Sure, and the same is true for mine. But the legends inspire books and theater, and on Earth, movies. And this - if this is from Earth, I don't think it's real, but must be some type of art of theirs. We're lucky, here, we get to learn the mythology of other worlds.

[And that's pretty cool, isn't it? A lot of it is so much more vibrant than the stories he was told as a kid. Imagine growing up in a world where a girl with fishman powers travels from island to island, guided by powerful figures who help her on her journey? Sure, some islands at home probably have tales like this too, good stories about growth and adventure and integrity, but those weren't the ones that passed through his family.

His parents would have liked stories like this, though, he thinks. Would have preferred myths like these to tell to him and his brother, all those years ago.]
