Saraj was too bored in his mind to focus on the whore working her hips against his torso. She had been too busty and had been trying to seduce him but, was quite unsuccessful to say the least. Her blonde hair reminded him of all the same whores he had fucked and would probably do in the future too. All these girls and women he had fucked till date were the same plain-blonde, busty and blue eyed. They always seemed to catch his eyes when he first entered the brothel but, he easily got bored with them afterwards.
As he realized that she was soon about to climax, he started working his hips faster to get this over with. Atleast, one of them would reach climax and be happy- he thought.
Hearing her shriek loud as she climaxed, he got up from the filthy brothel bed and threw the small bag full of coins in her direction. He tidied himself and wiped his forehead full of sweat. He smirked in cheekiness as he heard his latest mission whispered his abilities in hushed tones to her friends. Nodding quickly at the resident head- Mahishka in absence of the brothel owner- Janana he left the premises.
He was not in the mood to go to the brothel today but, a precious little information had reached his ears. The confirmation of the news was only possible if he visited the brothel.
Janana's Brothel was one of the center piece of attraction for thieves, pirates, escorts, spies, corrupt officials. The only disadvantage of this place was that only few of the people knew the real identity of every person. It was a rule made by Janana herself. Her exact words were-"No matter who you are in the world, but when you enter my brothel you are just a man who has needs." This was the reason he could easily get in and out of this place. But, sometimes it fucked up his plans- like today. He had been looking for a well-known pirate named Joaquin. No one apparently knew how he looked like because he was a con-man and a business official. It was important to meet up with this guy before the other's did.
Joaquin was a master in trading illegal drugs, valuable things in an unknown manner. Saraj's main concern was the illegal trade of mermaids and mermen. Lately, a few cases of kidnapping and killings of mermaids and mermen had come to his notice.
The only three things Saraj kept pride in were Mermaids, Mermen and his mother's honour. His mother- Trishona-The Queen of the Jalashar Islands was one of the most honoured, respected and feared women on the island. Saraj had never seen such fierce woman in twenty years of his existence. She could kill anyone with just a flick of her fingers. The islands had always been ruled by women but, no woman like his mother ever existed. Her walking into the Sharka always felt a mixture of power, fear and safety.
Riding back towards the castle, he planned to kill the informant for the wrong information. The informant's one mistake had managed to surpass his plans and sent him flying back to square one. He had been after this matter for more than a month and that was making him questioning his abilities.
Na! he thought. He was Saraj-the son of Trishona for fuck's sake. No illegal thing could ever escape his sight for long and he would surely find out the culprit behind this!
"Shala"he screeched at the gate keeper in annoyance as his basement door wasn't open as he reached his room. His basement was where he did most of his planning and training. Only his Ara- Shaleel and his wife- Yara knew about this place.
Shaleel had discovered this place accidently one day when his hand struck a hole on the wall. Ara had been quite mad at him, but later on he agreed with Saraj's motives. Yara had overheard the two mishas talking one day and questioned them. They had to eventually add her to their little group as she was one of the important assets in the islands. No one could deny that Yara was beautiful and one of the gorgeous ladies on the island. Yara knew how to put her skills to use. Trishona had thought them that- If you think something bad is happening and the only way to stop it is by using evil ways then so be it!
Saraj looked at the map of people he had made using every bit of information. It had took him a lot of time to link everything together. There was only one missing information and that was of Joaquin. The pirate knew how to cover his tracks very well and that fucked up Saraj's mind. He looked at the chart in front of him and started going through it once again to make sure he hadn't missed any clue.
The first clue he found was the trades. The export trades in Mahika had increased in the last six months. On much inner inspection, he had found that the trades mostly included the warrior armors. The largest making was of the breastplates of the warrior's which had scale like features for more protection and easy death for anyone who came near it.
The worst part wasn't that, the armors manufactured weren't sold in Mahika though. They were being sold to the high houses of Agnidhra. The royal family had been buying these armors for their army. All this linked to the missing of the mermaids and mermen.
Mermaids and mermen were one of the most beautiful creatures in the world. They would never harm you unless you asked for it. They loved to spread joy and peace. But, mermaids were also known for their dark and mysterious ways of killing and torturing a living being. They only used that way if someone had seriously offended or hurt them.
Saraj closed his secret pathway and changed out of his clothes into much comfortable ones. The sky had turned dark outside and it would be dinner time soon. Some swim time before the dinner didn't seemed bad and Saraj found himself walking towards the main beach. The beach would pretty much be vacant at this time except for the guards on duty.
He dived into the cold water and kept on swimming forward. Paddling forward, Saraj went deeper into the endless ocean. The depth started increasing more and more, but that didn't bother Saraj. He was the best swimmer on the island and no one could ever beat him. He could swim his life away if it wasn't for his family.
After reaching his desired spot in the ocean from where he could see almost the front of the Jalashar, he stopped and treaded the water with his hands. He could see all the palm trees lining the sidewalls of the mountains. A person from other continent would have easily assumed that those were there naturally. But,he knew better than that. His mother had especially planted in such a way that if any invader tried to invade through those trees, they would get tangled in them and fall directly into the pit of crocodiles.
Saraj saw his favorite waterfalls on the other side of the island and smiled in affection. That was the place he had first learnt how to swim. His ungodly hour practices there had made him such a great swimmer. Saraj still treading the water looked at the beauty Jalashar was. It was considered one of the most beautiful places in the history of Jagadyoni.His gaze found the ever-mighty statue of Serene placed on the rocks near the shore.
Serene had been the first Mermaid to walk on the face of Jagadyoni. Yes, walk as in she was the only mermaid who could ever transform into human form out of the ocean and have her tails back in the ocean. She was the most beautiful and pure creature to be ever alive. But, sadly that hadn't stayed the same as people started getting greedy and wanted her all to themselves. After realizing that world was not the same anymore, she withdrew the power of walking from the mermaids and mermen. Serene had mysteriously disappeared one night and never to be found again. The people had made the statue in honour of her but, they couldn't remember how her face was. It was as if a magic had been sprinkled on the Jalakara's and everyone lost their memory of her face. So,that was the reason the statue only had the lower part of Serene's face.
Saraj started swimming towards the statue in hopes of finding some peace from his troubled mind. Reaching the shore, Saraj breathed a sigh of relief and sat on one of the huge black rocks that lined the shore. There was something magical about this place. It always made him feel better knowing that atleast there was something good in the world. Saraj never believed that Serene was dead. He thought that maybe she had changed her appearance and was still living amongst them- guarding the island.
Saraj had to think through the mermaid matter and find a clue. It suddenly dawned on him that he was the only one who could solve this through. He just knew who to meddle and wrap in his plans. Janana would definitely open her mouth if held at a knife point. Smirking, Saraj stood up and made his way back to the castle in his wet clothes.
