Atlas followed behind Giant Grouper and realized that this place was its home, and its eggs floated around as the giant fish started tending to them. However, something struck him as he noticed the mana was off and felt sickly, which worried him.
'This feels like the Lost Prince that Amethyst and I met,' he mused. 'Maybe Chaos is affecting the underwater world?'
He grabbed one of them, which caused the giant fish Mom to spin on him with narrowed eyes, but Atlas explained, ''Your babies need mana. I'll provide it, but you must protect me from monsters while I work. After all, you've helped me—this is the least I can do in return.''
The giant fish looked at him before nodding and swimming to the entrance while keeping an eye on him. Atlas smiled at the friendly fish as he sent mana into the egg, causing it to glow. His mana started decimating the chaos-like essence that lingered inside.
