Prologue Book 1

A Storm. That was the first thing I saw, Lightning flashing across the sky like God was coming down from Heaven. Raindrops the size of water glasses fell from the sky, crashing onto the deck like tears from a mother, watching her son be lowered into the ground.

“PULL FASTER”(?)

A Shout. Where am I? Who am I?

Didact. My name, I recall who I am. I am from America from the state of Florida. I remember the summer heat, the blazing of the sun while swimming on the beach. The sand, feeling like sugar underneath my feet, soft and easy to push down. I remember running. Why am I running?

A building is ahead of me. A skyscraper, that’s its name. Reaching towards the heavens like a statement. Two of them, side by side, with people entering and exiting, talking and reading.

I enter one of the skyscrapers and go to the main desk. I hear a sound, one that makes every bone in your body quake. One that reaches down and makes your very soul quiver. I am outside. When did I get outside? I see smoke in the sky, pouring out the side of the skyscrapers twin. What Happened?

I’m back inside. Running up the stairs, 1st floor, 2nd floor, the numbers keep climbing. Why am I running so fast? I stop, floor 93, I enter. I am looking around, desperately trying to find something. Hoping to find the thing I am looking for with my whole heart. What am I looking for? Ela, My sister, she works in this part of the building. I feel my heart beating, hammering away like a prisoner hammering away at a wall. Desperate to flee from their confinement. I am scared, I cannot find her. Fire is streaming all around me. I bump into something. A Body. I stumble back, as I fall down. My sister, I recognize her by the locket around her neck. Holding memories of a better time. She is burnt all over her body.

A movement, another, and another. She is still alive. I grab her and run to the stair well, running as fast as I did when I went up. 92nd floor, 91st floor. I reach the bottom of the stair well and run outside with my sister in my hands. Dust. Dust is all I see around me. Wait. I see something. A man. Who is that?

A firefighter, I scream to him for help. He helps me bring my sister to an ambulance. The flashing lights bringing me comfort with hope that she will survive this. A chill. Something cold went down my back. I look around.

A cry. A child is wandering about crying for her mother. I run up to the child. A crash. Knowing something bad is about to happen I cover the child in my arms.

This tale has been pilfered from Royal Road. If found on Amazon, kindly file a report.

Darkness. That is all I see now. A light coming out from the darkness. That shout once again.

“I SAID PULL FASTER, THE LEVIATHAN IS COMING!”(?)

Why are they screaming? What is a Leviathan? What happened to the child?

Another sound, a cry again. Why is it so loud?

“Shh everything will be alright, don’t worry, mommy is here to protect you” (????)- A warm voice reaches my ears comforting me into listening only to her.

“Ell, I’m not sure that the ship will be able to withstand this. SHIT, why did a Leviathan have to come at this point?”(????)- A hint of desperation and anger in his voice

“The gods cannot allow us to live, we have broken a law and have disobeyed one of their commands by having a child.”(Ell)

“No one was supposed to know that we left. Who was it that told them that we would be leaving?”(????)

“I have no idea my love, but you are right. This ship will soon be destroyed, and with are strength being sealed there is nothing we can do to stop it.” (Ell)

What are they talking about? What Gods are they talking about?

I open my eyes and see beauty. No beauty is not a word that could describe how she looks. Black hair flowing over her shoulders, like the waves moving through the sea. Eyes that suck you in, making you unable to look away, dark, yet bright like the night sky with stars in its wake. Lips, bright as an apple, being pushed out, begging for someone to kiss them. A Face, that would put any model to shame, well rounded with cheeks that begged to be stroked. A body that would kill a man with just one glance, with curves in all of the right places, breast the size of melons that protruded from her dress. (No she is not nude) Long legs that looked as smooth as a snake, without a single hair on them.

“I’m sorry that I won’t be there for you when you grow up, but I will find you one day” (Ell)-Tears running down her face.

What are they talking about? What is going on?

That was my last thought before I heard a yell, like a foghorn but coming from a monstrous beast, before everything went dark once more.
