Eric, Stefan, Commander Alia and even King Michael were all on small boats, searching for Mogranius. They all thought him as dead. The Spearfishermen witnessed a 1500kg Swordfish dragging Mogranius down the Ocean. Everyone could put two and two together to calculate his unfortunate fate.But they aren"t at all certain of the abnormal fate Mogranius brought upon himself. They don"t know that his 300 year old father told the Swordfish to drag Mogranius a kilometer underwater. Even if they heard it, they would never believe it, not to mention spreading such a story with anyone without being called insane.
"Do you think that we can at least find his body?"
Asked Eric.
"I doubt it, Swordfish are carnivores. They eat meat, he is likely dragged down an underwater den, saved for food if he wasn"t consumed right away."
Said King Michael who was in a small boat with Eric.
"So even if he died, the chances of finding his dead body is a case above rare?"
Followed up Eric with another question. He was in large grief about his Mentor. They managed to build up a good connection, and just to lose him. For a boy who barely had any friends before he became the Electus, this is extraordinarily hard for him to take in.
"We would be lucky if we found the same fish. If that fish managed to grow that big, it surely knows where to feed. It is no doubt smarter than average fish."
Said King Michael. Although he did not want to make Eric feel worse, he just has to much knowledge and loves to express his knowledge whenever he gets the chance.
"What does a fish"s overall intelligence has to do with this situation Michael?"
In a bit of rage followed by grief, Eric was sure losing his patience which isn"t good at all. If he wants to defeat the remaining Inner Demons, he needs to keep his rage under control and not to mention his patience.
"I mean, that fish figured out that Humans stay around these fis.h.i.+ng waters. Meaning, it will come again when it gets hungry. Mogranius was but a snack for a Fish that large. This will likely mess with the Kingdom"s main food supply."
"My friend is dead and you are thinking of the food supply? Don"t test my patience Michael."
"Although I do feel grief for Mogranius, I also have sympathy for your situation. But i am a King, it is my responsibility to make sure that these 400 people don"t starve to death. Gaster Kingdom is already bad as it is. We don"t need a foot shortage. Do you understand sir Eric?"
Eric wanted to reply but he felt himself that what he was about to say would no doubt be harsh. He hasn"t had enough control over his feelings lately. His destiny is pus.h.i.+ng him to the edge so he refused to reply.
It"s better to not speak than to speak bad at this point. Arguing is pointless.
"Wait. Am i going insane? The waters must have gotten me dizzy!"
Yelled King Michael in both excitement, fear, happiness, and a will to shed tears of joy.
"What? What are you talking about?"
Said Eric after he dropped a tear on the Sea Water while refusing to move even an inch while looking at his reflection.
"Just look up G.o.dd.a.m.nit!"
"What the actual...Is that?"
"It couldn"t be. This is impossible!"
Added King Michael in shock and happiness topped up with self doubt. He didn"t trust his own eyes, or Eric"s eyes either. Because Eric was seeing the same thing as he was.
"Is that Mogranius riding a G.o.dd.a.m.n Swordfish?"
Yelled Eric in confusion as he flew away out of the boat, leaving King Michael floating on the sea waters alone. What if a Swordfish dragged him too?!
Eric tried to reach Mogranius but Becky was to fast for Eric to catch on, especially since he started flying from a nearly 80 yard Distance from Becky and he was 300 yards away from the sh.o.r.e.
Commander Alia saw as well what Eric and King Michael saw, she didn"t believe her eyes either but she no doubt didn"t waste even a second once she had a small theory of Mogranius actually surviving the attack.
She lost patience, she couldn"t nearly wait until She and Woldemir beach the boat, especially as Stefan acting sort of like dead weight. He is 5 foot tall after all. they were over a 150 yards away from the sh.o.r.e.
She jumped out of the boat and swam her way to the sh.o.r.e.
Her excitement was so great that she swam 150 yards in roughly a bit over a minute and her willpower didn"t let her get tired at all, not to mention she is in pique physical form even though considering she is 300 years old.
As she arose from the Sea Waters, she quickly ran towards what seemed to be Mogranius and her theory proved correct.
What rode the Swordfish was indeed Mogranius and as he turned around, in a blink of an eye he got tackled by Commander Alia which sent them flying for 3 feet before landing on the sand able to break most of the fall.
Commander Alia broke down in tears of joy and kept crying in front of everyone over his naked body but none of the main group members were there to witness it. It contained a crowd mostly of Fishermen and Spearfishermen. She cried in that crowd while hugging Mogranius tight. It was heartwarming to see but it was a bit hard as well. The strict lady who barely jokes around or smiles, broke down in tears of joy. She likely never did or experienced anything like this before.
Eric after finally arriving, jumped over the couple as well but he wasn"t crying even though he felt the urge too.
"Alright alright. Calm down you two. I"m well and alive but i do have a h.e.l.l of a story to tell!"
He said as he was hugging Commander Alia and patting Eric"s back.
