Epic of Caterpillar



-----

The Seas surrounding the Great Island of Matanui were not in a different situation than the Archaea Archipelago. Due to the many chaotic incidents occurring all around them, from the world having changed from one time to another, to Atlantis colliding with Ravenfolt, to the Outer Gods invasion, the people that inhabited the second largest nation in the Realm of Atlantis were thinking the end was near.

Their ancestors rejected Poseidon's protection in exchange for freedom, but this has brought them their ultimate demise in this absolutely unpredictable event. The people of the Matanui island, however, were vastly different than the archipelago, composed of mostly humans and sea elves, they had been growing together for many years, and developed their own culture and religion.

Indeed, a religion independent from the King of the Seas and his Pantheon, they believed in different gods, made from their beliefs that represented the elements of nature that surrounded them, instead of gods that rose from mortals, or that belonged to the ancient times, they had a more spiritual belief of these mythical gods.

They were named the Gods of Matanui, and they composed the holy trinity of the seas… Haumea, the Goddess of Ocean's Life, Kanaloa, the God of Ocean's Destruction, and lastly, Milu, the Goddess of Ocean's Death.

These three mythical gods, represented in the shapes of creatures from the sea, were the ones they prayed to, even if they were nonexistent to the other Gods, to them, they were real…

And now, the people prayed, to the Goddess of Ocean's Life Haumea, believing the God of the Ocean's Destruction has come to rip apart their lives, wrathful of the sins they had committed.

The Leader of the Tribal Union, a tall man with brown skin, covered in many black tattoos depicting sea waves and sea creatures, with long black, tied hair, and sharp sapphire-colored eyes glanced into the waving, chaotic seas.

"Is this… the punishment of Kanaloa for our sins? For having fished too much? For having grown conceited with these peaceful times?" He wondered. "For having defied that Poseidon… that fake god? Oh Haumea… Please, wherever you are…"

SPLAAAASSSHH!!!

Four gigantic totems surrounded the entire island, generating a special multi-layered marrier utilizing the special magic of the people of Matanui, which dealt with controlling spirits. 

But now, most of the spirits they used were weakened, or had grown sick, their barrier which should protect them from the rage of Kanaloa was weak, and countless cracks started to appear above its surface, mirroring the same scenario that happened in Archaea…

Crack, crack…!

"Lady Milu will soon take our souls away…" Sighed an old sea elf lady, sighing. "I am old and weary, so I don't mind… But the children, the future… are they deserving of having their lives taken away so prematurely, oh Lord Kanaloa?" The granny cried, hugging her little grandson, orphaned at a young age.

CRACK!

CRAAASH!

The barrier shattered, a downpour of oceanic water emerged, wildly rushing down endlessly, attempting to drown the entire large city the Union of Tribes had built, which had lasted for hundreds of generations.

Yet…

FLAAASH!

A gigantic figure emerged from the skies, accompanied by a very tiny one. Invisible jaws materialized, devouring the water itself and stopping it from falling into the city. 

CRUUUNCH! CRUUUNCH! CRUUUNCH!

"W-Wha…?!" The Leader of the Tribe Union muttered, his eyes incapable of believing the miracle, the water simply disappeared!

BAAAAMMM!!!

At the same time, a gigantic figure that descended from the skies crushed the entire barrier, making it completely crumble apart into pieces!

RUMBLE!

"T-The barrier is broken?!"

"Who is that giant?!"

"A-A shark?! Is that a shark?!"I think you should take a look at

"Impossible! Lord Kanaloa has descended from the high oceanic heavens?!"

The people was flabbergasted as they saw what looked like a titanic, black-scaled shark… Only to realize that instead of a shark head, it had the upper half of a beautiful, gigantic girl, with long red and purple hair, sharp red eyes, and strong-looking muscles, with dark skin covered on purple and black scales.

At her side, there was a much littler girl, covered on crimson-colored scales and armor-like exoskeleton, her pale white torso resembling an adorable little girl, with long purple and red hair, and sharp crimson eyes, her lower half, instead of resembling a fish, looked like a huge ruby-colored centipede.

"We've made it just in time!" Laughed the giantess.

"Big sis Valentia! You broke the barrier!" Cried the little girl.

"Just create a new one then, Scarlet! I've gotta take care of the wild seas while I can!" Valentia roared.

"Okay!" Scarlet didn't waste a single second, waving her tiny hands as the spectators glanced in utter disbelief. "[Divine Space Magic]: [Dimensional Bubble]!"

FLAAAASSSH!!

A master on Space Magic, little Scarlet easily managed to shape the element of space itself, one of the hardest to ever harness, and created an even stronger and more secure barrier surrounding the entire island, a split of a second before the sea waves were to consume it all on a gigantic tsunami!

SPLAAAAASSSSH!!!

The waters simply clashed against the invisible barrier, the people clamored in joy, thinking their Gods had descended to aid them! Their prayers… they had listened to them!

At the same time, Valentia's sharp claws gathered her Divinities, as she smiled.

"Little Aarae's doing her best too, I can't just do less than her now!" She roared, smiling. "[Divine Chaotic Sea Queen's Magic]: [Chaotic Seas Swirling Tornado]!"

She rose her gigantic arms as she manipulated the surrounding seas, pushing them into the skies in the form of a titanic tornado, surprising the spectators even more!

FLUOOOOOSSSH!

"You did it big sis!" Scarlet was surprised.

"GRUOOOHHHHH!!!"

However, from the depths of the sea, something else emerged, something darker, overflowing with miasma and darkness! No, it wasn't just one, but many shark and fish-shaped abominations.

"So they're here already!" Valentia laughed. "Alright then, have it back at ya! RAAAAH!"

With a mighty roar, Valentia manipulated the sea vortex and pushed it towards the incoming Miasmic Aberrations, blowing them away!contemporary romance

BOOOOOMMMM!!!

"The Ocean's Tear… Where is it…?"

However, amidst the chaotic oceanic waves, Valentia noticed a titanic figure slowly making their way towards Matanui…

"Who…? Who is it?!"

"The Ocean's Tear… Give it… to me…"

It was the figure of an enormous Titan's decaying body… brought back to life.
