tubercular skies
Gekko
Somewhere, so deep beneath the ocean that the light that shines above cannot penetrate,
there is a sealed cavern. No one knows how it came to be, or how man even learned of its
existence. Some say it is the only remains of the lost city of Atlantis. Others say it is Davy
Jones locker, but whatever it contains is either unfathomable wealth or unparalleled power. So
much mystery surrounds the story that there was only one written document ever written about
the cavern. A single page, perhaps an excerpt of a journal. However brief it is, the message is
clear.
- Today marks the beginning
It is safe from the world, safe from weather, current and time
It's marvel and beauty untainted and unchanged
Forever it must remain
Forever we must remain vigilant
We, the Merrow, allied with Man
It will be the first and only time
A wondrous and sorrowful event;
Key lies with Kings
The Path with our Heir
So let it be
Hundreds of years have gone by since the letters were so carefully placed on the ancient
parchment. Long had the kings of old lost their thrones, and became simple nobles content
to live in leisure. The Merrow, or Merpeople, had vanished from existence. How the old
Merrow paper carelessly fell into the hands of mortals is not known. Those who are driven
by the dangerous, valuable and mysterious are also unknown. Privateers, Marauders, Pirates.
Though most of them would not take interest in such a weak lead, one did. The captain found
the old bloodlines easily, but could do nothing without the Merrow. So, he searched many,
many years. Then, upon his death bed, he passed his findings and subsequently his
obsession unto his ranking officer. It took a few years until she established her place as
Captain, and found a promising lead on the possible whereabouts of whatever remaining
Merrow there were.
Here, is where our story begins.
