The revelation took a moment to register in Nikolai's mind. He watched the glistening orb that pulsed with a mysterious, yet familiar power, similar to the black orb in his chest that contained the power to imitate and copy blood, the evil god's blood.

"After all..." Ampihitrite's throat also bulged for a moment, before something strange happened when she rolled out her tongue, even the blonde female's eyes spread wide. "I shee..." The words of Amphitrite sounded amused as she lulled her tongue before swallowing the mermaid's tear back down her throat.
"Why!?"
"Hmmm?"
The female almost shouted, her breathing ragged suddenly.
"Why is your mermaid's tear black!?"
"Ah..." Amphitrite looked at Nikolai with some concern.
'She's not good at hiding her emotions, that's for certain.'
Nikolai knew it would be hard for Amphitrite to speak up if he didn't step in now. He also wanted to ask her a leading question; in this situation, Amphitrite couldn't fool him with a lie.
