Neridia is now swimming as fast as she can to reach the ship no. 16, which is about 32 km from her.
Mermaids are very fast swimmers, and due to their long and balanced tails, they can travel up to 1 km/minute.
Right now, Neridia has broken that record by going 2 km/minute.
If seen from a distance, Neridia looks like a bullet fired out of a gun underwater.
"I can't leave my people like that... I have to fight for them," Neridia spoke as she summoned a weapon into her hands.
It was a trident made out of Deris jade, one of the strongest materials underwater. It's even stronger than pure travertine, but it has one big flaw—it can only work underwater; once outside, it will turn into normal jade.
This trident is a family treasure in Neridia's family. Originally made by the Sirens and wielded by their king, 'Adolf,' in the great water war, he was killed by Neridia's grandfather, and the trident was taken away by the mermaids.
