Incoherent.

Snippet of my OC having a nightmare and going to Nazir for help. Featuring: Vaermina and Hermaeus Mora and some foreshadowing. #FestusDiesBeforeHeTurns13 #HeLosesMostThingsLmfao

Serafim woke up in a fright, still feelings the tentacles wrapped around his neck in his dream. Still feeling the horror of being choked… being pulled away from his mum, and his dad.

sweat dripped from his forehead and tears spilled from his eyes, he tried his best not to have a panic attack, trying to remember what Veezara said to do when he was anxious. Hyperventilating, Serafim brought himself to sit up on the bed, his heart pounding, and increasingly getting louder.

“C… I see… uh…” Serafim thought for a moment, looking around the dark room. “Cabinet. I see cabinet.” He said aloud, in a quiet whisper. “Breathe, I smell..I… sniff… burn. I smell burn.” Serafim said, inhaling once more. Burn. stir. Cooking. Cooking!

he tried to think, more tears falling from his eyes and he thought. Who cook? He shakily made his way out of his bed, walking to the ‘kitchen’ in the sanctuary.

Nazir. A small smile growing on his face, running to his older brother, Nazir. Hands wrapping around his waist as he cried, and looked up at Nazir with wet, droopy eyes.

“What is it, riekling?” Nazir asked, his voice deeper than usual, it was croaky. Though that may just be the fact he’s whispering, and it’s just a little after midnight. Nazir looked down, looking away from the pot, and seeing Serafim’s tears. “Oh.” He said, bringing a hand to ruffle Serafim’s hair.

“Vaermina haunts me again, brother.” Serafim managed to say, though his voice was shaky, delicate, felt as if he may go non-verbal. “Haunts me… haunts me, haunts me—“ He said, the world around him.. he felt it spin. Felt Mundas spin as he stayed still.

he thought he’d fall and slip into the void, if it got any faster.

Nazir thought for a moment… was he this unlucky that he would have to deal with Serafim’s nightmares? He considered going to wake up Astrid, or Babette.

he let out a sigh, wiping Serafim’s tears.

“don’t cry, ‘s’annoying.” Nazir said, patting Serafim’s back before grabbing him by the waist and lifting him up, Serafim wrapped his legs around Nazir’s torso as Nazir let out a huff. Serafim bit his lip and contained his wailing.

“what happened in your dream, elf?” Nazir asked, using one hand to carry Sera, and the other to stir the soup.

Serafim thought for a moment, trying to remember everything he could.

“Mom. Dad. Gone. They… they took… damn it!” Serafim said, wrapping his hand around his face to hide himself; he wished he wore robes to bed so he could just wear the hood. trying desperately to remember all the Tamrielic he was taught. He thought in Falmeris, and then Ta’agra. Slowly translating into Tamrielic, he associated words with certain things, and played the little pattern game he came up with.

“A monster stole ma away, he stole her from me, and another stole dad, and one stole me. I ran and ran back to them, but I got pa instead of dad and ma, and then monster tried to choke me.” Serafim said, with a huff. The voice spoke to him, saying it would give him knowledge, and Vaermina fought against the monster, it seemed as if they were in an argument about something.

“Just a lad! Just a lad. But they wanted me. Wanted to take me away from everyone— lost everyone. It choked me, hurt so bad, hurt so bad, I couldn’t breathe.” Serafim wailed, squeezing his hands together, he wanted to bite himself so bad. But he knew Nazir wouldn’t let him bite.

“Want to have stew with me? It’ll make you feel warm, and it was just a dream. You’re here, you’re breathing, we can’t get your ma back, but you have Astrid, our mistress.” Nazir said, trying to be soothing.

“Dad and Gabriella say that The Night Mother is our mistress.” Serafim said, calming down slightly. He stopped shaking, and his heartbeat was steady now.

“Well, we don’t have her, now do we?” Nazir said, with a slight groan.

“Don’t like the tentacles that stole everyone.” Serafim said, with a heavy sigh. “Do you think I’ll lose everyone in the sanctuary too?” Serafim asked.

“I promise you won’t, Festus will stay with you until your adult years, I promise you that.”

Fandom: FNAF Security Breach Pairing: Sundrop/Moondrop x Female!Reader Pronouns: She/Her Relationship: Romantic Occupation: Daycare Helper Ability: Animatronic Moon Jellyfish

The character was modeled after a moon jellyfish, so they are an oceanic type animatronic that mostly resided in the daycare to provide assistance when needed within the pizza plex. The appearance they adorn is that of a tall woman and the animalistic part of her design would be, other than a human like face, they would have a large bell (the blob of a jellyfish is called a bell or hood) on top of their head that would act as a large hat, and attached to the underside of the bell are the tentacles and stingers. They are not actually stingers, they help the character locate children and feel for their surroundings. The bell on top of their head also glow in the dark.

Keys:

[F/N]: Female Name [B/C]: Base Color [S/C]: Secondary Color [F/C]: Favorite Color [E/C]: Eye Color

Warnings: spoilers to those who haven’t seen fnaf sb

I have absolutely no clue how tall the animatronics are, so bear with me.

that is all.

“Helper” pt. 2, pt. 3

“Sundrop, allow me to introduce you to the new helper to the daycare.” Sundrop, the Daycare Attendant, stops in his movements and his beaming face turns to look over at where Officer Vanessa was when she entered the daycare. He happily skips over to her at the entrance and there he finally noticed the tall animatronic woman standing behind her, this woman loomed over Vanessa and had a soft smile present on her face “If you haven’t already noticed, this is [F/N] the Jellyfish. She’s going to be your aid here in the daycare, mostly because we’ve been getting complaints from the parents. Introduce yourself.” Vanessa said, stepping to the side to allow [F/N] to step forward, the animatronic woman does so and she directed her soft and kind smile towards Sundrop.

“Hello there, I am the animatronic [F/N] the Jellyfish. I hope I can be of some help for you, Daycare Attendant.” he had to raise his head because whoever built her made her quite tall, Freddy and Monty were taller than her since they stood at nine feet tall, but she was at least 8″3ft tall and much taller than he was. She wore a gorgeous [F/C] pencil skirt that was decorated with stars of all sizes that ended at her ankles with ruffles at the end and around her waist, a simple [S/C] blouse that had ruffles at the collar and wrists. She had a cravat around their neck with a [F/C] ringed speaker in the middle of it and simple white gloves, their skin was [B/C] and he couldn’t see her eyes since they were closed. What stood out about her appearance was the transparent bell that was a lighter shade of [B/C] that sat atop her head with the stingers and tentacles that hung by her side from the underside of the bell and a lighter shade of [S/C] hair that dropped down to below her waist “I wish for us to get along, Sundrop.” 

“...” she raised a brow when she didn’t get an immediate answer, that was because Sundrop could not stop staring at [F/N] for the life of him, he was able to snap out of his day dreaming when Vanessa cleared her throat and gave him a warning glare “O-Oh, jeepers! My name is Sundrop, and I wish for us to get along too!” [F/N]’s smile widened and she lowered her head into a bow.

“Oh, how wonderful.” she lets out a whoa when he grabbed her hand and started shaking it up and down, she giggled softly at the gesture while Vanessa rolled her eyes.

“Good, now that you’ve introduce yourselves, get ready because the pizza plex opens in less than an hour.” [F/N] stood behind Sundrop, who gave Vanessa a droopy grin as he saluted.

“Yes, ma’am! Right away, ma’am!” she rolled her eyes once more before looking up at [F/N] this time.

“You know what you were programmed to do.” she nods her head.

“Of course.” Vanessa nods her head to her before walking out of the daycare, when they could no longer hear her footsteps, the two animatronics look at each other, each with their own smile on their face, one softer while the other was more energetic.

“Oh, we’re going to have so much fun together, new friend!” Sundrop cheers happily, grabbing her hand and bouncing on his feet “We can finger paint! Tell stories! Do macaroni art! Make balloon animals! This is going to be a blast! But, I do have one rule: keep the lights on.” she hums at the way his tone progressively grew darker as he finished his sentence, though she already knew the reason.

“But of course, Sundrop. Rules are simply put out to keep others safe, no?” he beams up at her, now holding her hands with both of his, vigorously nodding his head.

“Yes, yes! I am so glad you agree with me.” introducing her to the children and parents wasn’t so hard either, the parents seemed to like her because she was more level headed and calm in comparison to Sundrop’s upbeat and cheerful personality, and she was quite adored by the children. Sundrop took care of the more boisterous children while [F/N] was left to handle the children who leaned over to the shyer and introverted side and children that overall needed to rest more than to play around. 

“We cannot thank you enough, [F/N]. Our child has been a little overexerted after the performance that Glamgang put on and all the junk food they splurged on.” [F/N] offered the mother of the child she was currently caring for her kind smile.

“Of course, but I do advise that you monitor what your child consumes next time. Overeating food provided by Freddy Fazebear’s Mega Pizza Plex is not healthy for a young child.” the mother nodded her head.

“I’ll take your advice.” [F/N] bids the young child and her parents goodbye with a simple wave before she turns on her heels and makes her way over to the Security Desk, though she was not a security bot nor a security officer like the few human employees, she was programmed to keep on eye on the schedule and the few cameras within the daycare when needed. She picks up the clipboard and her eyes, that were closed, briefly open to see what was next “Naptime, hmm? Then I guess it’s time to meet Moondrop.” she places the clipboard down and proceeds to turn around but was stopped when a young boy grabbed her hand.

“Miss [F/N], Sundrop’s reading us a story and we all want you to participate!” he cheered, she nods softly and lets the young child lead her. 

“How wonderful.” she sat amongst the few children attending the story telling, sitting in a side sit position with a few children laying against her. Sundrop returned after grabbing a book when he saw [F/N] waiting with the children, he was now even more excited to tell the story with [F/N] in attendance. Most of the children and the new animatronic would laugh at the silly voices Sundrop would use for the characters in the story, [F/N] would sometimes joy in by words of encouragement from the children when a female character was introduced. By the time the story had come to the end, the timer for the lights to turn off came and it was now naptime, and evidently, the time for Moondrop to make his appearance. 

Sundrop’s AI shut down and Moondrop’s powered on, he blinked his eyes continuously until his vision came to him. He glanced around and noticed that the majority of the children were already dozing off, he tilted his head to the side in confusion because it usually took some time for the energetic children to fall asleep, and yet here he is and seeing that most of them were already asleep. The sound of humming soon came to his ears and he turned to see the newest animatronic, a child laying peacefully in her lap as a tune played out from the speaker in her cravat while she hummed along to the song, helping the children around her sleep.

“Naughty, naughty~” Moondrop mused, hoping from side to side as he approached the woman, who raised her head slightly at the sound of the voice “It is my job to care for the sleeping children. Who are you to replace me?” he reaches towards her, intent to harm this individual, but let out a choked noise when one of the hands that rest on her lap beside the child’s head shot over and grabbed him by the neck.

“Oh, and here I thought we could get along.” he let out a grunt when the bell on top of her head started to glow, she turned to look at him and her eyes that were closed opened and he got to see her beautiful eyes. Her scelra was like the galaxy while her iris’ were shaped like a diamond star that shun a bright shade of white, she then offers him her smile but hidden behind it was a smirk “I am [F/N] the Moon Jellyfish, let us hope we can work together.”

“You little--” she brought her free hand to her lips and shushed him softly, she points to the child sleeping on her lap as she tightened her grip on his neck.

“Shush now, we wouldn’t want to wake the children, now would we?” her eyes narrowed softly “Now, let us do our job together, why don’t we?” her grip tightened once more and he was forced to agree with her.

“... alright.” her kind smile returned to her lips as she gently put Moondrop down, who immediately raised his hands to his neck and caressed it, frowning slightly when he felt slight dents in the metal “You’re lucky Sun likes you.” she giggles softly.

“The feelings are mutual.” he huffs and turns around on his heel and starts caring for the other children that weren’t around [F/N], she merely shook her head and continued to play with the hair of the child sleeping in her lap, missing the way Moondrop started growing red in the face.

Headcanons:

[f/n] was essentially programmed to babysit sundrop lights on and manage moondrop lights off. 

meaning; her model was designed to be strong enough to take care of moondrop if he ever got a little too aggressive, so when it came down to strength, she would be the third strongest out of all the animatronics.

first being monty, second being freddy, and third being herself. 

vanessa would sometimes come to her whenever monty would get out of hand and have her calm the alligator down when he would have on of his temper tantrums and they got out of hand.

sometimes he would like to have arms wrestles with her.

he would never admit the fact that he struggles pushing her arm down. 

anyways-

sundrop absolutely adores being by her side whenever they have to look after children together, whenever he has the chance to be around her, he does not hesitate to cling to her back and she would let him hang there as she monitors other children.

moondrop doesn’t like to admit that seeing her more snarky side is hot, cool. it’s a complete personality flip.

the first few lights out together was rocky. sometimes he would want to fight her to prove who was better, she’d have him in a lock under her arm in under a couple seconds.

he gave up pretty quickly. 

she acts as a nightlight for the children that sings.

so he joins her when it’s naptime and leans against her big body and falls asleep to her songs, she didn’t let him live it down the first time he did it and would follow him around just to ask how it felt. 

she gets along with glamrock freddy the best out of the glamrock gang, mostly because they both embody that parental figure. him being fatherly and her being motherly, they both enjoy each other’s company a lot and speak whenever she’s free from the daycare.

her and chica get along because [f/n] was also programmed to know how to cook, so she likes making certain dishes and have chica try them out. when she see’s chica eating garbage she scolds her.

her and roxy are a little complicated. more like neutral. roxy sometimes tries to one up [f/n] on multiple occasions, but most of the time [f/n] lets her wins during these competitions. though when [f/n] knows when roxy is having a tough time with her self esteem she helps the poor girl and together they style each other’s hair.

her and monty is funny. she acts quite motherly to him and often takes him to parts and services when he has one of his days just to check if he damaged himself in any way. monty doesn’t want to admit that he likes the doting attention he gets form her.

now for the game plot, when the lights turn off when gregory was in the daycare, [f/n] would awaken from where she was and protect gregory from moondrop.

she would act as a distraction to turn moondrop’s attention towards her while gregory turned on the generators, her eyes also allow her to see in the dark so she directs him to where some of the generators are.

and when sundrop bans gregory from the daycare she would bid the boy goodbye from behind sundrop.

and when the lights turn off at each hour mark, she would leave the daycare in order to protect gregory from moondrop and the occasional other animatronics.

other than that, she is the kind moon jellyfish animatronic that teaches children how to be humble and polite within the daycare.

basically, she’s a nanny for children and sundrop.

Chapter 17 Release the Kraken

The Lucky Duck was a small, single-masted fishing vessel which held about twenty sailors. It’s bowsprit* was in the unique shape of a duck with a pair of dice in its mouth. It, along with another small fishing boat, the Iron Hook, had been sent ahead of the main fleet to bait the sea monster into revealing its position.

*(A bowsprit is that pointy thing at the front of a sailing ship. It’s not meant for ramming, like you might think, but is actually used to tie sails to. - Pallie)

A gangly mermaid danced her way up through the surface of the water, bouncing her hips from side to side with her hands raised over her head. Her fin and hair were black. It was Booan.

“Lally, Lally, loo lee boo bee,” sang Booan. They were just nonsense words.

“That can’t be that monster what scared old Ahab!” said Rumpaye, one of the Lucky Duck’s hands.

“No, I reckon not,” said Visser, the captain, pulling off his droopy hat. “She almost be more like one of them enchanting sirens that have been told of old.”

“Sirens?” asked Rumpaye.

“Aye,” said Captain Visser . “Sirens be beautiful creatures, with voices so enchanting that they turn men mad.”

“But this one,” said a boy on deck, shaking his head, “Ain’t the least bit pretty, and her voice sounds like a seagull’s!”

“Aye,” said Rumpaye nodding in solemn agreement, “She be more like a harpy.”

Booan stopped dancing suddenly.

“Hey!” she shouted furiously, “I can hear you, you know!”

The sailors looked at each other shamefacedly.

“I was just going to make you swim out to me and make you drown,” the witch continued, “But now you’ve done it!”

She turned her head and yelled a series of biting and barking noises, then crossed her arms and looked to be waiting.

In moments ten sharks rose up out of the water. They were all different species, but they all had fierce looks in their eyes and huge mouths full of sharp teeth. Stranger, they held spears with their fins and they all wore bronze helmets with sharp points on the tops.

Men had gathered on the deck of the Lucky Duck and were frozen in shock at the armed sea animals.

“Sharks…” ordered the willowy mermaid, “Charge!”

Clutching their spears tight, the sharks shot forth into the water at full speed and swam towards the boat.

Ten shark fins sped ominously toward the Lucky Duck.

CRASH!

The ship shuddered mightily and immediately began to sink.

A man ran up from the bottom of the boat.

“Captain!” he yelled in a panic. “Sharks! Sharks rammed through the ship! In one side then out the other! They had little helmets!”

Rumpaye, Ernest, and the other gathered sailors looked spellbound at what they had seen.

The captain stared at the men in stunned disbelief for a moment, glanced at the mermaid, who was sneering smugly, then shouted, “Abandon ship!”

Men on the closest ship, the Iron Hook, moved in to help, and one of the men aboard shot Booan with a musket.

“AHH!” screamed the ugly mermaid in rage, clutching her arm and no longer singing and dancing. “You little bunks! I’ll show you what for!”

The crone pointed her ringed hands toward herself and shot out two shimmering black energy bolts.

She threw her arms out and they immediately began to stretch and split into multiple strands. The color of her fin spread up her body, turning her skin black as it traveled up to her head. Her eyes became huge and moved down her head, which grew and grew.

Her arms split off into six separate tentacles and the witch began to look more like a squid. She continued to grow in size, first the size of a rowboat, then a fishing boat, then finally slowing as she became almost as large as one of the prince’s ships of the line. Her tentacles were long, themselves reaching twice as long as her body, and strong.

Lifting one of these powerful tentacles, she smashed it down on the Iron Hook.

The ship ripped in half as the tip of the tentacle tore through the wooden hull.

“Ha, ha, ha!” laughed Booan. “You humans have been bothering the fish for too long!”

*****

“Your Majesty,” said the admiral, peering through a spyglass at the carnage as the squid continued to the batter the floating remains of the Iron Hook, “She’s much bigger than we’d expected, perhaps a hundred feet. This is no mere giant squid, this is a monster… a *kraken.”

*(A kraken is a legendary sea monster that might have looked like a squid, crab, or whale. No matter it’s shape it was said to be a giant ship destroyer. - Pallie)

Men in bright uniforms gasped at the word.

“She be bigger than I remember,” said Ahab. “With twice as many tentacles. Those tentacles, as ya’ saw, Prince Danny, can rip a ship in two; and watch out for her bite, for she’ll swallow men whole.”

“Dan!” whined Aria, thudding over to the officers and causing the ship to quake with each step. In her arms was a barrel. “What’s this stuff?”

“Uh,” stammered Daniel, “That’s spoiled cheese, my dear.”

“Orders, admiral?” interrupted the captain.

The admiral turned to the prince, who looked away from Aria and nodded his assent. The admiral turned to his men. “Signal the fleet,” he commanded. “Spread out and target on starboard. Ready cannons and--”

“Dan!” yelled Aria. “This cheese tastes like garbage.” Her face was covered in smears of orange and green cheese remains.

“Remember dear, it is spoiled,” said Daniel.

“Well, I demand some decent cheese.”

“Soon, my sweet pie. Soon,” said Daniel.

Aria walked away in a huff and continued to stomp around the ship, holding her barrel of rotten cheese and hassling and bothering the sailors.

A sequence of flags were raised to give orders to the fleet. Men pulled on ropes to make adjustments to the sails, turned helms, and loaded guns on those ships that were blessed to have them.

The ships began to take distance relative to each other as they drew closer to their target. The squid didn’t move.

“Why doesn’t she do something?” asked a sailor, tying down a rope.

“It’s a bad omen, that,” said another sailor.

“I don’t know, sir,” said the captain, looking to the admiral. “I’ve known naval combat my whole life but never have I faced a foe like this…”

*****

“Fire!” commanded the officer below deck.

Men brought flaming fuses to the massive cannons below the main deck of the Prince Daniel.

BOOM, BOOM BOOM!

The cannons fired rapidly, shooting a dozen large metal balls from the Prince Daniel, the Goddess, and the Hammer at the gigantic, thrashing squid.

“Sir!” shouted a uniformed sailor with a spyglass in hand, “She doesn’t seem to be hurt.”

Another volley exploded from the ships circling the witch.

“Nothing!” reported the sailor.

The captain shook his head. “They’re just bouncing off of her hide.”

“You can’t hurt me with your weak cannons,” rumbled Booan, “You are no match for me!”

Booan lifted up two of her tentacles, each of which had a little gold ring digging into the massive flesh, and pointed them to the sky. She shot forth two shadowy blasts, and clouds began to circle and swirl around the beams. The sky darkened, lightning crashed, rain fell, and heavy winds began to blow.

“Another devilry,” said the admiral.

“See here,” shouted Ahab, to the prince, from the crow’s nest. “The sharks be back!”

Dozens of sharks in neat rows and columns, armed with swords and spears, wearing bronze armor and pointed helmets, surfaced near the angry black squid. In their front was a massive great white shark with dark scars over his face. It was Fang.

The twenty or so ships, mustered to attack the monster that had been besieging Etenland, continued to circle around their foe from a distance as the sharks split up into groups and sped toward different targets.

“Ready the small arms!” ordered Prince Daniel.

“Signal the fleet!” ordered Admiral Zaarin.

“Make me a ham sandwich!” ordered Aria.

“Command the fishing boats,” continued Zaarin, “To intercept these sharks and keep them off of our warships.”

“And don’t forget my ham sandwich,” commanded Aria urgently, stepping in front of the admiral.

The sailor with the flags looked confused, not knowing which order to take.

“Order The Goddess and Hammer to move up 50 yards with us,” ordered the admiral, scowling and pushing past Aria, “And begin continuous cannon volleys ‘til we send her back to Hades.”

“Who are you sending to Hades?” asked Aria.

The admiral slapped his forehead.

With remarkable speed the fleet reformed, with the three warships spaced apart as they circled the sea monster, and each ringed in by several smaller ships and boats.

Sharks frothed in the water around the ships, ramming their pointed helmets into the hulls of the boats.

Men with muskets and pistolas shot lead balls at the sharks.

“It’s like shooting fish in a barrel!” said a man aboard one of the small ships.

“Aye,” said a sailor in response, “Except it be sharks you’re shootin’ and ya‘ miss a lot, and there be no barrel.”

“Your Majesty,” reported the admiral aboard the Prince Daniel, “The sharks have overwhelmed the Funky Monkey and the Tricky Wench.”

Indeed, two fishing ships that circled the prince’s flagship were taking on water and sinking fast. Men were loading onto lifeboats.

Daniel shook his head slowly. “Some evil gives speed to these sharks...” he said. “Sets their will against us.”

Aria had ordered some of the ship’s hands to set up a hammock for her between two of the ship’s masts.

“Keep it down!” she yelled from her hammock, rolling over and causing the ship to lurch.

Cannon shots that impacted on the squid’s hide were leaving small tears, and dark blood oozed out at several places.

Booan’s squid face contorted in fury and she yelled a series of cusswords. She brought her titanic tentacles up around her head and slowly submerged back into the water.

At once the sharks jumped through the air and back into the water, leaving their targets at peace for a moment.

“They’ve retreated!” cheered some of the men.

“We won!”

The rain-soaked gentlemen officers shook their heads toward each other incredulously.

“Maybe we did more damage than we thought?” offered the captain.

“Ahab,” called Prince Daniel up to the crow’s nest, “Do you have any idea what the monster is planning?”

“None!” he barked. “But I say--”

Before he could finish his sentence the kraken exploded out of the water with incredible force and speed, slamming back against the surface of the water with a deafening clap.

Around her impact a wave rose up, tall as the masts of the largest ships, which spread in a widening circle away from the witch.

Bells rang aboard the ships.

“Hard to starboard!” ordered the captain. “Face us into the wave!”

All of the ships turned as fast as they could into the oncoming wave.

“It’s too late!” screamed men aboard the Goddess, “We’re not going to make it!”

Bishop McCowan could be seen running up and down the ship giving sailors their last rites.

Men jumped from the Goddess, which was still sideways, when the wave struck.

The Prince Daniel, the Hammer, and many of the fishing boats had faced into the wave and rode the mountain of water up high.

Men fell to the back of their ships, some overboard, and others clung on tightly to ropes and anything that was nailed down. Ahab, up on the crow’s nest, was tied in loosely, and he fell out and hung from his legs, while his harpoon flew and wedged into the stern of the ship. Aria was was spun and tangled in her hammock. Zaarin, at the full height of the wave, lost his grip on a rope and fell overboard.

The grand warship, the Goddess, was flipped over, its tall masts cracking and breaking into the water as it capsized.

It wasn’t the only one. Several of the fishing vessels suffered the same fate.

The Prince Daniel and other survivors slowly rode the wave back down.

“Lost the Goddess!” Reported an officer to Prince Daniel, soaked in saltwater.

“The Crusty Clam, too. And Rum Bucket!”

Booan laughed. “You’re no match for an armed and fully operational kraken!”
