Chapter one

The voice rang out of the TV from the blonde reporter on screen.

"In other news tonight the underwater earthquake last Monday may have move tectonic plates according to geology expert Tom Mercer, an expiditial dive will take place to morrow to determine the severity of the damage, if the plates have moved far it could cause further earthquakes and could be a threat to the coastline."

In the dark he had laid for centuries, not moving. Almost sleeping, but a forced sleep his mind was alive and awake. Though he did not know how long he had been here he knew he was doomed to stay for eternity. His rage grew inside at this knowledge.

The sun blazed down on the red dolphin research boat owned by Tom Mercer. He and his assistant Kelly, a very attractive 21 year old who had been assisting him for around 9 months now, were both preparing to dive.

"Okay Kelly after you"

Kelly fell backwards into the water and righted her self. A few seconds later Tom joined her in the water. They were 28 miles from the shore, the west coast of Australia. The water was warm as they swam down into and underwater chasm, they passed fish of all colours, and as much as Kelly would have like to pay more attention to them she knew she was here to do a job. They found the area where the earthquake had originated. They planted the scanning equipment which would scan through the rock and give them a picture of the plates so they could see if they had moved sufficiently enough to cause any problems. While setting one of the sensors Kelly spotted something sticking out of the rock to her right that didn't look like it belonged.

He thought back to all the things he had done, and wondered what had happened to his kingdom which he had built through a lot of blood shed. Now laying here in the darkness he wondered weather it was worth it. Was the pain and the suffering he had caused to build himself and his kingdom up at all worth it. Look where it got him. A prisoner inside his own body. His mind working but his body turned off.

Thinking it over, it had been worth every drop of blood, he had become great, proud and feared. People coward at the mere mention of his name. He laughed inside, although his body never moved at all.
