Whale fall - tears

Hmmm~~~Hum~~

With the whale owner's slightly sad roar, a mourning ceremony began.

At the head of the giant whale, where the children received enlightenment, a group of people stood outside, an old woman dressed in red, standing in the position of a woman who had disappeared for the child's enlightenment, and she was different from the woman whose crutches were studded with a red jewel.

The woman looked sheepishly at the endless deep sea in front of the whale lord, and could not see a single wave of emotion in her turquoise eyes, as if she were just looking ahead, but her eyes were filled with a deep light like the sea, as if her gaze had crossed the endless ocean and seen more distant places.

As the sun shone through the water and fell on the gemstones, a young woman dressed in gray-white shark skin stepped onto the stage and whispered in the woman's ear in red

"Whitefish Priest, it's time to send off the Priest of the Wise"

The WhiteFish Priest nodded and waved her hand slightly, and the woman immediately bowed her head and stepped back.

When the woman stepped down, the Whitefish Priest put her crutches on the ground, raised her hands high, and began to chant ancient poems, and when the song sounded, the whole city seemed to fall to a standstill.

Ancient words echoed through the city, and the song that had been born from time seemed to carry endless magic, and it crossed the city and through the body of the giant whale, so that all people could hear the sound.

The whale owner also roared at this moment, and the last time it heard this ancient song was hundreds of years ago.

People heard the voices kneeling down on one knee and chanting along with them.

Those unconscious children, although their eyes were closed at the moment, but the corners of their eyes were already flooded with tears, tears crossed their cheeks, turning into pearls falling on their pillows.

Many people wept in this chant, but they did not stop singing.

The whole whale was once again glowing blue, and the starlight was moving closer to the whale, the song became more and more loud, and the blue light converged into a stream of light, merging into the body of the whale, and when the last bit of light melted in, the song stopped.

The Whitefish Priest lowered her hands, and the red gem on the crutch in front of her had now turned blue, and she stroked it and turned off the stage.

The young woman immediately stepped forward and handed the Whitefish Priest a brand new cane, except that the jewel on the crutches was only a faint pink, and the Whitefish Priest picked it up and left without looking, followed by the young woman.

The people outside the Land of Enlightenment also bowed in the direction of the blue gem, and everyone left.

The whole city of the whale was back in motion again, and everyone was busy again.

The departure of a priest, the end of an ancient story, the tears on the side of the cane are also telling her longing and reluctance.

Three days passed. The enlightened teenagers also gradually woke up, their parents were waiting by their side, and the moment they woke up, they received a string of pearl necklaces from their parents, which they knew meant that they had officially entered the juvenile age. It's just that among them, there is a teenager who is different from a young girl, and their necklace is mixed with a transparent gem.

When all the teenagers woke up, they got together again, and they were brought before the woman in red, who swept over everyone and finally stopped at the young girl with the jewel necklace, who reached out and nodded at the jewel on their chest and said

"Guard this glory on your chest."

Then turning her head and walking toward the whale's tail, the young woman immediately organized everyone to follow.

Near the whale's tail there is a large pool, which is also shrouded in bubbles, but the water flowing from both sides of the whale's tail flows through the coral wall into the pool, and then flows out of the other end of the pool.

The whitefish priest led the children to a relatively slow stream, said the young woman behind her

"Here the priest of the wise man should have told you that the last trial of the rite of passage determines your future, the time of an incense plant, those who cross the red flag enter the deep blue hall, those who cross the blue flag enter the blood shark hall, those who cross the yellow flag enter the palace life hall, and those who do not cross the flag enter the hundred karma hall."

The diversion pool, which is a once in a lifetime, determines the direction of the next six years or even a lifetime according to the results of each person, and the young girls are also looking at the turbulent water in front of them, nervously swallowing, but looking at the flag opposite the water flow, they are a little trembling with excitement.

"Jump!" The Whitefish Priest shouted, and in the diversion pool into which the young girls jumped, at the moment they jumped in, they grew webs on their hands and feet again, and gills appeared behind their ears, except for some people who were overly nervous and were blown away in an instant, most of them advanced a little against the current.

Two of them, young boys and girls with jewel necklaces, instantly opened up the gap with everyone after entering the water, and they easily crossed the red flag of the fiercest current.

All the teenagers are also very excited, desperately swimming forward, only one teenager looks at the flag is not the flag, the two people in his eyes, the young boy and girl who happily hug each other after getting the flag, his eyes are very complicated, there is joy, there is sadness, there is unwillingness, more is that he does not want to lose.

He remembered that a long time ago, the three people who had been scheduled to be together forever were now the difference between cloud mud and mud.

The teenager paddled very hard, his feet desperately pedaling, and some people were constantly surpassed by him, and many people surpassed him. He didn't care about everything around him at all, just looked at the two people on the side of the red flag gritting their teeth and swimming forward desperately, unconsciously he had surpassed the blue flag, but the red flag was getting farther and farther away from him, his hands and feet had long been numb, but his persistence made him still waving his hands and feet, but he didn't find that no matter how hard he tried, he had stopped where he was, unable to move forward, nor could he retreat.

A flash of time passed, and when the teenager was fished up, people found that he had lost consciousness.

Only when he was fished up, a pearl also rushed into the sea with the current and slowly sank towards the bottom of the sea

Marine Trivia:

Balaenoptera physalus , also known as balaenoptera physalus , also known as balaenoptera , fin whale , and whale , is an aquatic mammal in the genus Baleen whale. It is the second largest genus of baleen whales in the world, after the blue whale in the genus Fin whale.

Fin whales are spindle-shaped, about 25 metres long and weigh a maximum of about 110 tonnes. Single or 2 to 3 animals move together, migrating to cold waters in the summer to ask for bait, and winter to breed in warm seas. The food is krill, bran shrimp, copepods and other small crustaceans, but also eat herring, saury, striped fish and other swimming fish. It is mainly distributed in Antarctic waters.

Fin whales were heavily fished during the 20th century and are still endangered. On 14 November 2018, the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (IUCN Red List) was updated, and fin whales were reduced from "endangered" to "vulnerable", mainly due to the ban on whaling.
