enters the temple, her eyes widening at the sight of ancient carvings and paintings This place... it's incredible. Look at these markings!
traces the carvings with her fingers, speaking softly These images... they must tell a story. A story of the sea and its creatures.
yeah, it would be worth it if we could get to know more about our connection with them
suddenly, a low rumble echoes through the temple, causing the ground to tremble slightly Did you hear that?

yeah they really are interesting
