“A little about myself, hm?” I say as I look outside the window. “Well, to begin I didn’t know rumors of me existed, but if they’re anything like the rumors surrounding the Cyclops’ I will disprove them now. While it’s true I keep my kingdom’s walls shut, it is for the safety of our people. We are fairly self-reliant, so there is no need to stick our necks out for anything.”

“As for me specifically, I would say I’m a fair ruler, though I am but one man, and there is only so much I can do. We do have the occasional civil disobedience, but such is the way of the Cyclops’ stubbornness. In truth, I thought I wouldn’t be accepted,” I turn to Beatrix, who smiles at me, “Yet, I was.”

I turn back to Atlawa, “Now Atlawa, I have a question for you. As we made it aboard this boat, I noted your kingdom is indeed very large, and with its tall and beautiful structures that are part of the towering trees, it is not afraid to show its wealth or its love for nature.”

“But there is one thing about all this that bothers me, and it’s a part of that which we are in. You came to be a peaceful, nonviolent leader that teaches forgiveness; then what is this ship and why is your army so large? I can’t help but be skeptical of such a message when the pride of your Navy is a ship with countless cannons. What enemies do you deal with that your allies cannot back you and you need such a massive fighting force?”
