"Mother, you taught me since I was young that I should repay kindness," I once promised Mr. Fischer that I would go ashore to reunite with him, that was my promise. Are you asking me to break my word?"
Xuan Shen's eyes twinkled slightly, but she maintained the same posture she had before,
"War, the war of the Mythical Species... Moli, you and many others have been too comfortable for too long, you've forgotten the horrors of war. You have not seen the world shatter, you have not seen rivers of blood, you have not seen countless bones. I participated in that war, and I saved the ocean from evaporating..."
Hearing this, Moli's eyes reddened, because every sentence, every word her mother described seemed to portray Fischer's end. She just found it unbearable, unable to accept such a fate,
"But Mother, you were once the mighty Ocean Emperor who terrified the seas. Are you going to become a coward now? I don't want to be that kind of Whale-man, I don't want to hide!"
