Madame Marga had sent out the distress message to their god, and headed outside frantically to try to save whatever was left of Centria.
Their creator had spent centuries consolidating their stance over the land, with their headquarters down, there was no hope for them because it would take forever to rebuild since they were already so unwanted.
Many centuries ago, the sacrifices it took were many, including kicking off the merpeople away, taking over Centria and using the turtle as a source of lifeforce, as well as killing those who opposed them or were in the way of their mission.
Madame Marga continued over to the turtle's head and stomped down really hard, stopping Salihafa from jumping and hurting her.
Tria noticed that one of the higher-ups must have shown up, so it was cue time for her to appear. Leaping over the turtle body, she jumped and landed right in front of Marga.
"You- You- You are the priestess," sounded out Marga's old ragged voice in surprise of the beautiful girl in front of her.
"That would be me," Tria answered her smiling.
"Good, good, bringing yourself over to us, how obedient, but little girl you still got to pay for the damage you've caused, was all of it really necessary?" Madame Marga said pointing out to the collapsed state of her home.
"What about the damage your Eye clan have cause caused, was all of that necessary? The previous priestesses? Killing innocent people just to bring me out? Taking over this land and this island? Making the people fear you?"
"Little girl, you have no idea of how the world works? Just like your beauty, with time it will wither. The world will also wither, whatever the Eye Clan have done, it could have been done by any other force, we just happen to be the bad guys this time, plus we're doing for a good cause," she answered unapologetically.
"A good cause?"
"Of course, you are who we have been waiting for, as the high priestess, your power alone can open a gate to God Realms, letting us all ascend and live with our makers, isn't that what the unknown land people always dream off?"
"Ha...hahaha.....hahahahah! That has to be the most ridicule lie I've ever heard, you want to lie to me, a priestess??" Tria's voice echoed over the turtle. She was infuriated, this lady was still hoping to use the people of the land as an excuse to get what she wanted.
Madame Marga was not perturbed by the fact that she caught, and Tria noticed that.
"You're stalling?" she realized and said.
Madame Marga flinched, she was indeed stalling.
"You've noticed too late, his highness will be here soon, and there will be no escape!" saying that Madame Marga no longer wasted time and directly attacked Tria.
Tria had her guard up and dodged the incoming attack just in time. Madame Marga was using her longs nails as a weapon, and dug under was poison. Not that it would affect Tria anyways.
Madame Marga slashed through, and Tria kept on dodging. Tria did not want to go in the offensive yet, because she was communicating with Chukah.
"Take care of everyone else on the island, if that god shows up, I want to make sure no one else gets in the way," she told Chukah mentally while dodging another one of Marga's attacks.
"Hmm, be careful," Chukah said.
"'Hm."
Thump! Crack! Thud!
Now that Tria assured that Chukah will take care of the rest, she kicked Marga in the chest, who had flown back and fell on the ground with footprint cavity in her chest.
However somehow, the footprint filled in and her chest was back to normal.
"Huh?"
"Surprised, don't be. You can try to kill me all you want but it will never work hahaha!"
Tria activated her golden eyes, and realizing why Madame Marga was so confident she would not die, she smirked evilly.
"Allow me to try one last time then."
Tria ran at full speed towards her, kicked her off the ground, and kicking her again in the air off the island while slashing her down with her kopesh sword.
Madame Marga's body landed in the water, devoid of life, and yet the merpeople would not stop spiking her down.
"She really was using Salihafa's lifeforce to regenerate, stupid old hag, I was actually looking forward to her coming back again..hmmm maybe I shouldn't have ended it so quick-
CRASH!!!
Tria's words were interrupted when she saw Chukah's body being thrown over ten meters away crashing over a pile of bricks, and her heart sunk.
