Prologue

Somewhere, in the Caribbean islands, a menacing storm was brewing up. The gawking of crows and grey of skies would seem to any sailor, a sign of ill omen. The ferocious sea was showing off its white foaming teeth, daring anyone to try and conquer it. Life underwater was a bustle as creatures prepared for the squall. Deep down, on the ocean floor, past all the activities above, where everything seemed motionless and dark was an unusually large clod of sand. Clearly, it had been there for some time. A guppy happened to be swimming near the clod. Intrigued by the size of it, the guppy decided to swim closer to it. After completing its tenth circle around the clod of sand, truly amazed, it decided to swim elsewhere. However the guppy couldn't get past a metre away from the bulge; a tentacle shot out so fast, and disappeared in a blink. Along with the guppy.
