"Me too, Sura.What should we do so we no longer fight?" asked Baya

Sura who already had a plan to stop his fight with Baya, he immediately explained about his idea.

"In order to prevent a fight between us, we should divide the territory in two, I am fully in the water and shall seek prey in the water, while you shall land on land and your manges shall be in the land As the boundary between land and water, we set the limit, which is the place reached by sea water at the time of the tides!

Well, this river there is water, so also include my area of ​​power, "Sura said.

"What is it? The river is its place on land, while your dominion is in the sea, meaning it is the river of my power!" Baya insistent.
