I couldn’t resist reaching out to touch the luminous orb, but damp webbed fingers soon grasped  my wrist.

Mary was staring at it as well, but spoke quietly, “ Don’t touch it—you’ll die. Those things are a  protective layer that prevents nuclear radiation from destroying the passage.“

“Nuclear radiation?“ I exclaimed in surprise as I came to immediate realization. “Would you  mind elaborating, Mary? I once dreamed about arriving at the merfolk’s planet, and that place…  became a mass grave under the sea. Forgive me for asking, but does that have something to do  with nuclear radiation as well?“

“Yes, it does.“ Mary sobbed as she lowered her head miserably. “You’re not from that era, but  you would probably be aware of the nuclear bombs dropped on Japan. I tried to take my mother  back to the home of the merfolk at the time, but it had fallen as well.

Everything you saw was real, and what was once home is now a huge graveyard—just like the  citizens of Hiroshima, the merfolk there were instantly reduced to fossils and wiped out like the  dinosaurs! “

I shook my head in disbelief. I could not believe what Dicken had shown me, that our world’s  war had led to the piles of corpses in the merfolk’s realm.

And Dicken was now the leader of a race facing extinction.

Somehow, Kalimadi did not need Mary to translate and simply nodded humanly at me. Then, his  massive form dived agilely into the lake and disappeared in no time at all.

Mary promptly pulled me by the arm to drag me out of the lake. We had barely gotten out when  a massive tide surged out from the depths, with the blue luminous orbs gathering and building up  a blue cyclone over the lake. Soon, everything around us began to shake violently, and fissures  split the ground with a loud rumble.

I saw in shock that a dark slit had opened at the bottom of the lake , just like a pitch -black eye of  an ancient behemoth opening.

The cavern around us began to collapse, the walls falling apart as boulders slammed down  towards us. However, the blue cyclone raged immediately as well, shooting out like a geyser to  lift both me and Mary into the air, and I felt the world spinning around us right then.
