After a long discussion, some Fishmen chose to remain on the island, seemingly untroubled by the looming danger, while most agreed to leave the place they had called home for so long.
Castiel also wished to stay to protect those Fishmen who remained. But he realized this wasn't the right decision. He didn't want to jeopardize his friends' safety, knowing his current strength wasn't enough to thwart the evil plans of their enemies.
So, he decided to return to Ladder Zwerge with his companions. As they prepared for departure, a familiar young Fishman girl approached Castiel. Tugging at his sleeve, she spoke softly.
"Sir, can I come with you? Please, take me. I'll do anything to be useful."
Castiel knelt, resting his hands gently on her shoulders.
"Are you willing to leave your companions behind? Besides, your parents won't allow it. They'll miss you."
The girl's demeanor turned somber, and she bit her lower lip.
