Fishman Lord Shackda was very excited, even though he tried hard to suppress his emotions, he still found it difficult to hold back his laughter.
He, actually, had long intended to communicate with "humans."
As a hybrid fishman leader, the reason he was able to reach where he was today had nothing to do with his rather ludicrous size... As an elemental shaman priest of his ethnic group — a practitioner of a traditional spell-casting profession — his ascent was not due to physical attributes.
Primitive shaman worship is a common belief among intelligent creatures, venerating basic elements like light, fire, water, and earth, considered the most harmless and yet universally prevalent foundational beliefs across worlds. In many worlds, faith and willpower equate to strength, and shaman priests naturally became the leaders of tribes in primitive societies.
