On planet 4546B a human survivor was no longer lonesome. They were now in care of 5 young Leviathans.

The sky shone azurite blue behind small fluffs of clouds. (Y/n) could feel the sun rays like a warm embrace around them, causing red streaks to cut the deep blue. Every wave was clothed in a million shimmering stars, which twinkled from a single move. The day was blazing hot.

(Y/n) would swim around the safe shallows - the very first place Aurora crashed in, and the very first place where they built their mini base as a temporary shelter. Now it was time to inhabit that base yet again. The tiny Sea emperors swam behind (L/n), like small whales who swam under their mother. Jeffery, Billy, Samwise, Marshall, and Sean all followed her/him throughout the biomes and awe at every little ounce of organic life.

"ᴹᵃᵐᵃ ʷʰᵃᵗ ᶦˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵗʰᶦⁿᵍ?

ᴼᵒʷ ʷʰᵃᵗ'ˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ? ᴵᵗ'ˢ ˢʰᶦⁿʸ?

ᴵᵗ'ˢ ˢᵒ ᵇᵉᵃᵘᵗᶦᶠᵘˡ, ʷʰᵉʳᵉ ᵃʳᵉ ʷᵉ?"

They would mumble and coo at every move within the ocean, like the wondrous adventurers that they are! (Y/n)(L/n) smiled, looking back at those kids - Their cyan eyes are more brilliant than (y/n) could have dreamed they would be, their paddle-like claws are small, more delicate. They were tiny, light within the human's embrace, as their little tendrils wobbled aimlessly.

"Do you want to see what these shiny stones and plants are?" (Y/n)'s enthusiasm would radiate onto the younglings which brought even more excitement to their little bright eyes. "ʸᵉˢ! ʸᵉˢ! ᴵ ʷᵃⁿᵗ ᵗᵒ ˢᵉᵉ, ᴵ ʷᵃⁿᵗ, ᴵ ʷᵃⁿᵗ ᵗᵒᵒ!"

"These are rubies. They are hard stones but shine the brightest red!" - the 26-year-old (Gender) held a raw ruby, presenting it to the young leviathans "Aren't they marvelous? You can build different things with these... Oh, I wish I could show you a sapphire too."

"ᴼᵒᵒʰ, ᶦᵗ'ˢ ˢᵒ ᵖʳᵉᵗᵗʸ,

ᴵ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ʳᵉᵈ, ʷʰᵃᵗ ᶦˢ ʳᵉᵈ?

ᶜᵃⁿ ᴵ ᵗᵃˢᵗᵉ ᶦᵗ?"

As any mother would do, (Y/n) swam around different biomes, presenting all kinds of flora and materials - she/he showed every kind of iron, told about all kinds of stories about the hostile Leviathans that anyone would quiver in awe and fear. But it only brought more excitement within the young alien Sea Emperors.

And thus the adventure and curiosity began as they swam, from biome to biome. With simple yet flexible movements, the (Gender) dived in right in front the young children, taking in the lead to show them the ocean. Perhaps it was the Enzyme that powered the human, or just durability that they got through the 2 years of surviving on this hostile planet - but now, (Y/n) swam so easily that they cruised along the lanes for two hours with barely a reduction in speed or the feeling of tiredness

"Come on, kids. No slacking in the far back." Jeffrey, Billy, Samwise, Marshall, and Sean all glided behind, keeping track with their human 'parent'.

Through the days and night they wandered around, discovering new location and creatures, all the while (Y/n) kept focusing on finding the right material for their new project - the Neptune Escape Rocket.

While scavenging for materials, (Y/n) would see a Warper swimming nearby. Scanning infected fauna. It still brought great unease to the (gender) survivor as they remembered that they were hostile towards her/him in the past. But that was no more - now, the Warper would just stare at the human, unmoving, generating weird circuiting noises.

And just gradually leave afterward. (L/n) was still oblivious, but they were just relieved that it won't ever attack them or those innocent babies.

Furthermore, In these sultry days, even the ocean breeze is hot. A gentle draught of air whips over the waves, bringing a taste of the ocean with it. With such tranquilizing and lazy day, (Y/n) and the little Sea Emperor Leviathans would just relax within the Safe Shallows.

(Y/n) sat on the surface of Neptune's Launch Platform. It was grand and flat, creating a square surface to stand on. They sat at the edge, their feet dipped in the ocean water while they watched the sky above them. On days like this, it was the best to just lessen up and cherish the moment - to relax. (L/n) smiles back and stretch out their bare hand like a starfish. Their (skin-color) was no longer infected.

'ₘₐₐₐₐ! ₘₐₐₐₐ!' - Jeffrey, Billy, and Samwise rose up from the water, their heads peeking.

"Mhm?"

"ᴵˢ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵗʳᵘᵉ? ᵀʳᵘᵉ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ʸᵒᵘ'ʳᵉ ⁿᵒᵗ ˡᶦᵏᵉ ᵗʰᵉ ᵒᵗʰᵉʳ ᶜʳᵉᵃᵗᵘʳᵉˢ ᶦⁿ ᵗʰᵉ ᵒᶜᵉᵃⁿ?"

"Well... I don't look like wide-eyed peeper or a cuddle fish am I?"

"ᴮᵘᵗ, ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵐᵉᵃⁿˢ ʸᵒᵘ'ʳᵉ ⁿᵒᵗ ᶠᵒʳ ʰᵉʳᵉ! ᴵᵗ'ˢ ᵗʳᵘᵉ! ᴹᵃᵃᵃᵃ ᶦᵗ'ˢ ᵗʳᵘᵉ!" - The young ones giggled, their Aline laugh is contagious yet unique with deeper vocal. "ʸᵒᵘ ᵗᵒˡᵈ ᵘˢ ʸᵒᵘ ʷᵉʳᵉ ᶠʳᵒᵐ ᵃ ᵈᶦᶠᶠᵉʳᵉⁿᵗ ᵖˡᵃⁿᵉᵗ... ᵇᵉʸᵒⁿᵈ ᵃⁿʸ ˢᵗᵃʳˢ ᶠʳᵒᵐ ʰᵉʳᵉ ⁻ ᵀᵉʳᵃ."

"It's true," - for a moment, (Y/n) was surprised. She/he never mentioned the name 'Tera' - only the Ancient Sea Emperor did. "I was born there. A place so different and far away."

It is the unseen part of the shoreline that conjures more memories than the pebbles or the rusting titanium of the crashed Aurora. It howls in a low whistle, tossing (Y/n)'s hair every bit as rough as the ocean at their feet. It is the feel and taste of home.

'It's funny,' - thought (Y/n) to themselves 'I used to hate this planet with all my heart.'

And it's true, remembering the very first traumatic days being on this planet was now nothing but a faded dream. But now - this place is home. A comforting home for the human and their 5 baby emperors.

"ᴮᵘᵗ⁻ ᵇᵘᵗ ᵈᵒⁿ'ᵗ ʸᵒᵘ ᵐᶦˢˢ ʸᵒᵘʳ ʰᵒᵐᵉ?" - now all 5 of them were present, their snouts shining from being soaked in water. "Wɪʟʟ ʏᴏᴜ ʟᴇᴀᴠᴇ ᴜs?"

(L/n) closed their eyes to the lullaby of the ocean, breathing in its poignant salty breath. In all honesty, they didn't know.

"Oh, sweety... How can I leave you?"

As the sun and settled down, The Sunlight was gone. Through the moonlight of 4546B's two moons, comes the rhythmic pounding of the waves and the salty airbrushing gently over the skin, flicking any stress and trauma from the years gone by.

The Sea Emperor Babies all yawned with fatigues. Their little mandibles stretching upwards. (Y/n) is Their protector, and for as long as they live on this planet the (gender) human's love for those young Sea emperors will last for all time.
