The Merman Prince

 One day Little Miru, Tsaramelk, and The First one (19 years old) went on an adventure to see the world outside of the enclosure. They encountered many animals and surprisingly other oasis as well, for Miru who has never been outside before this whole experience was awesome. 

During the height of the sun the three of them as well as other 12 merman militias were searching for a place to rest. There was a cave that appeared to be deep and cool inside, and true indeed as they stepped in it was an enormous space. Miru watched the dark greenish colored stones and the occassional yellow reflecting shots of sunrays. The further in they went the colder the air become, the First one and the other troops were looking at each other with excitement. "Have you guys seen this before?" "No I haven't", "How come such magnificent place and cool escaped the views of the older ones all these time?"

So they went deeper and deeper. 

A slight buzzing noise at the ceiling, the cold air were coupled with breezes of humidity. A small figure blasted through the ranks unnoticed. Faint but constant there were sounds of dripping water, and as they couldn't help but getting even more amazed the negligible buzzing became louder, and louder. 

First One: Hold on, what?

Troop 1: Hey, listen guys...

Tsaramelk: (*pinched eyes) its from the outside, they are... they are... 

Everyone: Bees!!!

Soon they were running further in searching for a good hiding spot, but too late the swarm of bees flew in so quickly they passed through them. They were buzzing and spinning everywhere and bumping themselves on the wall and on their bodies. 

Troop 2: Help! Help! Help!

First One: Miru!

Tsaramelk: He's with me! he's under my shirt!

Miru: Brother they don't seem to be stinging,

Tsaramelk confirmed his brother's remark and watched in perplexion as they were flying all over the place, chaotic but harmonious, violent but not harming, it feels almost as if they were crying. 

Troop 3: They, They... somehow I feel sadness

Troop 4: How weird

Miru looked around and started to follow one bee that is separated from the others, at the bottom where it flew there's a giant bee lying, its already dead. 

Miru watched in perplexion but soon the bee started to crash its body on his face, and then his body, such were as if it was pushing him back towards the entrance of the cave. 

Miru: (First One) I think they are trying to tell us to get out of this cave

Troop 5: Oh no!

First One: What is it?

Troop 5: Could this be

Troop 1: What brother?

Troop 2: Oh no!

Troop 5 and 2 together: The Basilisk's cave!

Right after they said that green mist started fuming from inside the cave, a loud shriek blasting through all of the cave, as if a soldier was blowing on a horn in a midst of an ambush.  

Miru: Ruuuuuuun!!!

Everyone was running as fast as they could, Tsaramelk picked Miru up and Miru, with his strengthening magic reinforced his brother's muscles so that they wouldn't tear even when he exerted a lot of power. So Tsaramelk with his excellent athleticism ran faster than the others, and faster and faster, until he managed to get outside and put Miru down and then went in again. 

Miru: Brother wait! what are you doing!...
