Peeps The Dolphin

Zyerrrrrrrrrrruuuuuummmm.

Zyerrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuummmmm.

Zerrrrrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuummmmmm.

The zigzagging rip in the barrier hummed after being torn down it’s side, magic spilling out of it like the guts of a fallen warrior upon the battlefield .

“Quite an impressive sword,” I remarked as I took my first steps off a plank and unto the boat, the sounds of wet plank marking my passing by squeaking underneath my feet. “Best be careful with it lady , peeps gets jealous.”

In the water below a dolphin squeaked , Peeps wiggled and waited eagerly for the ship to scoot out of their way , so they too could pass through the torn opening and unto freedom.

I turned to the captain , “what is your name captain?”

“Lysa “

“Set sail Lysa , it is time to make way !” I pointed below. “Quickly, Otherwise my dolphin will be stuck.”

She stared back impassibly, “I am the captain of this vessel scourge , If you want to command a vessel get your own. “

She turned to her crew,

Lower the sails! “

WuvWuvWuvWuvWuvWuv!

WuvWuvWuvWuvWuvWuv!

WuvWuvWuvWuvWuvWuv!

A slight humming going off drew my attention my head turned below , where attached to the hull of the ship were two orbs.

I blkinked, head falling into palm.

The orbs took in water like a human does air ,pulling in the sustenance and swelling in size , when they seemed to reach fullness the orb shook a few times , paused and began to glow red.

I blinked again.

‘Szzzzzz,’ steam poured out and into the air , flowing into the under arch of the sails above. Shortly after , the steam had risen to gust like proportions and the sails had opened .

Those ...... looked like balls.

“Gain way !,”

In the booming voices of three men the ship passed through the barrier and just like that I was free. Rather anticlimactic I thought. “The start to a good journey should be dramatic.” I said aloud accidentally.

“You seek dramatics scourge?”

Lysa the captain walked toward me , Metal chinking from her steel boots as she approached. “The seas are full of plenty of things to gather your attention , few know of that better than you. In the meantime scourge , would you like to meet the crew?”

“The crew huh,” My eyes turned to the mysterious group of warriors all wrapped in the same color armor ,filled to the brim with discipline and seriousness.

“I’ll pass.” I walked to the edge of the ship instead waiting for peeps to pass through. They were below the water , but their fin was as visible as day as they approached.

“Squeakkk!!!!!” He yelled as he passed through the barrier , he flipped and turned as he regained freedom . “Hell yea peeps, we’re finally free.” I mumbled the words then , the impact of them swirling through my head.

“We’re finally free. Finally .” And so I climbed upon the edge of the ship, a fresh breeze taking my hair and running through its edges while the salt of sea water fell upon my tounge.

I was really free now.

Boy was it great. With a sway of the wind my shackles clanked. I looked down at them , now I just gotta get these off .

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

“….Scourge , I hope you understand even for one such as you , those chains can’t be broken once equipped ..our oath is in place as well, words watched by the clock god himself above. Even you must obey that . “

Lysa the Captain grasped her sword and continued to add on things but at that point I wasn’t listening, I was basking in the moment. ‘ Another chance huh , I think this time I'll take my time seeing more of the sea. I turned my head in my hands at the thought. maybe less loud than before , maybe more loud, hard to say really, but I did know this , I wouldn’t not appreciate every moment this time . I wouldn’t waste a second. I breathed deep .

“I am Suver The Leviathan. Bask in my presence.”

Arms locked behind my back , I surrendered to space , the wind gently rushing past me as I made it to my destination.

‘Splash!’

I went to kick my feet , but like I had gotten hit with a spell of a thousand tons my body fell, pulled as it was by the cuffs on my wrist glowing a subdued red. My eyes widened as they took me below.

Blurggggggghhhh Bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop bloop .

Bloop.

I Suver The Leviathan had been swallowed into a watery grave.

——————

‘Squeakkkk!!!!” On a rapid swivel a dolphin raced towards me mouth open and eyes firm. ‘Munch ‘ In one bite the cuffs were shattered.

And so , I emerged .

A simmering cyclone beneath the waves wrapped around my body , it’s rapid torrents twisted and turned coiling until the waves began to rip the ocean in mighty circles. Underneath the water I stood, feeling the amount of power I had in my bones. My hand clenched a little and water rushed forward ramming the sea. Hmmmm , wasnt much , but it would do .

“Leviathan Arts, Body Magic.”

The cyclone ripped from the water , wrapping the boat like a snack strangling it’s prey, snaring it in the tides of the sea. I shot past , water falling away in a curtain as I burst into the air. In moments I stared from above, wrapped around by the spiraling force of nature that held me. Power thrumming through my body. With both hands i hhelkd unto the water and then in a twist, the boat skid through the water, the boat creaked violently as it almost fell to its side.

I descended.

In my ears the booming of a giant tundra followed , spiraling as I rushed toward the deck. As I fell i took in the eyes of the crew I hadnt' bothered to meet.

"It was nice meeting you."

Then there was destruction.

With a heavy backhand encased in a wall of water a group of ten men were flicked out of the vessel, bones bending beneath the force of a hurricane. I twisted and spun sending a whip of water spiraling forward that shattered the mast, its collapse sending rubble in all directions. With one forceful kick, water projected forward, tearing a gouge that ran through the hull knocking out ten more.

“Meahahahhaha!" I laughed, inhaling the fresh air. " I am back ! Suver the Leviathin has returned! Run for your lives mortals , you are on the ocean of Suver now, Mwahahahaaha! Meahahahaha! “

A crew grasping their weapons in fear and a captain clutching their sword all looked on with faces full of the grit one attains when facing death.

They attacked .

A minute later I stood above them again , torrent high as the last of the crew fell into their watery grave, with no dolphin to save them either, just a captain who determinedly held their sword .

Across my body were shallow lines of blood dripping slowly from where she had cut me , on her was the damage that comes with being hit with a ton of water. Her breath was heavy , she will fall soon, I thought looking her over.

Out of respect I decided to make it grand . From my height in the air , I gathered the water , and formed it like a tip of a sword.

“This will be the day where you almost, caught , Suver The Leviathan!"

The blade fell to my cackles of laughter.

“MwahaHahha! Mahahahah ! Mwahahaha! “

Except it didn’t . The sword, A mere four feet away from Lysa the almost defeated Captains head …. broke apart , my cyclone finished and I, Suver the Leviathan ,fell from the water to the deck below .

Thwack!

It was pain , so much pain as I climbed to my feet , I reached inside myself for the essence I would need to bring it back, the power I had . No, I thought darkly , that was it? my face fell , they took my body and my magic power ? They made me weak twice . Those heathens.

Clack , Clack , Clack.

The captains feet knocked the deck as she approached, her sword pointed to the heavens , an aura of blue and white extending high into the sky. So high, that a passing bird who ran into its path lost a wing and tumbled to the ocean below.

“Fuck .” I thought . She was going to take my head .

The sword fell.

“Squeakkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!”

----------------------BWOP! "

Like a flying trapeze a dolphin flipped above the water , body enlarging rapidly as they approached in aquatic fury. By the time it’s flipper collided with Lysa it was the size of a killer whale .

"Boom!"

With a grunt of pain Lysa flew into the side of the ship , wood cracking beneath her. As she fell, her sword fell from her hand where it was scooped up by the dolphins teeth in a finishing flip that took them over the edge.

On the side of the ship , in the bobbing waves that extended in every direction as far as the eye could see. A killer whale sized dolphin flicked a Legendary flower blade up into the air and swallowed it whole.

Nothing happened for a few seconds as Lysa stared desperately over the ships edge , just the morning silence broken by the labored breathing of I and her, who lay on the edge of the deck.

Lysa's face fell , as the sight she saw ruined her day. A symbol of a flower had begun to appear on Peeps blubber, then another and another , until it was full to the brim. Peeps looked high into the sky and spat out the sword allowing it to clamor to the deck where Lysa looked over it devastated, only one flower remaining on her sword.

“I told you . “ I began as the woman looked over her now significantly less legendary sword .

“Don’t let Peeps get to it. “
