Evangeline stretched languidly, her eyes half-closed. She reached out beside her, but her hand met only empty space.
Her fingers stilled. Slowly opening her eyes, she glanced from side to side. 'Danton isn't here?'
Evangeline blinked and gently stroked the small fox carved on the Sea Conch. She casually pulled on her Merweave Silk Clothes, then rose and left the Sea Conch House.
Ever since Danton became the Clan Leader of the Mer Clan, the tribe seemed to have regained its former liveliness. The female Merfolk in the Coral Grove were busy gathering pearls. When they saw Evangeline, they all paused to greet her warmly.
Everyone knew she was Evangeline. They also knew she was the one who had once caused Young Clan Leader Danton's Star Pattern to shatter. But now, she was also the one who had protected the Mer Clan and even resolved the Sandwurm crisis. She was the Mer Clan's rightful Witch!
