This day will forever be in the memory of all the Mermaids present and will be a mythical story told to all the following generations because today, not only thousands of Mermaids were saved by the legendary Phoenix, but also Pride herself, and especially Eve.
And although figures like Maya and Pride are already legends among every people in the universe, the biggest highlight is certainly Eve. The Mermaids see her as a young girl who risked her life and faced a hell of torture to contain a Kraken alone in order to save people who never did anything to deserve her sacrifice.
Loyalty is the word that's on their minds, and while it's generally expected of soldiers, it's what all those Mermaids got from Eve, and it's also what they all want to give her in return.
Of course, they all understand that someway she did it because of Lucien; yet, they don't care about the motives but about the lives saved.
