“Let’s go.”
Ignoring the royal family, they went to the nearest ejection pod.Yahtana helped her in, tossed in their bags, and hit the close and eject.
There was a jerk, and water rushed around the small pod as it moved slowly away from the underwater city.
Cloud sat quietly as she slowly passed the outer levels of the city, and then a shark that would have chilled her soul if it didn’t have pretty purple eyes, swam by, caught her in its teeth, and booked it.Back to Aksalla.

Juro watched Yahtanadive into an exit pool with practice.She swam easily clear of the outside of the building area, and then his jaw dropped open.A megalodon was suddenly there, caught the pod in its teeth, and carefully swam away at an astonishing speed.
Tanso smiled.“That’s my little girl.She was always an excellent swimmer.”
Juro blinked.“You knew she could do that?”
“Yes.She told me last night her eldest half-sister also transforms.”
Renz murmured, “But the metabolic aspect was always a problem for her.They called her walrus.”
Juro frowned.“Who did?”
“Her schoolmates.She got puffy with stored energy from emotional output and had to deplete it with activity.Apparently, either transformation or other specific activity would work.”
Juro suddenly clued in.“Ah.She’s an escort.”
Tanso smiled.“Yes.While I miss her here, I want her to bring her sisters for visits.With my daughter gone, I miss the sound of laughter in the house.”
Juro was going to answer when a black cloud that emanated power approached them.“Dream Master.Welcome to Hyreno.”
The roiling black slowed and faded, exposing the man inside.“She got away, didn’t she?”
“Yes, it seemed choreographed.”
“That sounds like Cloud.”
Ledia looked at him.“You are the baby’s father?”
Tanso growled.“The one with the fiancée.”
He exhaled and rubbed his face.“It was a family arrangement.It is over.My mother and sister are willing to grovel at Cloud’s feet for what they did and said.”
Ledia narrowed her eyes.“What did they do?”
“Slapped her and called her a whore.Tampered with her food and tripped her.”
Ledia scowled.“If that were me, they’d be dead or a lot flatter.”
Renz chuckled.“Dream Master, she has gifted me with a message for you.”
The man was wary.“What is the message?”
Renz winced.“Don’t be so fucking thick.She’s not going back to the stick in the ass citadel that you call a library.Her baby will be born and raised in Aksalla, and you can walk on.”
The shadows flared, and he pulled them in.“That does sound like her but with less profanity than she usually uses.”
Ledia chuckled.“It’s a shame you chased her off.I would have liked to chat with her a bit.She sounds fun.”
Juro sighed and watched the man absorb the insult and the information.“Don’t sound so impressed, Ledia.If you had spoken to me like that...”
