[She doesn't need to say it was the most terrifying thing that ever happened to her - it comes through in her voice.
And really, who wouldn't be terrified of Leviathan in her full glory, rising from the wreckage of a tidal wave?]
She called me, I don't know how. I went down to the shore and found you there - curled up together in a single cradle, perfectly unharmed. The cradle was...
[A deep breath.]
It was like the old runes against daemons, on the havens, except in reverse. I took it to the priests later, and they said it was warded against sunlight. And the rest of it - it was decorated with moons made out of shell.
[...Yeah, Izunia looks terribly pale, now, and presses his hand to his face.]

Do you still have it?
No. I gave it back to the sea as soon as I could.
