Almost getting to the sea Deviana saw a familiar figure that made her gasp in shock. What is Silah doing here? Why is he here? Who told him she is here? All this question run through Deviana’s mind as she stare at the stranger standing at the sea shore.
“ there she is ” li told Silah pointing at Deviana and Jodi who doesn’t notice a thing.
“ Devi! ” Silah shouted in rage seeing the way jodi is looking at her every now and then.

No you don’t tell me what to do I Will dictate here!! ” Jodi said stressing the Will. Silah just laugh out loud looking at the tall huge handsome prince defending his authority.
“ she is mine not yours I bought her! I mean my father bought her for me so I own her ”
“ I see papa boy. Here’s some gold can you leave my woman alone? ” jodi offers him some pure gold but the love Silah had for Deviana made him reject the gold.
‘“ no! I want her I don’t want your gold ” Silah rejected.

Attacking jodi with his sword angrily the latter dodge him quickly seeing through Silah’s eyes that he isn’t that skilled with sword.
Jodi try to dodge his attacks with the aim to him tired soon because he doesn’t want to hurt Silah in anyway.
“ why are you not fighting back?! Why?! Fight back! ” Frustrated Silah growled as he attacks more faster chasing jodi to the mountains. Just one last move from Silah with all his might Jodi dodge it skillfully but with the Silah used he just fell down rolling down the rocks till he hit his head on one of them.
A smirk on Deviana’s face, she didn’t do it cause she doesn’t have her powers yet but happy because it happens actually.

“ now you see what you caused? You Bitch! If hadn’t brought him here he wouldn’t have died can you see where your hatred for me land him to? ” Deviana yelled at Li who is still shocked seeing the way Silah fell and didn’t stand up.
“ its not my fault. Its your fault if you had died or haven’t show up in the manor then none of this would have happened! ” li fires back hating Deviana more.
“ I wonder who order you to follow my mother here. Thanks to that person you this smelly rat came to know I’m alive and you bring him to his death but I won’t allow you to tell one more person about me I’m going to silence you forever ” Deviana threatened with a very bad gaze which scares li to the extent that she almost pee on herself.
Thinking about the way Azeri and Loma try to kill her she smiled as she almost choke Li to death with her same inhuman strength she pushed her to the sea watching as she cried for help.
Going back to the village Jodi didn’t know about Deviana’s evil punishment at the sea he was busy burying Silah under the cold mountain. He doesn’t have any intention to kill Silah but circumstances made him.

“ you’ll never have me never!! I don’t love you ” she said as she choked on her words trying hard to catch her breath.
“ well with time you will ” he replied sitting down on a rock again.
“ I won’t and I’ll never just leave me alone and I’ll forget what you did to Jodi I won’t seek revenge just let me go ” she shouted with tears but in her mind she is saying the opposite. “ just untie me and I’ll destroy everyone in your kingdom. You killed my Prince and I’ll kill your people”.

Jodi’s dying face flash through her head making a tear drop but she allow the rest to pour like a river as she imagined what the situation in the village will be right now.
Looking at the big ceramic bowl filled with water she smiled finally water!
She spent up to three hours in the water with her eyes closed as she feels her powers finally exploring her body. Too bad the first thing she’ll be using her power for is revenge.
Loma and Azeri couldn’t believe their ears when they heard Nabu is planning to marry a beautiful lady they knew nothing of.
Loma become enraged swearing she’ll kill whoever Nabu is trying to marry.

Devi grab her hand and the one inside the tub changed to bubbles.
“ oh the precious lady loma! interesting I see you are still trying to kill me? ” Deviana said with the most wicked smile ever.
“ Dev..Devi? How… ” loma stammered not knowing what to say anymore.
“ how did I survive? Why am I alive? Why am I here? How did I get here? ” laughing hard.
“ well all thanks to you. I discover who I really am and all thanks to you Silah died and thanks to you the love of my life died on my wedding day but its a shame you are the first person who is going to taste the poison of my well prepared revenge I love it like that but you won’t die quickly. That’ll be a stupid honor for you ” Deviana said. Her eyes turn purple opening her palm a bubble appear, she make the bubble enter loma’s throat which paralysed her unable to talk or move.
She drop the knife holding her neck as tears streamed down her cheeks.
“ nothing make me happy than seeing my enemies suffer. Don’t worry you’ll die but not now then Nabu will join and all the people in this kingdom too so when you get to hell prepare a banquet for your people cause its gonna be a huge party ” Deviana took the knife from the floor throwing it at the bronze mirror.
A light appear on her finger using it to lift loma up she made invisible to other people but she can her. Whenever she is bored she will lift loma throwing her around before she finally decide to cage her in a bubble.
“ nobody knows Nabu’s bride you are so honoured to know me dont you agree loma? The next person I’ll like to give this kind of punishment is Azeri don’t worry loma it’ll be worse than yours. You don’t even know what that old woman did to me. First she kill my mom’s real child then she try to kill the fake one which is me too. And I forget that priestess too who didn’t tell them the full prophecy yeah that one too she is going to be killed in just three days you just stay here till you die ” Deviana laughed evily still playing with the miserable loma.

“ you ” she said pointing her finger at the king which surprises
everyone including her groom.
“ you told them to kill me at such a tender age. Don’t you know one cannot change destiny? ” Deviana said striping put of her pretence which made the crowd gasp in shock as they wonder what the bride is doing right now.
“ yes I was switched with your real princess because Azeri had her killed immediately she was born and I was found and use to replace the infant but what did you do? Because of a stupid prophecy which will take place today you order your guards to kill me gosh humans are so stupid. If you had raised me as your princess maybe my fate would have but I assure you all of you are going to join loma and Silah very soon ” she said removing the
huge bridal headgear on her head she transform into a half mermaid but she still have legs just that her eyes and hair already change color.
“ Deviana what is the meaning of this? ” Nabu shouted surprised at Deviana’s action he thought she changed but it seems she is more cunny that he thought.
“ what does it looks like? I’m going to destroy this kingdom isn’t that my destiny? Yes I’m the baby mera threw into that river many years ago ” Replying Nabu with a wicked smile rain started falling, the guards couldn’t do anything nor the soldiers.
The king shouted at them to capture her but none of them can love their bodies they just stand there.
The river started rising roaring loudly till it reach the top of the cliff, then it make its way to the kingdom clearing houses and stores.
The people ran for their safety and Deviana is nowhere to be seen. Within half an hour the water already make its way to the wedding venue while the people run.
“ this child is a curse and will destroy this kingdom only if she meets her soulmate ” Deviana’s voice echoed as she completes the prophecy herself.
She laughed watching the people panicking as they sight the flood coming their way but its too late even Nabu couldn’t escape it. The water carried everyone including the king and Queen and the wicked witch named Azeri.
Maya and Zai were in a bubble which prevent the water from carrying them. Deviana protect them because they were like family to her then. The rain didn’t stop and the flood didn’t stop until all the building in the kingdom collapses turning it to nothing. In one word the vengeful mermaid destroy them. The bubble burst which free Zai and Maya and they land on the soft soil which stained their dresses. They couldn’t believe Deviana could be so wicked like that but they just thank for saving their lives.
The three ladies went to the tropical Forest to live, using her new found power Deviana touch the ground with Lyle’s necklace and a spring started falling. They resort to farming and they made their houses with stones, this went on until Deviana gave birth to Jodi’s child. Maya and Zai were farming as usual when Zai notice another figure in the forest she tries to attack the stranger with her sickle and it only turn out to be Jodi who has been looking for Deviana since he was healed by the mermaids.
Zai took him to Maya who suggest they wait Deviana come back from the spring. Jodi was surprised when he saw his long lost woman with a baby
boy who looks so much like him. He is so elated that he hug Deviana immediately while Zai and Maya watched as they don’t know him before. Zai cooked for him they arrange a room for him to sleep and the next day he join Deviana in the spring. He narrate how the mermaids heal him and what he passed through in the wild before he found her in the forest.
He ask Deviana to follow him back to the village but she refuse. “ I’m too evil to be with someone so perfect like you ” she said turning her back at him.
“ I don’t care if you are evil I know you use to be good and just that the wicked humans made you like that. And no matter what I’ll always love you and I know you do so don’t reject me not now that we have a child together ”
“ I.. I sniffs I rather remain here I don’t want to follow you to the village I’ll just stay here with my friends ” Deviana said fighting her tears.
“ no no and what about our son? You don’t have to worry I’ll marry you again ” he try to convince her but she is still stubborn.
“ when he grow up he’ll look for his father’s village ” she said with terrible tone.
“ the queen mother and your father is looking for you at the sea if you won’t follow to the village at least visit your family underwater ”
“ I just want to be here alone till I die just leave me alone ” Later at night, Jodi told Maya and Zai he going back to the island the next day then the two women knew Deviana must have say something bad to him so in the midnight, Maya woke Deviana up and she convince her to just follow the love of her life and not worry her and Zai in the forest they’ll be just fine. After teasing and awkward moment Devi finally agreed.
