Kaili wouldn’t admit it, but he was indeed enjoying his time in this weird gathering. A lot of strangers greeted him for his costume, admiring how much he resembled that Game of Thrones character. Kaili had no idea what they were talking about, but he couldn’t say he didn’t appreciate the attention. Everyone seemed to be all smiles in this costume party.
The merfolk didn’t have a lot of costume parties. Most of the parties undersea were simple: There was food, and there was a reason for the celebration. Those reasons varied from victorious conquest to a guppy getting to prove himself in action. This surface-world celebration seemed to celebrate only one thing: escapism. There was probably more to it but Kaili couldn’t be bothered to ask. He had food. He had his dinner. He was done here.
He was about to get out of the venue when four familiar faces appeared before him. They were his family. At least, they had been. They were strangers now, traitors. Kaili immediately felt his face burn. He gritted his teeth. He never failed to state how much he hated these bastards. He would make them pay, he would always say. This was his opportunity.
Kaili roared, ignoring everyone else at the party. He was now blinded with rage. He charged at his ghosts, wanting nothing more than to make them suffer as they did him.
