Your own body felt foreign to you, and you could never tell why. Being outcast as a child due to a deformity, you grew up without culture, rather you remained a blank slate. But you knew there was something out there, bigger and grander than anything you could ever imagine. And you felt close to whatever it was.
Growing up close to reef people, you were never really given a chance to connect with the people, till one day when you spotted large shadows overhead. Curiosity would get the better of you, and you'd check it out. It was a family, seeking uturu, sanctuary. The longer you looked at them, the more curious you grew. And you found yourself seeking out members of the family, curious as to who they might be, and the story of why they came. Alongside them, you learn the way of water, learning the way of the people and hopefully gaining a community.
