Story: Insidious swam around the silent Cardinal Cove in despair. All of his plotting and work had lead to.... this? Sure, his father was dead, but he had also meant to kill Orus, his goody-goody brother that everyone just loves. Then he, the great Insidious, would be in charge. No one would question him. He would be greater than any of his family. He would!
But his plan backfired. His father dead, but Insidious was now trapped in this horribly pathetic Cardinal Cove to rot from boredom.
No! He would not let that happen. Insidious swam frantically around the dark waters and growled to himself. He would come back, and then all would see that he, Insidious, was the only Teuthida for the job. He would show all of them who was really in control! The dark purple and blood-red Teuthida flashed over to a small hole in a rock that he kept as a fortress. It was nothing, but it was all he had.
He quickly picked up his sharp piece of white rock and his large flat slate and started drawing a map.
“The distance from Cardinal Cove to the palace.... hm....” Insidious crinkled his forehead. “To be decided....”
Insidious took a piece of dead sponge and wiped away the board entirely. He started again, this time more carefully.
“A few miles, perhaps...” he muttered to himself. A shrill cackle ripped from his throat but ended up in a fit of coughing. Insidious slapped his dark purple gut and continued to draw. “Yes, yes, that will do.”
Now, the exiled Teuthida knew that it would be one of the hardest things he had done to get back to the palace from Cardinal Cove, but once he got there he had his venom. Ah, yes, the venom of his own kind, the Octoling. All he had to do was put some in a vial and pour it all over the royal rooms in the palace. After that, he was free to do whatever he wanted.
Insidious made a snap decision. He would return to the palace. It was time to go. He darted out of his ‘home’ and started swimming in the general direction of Couran Cove.
Insidious was on the move.
