Once he had arrived at the docks of Warth Woodlands, Akua was able to acquire a boat destined for the island of Galuna. it was a simple rowboat with Akua and the sailor. Akua did not speak to the sailor during his trip, he was too focused on the island itself. Once it had come into view, Akua said to the sailor, "This is far enough. I would ask that you wait for a few moments and, no matter what happens, do not leave this position. Trust me." The man was confused, as they had not yet reached the island, but Akua just jumped off the boat, and into the water. The man was confused and stayed, hoping the strange boy was okay and knew what he was doing.
Akua could easily breathe underwater, being trained by the Goddess of Water, and so he began to pray under the ocean. "O mighty Aquanis, mother of all. I have almost reached the island of Galuna, the place where the Water dragon roams while I speak. I ask for your blessing before I fight the beast, as it may be my last battle. Respond to me mother."
Just then, a voice sounded in the water, "First off. Do not tell me what to do, or there'll be two dragons you'll be facing off against. Secondly, yes you have my blessing and all that. I'm sure you'll win. And finally, if you do lose, then you don't deserve to be the Water God Slayer anyway. The God Slayers were created to defeat Gods. The God Slayers are stronger than the Dragon Slayers, who in turn were created to destroy dragons. So you have the advantage, and shouldn't lose, or else I'll make you work in the afterlife. See you later, either in spirit or in this world. Farewell, and good luck my child."
With that said the voice disappeared, Akua swam back to the boat, and the sailor took him the rest of the way to the island, not asking what had just happened under the water.
