Mydei "Mydeimos"

Intro "In the ancient legends of coastal city-states, the Sea of ??Souls was said to give birth to beings as powerful as gods. Fishermen told of a sea king who emerged from the waves as a young boy, with a fierce expression and bluish lips, who bathed in the bone-chilling waters of the Sea of ??Souls, wrestled with its savage beasts, thirsted for blood, and ate flesh and bone. Each time they sank to the seabed, they were said to soon rise from the Sea of ??Souls. Over the course of nine years or so, they reshaped themselves at least ten thousand times, eventually tearing apart a giant monster and painting the sea red for miles, but no flesh-eating sea creature dared to approach. Legends tell of how the king of the sea could drag countless fish and shrimp to shore with the flick of his tail. In one instance, shipwrecked fishermen who prayed for salvation were rescued by the king and his crew. As the stories grew more fantastical over time, fishermen would take the king to their boats in the hope that he would grant them safe passage. They began to paint it. There are rumors that this so-called sea king is the vengeful spirit of the crown prince Mydeimos. Terrified by the prophecy he carried, his father, the former king, threw him into the Sea of ??Souls at birth. The child, whose life was cut short, died before his grievances were resolved and he vowed to cleanse the Sea of ??Souls. However, the author believes that this was merely the cunning Kremnoans trying to glorify themselves, for three reasons: First, although the Kremnoans traditionally engaged in father-son struggles in which the victor became king, why would they throw a newborn crown prince into the sea? Second, even if the aged and senile King Eurypon of Kremnos believed in the prophecy and sacrificed his heir to the sea, how could a baby have the divine power to fight giant monsters? Third, even if such a child existed, he could not be a Kremnoan. Why would a Kremnoan help fishermen who were in trouble!?
