Banxia suddenly felt uncomfortable. She seemed to hate being touched by her own kind, so she quickly wagged her tail and swam away: "Lord Sea God, I also want to avenge my kind!"
Poseidon laughed heartily: "Revenge is a matter for us adults. You cubs should just eat meat and grow up obediently."
Banxia spat out a water arrow, unconvinced: "I'm very powerful!"
The blue whale chimed in, "Lord Sea God, we've heard that humans aren't even as big as our fins, so what's there to be afraid of?"
A sinister glint flashed in Poseidon's eyes: "The terrifying thing about humanity lies not in its size, but in its foul and greedy hearts. Remember, never be kind to any human, for they are incapable of gratitude. Especially you—"
It looked at Banxia and said, “Banxia, I know that you orcas are naturally fond of humans, but things are different now. We are separated from humans by a life-or-death feud that could have wiped out our species. Helping humans is to harm our own kind.”
Banxia nodded firmly: "Lord Sea God, please rest assured, I will absolutely not help humans!"
She playfully poked at the dark, foul-smelling seawater with her fins, recalling the words of her elders—that the seawater used to be a clear blue.
Blue, the color of the sky.
Banxia imagined herself soaring through the sky, and couldn't help but sing with joy: "Ying ying ying!"
The sea god looked at the lively and adorable cub with loving eyes, tilted his head back, and responded loudly, "Eeeeeeeee!"
The battle for revenge will be won!
The battle for revenge lasted a very long time, so long that Banxia forgot about time.
“Banxia,” the orca calf found Banxia, who was playing on her belly out of boredom, “I miss my sister.”
The older sister of the blue whale calf has just come of age this year and has been chosen by the Sea God to be the vanguard of the war of revenge.
Banxia rolled over: "Nana, the Sea God forbids us to leave the sea."
Nana rested her head on Banxia's body and said coquettishly, "But I really haven't seen my sister for so long."
It blew a bubble, "My sister said it would come home after I slept for ninety minutes, but I've slept for two ninety-minute periods already, and it still hasn't come home. Will you come with me to find my sister? Please~"
Banxia hesitated for two seconds: "Okay."
For some reason, after waking up from her sleep six months ago, she suddenly became full of curiosity about the human world.
However, when the two audacious cubs secretly swam to the coastline, they discovered that the battlefield between the sea creatures and the human race was not there.
Looking at the piles of garbage and ruins on the beach, Banxia suddenly lost interest and had no more interest in humans.
She exhaled a giant bubble and leaped into it: "Nana, let's go back."
Nana gazed longingly at the distant land: "I miss my sister so much!"
It looked at its smooth belly and sighed, "If only I had legs like my sister."
With legs, it can go ashore to find its sister.
Banxia sternly stopped her: "Nana, don't talk nonsense!"
"Long legs" is a taboo topic for all sea creatures, so Nana probably wants to get beaten up!
Nana playfully sprayed out a jet of water: "But Banxia, in the entire ocean, only you and I are without legs. Don't you think we look particularly strange?"
Banxia tried her best to refute: "The Sea God said that whales are not supposed to have legs."
Nana snorted, "It must be lying to us on purpose because it's afraid we'll be sad because we're different!"
Banxia was speechless. On one hand, she felt that Nana's words made sense, but on the other hand, she had a vague feeling that whales without legs were the normal ones.
If she couldn't figure it out, she simply stopped thinking about it and quickly pulled Nana back to swim away: "Let's go home."
Nana glanced longingly at the land, then followed Banxia dejectedly.
Days passed, and long enough for Banxia and Nana to grow several times taller and heavier before the Sea God slowly led his people back.
“Little ones,” the sea god lovingly patted Banxia and Nana’s heads with his fin, “we’re back!”
“Lord Sea God,” Nana nuzzled the Sea God’s belly, “Where is my sister? Didn’t she come home with you?”
Banxia counted the number of her people and then asked, "Lord Sea God, when will the sperm whales, dolphins, sharks, lobsters, king crabs, jellyfish... return?"
The sea god's eyes held a sorrow the cubs couldn't comprehend: "When you grow up, they will return."
"Waaah—" Nana burst into tears upon hearing this, "I want my sister! I want my sister!"
If it doesn't see its sister again, it will forget what her sister looks like.
The sea god quickly embraced Nana with his fins and whispered soothingly, "Nana, be good. Your sister is busy avenging her people. You're a good child, so don't disturb your sister while she's doing her work."
“Lord Sea God,” Nana said tearfully, hugging the sea god and pleading, “Please take me ashore to find my sister, okay? I miss her, please.”
The sea god resolutely refused: "You are still a cub, you must not come ashore."
"Waaah—"
Nana burst into tears again.
Banxia felt sorry for Nana and quickly patted her with her tail: "Nana, promise the Sea God that you will come back after seeing Sister Feifei and will definitely not disturb it while it is doing its work."
Nana sobbed and promised, "Lord Sea God, you can just let me see my sister from afar. I promise I won't disturb it while it's doing its work."
However, the Sea God was determined not to let the cubs come ashore, and no matter how much Banxia and Nana pleaded, he refused. Instead, he ordered his people to keep a close watch on the two cubs and not let them get any closer to the shoreline. Then, he led the newly-adult members of his people back to the battlefield.
After the sea god left, Banxia and Nana's lives returned to normal. The only difference was that Nana, who used to be very talkative, suddenly became more composed.
When it practices its superpowers, it no longer slacks off; it never rests until it has squeezed out every last bit of energy from its body.
Banxia advised it to balance work and rest, but it earnestly replied, "Banxia, my sister hasn't come back for so long, it must be because humans are too troublesome. I will work hard to practice my superpowers and become stronger, grow up and eliminate humans so that my sister can come home."
As it spoke, it began to wipe away tears, "I've forgotten what my sister looks like."
Banxia remained silent. A few days ago, she overheard her people whispering that Sister Feifei, sperm whales, dolphins, sharks, lobsters, king crabs, jellyfish... all the brothers and sisters who had played with them could no longer go home because they had all died at the hands of humans.
Time flew by again, and Nana, who was three years older than her, came of age and was about to go to the battlefield.
Banxia went to see her off: "Nana, I want to go to the battlefield with you."
Nana was the last friend she knew well.
As an adult, Nana's eyes were filled with determination. She gently patted Banxia's head with her fin and said the comforting words that the sea god had spoken to her a few years ago: "Revenge is a matter for us adults. The cubs should just eat meat and grow up obediently."
No, I am not a cub!
Banxia suddenly opened her eyes.
