their form is not one oft presented to the mortals of the unterzee, especially not outsiders who have wandered so far. their status aside, they did not enjoy donning the appearance of one of them. even still, they watch him with great curiosity, wonder at the gentleness with which he regards the rare flowers at blossom within the zee's mountains. this is their sister's territory, where nature thrives in the midst of a dark abyss, despite everything.
"this is the only place in the zee where the sunlight still reaches. it is different from the sun of the surface, i believe. but it is the closest zailors will ever know. londoners as a whole, even." they would not call it artificial, exactly. but it was not the sun proper. simply a blessing. regardless, it allows such bright flowers to bloom. "to bring a mortal to this place is beyond a blessing. millions of your people will seek this field in their lifetime, and nearly all of them will die. it is ... sacred."
