Prelude
Water rushes into my lungs as I desperately attempt to swim my way back up to the surface each second feels like eternity as everything around me swirls around in chaos I can hear the faint shouts of my father's crew shouting at each other, "…how are we supposed to help him!" says one crew member, "I don't know we shouldn't have come back to bilgewater… what'll we tell captain Stu?" yells another, "He won't survive down there much longer he's in the hands of the bearded lady now… may she rest his soul… Alright men let's get this ship the hell out of here unless we want to end up like him" he yells as the ship slowly turns tail and sails away leaving me behind as I begin to black out one word fills my mind… "…Forgotten…" suddenly with a final burst of strength I manage to breach the surface of the water and swim to the side of the ship, "men pull me up!" I desperately yell my sudden burst of strength draining from my body, "sure we'll save you kid… catch" says first mate Shiva as he and a couple of fellow crewmen hoist an anchor overboard and drop it on top of me. Before I can even utter a word I find myself struggling to keep the heavy anchor of me as I begins to sink lower and lower into the depths…
"…Y…mu…ive" a faint voice echoes out to me, "Yo…st.. " the strange voice echoes closer, "You must live…" a disembodied feminine voice commands me as I suddenly open my eyes only to find complete darkness, "I must be dead how far did my corpse sink into the water?" I ask myself a pair of faint light green eyes appear from the darkness,
"Young one…" she says to me, "Yes" I reply not really knowing what's going on, "Thou hast been wronged by thine own kin" she says to me as I begin to be surrounded by enormous faintly glowing tentacles as the being speaks once more, "I shall bestow the gift of life to you, but you will no longer be the young man you once were… you'll be something extraordinary" she says as she begins to chant in an unknown language to me as runes begin to surround me and fill every ounce of my being.
Once the chanting stopped I find lying awake on the ocean floor renewed essence flowing through my body as a memory comes back to me of that being's chant…
"I, The Elder God Nagakabouros grant thee life so that the sins of thine kin shall be purged! I bestow upon you the power of the ocean so that none may escape your wrath! May this anchor serve as the weapon to befall thine wretched kin as they have used it on you without remorse?" the booming voice of the Elder God rocks the entire sea with just her words as ancient runes pour inside of me with such a force it knocks me unconscious.
The memory fades away as quickly as it came as I begin my slow trek back to dry land one word fresh in my mind driving me to literally cross the ocean: Revenge
