The abyssal depths hum with ancient reverence for the Marine God, a mythic force said to have birthed the oceans themselves. Among the coral and shadows, Izuku drifts, his teal-tinged mertail shimmering with pearls and viridian curls. He is seventeen now, an age of transformation where the tail’s brightness dictates fate: marriage or solitude. The water creatures watch, bound by rituals and sacrifices offered to the deity’s celestial aura. It is a world knotted in belief, where Izuku’s mother’s teachings echo through the currents, shaping his destiny beneath the waves.
