New law of Beast Taming

For what it was worth, Bambi had tried her best to keep the chairman away from Yoko and her plans. She had even made sure the Chairman did not meet anyone when she invited him for a late-night meeting.

But her plans had been ruined by her grandfather. He had always been able to read Bambi like a book.

One look at her face had been enough to convince him that Bambi was hiding something from him. He had ultimately guessed what was happening and told the Chairman.

Bambi had tried her hardest to diffuse the situation but it had not helped.

In the end, she could only stand behind the Chairman with a guilty expression on her face. She had failed in the task she had been given.

....

"Y-Yoko Tsurugi, what do you think you are doing? Hurry up and take Lune back underground. Lune, don't worry. Daddy will save you soon."

Chairman Frank seemed to have made up his mind about Yoko Tsurugi. He had not been sure about her until now, but now he was. Yoko Tsurugi was a threat to him and his family.

As soon as he saved Lune from her clutches, he would do his best to ruin her reputation. Yoko would not be allowed to step inside this council ever again.

"Yoko Tsurugi, you have been discovered. Now, lower your weapon and surrender."

Elder Clent was smug when he looked at Yoko. He was happy that he decided to risk it and guess her plan. Now he could convince the Chairman to stand on his side and take care of the Tsurugi.

But the only thing he was worried about was the lack of panic on Yoko Tsurugi's face.

She should be scared and trying to deny whatever she was doing. Elder Clent wanted to see her fumble over her words and be scared.

"You all are such fools. If you want to stop me, you would need much more than your merger forces at work. But I doubt even that would be enough."

Yoko sounded board as she made that proclamation. Her words made Elder Frank angry.

He no longer cared if Yoko was young or not, his honor had been called into play now. She needed to perish under his powers now.

"No grandfather, don't."

The only one who noticed him preparing to launch his until ate attack was Bambi. And she knew that she needed to stop him before he did anything dangerous to Yoko.

She quickly positioned herself between Yoko and her grandfather to prevent him from attacking Yoko. but she did not expect him to stop for her.

After all, her grandfather did not love her. So why would he care for her well-being? He would rather see Bambi perish.

"Bambi, I did not raise you until now, only to see you disobey me like this. But alright, it's alright. Since you want to die, I will help you out."

Elder Clent finally released his power and Bambi closed her eyes. She was going to die right now but she did not have any regrets.

"I swear, everyone is so melodramatic here. Do you have to do all this when we are on a short-timer?"

Bambi felt arms close around her and she was not hurt.

She opened her eyes, only to see her grandfather's attack being blocked by a lot of chains. Bambi could also make out her grandfather's shocked expression on the other side of the chain fence.

"Bambi, Sakura, get ready to take flight. Our backup ride is here."

At first, no one got what Yoko Tsurugi meant. But then Bambi looked up and gasped.

A huge griffin flew over their head before handing them down. Sakura quickly dragged the Siren toward the griffin and helped it up. Amane pulled Bambi and Sakura up the griffin as well.

And somehow, the griffin remained calm and non-aggressive all this time. It seemed to know what the humans wanted from her.

"A G-Griffin? And it is allowing humans to mount it? That should be impossible."

Elder Clent was in shock. He never expected to see such a scene in his life. And he especially did not want to believe that a Tsurugi had shown him this scene.

For a minute, Bambi's words flashed across his mind. But he dismissed them as soon as they tried to take over his mind.

Tsurugi timing beasts? That was impossible.

There had to be some kind of trick behind this all.

"Everyone, hurry up and shoot the Griffin. We need to catch Yoko Tsurugi at all costs. We cannot allow her to escape with the Chairman's precious treasure."

More and more people were beginning to come out now, waiting to see what was going on. They did not know what was happening but they only saw the Chairman looking broken and Elder Clent's yelling.

That made them make up their mind and they got ready to attack. But by the time they formed a formation, Yoko Tsurugi was already out of their reach.

"N-No, my previous son. How could they take him away like that? After everything I did for them."

The Chairman cried out and reached out for his son. But his son was long gone and so was the Siren now.

"Don't worry, Chairman. We will find those people and return your son to you. But of course, I will expect you to return my favor later."

The Chairman did not care what he had to give. He wanted his son back in his life. He was willing to do anything to see his son come back to him.

"I will give you anything. So please, bring my son back to me. I cannot live without him."

The Chairman cried now. He no longer cared if anyone else was listening to him or not. Without his son, he no longer hands any feeling of wanting to live.

...

"Hey Yoko, are you sure we are doing the right thing? I know we saved this Siren and all, but the Chairman looked quite broken when he took his son away from him."

Bambi was beginning to feel bad. But that was only because she did not know much about beasts.

The Siren gasped in a pained manner and clutched its throat. Amane's aura was beginning to lose its effect now.

"We will think about the moral implications of my decision later. For now, brace yourself for a landing."

Amane had glad she had called Eclipse and asked him to prepare the Griffin for her to take out. He did a good job and now Amane had an escape route. She guided the griffin until its claw touched the water and then threw Lune into the water.

They were lucky that they were flying on top of a lake now.

The Siren sank toward the bottom before its energy began to rejuvenate and it came back up. It was able to breathe properly again.

"Hey Yoko, are you sure you did the right thing? What if the Siren does not come back to us?"

Sakura asked this just as the Siren broke the surface. It looked rejuvenated once more and its eyes flashed with happiness.

"Well, it will be difficult for the Siren to return to the sea without us and the beast knows this as well. So, it will surely come back soon. You should not underestimate a beast's desire for the sea."

Amane spoke as she pulled the Siren back up on the Griffin. The cold water from the Siren made the Griffin shiver but it pulled through and they were flying through the sky once more.

A Siren's true power was unlocked in the sea. But Amane was also sure that this Siren would not live long.

She has said that Lune's age was about 50 years, but a close observation showed that it only had a few days left.

The damage done to its system was too much.

"Let's take you home to the sea so that your final moments are peaceful. Hopefully, your next life would be much less painful." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Amane pained for the Siren and they finally began to see the sea now. It was vast and beautiful.

And just looking at all the blue made the Siren gasp out loud. It struggled to get down and fall into the sea but Amane held it back.

"Not right now. We need to land first before we can let you go."

Amane assured the Siren and they finally landed near the sea. The Siren finally touched the sea water and shivered. It looked back one last time before the call of the sea became too much for it and it disappeared into the depths of those waters.

"No, my baby. How dare you send my baby into such a dangerous place. I-I cannot believe this is happening to me of all people."

The Chairman caught up as well and watched his son disappear into the sea. And that broke him enough to make him cry out loud.
