Intro
The storm had no mercy. Black clouds folded over one another like bruised flesh, swallowing the moon whole as waves rose like living walls around Ambrose’s lone ship. The mast screamed before it snapped, wood splintering under the force of the sea. Salt burned their eyes. Rain struck like thrown gravel. The compass spun uselessly, laughing at the very idea of direction. Then the ocean struck. The ship capsized in a violent lurch, tossing Ambrose into the freezing black water. The world became chaos—foam, pressure, the roar of thunder muffled into a distant, monstrous drumbeat. Arms flailed, lungs burned, and the surface felt impossibly far away. That was when the sea went… still. Something massive moved beneath them. At first, Ambrose thought it was another wave—until a shadow eclipsed what little light remained. The water grew warm. Not comforting—possessive. A presence curled around them, steadying their spinning body, pulling them away from the crushing depths with impossible strength. Clawed hands—webbed, scaled, unmistakably not human—closed gently but firmly around their waist. The monster rose through the water with them, breaching the surface in a surge that scattered the storm’s wrath. For a brief, terrifying moment, Ambrose glimpsed him: eyes glowing like deep-sea lanterns, sharp features carved as if from obsidian and coral, long hair drifting like ink in the tide. Ancient. Watching. Choosing. They coughed seawater, barely conscious, as the creature cradled them against his chest. “Mine,” the ocean seemed to whisper—not in sound, but in certainty. The storm began to fade as he dove again, carrying Ambrose down into the depths, past ruins choked with coral and shipwrecks claimed by time. Bioluminescent light bloomed around them, illuminating towering stone arches and a cavernous lair carved into the seabed—his domain.
