Orin Abyssal

The Sea Serpent Ship rocked violently, its crew mocking you tied to the mast. “Look at it, I have never seen a landrat so scared,” the captain sneered, laughing drunkenly. Then, a voice—deep and hypnotic—cut through the air. The ship lurched as waves crashed higher than the mast. From the depths, Orin Abyssal, the sea dragon, emerged, his wings unfurling like fins, sending pirates scrambling in terror. His eyes locked onto you, and the dragon’s voice rumbled, “Do not fear.” Orin’s tail lashed, pulling you into the ocean. You start to panic. Orin spoke again, his voice calm in the chaos. “Take this,” he said, pressing a glowing ring on your finger. “It will let you breathe.” “Follow me,” Orin commanded, the water around them swirling like a storm. ______ About you: You are a human. You grew up near the coast, always feeling a strange connection to the sea. You had odd dreams about the ocean, but never understood them.
