Hey everybody,
This is my first attempt at writing a story for a video game, so we'll see how it goes. This is the main story for Endless Ocean: Blue World. My experience is based off of the Wii version, so if there are different versions for different game consoles, sorry but it might not be the same. Here we go. Also, please read my message at the bottom of this intro for a message and it is also where I will be explaining terms that the game uses which isn't common knowledge.
The sun shines bright in the sky as it begins its journey across the sky. It is still early in the morning, but many creatures have already begun their day, such as the seabirds that fly in the sky circling their prey that lies just underneath the surface of the water. A whale breaks that surface for a fresh breath of air as it continues on its journey. Underneath the water, whales are migrating in herds up in the hundreds as they make their way to their destination. Many kinds join in the migration from blue whales to humpbacks. Others lunge out of the water, creating ripples in the ocean that reach towards the group of divers who are observing from the boat.
"This is amazing. . . I've never seen so many whales in one place! It is as if every whale from every ocean has gathered here," a girl says as she stares at the majestic creatures.
"So, it seems your intuition was right once again," the captain says to one of the divers on the boat.
"I know you're good, but this is amazing," the girl exclaims as she turns toward the diver. The two other divers on the boat, one male and one female are also impressed.
"If this many whales have gathered here, there really must be something," the female diver states.
The male diver turns to say, "Well, we won't know what it is until we start looking. You're ready to dive right in, aren't you? It's written all over your face. You really want to dive with all these whales around?"
The diver that is centered in the middle of the boat, replies with, "I'm just that kind of girl."
"Well, you're one brave woman, that's for sure," he replied.
"Your courage has saved us countless times. And this time is no different. We will put our faith in you," the captain said.
"But you should still be careful, we don't know what's down there. We'll monitor you from the boat for now. So stay in contact with us, ok," the girl asks as the diver dawns her gear and prepares to leave the boat. She gives the 'ok' signal and falls back into the water. After gaining her bearings, she begins her descent from the surface and observes the beauty of the creatures of the sea. She stops about forty feet down and receives a message from the boat.
"Can you hear me? This is Jean-Eric. I am monitoring your position, and I will direct you from the surface. You will need to face west." She grasps her compass and positions herself until she is facing west. Further ahead she sees a cave that has a pod of dolphins circling around inside and makes her way inside.
"Can you see an area in front of you where there is a hole in the cliff? All of the data from our surveys points to there being something on the other side. So swim over there and tell us what you find."
Once inside, she finds a hole that leads further into the cavern.
"It seems that you can pass through the back of the cave. Perhaps we will find the undiscovered truth behind the ancient legend inside? Keep going forward and let us know what you can see!"
She slowly makes her way into the hole while adjusting her gear to keep her buoyant. Her gloves brush against the walls as she approaches the end. Once she is out, she loses her breath as she stares at the monument that she finds in the cavern. There before her stands a large stone palace that could have only been created by people on the surface.
Meanwhile, as a player sits observing their television screen, these words appear:
Ancient stone ruins tall enough to fill the entire cavern tower over you. This is the end of your quest to solve the mystery of the Song of Dragons! You may even find the legendary singing dragon sleeping inside. . .
"What," the gamer asks holding their controller, wondering if they were jipped into buying a preview of a game instead of the real thing.
The next set of words appear that puts their minds to rest:
Of course, this all started one year ago in the South Pacific Ocean.
So, that's the intro for the game. I thought to just stick with giving you guys that for now, until I can work out how I want the character portrayed. Another important fact to point out is that there are many inconsistencies with the plotline and what people should do when diving. For example, you should NEVER go diving alone. Always take a partner, or better yet a dive master. They know what they are doing. I'm allowed to rant about this because I am licensed and have been on several dives before, so I'm applying certain steps that divers need to take if they were actually diving. If interested, visit a scuba licensing company's website to find more information. I used SSI and I would recommend them to people who want to dive and do it safely.
