They—hm... had the physique of people, with rotted flesh, yet they reminded me of the Sahagin in a fashion with their fish-like features. It was horribly grotesque.
I know not how else to describe what we went through—they were... moments of this city's past. Surely, encountering those– [ People? ] –things in the cave was yet another memory...
I have made it out with a piece of that past, as well. Though it was but a memory—or... I can only assume so—it was as though we were living those days for true.
No, I owe you a more thorough explanation. Where to begin, I am not certain, but... When we vanished here, the four of us came to upon a ship. Or shall I say—the selfsame ship you and I had ventured into earlier this week.
Forgive me, for I cannot exactly say. I had spent the majority of my time there below the deck—but if you wish to know, either Power or Suigetsu could likely best answer.

And... You do recall the thought that a massive beast struck the ship, yes?
