The voice carried a slight tremble, like a girl nervously encountering her beloved for the first time:
"Ugly, terrifying, fearsome monster..."
"No." Ron firmly interrupted her self-deprecation:
"This is a powerful, ancient, beautiful existence, worthy of everyone's reverence - the 'Eye of the Abyss'."
He did not shrink back, even took the initiative to approach, gently caressing those tentacles with open arms:
"I am proud to be able to be your child, and happy to receive your affection."
Nari's emotions surged like a tsunami.
She cautiously surrounded Ron with her softest, most harmless tentacles.
The force was as light as a feather brushing through the breeze, fearing any harm to him.
"My child... my true child..."
Her voice carried uncontrollable joy and satisfaction:
"Mother has waited so long... waited thousands of years... just to hear these words..."
Countless eyes simultaneously secreted crystalline liquid, pure crystallizations of happiness.
