### Dubbed

When sailing on the rough sea, people used to say that an evil monster who feeds on humans lived in the depths. Others would say that it was an angry god. Whatever lies in the deep ocean, as long as a victorious crusader returns, people would show their loyalty to him. At least, that's what the lords in the harbor thought.

The lord who liked to wage war and earn credits then ordered one of his advisors, Takamura, to initiate a battle along with his daughter. Days later, when the fleet returned, only Takamura and his daughter survived, along with a handful of crew members.

"My daughter chopped off the head of the evil monster. You can rest easy now." Takamura claimed loudly.

I held the head in my hand as I walked into the crowd, leaving bloody footprints in my wake.

A weak girl managing to slay a monster became a tale told in many cities, it even reached the royal court. Shortly afterwards, the daughter of the Takamura family was dubbed Suzuka Gozen, and was appointed as the lady who shall guard the harbor from sea monsters.

### Secret

The daughter of the Takamura family was already dead from suffering heavy wounds on the island.

The girl who returned to this land was me in disguise.

And I am that evil monster.

It wasn't easy to survive in this world, where only the strongest could survive. Even when I had conquered all the leaders of the sea, and stood at the top of all sea monsters, I saw many of my stalwart and fearsome men slain by a human girl with only a single blade.

When she found her weapons slippery, she torn down a cloth and wrapped it up. When her wounds wouldn't stop bleeding, she treated them with a red hot iron.

I used to think the reason the humans can occupy so vast a land was because of their warfare strategies and their tactics. But, when I was watching her, when she was protecting her soldiers regardless of the danger, I understood that it's not what's in their minds that has brought humans to where they are now. It's something engraved in their souls.

"Tell me why you're so powerful."

One of my foolish men ambushed her. She died in a pool of blood before I could get my answer...

To find answer to that secret, I chopped my man's head off, and came to the human world as her.

### Loyalty

I settled myself down in Takamura's family as Suzuka Gozen. I watched how he trains, and how he deploys his armies.

The soldiers of the Takamura family saw me as their Lady. I was allowed to give orders to them on the battlefield and they would drink with me by the sea.

I've mastered everything in the army after just a few years. But I still haven't found what I was looking for: How can humans break through their limits, and draw out their power from the deepest recesses of their souls?

One day, when the soldiers were all drunk, I went to Takamura and asked him if there's any wisdom in the way of a warrior, and in warfare strategies that guaranteed victories after victories.

"Behave like a good servant and fulfill your obligated duty as a warrior."

He looked at the surrounding soldiers, the soldiers he trusted the most. Then he looked at me and said, slowly,

"Your obligated duty is to see everyone here as your family, regardless of their bloodline or hierarchy. You must be responsible for their lives. Your family is your strongest shield, and we will be the sharpest sword for our family."

### Limit

"For our family..." Takamura's answer befuddled me.

I would probably have the power if I were his real daughter. However, we're not family and daughter. Our relationship is as fake as my disguise. So, how am I supposed to understand the "obligated duty" he mentioned?

I was sent to the battlefield on the shore again, before my doubts were cleared.

A small sea monster was there, disrupting the human market. After a few moves, I noticed that he's different from other sea monsters. I wouldn't be able to defeat him if I didn't use my full power.

Takamura noticed then that I was not human... He probably noticed long time ago that I was not his daughter. Either way, he allowed me to abandon my disguise and unleash my full potential.

For a moment, his firm look made me believe that he was truly my father, a family member whom I could trust.

So, as he wished, I revealed my true form before the crowd.

### Family member

The small sea monster was called Otakemaru. I used up almost all of my powers before I managed to defeat him. When I looked back, the humans who saw my true form were approaching me, weapons clutched in their hands.

I didn't need to hide myself anymore, not when things have come this far. Takamura stood before me, pleading with me to tell him exactly what happened on the island.

"Very well, I will show you my memories."

Before his daughter died, she was still trying to protect her family while they retreated... I showed Takamura what had happened through my spell.

Takamura was struck with sadness and pain. I didn't know how to console him. I was surprised by his next decision.

He said he wanted to the lord to know that I am his daughter, Suzuka Gozen, and not a monster. But, before that, I had to escape from those servants.

"Go now! I will be fine." I didn't know if he was telling the truth, or if it was an excuse to drive me away.

But I do know for sure that he saw me as his true family, even if we're not related by blood.

He wanted to protect his family with his life.

### Suzuka

Takamura... My father.

He taught me the power of obligated duty, the bond of family, the warmest and brightest light of all human souls.

I carried what I learned from my father with me, and returned to the sea with Otakemaru. We built a home called Mt. Suzuka.

Mt. Suzuka will be a safe haven for all sea monsters. The home where all wanderers can look to. I really hope we can achieve this in the future.

At first, the sea monsters refused to believe me and Otakemaru. When they saw our Demonships, however, the houses and the streets, where we've homed many of us who seemed fragile and useless, they started to understand the idea of Mr. Suzuka.

Uminari, Sasori, the Shichinin Misaku... As more people joined us, we became such a force that even the Onmyoji of the capital started to take precautions. We became a legend that appears when the night falls.

This is how Mt. Suzuka used to be, before I set sail for the Sanzu River.
