There are many stories, many worlds, many people intertwined, individual, or together. This is one story beginning in one world, crossing to another world by time, four people intertwined.
-The Mediterranean Sea, in the middle of a tropical hurricane, at the prime of the 5th century BC.-
The tropical hurricane was monstrous and fierce, surrounding quite a few ships and several small islands. One of the ships is of royalty, containing a crew accompanied by a prince. This prince is of Greek origin, belonging to one of the Great 7 Cities, Syracuse. His name is Proteus, a long light brown ponytail with two bangs framing his aristocratic face, medium-darkish blue eyes, a tall, wiry frame contrasting of his tan skin, and wearing his clothes, a blue tunic over dark blue breeches. He may seem as a sailor from great distance, but as a prince, he has refined skills.
Right now, his ship is battling the waves as Proteus tried to recover his balance, being completely soaked by the continuous rain, shouting to the captain, "Can you turn anywhere to get out of here?!". The captain shouted back, "No, your majesty, we're blocked in every corner. The only hope to survive this is to reach the eye of the storm!".
Proteus looked determined yet he knew that he and his crew are in trouble. "Keep trying, captain, and look for the eye once we're free of the waves!". He shouted back, then he heard a scream. He turned his head over to see one of his crew falling from the side net, and he immediately ran, grabbing the edge with one hand as he grabbed the man with his other hand, halting the crewman's screams and then sobs of relief as he saw that his prince saved him.
Proteus retrieved him in, smiling as he had succeeded to save his crewman, then shouts surrounded the deck as a giant wave crashed over the ship, dousing the crew once again. The recovered crewman looked around to see the rest of his mates safe and walking as they tried to turn the ship around, then he frowned as he couldn't find a important person, the one who had saved him, one Prince Proteus.
He gasped as he ran to the side of the deck, canvassing the ocean for any hide of his prince, and he realized the horrors, shouted, "The prince is overboard! Man overboard! The prince is overboard, missing!". The crew was shocked, yet did little they know was that Proteus is alive, yet underwater. Trying to make it to the surface, his lungs burned and burned as he thought furiously. I got to go back! Father, my home, everything! I got to stay alive! Then his eyes widened as he tried to hold in his breath, greatly shocked as he saw a bubble glowing blue, zooming toward him, then nothing as he was completely gone, leaving the sea horrendous and crashing.
-Some Kilometers away, on another ship-
This one ship is not of royalty, but of merchants, more like pirates, or as its captain likes to say, thieves. The crew was as well battling the waves of the storm, with Captain Sinbad, who was a old friend of Prince Proteus, shouting to his first mate, Kale. Kale is of African origin, belonging to the sea, the only home he knows of. He's bald, a sharp black beard accenting his chin, is bare-chested, his skin dark chocolate, contrasting with his dark eyes, wearing faded yellow breeches with a blue belt, and blue bracers on his wrists, and a tattoo on his left shoulder.
Sinbad shouted, "Kale, get to the eye quickly!". Kale shouted back, "Aye, captain, but these waves are crazy!". He turned the wheel furiously as he scanned the sea, hearing Sinbad order the crew around, along with Spike and Marina helping around as they held their balance. Kale thought he saw a open corner, and turned the wheel in the direction of the clear spot, when he heard Spike's barks, he glanced to see Marina tying up the mizzen ropes as quickly as she could, then he saw a wave cresting over the ship, causing him to turn sharply, hearing a alerting bark, turning to see Spike trying to hold Marina's sleeve as he reared up on the side with a barely swinging Marina as she shouted for help.
"Hold on, Marina!". Kale shouted as he let go of the wheel and ran to grab Marina's hands, grasping widely on her arms, heaving as Kale got her over with a relieved Spike who licked Marina over and over, then all of a sudden a wide wave swept over the ship, causing all the crew to hold on for their lives, and when the wave was gone, Marina who was holding on to a pole with Spike by clutching his collar, was looking around and over the ship, relieved to see Sinbad and the crew safe and well, yet she was confused as she couldn't see Kale around, then her eyes widened as she turned around, realizing the horror, and running to the side of the ship, shouting.
"Kale, Kale, where are you?!". She was desperate to see any sign that Kale was alive. "Marina, what's going on?! Where's Kale?!". Sinbad yelled as he was worried for his love. Marina's eyes filled of tears as she sobbed as she looked at Sinbad, "Kale is out there! He was trying to save me and there was this wave!".
"What?!". Sinbad's eyes widened, and looked out to the sea, the monstrous waves crashing and dangerous, shouted, "No, Kale! Kale!". Barely hearing Marina's sobs as he called out for his first mate, his very best friend since he left Syracuse all these years ago, beginning to feel dread. Little did the duo know was that Kale is again, alive yet underwater. His arms burrowed through the ocean water as he vaguely could make out the ship far below him, his lungs burning, yet he was taken off guard when he saw a glowing blue bubble zooming for him, then he knew nothing as he became gone from this world, leaving the sea cresting and dangerous.
- Maine, the United States, in the middle of summer, at the prime of the 21st century, 2016.-
