40. Breathtaking

Hearing his words, the siren smiled sincerely, "Well, I'm back." ”

The mermaid in the river was so excited that he immediately shouted with his voice raised to the sky, Hermes didn't hear anything, but the siren covered his ears and said to him with a smile: "Don't be so loud, I'm almost deaf." ”

The mermaid smiled embarrassedly, "You wait, I'll go and sue the river god!" ”

Before the sirens could speak, he was not in the water, the fishtail swam and disappeared in a few moments, Hermes smiled and looked at the sirens, "Go in." ”

"Well...... Kindness. ”

Hearing the uncertainty in her voice, Hermes grabbed her wrist, "What's wrong?" ”

His fingers touched the siren's palm, and the cold and wet feeling came, Hermes was stunned for a moment, and then his hand slid down and held the siren's hand tightly, "I'm by your side this time." ”

The siren held him back, feeling the warmth and firmness coming from the palm of his hand, the siren took two steps forward, stopped by the river, lifted one leg, and slowly sent it into the water, Hermes has been supporting her, the siren's hand trembled uncontrollably, and her lips gradually turned white, but she still didn't step forward.

Darkness and pain flashed before her eyes like a marquee, and she grew more and more frightened, and when she finally decided to give up, Hermes took her hand and jumped into the water with her.

A splash of water was thrown in his face, his body was instantly surrounded by water, he did not breathe, and a pair of gills in his ears began to work, having not used them for a thousand years, and the sirens almost forgot this instinct. Hermes had been observing the state of the siren, and sure enough, her eyes widened suddenly, fluttering her limbs in panic, her legs slowly turned back into fish tails when they met the water, shining golden in the sun, Hermes wanted to calm her down, hugged her waist, so that she couldn't struggle, and softly repeated in her ear, "It's okay, it's okay, relax, relax, relax......"

Dio's face suddenly appeared in front of him, and his gentle voice, every time he woke up from a nightmare, he would gently stroke his back, and repeat it one by one, bringing her back from her fright.

Gradually, the siren stopped struggling, Hermes slowly let go of her, she floated in the water, put her hand in front of her eyes, paddled back and forth over and over again, the water streaks disappeared and reappeared along her fingertips, the siren looked around in a daze, after a thousand years, she returned to her hometown, back to the water.

Others missed their hometown endlessly, but the sirens didn't feel that way, the three days in the deep sea were too terrifying, overpowering her original homesickness, just to get used to it for a while, the sirens put down their hands and looked at Hermes, "Let's go." ”

Hermes didn't move, and continued to ask her, "How do you feel?" ”

It felt very good, as if the pores of the whole body were open, and the flesh and blood all over the body were enjoying the gentle fit of the water, and the fishtail had not appeared for too long, and the siren realized how comfortable it was to become a mermaid.

The weakness and drowsiness that existed on land seemed to be gone, and although there was not much difference, the sirens still felt a vitality that they hadn't felt in a long time.

Siren smiled, "It feels good." ”

Hermes laughed too, "So you belong here." ”

Hermes didn't know this, and he followed the sirens forward. Although the sirens have been gone for a long time, they seem to have a natural memory of this place, and every grass and stone matches the scene in her dream.

They hadn't gone far before they saw the people who had come to greet them.

Countless merfolk and aquariums, as well as Scamander, and the Muse.

Hermes was amusefully silent about this scene, his task was to send the sirens back, and now that the task was complete, it was time and space to leave to the family. Scamander was excited for a moment when he saw the siren, and then looked at Hermes gratefully, who just smiled and took a few steps back.

The siren stayed still, and Scamander immediately stepped forward and hugged the siren tightly in his arms, his voice trembling: "Finally back, finally back." ”

Not Amplos, but a real siren, she buried her head in her father's arms, her nose sour, but more of a bitter joy, and after a long time, Scamander let go of her and looked back at the man behind her. The sirens also looked up at their mother, who was always standing in the distance.

The muse looked excited, her eyes reddened, and she seemed to want to come, but she was afraid to come, and the siren looked at Scamander, whose father was looking at her with encouraging eyes.

The siren gently waved the fishtail and slowly swam to the muse with the force of the water, and the muse kept looking at the siren, his hands tightly twisted, but he did not stretch out.

The siren noticed, and she stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around the muse's body, and put her head on the muse's shoulder, her voice whimpering: "Mother, I'm sorry. ”

Tears welled up in her eyes, Muse closed her eyes and hugged the siren hard, she tried to calm herself, but she shed more tears, and comforted the siren, "It's good to come back, it's good if you want to come back." ”

As soon as these words came out, the siren immediately cried, crying and shouting, every sentence was sad, "I'm sorry, I should have listened to you, I'm sorry mother, I really know that I was wrong, I miss you so much......"

The last sentence became blurred because of the crying, but the muse still heard it clearly, and Scamander's eyes also shed two tears, and the mermaids next to him also secretly wiped their tears, and the siren's cry reverberated in everyone's hearts, although there was a reason for divine power, but even if there was no divine power, everyone would be moved to hear such a remorseful sob.

After a long time, the family finally stopped their excitement and returned to Scamander's water castle, where Hermes was invited to her guest room, and the siren followed the muse back to her former room.

Looking at the room that hadn't changed at all, the siren touched the shell of the huge purple mussel and couldn't help but smile, "Has she always been here?" ”

This mussel is a rare purple mussel, and it has always been the bed of the siren, the siren is a goddess, which can nourish the mussel and make her live longer, and the mussel can also make the siren more beautiful, but the siren has been gone for a thousand years, and I didn't expect her to be here.

Muse also smiled, "Yes, I wanted to move her away, but she didn't want to go." ”

The siren looked at the mussel again, leaned down/leaned over and hugged her, and when he stood up again, he was stunned when he saw the little things in the aquatic plants, and then walked over and picked them up, no more, no less, all the things she had brought back from the land.

She looked at her mother, who took it from her hand and pulled the corners of her mouth, "After you left that day, you never came back." I've always kept these things here, I'll take them and see them if it's okay," looking at the muse's expression, the siren felt a pricking in the heart, and the muse was still talking, "You're right, I've been locking you all along, I thought it would be useful, but what should come will come, you always have to leave me, and I should make you happy while you're still with me, instead of creating a prison for you." ”

All the children will leave their parents, and the siren thought the muse was talking about this, and she shook her head, "No, I won't ......"

The muse interrupted her and didn't let her continue, her gentle eyes contained vicissitudes of life, the separation of flesh and blood made her change a lot, the only thing that remained unchanged was her care and love for the siren, "It's okay, I also figured it out, you can go wherever you want in the future, you can do whatever you want, just come back and see us more." ”

The siren was stunned, not understanding what the muse meant, "Mother, I don't want to leave." ”

The muse turned around, white fingers stroking over the siren's arm, "My daughter, freedom is greater than a qiē for you, no one knows you better than me, even if you want to stay now, you will still leave in a few years." As she spoke, she looked into the siren's eyes, her lilac eyes met her blue pupils, and the words of the muse seemed to reach the deepest part of her heart, "Where do you want to go the most?" ”

Almost speaking, the siren said what was in his heart, but as soon as he shook his head, the siren reacted and smiled to avoid the muse's eyes, "Mother! It's not fair, you're more powerful than I am. ”

Seeing her flee, the muse raised his eyebrows and said, "Since you can dodge, your strength is not weak, not to mention that you have just recovered." ”

The muse sat down, the siren sat next to her, put away the joke, the muse touched the siren's hair, "this is also what me and your father meant, you have suffered too much, live according to your own heart in the future." ”

Siren was silent, the topic was a little heavy, she turned her attention elsewhere, looking at the muse's silver-white hair and wandering, "Mother, I've never seen a god outside with the same color as your hair. ”

The muse looked down, and then replied, "Well, it's inherited from your grandmother, and she was the only god in the past, but then my sisters and I inherited her." ”

The nine goddesses of inspiration, the siren knew them, but she had never seen any of them except her mother, she still looked at her mother's hair with fascination, and there seemed to be another person with this hair color in her memory, but she couldn't remember who it was. After a while, Scamander interrupted her thoughts, "The banquet is about to begin, come here." ”
