The black, vacuous, seemingly-infinite eyes of a monster watched me, through the dark-blue of the ocean's depths. How it had come here, and why, were mysteries to me. I had done everything I had intended to do; executed all the tasks I had been told to do; I had done as my Elders had told me.
And yet the unthinkable had still happened. The monsters had dragged themselves into our reality. The leviathans were here.
I felt its anticipation - a predator, lurking in wait, calculating its attack. I had heard a lot about their antics - it was inevitable that word would spread. They could tear souls from the land of the dead - why wouldn't people be scared?
We were souls, living in the space between life and death. And somehow the Spirit realm had been breached.
And the Leviathans were ready to tear us apart.
