Since the prologue was so short, here's an extra chapter! Enjoy! And tell me if the rating should go up.

Oz: Can we get on with it? We get it, all you own is the plot.
Vincent POV
Nii-San! Why hasn't he come back up yet? He couldn't have gotten caught on something, we're in the open ocean! He fell off deck in a stray wave and hasn't come up as of yet. He should have come up by now! He's a great swimmer after all. Wait… where did that wave come from? I peer closer into the water. There's some black, Gil! Is that gold down there? Gold…
"A Vessalius got Gil!" I yell out to the crew.
Immediately they run to the harpoons, ready to fire. Several harpoons shoot into the water. One of them hits the target… I think. There's some blood. The dark form of Gil gets closer to the surface, but so does the Vessalius. I see it shooting up towards him. I grab my gun and jump into the water after him. Before I can get my bearings, it fucking headbutts me in the stomach! Ow ow ow!
I can't let him die today!
Oz POV
Yes, I've caught such a nice looking one, especially for my first prey. Raven hair and eyes as gold as my tail. Yes, a very nice one. Too bad he's not a mer, now I'll have to kill him. Of course, these silly humans refuse to breathe water anyways, so no one ever said I have to sit his pretty throat to kill him. Whether I slice him to ribbons, eat him alive, or wait for him to drown…
I'll make sure he dies today.
"You should be honored pretty thing, you'll be my first kill. I'm even being nice enough to leave you in one piece. Who knows, maybe I'll find a nice block of ice to freeze you in so I can look at you."
I start to swim down with him in my arms, taking my sweet time with it. Why hurry? It's too dark down there to see properly after all. I'll probably have to sneak him past Dad anyways. I wasn't exactly supposed to leave, but he literally never lets me go anywhere!
An expertly aimed harpoon shoots at me. It hits me before I can move, taking a chunk out of one of my arms and forcing me to let go of my prize. No! Several more fly through the water, all aimed at me, as my pretty little prey swims up, and pretty quickly, for something without gills or fins anyways. Weaving around the sharp projectiles, I chase after him.
A blondie with two different eyes jumps in the water. Tch. Annoying. With a flick of my tail, I shoot off towards him like one of the harpoons shooting around and headbut him in the stomach. He rolls backwards and I return to my prey. He's going fast though, impressive.
Just before he can reach the surface, I cut him across his torso with one of the blades on my arms. I see the air bubbles leave him and grin. Even if I had to damage him to do so…
I'll make sure he dies today.
Gil POV
I can barely hear what it's saying, and my sight isn't quite as good as usual. The young Vessalius holds tight onto me. My lungs… they're burning. Am I going to die today?
Something whizzes by and my cheek stings. The Vessalius screams. A harpoon. I feel his grip on me released. Quickly I start to swim towards the surface, trying not to run into one of the harpoons being shot into the water. Unfortunately, I'm not the only good swimmer in here. Gold flashes behind me, shooting around like a rocket.
The surface is in what's left of my quickly graying sight. My chest is on fire and it feels like I'm swimming through molasses. I can't quit though, I have to make it up there.
Gold suddenly rushes up and there's a sharp pain across my torso. I scream, and bubbles, the last of my air, escape. My vision starts to fade and the rest of me goes limp.
I guess I am going to die today…
The End! Not.
