Plot
Those who slept in the royal palace woke up to the sound of the queen's cries, not of pain, but of pure fear. It was time for the beast to be born. Almost everyone started panicking (including Leon, who was ironically trying to calm everyone down) before Dawn managed to stop them from getting to anxious, she and Triton helping Savantia to the hospital.

Waiting outside the delivery room with the others while Triton and Savantia were inside, Dawn was worried as she recalled a few nights ago where the queen was screaming hysterically, wanting to get rid of the 'monster' inside of her. She was conflicted between agreeing with her and giving the baby a chance, Esa agreeing with her as she watched over the other children, who were sound asleep. Khepu just stood there silently.

Finally, a loud cry was heard through the thick door followed by a smaller one, signalling the baby's birth. After a moment of silence afterwards, the doctors allowed at least one person to come in. As Esa was unavailable due to wanting to let Pallas and Lana keep sleeping on her lap, Dawn decided to go in, bracing herself for what she was about to see.

As she approached an exhausted Savantia and Triton, she saw the little bundle in a bassinet nearby, both of them having not seen the baby's face. The redhead, with what bravery she had, swam up to the bassinet...

... only to see, instead of a monstrous creature, an adorable little blue mermaid with hair bluer than the deep ocean. When the two royals saw her after encouragement from Dawn, they were shocked, wondering how it was possible that she did not look like a beast. Everyone else came in, surprised by the infant's appearance.

Savantia looked at her innocent little newborn, torn between getting rid of her and keeping her. Her former rage was not enough to beat her compassionate side as she finally chose the latter, naming her Triteia to keep her from reminding herself of Sariel, who is her newborn child's biological father.

However, Triteia's actions were not as innocent as her appearance...
