And in the distant deep sea, those huge blue eyes slowly closed.
It sees that child's choices.
I saw the struggle, I saw the determination, I saw the glimmer of humanity shining through the darkness of divinity.
Very interesting, it thought.
Then check it out, kid.
See how long your "human heart" can last under the erosion of "divine blood".
See how long your "love" can last under the temptation of "power".
See where your "persistence" can go in the torrent of "destiny".
It turned over and fell asleep again in the silence of the deep sea.
Waiting for the next tide.
Waiting for the next call.
Waiting for the day when that child walks in front of it.
And that day won't be too far away.
