Ilakiki has grown tired of fighting the war that has raged for three lifetimes between the land and the sea. So when the Sea Queen announces that it is at last time to talk of peace, Ilakiki is a natural choice to be part of the retinue to accompany the Sea Queen to the land.
But the Sea Queen's presence on land is not the gesture of peace Ilakiki hoped it would be. Bad blood runs deep between the land and the sea, and not everyone is as eager as Ilakiki for the war to end — including, perhaps, the Sea Queen herself. |
