Flash back_

(Maul discussing with Williams on the potential change of nature in the relationship between man and the super natural -Flashback).

Williams: Being a king is not an easy task. A very powerful and brave king takes the risk and defend his people.

Maul: Yes I know, that's why I'm here. The mermaid are not giving me the chance. I want you to make them have a rethink and make me king.

Williams: The man in front of you is capable to do anything. The gods appointed me cause he is the one that gave me this mark.

Maul: Are you saying this mark on your back is the source of your powers?

Williams: For the sake you are not one of us, forget about the legs I gave to you cause immediately you touch the water you go back to your tail.

Maul: It's cool staying outside the sea. But I really want to rule the mermaids. I have a mission.

Williams: Let me tell you this, the mark on my back is the source of my powers. There is this mindset that comes to my mind that if a boy is born with a mark on its body, it might develop powers and wants to compete with me. If I allow it, many of them will grow up and Start to cause damages in the town. I hate competition.

Maul: I want to get my own mark too on my body. I need powers to rule and protect myself.

Williams: The gods are wise. Babies born with birth mark are been killed. My father, before he died has already made a law which is babies born with birth mark must be killed. He did that just to please me cause I hate competition. The people in the town obeyed the law because he told them the babies bring nothing but a curse into their family. I will give the mermaids second thought to make you king. I will stop the killing of babies instead they will be thrown into the sea. When you become king make sure you get them and kill them yourself. Drinking their blood makes you stronger.

Maul: This is interesting. I'm glad I have you as a friend. When I become king I'll make you the priest under the sea. I'm sure you will have the ability to breathe well under the water.

Williams: No, the gods appointed me. I have done my part to help you. I leave the rest to you.

Maul: Thank you.

Williams: Listen, once you touch the water you get your tail immediately. You can't have legs again.
