Totoka River 그 안에 숨겨진 비밀을 알게된 것 같아

The sea creature's eyes flashed in the pain of a still-raw wound being torn into; pain so deep that it could not be held in her heart alone, and Marbas felt the sting of it even from where he stood, several feet away. Understanding gripped him all at once, and he felt chastened in a way he'd never known, and a shame welled up within him greater than any misdeed had brought forth from him before.

It didn't feel like enough, but what did he have that this beautiful woman would want? If she wants to lead me to my death in the salt waters, she is going about it the right way. "Take my tongue, if you need it. It is my pleasure to be of service to the spirits of the sea."
