Atoco was one of the Mentally Ill Warriors, that were affected by Gosoythoth, or the Abyss. Because of this, he was in a dream. A nightmare, to be more accurate. His mind was trapped in nothing but darkness and water. He thought to himself:
'Why.. why am I... Duarte.. wait no.. please..'
He cried softly as he was scared, especially when Duarte, a Qucuasaur, had fallen in the front lines during the endless war between Natlan and the Abyss. The Flower-Feather Warriors were very passionate and loving about their own companions. Even if they were just animals, they have their own way to contribute to the Tribe. Especially the saurians that had fallen in the War, their deaths are respected and rewarded. May all those who are deceased, rest in peace.
Atoco couldn't help but cry and not move on from his beloved Saurian's death. Duarte was eveything to him, Duarte and Atoco were heroes to all of Natlan. To everyone that tries to talk to him, he just moves or tells them to swim back up.
