[OC] Kraken Aqua, God of the Bathysmal Depths
"They say that at the point where Gaia's 0 degree latitude and longitude meet, in the center of the Great Stellar Sea, there lies an island that is untouched by man. Many heroes have sought it, but few have returned.
...Does fame allure you so much, brave but foolish traveler, that you would sacrifice your peaceful life and venture into waters as unpredictable and tempestuous as its Mistress' temperament?"
-The wandering minstrel who sings at the town square
"They say that at the point where Gaia's 0 degree latitude and longitude meet, in the center of the Great Mare Stellaris' blue expanse, there lies an island untouched by man, landbeast and skybeast all alike.
...The island is said to be a silent, lonely garden, one where the God of the Deep Seas waits for her lover: the God of the Earth. Should that island truly exist, it is still a realm made for the Gods, and perhaps, it is for a good reason that it hides itself in the heart of the Great Sea."
-The Chief Priest at the Temple Hill
"The tomes speak of a sacred, lonely garden in the heart of the sea, a beautiful island shaped like a maiden asleep in quiet repose. Nestled within its heart is a garden of apple trees with silver bark and vivid blue leaves, as blue as the brightest turquoise, bearing apples of solid gold that taste like the most intoxicating wine.
It is said to be the home of the Mistress of Water, a place where She can remain on the Land that her beloved had once raised from the dark, abyssal depths, to give her a taste of sunlight and wind.
...It must be an enchanted land, my friend, for many have come to its coordinates, but none have found its snow-white sands. I believe that to seek the holy land is akin to blasphemy, my friend. Do not give in to your lust for fame."
-the Librarian and Geohistory Professor at the Capitoline University
"The...Island of the Sea God...? Yes. It is out there. But...tell me, valiant hero, why would you want to seek it? What drives to seek its shores?
...The apples in her garden...you say they cure illnesses of any kind? It is written in ancient codexes? And you want it for your...bride's ailing father?
*in a small whisper to herself* Strange, do they really do that? I only use them to make pies...
No, I said nothing of note. I know how to reach that Island. Ignore the maps and the tomes. Sail towards the moon on the night of the Perigee, and you shall find the marble white sands...if your heart is clear, and your intentions selfless, that is. You may take one- and I warn, only one apple. If you leave without succumbing to greed, then the starlit currents will safely guide you back home.
...Why do I say it with so much confidence, you ask? Hm. That is a question to which I cannot give you an answer. ...Why do I freely divulge the details to you, yes? Hm. That is a question to which I have no satisfactory answer. Why not seek the answers yourself, brave hero?"
-A strange passerby at the beach.
