"Well, the story goes like this. The Lurking Waters of Death originally was not called that. It was actually a beautiful lake that had a beautiful palace built underneath." Sylvie started to tell the story.

"Why was there a palace built underneath the lake?" Chad started asking questions right away.

​​

"I was going to tell you… Why are you asking a question not even a minute in?" Sylvie replied as she got annoyed.

"Ehh… Sorry about that. I won't ask then…" Chad said as he could feel stares burning his back from the adventurers. As he caused her to stop her storytelling.

Sylvie too could also feel stares. However, they didn't burn her back. They were just stares of curiosity as they wanted to hear her continue the story. Satisfying the stares, she continued the story.

"The palace was actually built for a sea god, you see. It was a water dragon, no surprise that it would be worshipped as a god. Since dragons are typically known as the strongest in the world after all." Sylvie said as she continued her story.

"It lived in peace as it protected the lake from any potential dangers. This had also shielded mankind from any threats such as a baby Kraken."

"However, one day it all changed. Humans were greedy and wanted to kill the dragon. A dragon's blood contains a lot of mana essence. Thus, being able to allow people who consume it to gain considerable strength. It is also something alchemists can use to produce strong potions too."

"The scales of a dragon and claws too could be used to make strong equipment. Such as a sword and armor. And with all of that, it could make one potentially stand at the top of the world. Thus, they all banded together and started to bombard the 'sea god' with attacks."

"However, humans did not know that the sea god was friends with the hero party. The dragon had originally met with them and provided them with a blessing that allowed them to move easily underwater."

"The heroes were the ones that got dwarves to build the palace for the dragon to live in. The dwarves were also blessed too, of course."

"So, in the end, under the countless attacks from humans. The sea dragon eventually collapsed. However, with it no longer protecting the lake, sea creatures and monsters started to surface."

"The humans started to regret their decisions when they realized this. However, it was already too late. What was done, was done. There was no reversing this fact."

"However, it had still wanted to protect the lake with all it could. Thus, once in a while, the dead sea dragon's screech would resonate scaring the creatures away."

"And that is the end of the legend that I read in the library I guess." Sylvie said as she shrugged her shoulders. She then turned to look at every one.

"Err… Why are you all crying?" She asked them puzzledly.

"This is just my sweat! Men sweat from our eyes!" The men said as they rubbed their eyes.

"Wuuu… Such a sad story! The sea dragon didn't deserve that!" The women sobbed as they hugged each other for comfort.

'What the heck? It was just a legend… A tragedy, not a sad story!' Sylvie thought inside her head before looking away from them.
