kalon name :: Cap. Caviar
prompt ::

A stormy dark sea approached the ship of Caviar and his crew as the waves crashed against his ship the wood creaked ever so lightly.
` On your right captain` A crewmate exclaimed. Caviar was already use to hearing myths like the Lochness monster, or megalodon from his pops when he was a boy. But nothing that he would learn from his pops would prepare him for what he was about to see. For what appeared to be a 7-foot-long whale "What's the big deal tryna' mess with me brat?! Just a normal calf mayb' lost from its momma'! " Caviar would exclaim as he stomped off to his den; the captains' quarters were his safe place for he did not like the ruckus and games his fellow crew would play. The whale would follow them as the crew would watch it closely, they'd notice that the whale looked like it was coming... up. This whale appeared to be a 120-foot-long shark -- No not even shark octopus maybe even... A monster..
Crew mates swore like a sailor running with their tails tucked behind their back as Caviar would rush from the den which had been burrowed amongst the ship under the wheel; in his loud commanding voice "What's the ruckus for boys?! Ain't ya' heard of some peace and quiet on nights like these!" As Caviar would look over the beak of the ship, he would come to realize what the issue was. "Open the sails boys!" He yelled in his mighty voice. "I aint' losin' to no sea ' monster ' today." he would say in a bratty girly voice mocking the sailors. Caviar's pop' always told him to face his fears even if scared those sailors will hound ya' like dogs when they smell fear 'Instill fear in them.' he'd repeat to Caviar when he was a youngin. Caviar fired the ship up and let the wind gracefully glide them along from the sights of the creature who seemed awfully slow due to its size. Caviar would watch from the beak with one foot up like the proud captain of a crew he is. As the thing would "Slowly speed towards" them, In caviar's own words. Caviar would throw the harpoons hoping to scare off the beast soon learning that there was a pod of them, maybe around 5 or 6 of them a huge 120-foot-long whale-shark-octopus concoction was enough to make Caviar's heart jump but not too much to make him still like half the crew had been. "Oh! You big baby's ya' need me to call ya' mama?!" "Get to work!!" He'd yell at the crew making them come back to their senses that they still have time to save their lives. Sails high, wind smooth and the captains voice through all rang the most -- "We're getting home safely boys! If it costs my darn' life!" The sailors would amp up their movements rushing around slowly but surely getting away from the creatures who had got oddly close so much they could have damaged the ship if they wanted to. Caviar had always been scared of losing his life on the sea, but this moment slowly made the Kalon realize that if this is what makes him happy, he should strive for it. He shouldn't never let fear control him into forbidding the sea of his presence.
Caviars crew landed safely on dry land and wished their captain safe travels for they wanted a break for a day or two if he were to continue his adventures without a crew.

It happened so fast...
Falling backwards... looking up to see the the look of horror on the crews face. Pain in his back from hitting the water suddenly... The rush of cold water that sent chills down his spine... being pulled deeper into the ocean. Then came the impending feeling of doom that he fell off the boat...
He felt panic creep in. He couldn't see too well underwater with the storm. The water was murky and dark. His heart began to beat faster. Ryder kicked his legs as fast as he could to correct himself, but he wasn't sure which way was up.
He reached the surface of the ocean and took in a gasp of air. He flayed his arms around and tried to focus on what was happening around him. He felt droplets on his face. It was still pouring out, the winds seemed to have picked up. His hair was thrown around and covered his eyes making it hard to see. Every wave took him further from the boat. He felt his heart sink...no matter how hard he pushed his body to swim forward, he could still feel a sense of doom as he watched the ship drift away.

Ryder felt his body slow down before coming to a complete stop. His body shook from rough uneven breaths from over exerting himself... tears started swelling up in his eyes. A mixture of his hair stinging his eyes and the thought of being alone... and not being able to grab anyone's attention to turn the boat around to come save him...
A wave crashed into him from above and turned him right around. As he reached the surface he felt another cold chill as the water swirled around him. His paws were starting to feel numb from fear and exhaustion. Ryder was giving up.

He looked up to the sky to feel droplets fall onto his face. He closed his eyes for a brief moment. It gave him a strange sense of calm. Even the sound of the ocean became soothing...he thought to himself...only he could save himself now.
He opened his eyes once more and had a better look around. He noticed another ship passing by, and he was within ear shot of the crew. He felt his muscles ache as he swam with all his might to reach it. That spark of hope allowed him to focus on a pirate looking out. He was pushed back under water for a moment by another wave, but this time was different. He found the strength he needed to swim back to the surface and gasp for air. His gasp alerted the pirate and he scurried to grab a rope and throw it down to Ryder. His body ached as he grabbed the rope, but he never felt so much relief. Ryder exhaled and chuckled, he looked back down at the waves crashing into the ship. He did it...

Davi knew what he was doing was dangerous, and probably downright insane, but he felt like he had to do something. He unlashed his ketch, the Starling, from the dock and set course for up the coast. More and more sailors in the past month have returned to his hometown with battered ships and wild tales of a creature enchanting them to almost crash into a rocky cove. He didn’t believe them, and figured it was just a case of embarrassment and a sailor’s pride at work. Before he could check it out for himself, he noticed his fellow townsfolk and sailors gathering harpoons and nets to try and catch the creature. No one is faster than him on his Starling though, and he grunts with effort to swing the sail into position to steer further from the coast, muttering under his breath, “Sirens, there’s no such thing. It’s all just old tales meant to frighten children away from the dangerous parts of the sea. Well, I’m not afraid.”
The waves are choppy, and the sky is hidden behind a thick layer of clouds. There is plenty of daylight left, and Davi knows the coast like the back of his paw, but he shouldn’t linger out here for very long. The mist kicked up hides the cove until Davi is practically right on top of it. And then he hears it…a solemn and haunting call drifting across the water. He tries to maneuver his ship into a protective crack in the rocks, but the strong feelings of shock, fear, and realization of what he is hearing causes his fingers to loosen their grasp just as a large wave rocks his boat and throws him overboard. Davi lands hard on one of the shallow rocks and the air is pushed out of his lungs as another wave crashes over him. The churning water is impossible to see through as his body is tossed around in the current. The last thing he remembers is something powerful dragging him down into the water…
When he finally comes too, he is surrounded by rocks with the steady sound of waves pounding the outside walls. With a start he jumps up and looks around before meeting the red and green eyes of a creature he’s never seen before. It slowly approaches him, though not afraid of his presence. “Hai! You’re pretty gutzy to be sailing out there right now, good thing I grabbed you before your ship crushed you against a rock. The name’s Calileia by the way. What’s yours?” Her voice is almost song-like and echoes in the small cave. “Davi.” He manages to sputter out. “Nice to meetcha Davi!” She replies with a friendly grin, and Davi can’t help but smile back.

Drowning.
The robber taking air from their lungs with a haunting beauty.

A stormy night. The waves on the ocean turned and the sky rumbled in fear, eternity waited in the ocean. The large wooden boat seemed to be shaken with a great force, the shouts of sailors causing a ripple on the water but was quickly swallowed into the deep. Calmness waited under the ocean's waves, bright eyes of red glowing with the blood dripped moon, the sailors knew it was a bloody omen, the ocean knew this too.

Breath. A world of black and blue covered the expanse of his vision. They were getting closer. The creaking sound of the ship's old wooden boards against the crashing waves fell in his ear, a March of death getting nearer. Closer and closer the shadow of the ship came, blasted by the raging ocean with no relief in sight. Calmness felt his heart tighten, and icy grip made it hard to breath, hard to think. This was the moment, the moment he had been preparing for all his life. If he failed… they would hunt him too.

Fear gripped him tightly and the oceans currents sung of his impending doom. It was here. His scarlet pupils constricted and the world became clearer. Quick. Fear was pushed aside and the adrenaline aided to keep his mind clear. He breached the ocean waves, his inky black hair bleeding into the daunting sea, but his eyes remained bright against the backdrop. He could see now, the fear not too different than his own on the faces of the sailors. It seems they too even felt fear. A bubbled chuckle and bright smile, the stage was set.

Haunting music of the oceans maiden. Enchanting hummings of a deadly creature. The older sailors shouted in horror but it was far too late. A sailor stood at the edge of the boat, a fanatical look in his eyes as he looked at Calmness. Calmness looked back, a flick of his tail and even more melodious tune danced from his lips, begging the sailor in. SPLASH! The sailor hit the water and he immediately pounced before they could regain their mind. A blow of air as he dragged the man under.

Widened eyes looked in horror but the beauty stopped his struggle. Down and down he dragged the man until the man became one with the ocean. Calmness looked at the ship's hull once again before diving down into the blackened water. The fear he had felt from his first hunt was gone, instead he was left with elation. He now need not fear the sailors, their deadly nets and sharp hooks, he could fight. He had finally found the enchanting voice that would take them silently, without a whisper of their woes.

They would fear like he had feared, they would cry like he had cried, they would scream like he had screamed. They now would fear the monster of the ocean, the singer of death.
