilthin.

"Gods, no." Kamila groaned. "Not Ilthin. I don't have the energy to bear with her usual flirting. Not after such a warm and caring reception."

She hadn't missed how the merfolk setting camp for the expedition leaders were all slender females nor that as the water dried out of their bodies, the blue scales of the merfolk were slowly replaced by pale white skin.

The Merfolk women were paying Lith and the babies special attention, bending over to coo at the kids and arrange the food on a conjured stone table.

Orion was having a hard time not blushing and not staring at the naked supple forms of his hosts as they cooked the food and served him drinks. Even Inxialot seemed to be upset by the spectacle.

"I bet this is something you haven't seen in a long while." Raagu nudged him while she focused on the male population.

"You can say that." He nodded. "Having so many precious specimens at hand and no plausible deniability for kidnapping a few of them is the stuff of nightmares."

The King of Liches sighed and the merfolk within earshot of his complaints gave him a wide berth, moving in small groups whenever they were forced to approach his position.

"Welcome to Jiera, Lith." Tista and Bodya landed outside the camp, shrinking and shapeshifting their bodies into their respective human forms at the same time. "How was the trip?"

"We ran into a snag on our way here but that's it." Lith stood up to escape the encirclement and greet them both. "When did you guys get here and what have you been up to until now?"

"We arrived yesterday. We got to Jiera quickly because we used Invigoration and flew almost non-stop. After we landed, we went to Reghia. I had no idea how to reach Zhen by myself or how to get in touch with the merfolk since we never exchanged contact runes.

"So, I asked for Xoth the Nue's help. He arranged our meeting with Rem the last time we were here and I assumed he could do it again."

"You did well." Rem nodded. "We merfolk don't keep our communication amulets at hand because they don't work underwater. The air and light spells get scrambled underwater and even if they didn't, merfolk would have no way to talk back."
