Chapter 1
Born in The Storm
Link along with the other champions are in Hyrule Castle's library trying to help Zelda find a way to unlock her powers. Inside the library are towering bookshelves that reach the ceiling. Within these spires of books are desks and chairs. At one of these desks is Zelda, who is currently enthralled in her book, piles of books adorn the desk. Revali sitting in a chair nearby was reading books about Ritos and criticizing how wrong it was, Urbosa was helping Zelda read through the mountain of books at the desk. Mipha was reading a book, about a Zora princesses and a Hylian, beside Zelda. Daruk was having difficulties, not with reading but trying to fill the pages without destroying them. Link however was combing through the bookshelves deep within the library.
As Link is looking at the spines of the books he spots one that seems out of place. A small leather bound book that has collected dust, corners of the book seems to be falling apart. No title on the spine of the book, nor on the front. Intrigued with it Link grabs it carefully and brings it back to everyone else.
"Hey Zelda, have any idea what this book is about?" Asked Link
Looking up from her book Zelda glances over at it. "No I've never seen it before," replied Zelda a little bit puzzled. Link opened the book, and began reading.
"You're not going to share with the rest of us Link," Urbosa Chimes. Noticing that all the Champions are looking at Link expectantly, He sighs and begins reading aloud...

I was sent by Princess Zelda to look into an outrageous story that a group of fishermen have made. They clam some sort of God of the sea has been taking their fish and killing some of them. Upon my arrival it seemed that most of the villagers in the fishing village were waiting by the docks. When I asked why they were waiting they responded with
"Because no one at central Hyrule would come to our aid we took things into our own hands"
With further information gathering I've been told that a group of fishermen went hunting for this so-called God. They were being led by a man named Odin (the villagers called him Old Man Odin) and they took his ship, The Molten Leviathan out to sea.
After waiting for three more hours a ship was spotted, heavily damaged I noticed a large mass being dragged behind it.
Another hour passed the ship is docked, and by her grace Hylia they were right. Instead of a God they killed some sort of beast, the villagers were praising Odin. Thus I must conclude that their claims were mostly true, a beast was lurking off our shores. Killing our people, destroying ships, all the while we did nothing.
(Below this point is the description of the beast's body that they brought back.)
The beast head is fairly large, the heads max length is around 80 ft, three eyes are located on each side of the head, all three eyes create a diagonal line sloping down from back eye to front eye. One set facing forward while two more sets facing outwards. This suggests that the beast is a predator, and the two extra sets of eyes may have allowed it to have a full view of its surroundings. Each eye has the same design yellow with a singular black slit (similar to a reptile) and each eye has a diameter of around 5ft which is similar size to a Hylian.
The teeth of the beast are also hylian sized with a few smaller teeth (which makes me believe this is a juvenile. And this scares me). The jaw itself seems able to crush bone and rock, furthermore a unique characteristic to the jaw allows it to split in two. This may allow it to bite larger creatures (similar to a snake). The tongue however doesn't share this characteristic.
Moving to the top of the head the beast seems to have bone-like horn protrusions, that I guess could form a crown of bone (which is why the villagers gave it the nickname 'The King'). These bone-like horns aren't just found on the head, in fact it seems to appear throughout the creature.
Two scythe-like forearms located 20ft from the head. It's purpose I can only hypothesize, but I can ensure they were used in combat. The front of the scythes have the same bone-like protrusion, forming a biological blade. The other purpose I speculate is feeding, similar to Praying Mantises or even like us Hylians.
At the rear of the beast are twelve tentacles. Each tentacle is 100ft long ending in a bone hook (Eerily similar to fishing hooks). One side of the tentacles have suction cups. While the other has Thousands of small bone barbs, I presume that these barbs are used in combat. The barbs would hook into a creature, then the tentacle would pull, causing mass damage to exposed flesh. Lastly, I must address the fact that these creatures have supernatural abilities. From what the fishermen have told me these creatures have the power to control the weather, waters, and even raw energy ( I wonder if these creatures have more magic abilities that we may never know about).
These leviathans I have named Crallaks (meaning six eyed leviathans) for future reports and findings. After I've named the Crallak species, Odin's Son took it as his surname no longer were they known as Thornin's but as Crallak's, mocking the beast their ancestor slayed. This concludes my findings…
Everyone takes a moment to take in everything they just heard. Could it be true, could there really be something like this in the sea.
"I for one think it's completely fake, no Hylian could kill something like that," retorted Revali.
"Why not? We've had Heros fight worse," responds Daruk.
"I hate to say this, but I agree with Revali. I doubt something like this would go unnoticed for so long," begrudgingly agreed Urbosa, "how about you Mipha?"
"Well… I think it's real, we hardly know what's in the ocean. I've also heard tales from Zoras about a coral reef that moves. It could be possible," responds Mipha
Zelda sighs rubbing her head. "Well it's getting late, we can debate in the morning. As well as maybe there could be more information in the library about these Crallaks," informs Zelda. Everyone nodded in agreement, they've been in the library for most of the day. Each of the Champions went to their respective rooms within Hyrule castle.
As Link begins to open his door but stops when he sees Mipha pops her head around the corner of the hall. "Lady Mipha, what can I do for you?" Asked Link, as he gave her a wide smile.
"For starters I was hoping to stay with you for the night and secondly what did you think about that report?" Informs Mipha.
Smiling Link opens his door and gestures for Mipha to go in first. "I would be happy if you stayed with me, and I don't have an answer to your question. I think we'll have to see if there is anything else on this Crallak creature, and family," answers Link. As Mipha walks past he gives her a kiss and walks in after her.
Crallaks a mysterious leviathan within the oceans of Hyrule and beyond. We've made this story to help fill out the world a bit more. Hyrule is a big place, but an even bigger world. This story is to help add more to this amazing world. We would be lying if we said that Crallaks aren't our favorites, because they are.
Also An Eye For An Eye will be put on hold for now. One more thing before we let you go there will be some connections to AEFAE in here so keep an eye out.
