Mystical herald of Poseidon’s chariot, so they say of me. Do they not know I am the pure scientist of the ocean? My understanding of the physics of sound, and of light refracted through the water is exquisite. My knowledge of geography, navigation, ocean currents and weather patterns is far beyond that of any two-footed, hairless mammal. I understand far too well the chemistry of micro-plastics, surface degradation, biofouling, and ingestion-related bioaccumulation. Why do they depict me with glittery rainbows or diving through the stars? True, I know the constellations and have studied the movements of the sphere. I am indeed the Taniwha, guardian of the soul, as science well knows, as I was divinely created to be.
