INITIATE DREAM SEQUENCE

You hadn't seen your lusus in a reel long time. You were starting to lose track of time, actually. You were so used to counting the days by as your lusus came back to feed you and teach you something new. But some days ago, a week maybe, he stopped coming.

You were starting to get really hungry, you were sort of mad, really. Why wasn't he coming back? Did he not care about you anymore? Did he want you to starve?

You shook your head and played in the sand. Your hive wasn't really a hive, your dad had told you that you didn't deserve one. But he did find you this really neat cave that had a secret entrance through a tunnel system of corals and seaweed. It was reely quite pretty.

Sighing you twirled your hand around in the sand again. Watching as the grains drifted up in the water. Your stomach was aching.

The next day you'd had enough of waiting. You made your way through the tunnels, trying to catch the little fish that lived in there. But they were all so much faster than you! How in the world did NrogDad catch things!?

You made your way out of the cave. It had been a reely long time since you'd been outside. Staring down into the dark depths of the ocean before looking around. You didn't see anyone. Only things around were the little reef fish that proved to small to catch. You had found an oyster, but it took way to much time to open it and what was inside wasn't all that tasty.

Slowly you made your way out into the water and swam up to the surface. Pushing your hair back and squinting your eyes at the moonlight. Taking a moment to adjust before moving over to the shore. Holy fuck were you wobbly as hell. You tried to stand up several times but ended up face down in the sand every time. Grumbling and cursing you sat yourself up and just surveyed your surroundings.

You had your sealegs sure, now you had to get your land ones. Once it didn't seem like anyone was around you tried to stand up again. Slowly, taking your time, grabbing a hold of a tree as you almost fell over again. You huffed, fuck you were way to hungry for this shit.

After a bit of prancing about in the sand you had a steady hold of your legs and made your way along the beach. You'd found a little tidepool filled with all sorts of creatures. Grabbing one of the claw beasts and ripping it's claw off before it could pinch you. Laughing as it squirmed about in your hand trying to get free.

You were enjoying your meal when a rock suddenly plumeted into your back. Wincing you dropped your food into the little pool and turned around to see three trolls of yellow blood standing there. Tossing more rocks in their hands and laughing. You knew they were yellow bloods because all of their clothes had yellow accents to them.

You stood yourself up, the clothes you wore didn't look nearly as nice above water as they did under. Your pants having dried oddly and your vest kept falling down.

One of the yellowbloods, you supposed he was like their leader or something walked up to you. Fuck was he tall compared to you. "Looks like I found us some fish for supper." He grinned darkly as he grabbed your arm and pulled you forward.

The hell!? They wanted to eat you! "Let me go!" You hissed at him. Trying to get away from him.

He just laughed and threw you to the ground in front of the other two trolls. Both of them grabbed your arms and held you steady. One of their heels digging your foot into the sand. Squirming and hissing, you couldn't get away.

The leader troll walked back over, a knife in his hand now. "Let's see, what to eat first." He dragged the flat of the knife over the gills at your neck. That simple gesture making you fall still. "Oh, don't like that?" He teased, moving to the frill on your arm and grabbed a hold of it, in a swift movement the knife had cut clean along the spines and your fin fell to the ground.

Blood rolled off your arm and dripped into the sand. Tears welling up in your eyes. You were terrified, they were cutting of your fins! Where was NrogDad when you needed him! "G-get off!" You yelled and flailed, trying desperately to get away but they were so much stronger than you. It seemed like there was even more of them then there was.

One of the trolls bit one of your earfins clean off. Another raked his claws between your fingers and destroyed the webbing there. Your other arm frill was soon gone and they shoved you face first into the ground. A hand grabbing at your back frill. "My my, this is a pretty piece. I'll hang it in my respiteblock~" He grinned and took the knife.

Painfully slow, you could feel the webbing and spines being removed from your back. You cried and yelled, begging for someone to come and help you. Begging for them to stop.

They stood around you laughing. Blood dripping onto you and running down your back as they messed with their new prize. You tried to sit up, only to fall back onto your side. The pain must have been to much because you blacked out.

When you opened your eyes. You were staring into the empty eyes of the yellow blood leader. You moved back quickly, coming to realize that it was only the trolls head. Blood running from his mouth and where his shoulders should have been connected to his neck. You nearly screamed, turning your head up to see the biggest troll you've ever seen.

The Grand Highblood.

(o: Just a bit of Caprus' past. I thought you'd like it.
