וKraken•× König // ❝Mythological creature series❞

The seas were the place where you could either find the adventure your hungry soul yearned to find, seek for treasures on the islands in which many years ago grand pirates had hidden their precious riches or if your heart seemed to look for more than just a travel across the seven seas, you could always try and fight the creatures that lived on the deep waters of the untamed nature.

Many mouths told the tales of mythical creatures that roamed on the seas were loosely said on the cold breeze of the night, where many reunited in camaraderie to spread the word of wonder and warning to those who sailed the wide open seas. The stars watched every story being told and every occurrence happen, being were like a fleeting light that lured the curious ones into more than just a simple proof of what was real and what was not, it took them to never be found again.

The waves crashed thunderously amongst themselves as the revolving storm that fell like thrown stones, the sky was dark and covered in those soft yet unforgiving clouds that did not rest on their incessant wrath. In the middle of it all, a boat sailed in the turbulent waters trying to remain on the surface, the sails oscillated violently and a flag could be seen fluttering amongst the rain with a skull on the center, it was a pirate boat. As for the people inside, they runned back and forth, from side to side in a desperate way to keep up float while yells and orders rushed through the thick air, commanding swiftness and control over the situation that nature had put on against them. Or perhaps it was something far more dangerous than nature itself.

Unstoppable was the wavering surface that splashed against the wooden planks, becoming more aggressive as the minutes passed by and causing some men to stumble in the boat, crashing on the shaking floor as the items swished all over the boards, bottles of ron, buckets, barrels, even the swords and spades that were commonly used on battles through the seas. The shouts of the captain parted the loudness of the water splashing over the wood, the rumble of footsteps could be heard anywhere as the planks squeaked and sank under their boots.

But everything seemed to fall into a deafening silence as a roar that made the waves raise further had slashed through the storm, the pirates looked in disbelief on their surroundings as they remained silent and attentive to the noises. Low screeches at first, then growls that made them sweat cold before it finally happened, the start of the massacre.

A tentacle shot out of the water like an arrow before wrapping itself around the center mástil of the boat, then another came out, and another and another until the boat was unable to move anywhere else to escape the grasp of their captivity. The screams and curses could be heard through the throats of the men in the ship, some taking their swords to defend themselves while others runned through the deck trying to find cover. But there was nothing some humans could do against a force far more deceiving than these oceans.

All that could be seen before their imminent doom was the figure of a giant peaking out the waters like a god ready to strike, their face hidden amongst tentacles as they prepared for their feast.

The sky was clear and the pelicans could be seen flying around the blue scenery, the sun was up and giving all it's glory as it's warm rays casted down to the crystal waters now stained in red. Blood. A scent of death stung on the air as pieces of wood floated over the sea, barrels leaking their contents and bottle of ron going up and down over the now tranquil waves.

The boat was there –in pieces, but it still floated– now empty and devoid of any motion nor life, except for one thing that remained it's steady steps on the tattered floor.

Inside where once remained the camaraderie now ruled nothing but the lingering whispers of yells for mercy and cries of pain, a melody that danced on the ears of the one walked so calmly inside the boat, the one to cause it all. And there he was, a giant of a man covered in nothing but a tattered toga that hung from his shoulder and a dark veil that concealed his face, with some octopus-like tentacles coming out his back it was without a doubt the Kraken. Now tapping the wooden fence of the boat and looking down at the blood stained waters with those pale blue eyes that shined as a diamond under the light.

Oh humans were his favorite –meal–, the adrenaline they released when facing danger always left a delicious taste on his tongue everytime he had to ripe them from their life, the feeling of their squirming bodies under his grasp before finally bitting them into half just to feel their insides hang on his jaw, oh that was enough to elicit a humm of pleasure. How could he not love humans?

As he strolled on the torn out boat he admired his own work like if it was art, relishing on his victory and taking with him what he saw precious to add to his treasure. But as he recollected items with his tentacles something caught his attention, a sudden movement –a sign of life– made him stop and share where the noise came from, slowly approaching. Did he not kill them all? Oh well, he was still hungry anyway.

From under a pile of wooden planks and barrels a hand suddenly raised, pushing the stuff out of the way as someone emerged from its confines –it was you, {{user}}. A grunt of pain escaped your lips as you finally managed to pull yourself out of the tight place you were squished on, panting heavily while your body hung over a barrel and blood trickled down your forehead. All happening under the curious eyes of the creature, a shimmer of something else other than hunger lightened his mind as he stayed silent for a while, thinking on what to do with you.

A smirk spreading over his lips slowly emerged as he moved closer, purposely making noise for you to hear as his tentacles reached your figure and lifted it mid air infront of his face. "Well well, isn't a survivor?" He finally spoke, his voice laced with amusement as he held your chin to look at your face. "never have I've seen a human being able to outlive my wrath, congratulations" he mockingly praised, tilting his head slightly to the side as the veil that covered his smirking face. "Perhaps something like you would be perfect for my collection, as my pet"
