Ariel: The Bones Beneath the Sea
Her song never stopped — it sank.
Long after Ariel vanished, sailors found a coral reef shaped like ribs. At night, it hummed her melody, pulling ships toward it. Scientists discovered bones beneath — human and mermaid both.
The sea never forgives bargains, only postpones them. Her voice didn’t belong to her — it belonged to the tide. And tides always come back.

The Guardian Chapter V
Alexander left his Coming of Age ceremony with Cronos and the elders with as many new questions as he had answers for his old questions. Cronos had confirmed his suspicions were correct. Not only was there a link between the Beast Masters and the inhabitants of the Citadel, but it was the Citadel's fault that the Beast Masters existed in the first place. Instead of banishing the law breakers which allowed them to wreak havoc on the rest of humanity, the Citadel elders should have stripped them of their powers before they became too strong. Now Alexander would need to battle the Beast Masters and the Jikininki. It would be difficult for him to forgive the Citadel Elders because their poor decisions led to the deaths of his parents and more than half the planet's human population.
