Tomy was sailing in a ship from Okuwa to Morus, going for a picnic in the city of Atlanta. After many hours of journey on the high sea of Metis, a tornado storm sank the ship and he was the only survivor, through the help of a kind mermaid who later wanted to marry him.

It was a lie. It was because the king was taking sides with his daughter.
