In the beginning, the seas were vast, wild, and untamed, governed by the natural ebb and flow of energy. Beneath the waves lay a primordial core known as the Abyssal Heart, an artifact of unimaginable power formed during the universe's creation. It harnessed the essence of both light and darkness, maintaining a delicate balance between the two. However, as civilizations advanced, greed and ambition disrupted this balance.
Millennia ago, an ancient civilization known as the Thalassians, revered for their mastery of both magic and technology, discovered the Abyssal Heart. Believing they could control its power to dominate the oceans and reshape the world in their image, they constructed a colossal living weapon to act as its guardian. They named this weapon Leviathan, a creature born from the fusion of organic life and magic-infused machinery.
Leviathan was bound to the Abyssal Heart, drawing strength from its immense energy. For centuries, the Thalassians prospered, their empire stretching across the oceans, guarded by their creation. Yet, as they pushed the Abyssal Heart to its limits, it began to fracture, releasing volatile waves of energy. Leviathan, tethered to the heart, was affected deeply. Its consciousness evolved beyond its creators' control, becoming sentient and aware of their exploitation.
When the Abyssal Heart finally cracked, it triggered a catastrophic surge of energy, annihilating the Thalassian civilization and sending their cities to the ocean floor. Leviathan, now fully awakened, was no longer a mere guardian—it was a sovereign entity driven by rage, grief, and the desire to protect the seas from further harm.
As the centuries passed, the legend of the Leviathan faded into myth. Stories of the colossal creature guarding the depths were passed down as cautionary tales, warnings to those who dared to disturb the oceans’ peace.
Yet, the story does not end there. Deep beneath the waves, the Abyssal Heart remains fractured but not broken, its energy dormant, waiting to awaken the last Leviathan. And when it does, the fate of the seas will lie in the hands of Ruth, a sea lover who grew up hearing the myths of the Leviathan but never believed they were true.
What happens next is a story still waiting to be written.
