the ending of the sea-oriented tribe in Japan
April 25, 1185
“Where’re we goin’, Gran’ma?” a boy in the biggest boat asked. Women around him were wearing twelve-layered silk gowns. Ten thick clothes covered mist like two. Each women composed her own color rhythm by showing the hems of necks, sleeves, and trails.
“A palace under the sea for you, Your Majesty An-toku.” She held the O-Kimi in her arms and went into the water with the Dragon Sword.
Warriors and other noble families in five hundred boats followed the six-year-old O-Kimi.
