Part 4 - The Walkway

...Lucinda took what courage she had left and searched out the fiend. Her mind raced with thoughts about her love.

"I-need-to-focus."

Lucinda didn't realize that she was walking deeper in the sea. The tunnel hid above ground. It was a secret lair that hadn't been discovered until now.

The cold dampness of the crevice started to affect her. Her teeth chattered as she searched for clues. The blue stains were getting bigger and smelled like vomit. The putrid walk was becoming more difficult to bear.

Meanwhile, Jaygon raced through trying to find his beloved. "I'm not going to let you get her Sliver. I know who you are!"

By the time that Jaygon reached the tunnel it split into three ways. The right way, wrong way, and the one that would get you killed way.

"Lucinda!" He tried to hear her voice but there was nothing. He missed the sweet sound of her voice.  It gave him such joy and peace, and he loved her so much.

Suddenly he was taken aback remembering when Leviathian got him.

It seemed like a typical day. He walked on the beach and swam in the ocean. Sharks appeared, but ran like a dart as the thing neared. The fresh smell of the water turned sour. The tone was so dark that the heaviness overwhelmed Jaygon. A volatile substance disoriented him. The confusion masked its tentacles encircling him. He barely realized that its mouth was about to consume him, and he watched his energy drain as the arms of this thing squeezed out Jaygon's life force.

The memory shook up Jaygon. He realized that the same thing would happen to Lucinda if he didn't stop it.

Which direction would he take? Suddenly, a seashell metamorphosed from the dank ground. As a leap of faith he threw the shell. It stopped in the air like a wire held it. It spun around and flew in the left side of the path. The walkway glowed as the crustaceous figure flew down the tunnel.

"I'm coming Lucinda! Hang on!"

Jaygon thinks it will be simple. He's wrong!...

Part 3 - Reunited

..."Jaygon?"

"Yes Lucinda, it's me."

"But - what - how? I thought you were gone."

"I was, and then I was brought back to help you."

Lucinda cried as they embraced. It had been such a long time since she saw her love. Leviathian had taken him a long time ago when they were younger.

It was a happier time. There were rumors of darkness, but not like today. When Jaygon and Lucinda first met they didn't like each other. He thought she was a snob and she'd get annoyed at his antics. Always teasing and making fun of her.


For a moment they forgot where they were. Inside a cave with blue blood everywhere. Not the best place to say hello and get reunited again.

"We need to get out of here before it comes back."

"No Jaygon! I've waited too long for this."

"Lucinda, that light that you saw was from me. I used it to keep Leviathian from killing you. I couldn't bear that." Tears formed in his eyes, "I love you and I'm NOT losing you again."

"But - Jaygon - I - must -"

"Lucinda, No!"

As she slinked back further in the rocks and heard Jaygon's screams she thought, "I have to do this. I - need - to..."
