AUDRIC AND THE DEEP SEA GOD

Auric and the deep sea god

It's beautiful, Audric whispered as she saw the mysterious object for the first time. She'd seen nothing like it before and couldn't help but touch it again and again for fear it might disappear soon.

What is this? she asked, wondering how a strange object could exist in such a desolate location.

Where did it come from? She turned to her companion, also entranced by the object. You're the one with magic, she reminded him. Do you have any idea what it is?

The scholar, Giordan, nodded in agreement despite not being sure what it was. It didn’t matter after all, since Audric had no way of knowing if he was telling her the truth. As much as he disliked lying, he found himself unable to admit that his magic wasn't strong enough to answer her query.

Instead, he went over to where his backpack laid and pulled out the book that contained every spell he knew. He ran his fingers across the etched sigils until he came across a particular spell that would help. He then used to channel a small amount of magic into the object before him.

His eyes widened as an egg materialized in front of him. It was a strange-looking one.

Through it, they saw an outline.

It resembled a human from the waist up, though it was much more muscular and had strange tattoos inked on his chest and shoulders. From the waist down, it looked like a cross between an octopus and a squid, with its large tentacles surrounding its mouth.

It might be a god, the scholar tried to explain even though he knew Audric wouldn't be able to comprehend it in its entirety. At least I think it is. I've only heard of them in stories. Giordan looked over at his companion with concern before continuing. I don't know who this one is though.

Audric opened up the halves of the egg and a loud hissing sound filled the air. The first thing she noticed was that there was no liquid inside, which was why it had been so light to push despite its enormous size.

Instead, a mist escaped from within it, which smelled of brine and fish. The two companions were dumbfounded about how such magic created such a smell.

Yes, they heard an echoing voice, startling them both. I am Nelos. Entrapped… The creature paused before continuing, which made Audric suspect it was hiding something from them.

Still, she held back her tongue and let the creature continue its speech. I am an old god of the ocean. However, I have been in here for so long that I do not know if there are still any children of the Kraken left.

Upon hearing this shocking news, Audric covered her mouth. She already found it strange that Giordan wasn’t sure what the creature was before.

And now, he revealed that something had cut him off from the rest of the world by an unknown force.

How could this much magic come from such an isolated place?

Giordan nodded and tried to move closer while still keeping a safe distance from Nelo’s tentacles. Audric tried to gauge Giordan’s reaction, but she wasn't sure what they should do next.

She knew Giordan had some way of searching the creature’s mind, but there were limits to what knowledge he could gain in such a manner.

Audric opened her mouth to question the god further, but Nelos cut her off with a sharp hiss. You must help me, he pleaded. The magic that me trapped also keeps me alive is failing and I cannot maintain it on my own.

What happened? Audric asked, her voice full of concern for the creature before them. She knew if they could not find out what had caused this, then there would be no hope of fixing it at all.

Nelos recounted how many years ago, a group of veiled men had approached him in its lair and disrupted the magic surrounding his home. The deity tried to fight them, however; they prepared for his attacks.

He realized this group was a rogue sect of mages who could hold most of the water back with sheer magic alone and contain him in the egg's prison.

Since then, he’d been unable to find a way out and lost track of the passing of time.

Deprived of water, they had reduced him to a large saline egg.

Audric couldn’t hide the terrified look on her face as Nelos told his life
