"Ach, perhaps for a sea serpent, a decade is just a fleeting moment," reflected Liszt, having not only calculated Ach's adulthood but also estimated the length of its life.
Forty-one plus twelve equals fifty-three.
Reaching adulthood at the age of fifty-three, and comparing it to human adulthood at sixteen and a lifespan of a hundred years, the lifespan of a sea serpent is roughly three hundred and thirty years.
A greater elf lives for two hundred years, while a dragon elf lives for five hundred years, with the lifespan of a sea serpent falling somewhere between.
Three hundred and thirty years; with one generation every twenty-five years, humans might have nurtured more than a dozen generations. If Liszt hadn't become the Dragon Domain Landlord, perhaps it would have been the son of his grandson's grandson's grandson attending Ach's funeral. Thinking about it that way, it was quite amusing.
