>>5373916>>5373611>>5373519>>5373495With enough time passed, you've finally recovered fully. Though you'll bear some gnarly scars from your battle with the merman king, that is nothing new and just more additions to the scars across your body from many other battles in your life, not all of them victorious either.
Feeling back to your usual strength and self then, you're even feeling a little stir crazy. You'd like to swim freely for awhile and get the feeling back, being able to move your body fully without pain or restraint. First though you have to fetch your Atlantean statue, that you last had when you attacked Emil's ship. Easy enough to find from the sea floor, and with it you can finally break the shackles chaining you and Faysal together, as nothing else would have sufficed.
<span class="mu-b">"So you've seen me, and that king..."</span> you speak between swings of the statue into the shackles, as enough bashes of orichalcum against itself will break them, <span class="mu-b">"...seen what warriors the ocean has, what great warriors are there among you humans, on land?"</span>
<span class="mu-s">"Aside from myself, you wonder?"</span>
The reason you ask, is because of your combat with King Idaios and how, despite inferior strength he was able to beat you because of weapon skill. For you, just smashing with your fists and ripping with your teeth was always enough, but in these present-times maybe it would benefit you to learn how to fight with a weapon? Hence your desire for your Atlantean statue, both for its default use as a weapon but also potentially what it could be turned into... imagining pieces of armor, like the merman King had.
