Maybe though this needs correcting... get to the bottom of all this.It's times like this where having disciples really could have benefited you, able to extend your will through subordinates to find out about issues like this one here, and bring it to your attention sooner. Your mother had as much sense, for you and your siblings to prowl the oceans in her name. Otherwise, who knows what other insults to you go unchecked across the seas or land? You can't be everywhere at once after all.
For now though, you are here, and you will see to this matter personally.
<span class="mu-s">"Ah, hey! Hold on now, who goes th-"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"-AAAH! S-Sound the... alarm?! What do we do?!"</span>
You're not sure where you should go or what you should be looking for, but swimming directly for the ruins seems as good an idea as any! A good while before you reach any ruins at all, aquatic folk and sea life coming and going from the settlement notice you from afar and react in their own varying ways, from curiosity to fear to indifference... mostly fear.
Where you actually do reach the outer ruins finally, you encounter some mermen guards who'd been lazing about on the job. Out of habit they try and stop anything coming with such a huge water displacement, but when they actually afford you focus they panic, as you set down on the weathered stony streets of the old city.
<span class="mu-s">"-stand, err... swim to attention you bastards! Is this any way to greet your Queen? Where is the reception?! I have seen better welcome from- ah... a uh... sunken ship, ha-HA!"</span>
Now that you're standing rather than swimming, Faysal has to hang onto your shoulder rather than just sit on your back, but to your annoyed surprise he pushes himself up and starts barking orders at the guards and loudly enough through the water (capable only because of your rendering him aquatic) for any of the slowly gathering sea life to hear.
