62 Heart Warming Welcome (2/2)
It seems like Aghus hated Elric not just because he trespassed but also of his humanity.
Raising his head higher with a condescending stare, Aghus continued.
”You litter the ocean with your dirty thrash, you poison us to death including the small ones and destroy the homes of my kind. And now, you dare to come to the domain of the Water Elemental? I don't care if that stupid bird sent you here. You are not welcome!”
As much as Elric would like to defend his humanity, he was afraid that talking back with anger would only worsen the current situation. He decided to bow down and humble himself.
”On behalf of our human race, I would like to ask for your forgiveness, Lord of the Water Elementals.” Raising his head, he added: ” While it is true that we, as humans, have done a considerable amount of damage to your kind; I would like to assure you that we also have people who are aware of this and are doing their best in protecting the ocean and your kind. That is why we made laws that protect the oceans and several species of your kind to maintain or at least bring back the balance in the world. It might not be much, but if you give us more time, we should be able to restore how the ocean used to be and-”
”Silence! The damage you humans have done is irreversible. You are here to pay for the sins of your kind! Take him!”
Elric was unable to continue explaining when Kuys threw away a small white rock before Elric which suddenly transformed into a giant clam straight out from the sand.
”What the-” Elric was surprised at the sudden appearance of the white giant Clam, and it suddenly lunged forward and devoured him like a fish caught in the mouth of a gigantic whale.
This giant clam was big enough like a small room and Elric was devoured inside for their custody. Elric knew that he must be patient for now and see where they are taking him.
For at least, the Lord of the Water Elemental doesn't seem to plan to kill him - or yet. Rather, they have plans to punish him and Elric was mentally preparing himself for such.
