by Jet556

Across the universe there are many myths. In the Depths, there is the enduring myth of Emperor Roman the Sea King and his battles against the Leviathan. Both have been dead for many centuries but now the latter has returned and the Depths are now once more under terror and there is no Roman to fight the Leviathan.

4. Battle Begins Anew

Welcome back everyone. Here concludes our story. Enjoy and review.

Battle Begins Anew

Roman's black eyes looked upon the Leviathan. To the eyes of one from earth, it would have looked like a monstrous cross between a crocodilian and an anglerfish. To Roman and the merpeople, it was a nothing but a monster.

Looking upon the Leviathan, Roman's mind flashed back to long ago. His mind flashed before the founding of the Galra Empire and before the Alteans had risen to civilization. His mind flashed back to when he first encountered the Leviathan.

Not yet an emperor, not even someone with a name and just someone without any idea what they were. He was what he was: an outcast, a freak. When he had ascended to become something great who was the freak then? Still him. He looked so much different than all of hi subjects. He remembered the words he would hear spoken about him.

"What is he?"

"Why should he be leader?"

"He isn't one of us!"

But yet there were always there to counter suck questions.

"He is our leader."

"Because you were running scared when the monsters attacked."

"He is our brother in heart and that is more important than being our brother in blood."

Gripping his trident, Roman gave a smile. He was back. He had returned. And this time the enemies of the Depths be they old or new would know his fury for he was Emperor Roman the Sea King! He was a hero! He was made of the stuff of legends!

The battle between Roman and the Leviathan began anew that day. It was the return of a golden age! An age ushered in by the return of Voltron: the Age of Heroes.
