Chapter 18 - CHAPTER 18: Sea devil

"It can't be"

"Captain is that?"

"For three hundred years I never thought it will come back" 

"The sea devil"

The calm sea waters have turned vicious, as it sinks back into the sea, waiting for its other prey again.

Many people were injured due to the attack, some were floating corpses in the sea. Agony, cries of grief filled the surface of the boat as the passengers sat on the floor, eyes wide with terror in their bones. Horrified, Other people hold themselves finding a tiny bit of strength in them to get up or looking for help from others.

Others hold their loved one's, weeping for their losses. "What the hell was that?" Ashir said as he frankly looked for Zagreus in the crowd of people being helpless and terrified. Hiraya remained in his place, whole body shaking, not even wanting to take a step forward. What the hell was that?!

He thought to himself trying to make sense of the scenario. It was supposed to be a group of sirens, but why, "HIRAYA!" Ashir shouted to him, he snapped out of his own trance. Running towards them he helps out in carrying Zagreus back to their room and lays him on the bed "is he dead?" Ashir said while looking at Zagreus' unconscious body.

"I don't think he is," Hiraya said to Ashir as he looked for some medicine to treat the injuries on Zagreus' body. "Well, that's a bummer" Ashir said, giving out a little chuckle, sitting down on the couch. 

Hiraya began to treat Zagreus, covering up his wounds and putting medicine on him. 

"How are you good at that?"

"When I was a kid I use to get hurt a lot" 

Hiraya's eyes became dim as those very words came out of his mouth. 

Ashir just nodded and continued on looking out at the sea, water splashing on the window. The room was filled with silence, and tension in the air. 

"What type of monster was that?" Ashir asked, "I have no idea," Hiraya responded. "Whatever it is going to bother us" Ashir said with a serious tone in his voice, Hiraya didn't say anything and gazed back at Zagreus, still unconscious.

"Is it me or is he getting pale?" Ashir said while looking at Zagrues, a look of worry filled Hiraya's face as he turned back to him still laying on the bed, eyes closed. His breath closely increased rapidly, his once clean and dry face is now covered in cold sweat. "The hell?" He muttered to himself, quickly checking Zagrues body for any sign of poisoning. "What's that on his back?" Ashir said as he removed Zagrues shirt.

Showing a larger bite mark that is making his skin change into the color of a dark shade of blue. Making his skin with bite marks being dry as the sands on a plane dessert of waste.

"Must be from that serpent" Hiraya said, while looking for some medicine to treat it with. "No medicine can help him," Ashir said to him with a deep look on his face. "What do you mean?" Hiraya now eyes on him. "If what I'm thinking is correct" Ashir said, pointing at the painting on the wall. Showing the monster  

"This is the Medith '' Ashir said, pacing around the room, feeling the uneasiness that surrounded the room. Feeling the tension in the air Ashir continued, "the Medith is an ancient, more of a myth.

All I know from the Medith is a horrifying monster that kills many of my people, during the rule of my great grandfather" sitting back down on the chair, his eyes grims looking back at Hiraya, whose face is now filled with fear.

"Do you know anything else other than that?" Hiray asked, looking at Ashir with a firm look on his face. "Well, from what I know aside from many people dying, many people also went missing," Ashir responded, leaning back on the chair.

"That's all?"

"That's all." 

Hiraya, taking a trip in his mind, silence filled the room. Ashir stared at him in confusion, thinking to himself that maybe this guy lost it. 

"I got it!" Hiraya said, standing up from the edge of the bed and looking back at Ashir. Smiling, he said "let's go ask the captain of the boat".
