Furis rolled his eyes. "Then what do you want me to do? Just quit and let a legacy die?"
Legacy? Seriously... I could never understand people and their obession with their past, their glory, their history. It all felt meaningless, what would your past achievements amount to in present? Nothing!
It was all but a meaningless façade created by those who couldn't see their incompetence. Hiding behind the mask of ignorance, veiling their own shortcomings. Instead of improving, they strive to be respected for things they have never done.
Associating themselves with other successful people, groups and associations. To get a moment of gratification.
I tilted my head. "Does a legacy matter more than your people's lives?"
Furis's eyes bulged for a moment, but he forced himself to calm down. "It's not that… it does matter, that's why I want to stop them. They quite literally can't live without help from the other tailed merfolk. Away from Aquis Vanlur, they won't survive."
