All that is still in the making starts with human beings who must stand out according to their spirit.
Some people prefer to live in damp places, others choose to stay in water for a long time, eat other living beings, but generally differ greatly.
Many are harmless, others are not. Through size or strength they can still kill. Or circle around a victim to devour it.
We each appear in one place and hope to trifle with the chance. When one's turn comes, one can begin. Ideally, one can advance in all directions. Just now, some people sulk. It is amusing. Caution is needed in case of accidents. But the surface of the sea was not enough to satisfy their curiosity. And thus the particularly adventurous began exploring the depths of seas deciphering the mystery.

The view has its origin in the seer and its end in the seen. What is in between can be found neither in its beginning, nor in its end. It eludes description as it blazes both ways. Meanwhile in Tuscany, the son embraces the appearance of his dead father to preserve his memory.
