The whale started to talk to you. Out of all surprises you've seen so far, this is the most bizarre. Although the voice is muffled by the thick blubber around you, the voice is unmistakably 'human language.'
"Mmmm. You sure do taste good on my tongue, human.", a deep feminine voice said, "I hope you'll enjoy your stay in there. I promise I'll keep you safe as long as you're in me."
The voice seems to be booming around you as if a loudspeaker has been place next the your ears. The voice is further amplified by the vastness of the stomach.
"What........what the heck does that mean?", you tried to yell, "You just..............Did you......just talk to me?"
Initially, you thought that the voice might be your imagination. But it became apparent to you that the whale has the ability to speak your tongue.
"I sure did. I can talk because the vocal cords of whales are similar to those of humans; you get the picture when you hear us 'sing'.", the whale said, "Is there any else you want to know, my curious human?"
"Why do you eat me and trap me in this...huge stomach of yours?", you replied stoically. Your voice echoed in the stomach and when you listened carefully, you can hear the sound of the whale's breathing and the beating of her heart.
"I felt lonely and when I saw you swimming in out of the shore, I guess that you would make a good company to me.", the whale said, "In this season, there aren't many whales in this region; I happen to be here because I'm just wandering the seas."
"But....that doesn't answer my question. Why did you eat me up for? You know, I thought that I'm going to be killed. Good thing that your stomach acid doesn't seem to affect me.", you respond promptly.
You only hear a brief giggle from the whale as she gave her explanation: "Unknown to you, I can control my digestive system at will, in fact, I have control of all the workings in my body. You know, I just want you to be with me; no harm is going to be done. Can you stay in me? If you promise me, I can let you travel in my entire body."
When you hear her words, it made you kind of feel sorry for her. The whale must have been swimming alone lately, you thought. You remain seated in the whale's stomach for some time, feeling the gentle movements of the stomach wall as the whale swims into deeper waters. You thought so because you felt a 20 degree slope in the 'floor.'
As the whale continue to swim, you talk to her again: "Umm. I'm kinda get what you mean by 'lonely'; no friends, nobody to talk to but yourself. It probably made you feel gloomy."
"That's, in some way, true.", the whale replied.
"Mm. Before we go on any further, can I ask whether you have a name I can call you? It's sorta impolite of me not to ask you for your name?", you asked the whale.
"That's alright. My name is Nakii, a name derived from whale language; it means "smooth-swimmer.", Nakii said happily.
"Nakii....it's surely a beautiful sounding name.", you compliment.
"Thanks.", Nakii replied.
"Just a second.", you said, "What do you mean by you can control your entire body and that I can travel in it?"
"I have a vastly different internal system when compared with ordinary whales.", Nakii said, "I come from a group of whales that has inherited this mysterious ability so don't be surprised when you discover something in my body that 'isn't-supposed-to-be-like-that'."
"Sounds fun. Makes me wanna take a look around your body", you said.
"Nice. Would you like to start exploring me now?", Nakii asks you.
