Nero ( Rise Of The Sea God )
Fishman Island
It was the day the world was coming to an end
For 40 days and nights the sky cover in a thigh dark blanket of stormy clouds that rain down giant bolts of lightening.
Bolts so powerful that it destroy everything in its wake, sending deadly surges of electrical energy across the entire land.
Every sound of thunder shakes the very air and the planes of the land of the world
Rain pour down non-stop the entire time. Causing the seas to overflow. Reaching the very lands to wash away homes, families, friends and loved ones.
Animals, farms and crops was not spare.
Earthquake shook the entire earth of the world with no end.
Making the world split open and swallowing up villages, towns, and even kingdoms.
Volcanoes all over erupted. Sending molding hot lava to burn away of what is left of the world.
The ashes fill the air with poisons and gases that kill everything that comes in contact with it.
People, animals and plants
It was like there was no hope left.
The world was doom, the gods were angry at us and wanted to punish the inhabitant.
But one day all of it just stop. Why
Could it mean that the gods have given us a second chance.
Did the gods forgave us and want us to continue living.
Are this is just the gateway to a brand-new world.
Those days of destruction. The time when the world itself nearly come to an end
It took a lot, but it also gives birth to a new future.
fisherman 1
Alright everyone.... Pull
* he shouted with the rest *
About 10 to 15 men standing on the shores of the island all working together to pull in a net from the ocean water.
With it came along hundreds of fishes caught from the seas.
fisherman 2
Woah, look how many we have caught
fisherman 2
If we keep it up we won't have to worry about winter.
fisherman 1
It has been 10 years sInce the great disaster, i am just glad that fishman island is managing to pull through after everything that happen.
fisherman 2
I wonder how the rest of the world is doing after all this time have pass.
local woman 1
Well if a small island like us is managing to get back on their feet, I am pretty sure the mainlands are doing better.
local woman 2
I have a friend who is a knight in the capital, he said that in the next two years the shipping port with will be up and running again.
local woman 2
So we can expect a lot of tourists and traders who want to stop by once we open up back the fishman island market
fisherman 2
Can't wait to get back into many so extra money.
* looking excited *
The others fishermen are joyful as well about the future of her home and families
fisherman 1
Well it is still too early to be celebrating. For now let just focus on us for now.
fisherman 2
Yes boss.
* he yelled alongside the others *
Before the men could get back to work their heard a strange sound coming from nearby.
fisherman 2
Everyone quiet
fisherman 2
Did you all hear that
fisherman 1
Yep I heard it too.
They all wonder what is that noise.
Listening a lot closer, it sounds like a baby crying.
But where is it coming from
There is no one standing on the shore with one, it sounds like it is coming from the net.
Did a baby wash up on their shores.
fisherman 1
Quickly help me
* yelling at the others *
Dragging the net to the shores, the men search aimlessly to find the source of the crying.
fisherman 1
It is under here, the four of you. Help me lift this mackerel off.
Once they did the man spot the baby but quickly runs off in terror after seeing it
local woman 1
What is that
local woman 2
What is that
fisherman 2
Boss what do we do
fisherman 1
The chief, go and get the chief.
Someone from the crowd quickly ran to the find the chief of the island.
In the backyard of a house on top of a hill that overlook the entire north coast of the island.
A woman kneel down in front of a gravestone.
The husband of the woman stands behind her looking at her with pity
Hart ( fishman island chief )
* looking with pity *
Monica
* Placing down some flowers while clapping her hands together. *
Monica
* she sobs slowly while looking at the grave writing.*
Hart ( fishman island chief )
* Walking up to place his hand on her shoulder *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Monica you could get inside, you have been out her since the sun is out. It is already noon.
Monica
Just a little longer please
Hart ( fishman island chief )
The sun is reaching its peak soon, if you don't get inside you will get heat strokes.
Monica
* gives no response to her husband concerns *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
* Hearing a faint noise coming from behind, he turned around to see a young woman standing by *
Nova
* waving at hart from the distance *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
* he went over to the woman *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
what are you doing here
Nova
What do you mean, I came here just to see you
Nova
* wrapping her arms around the man neck, giving him a seducing stares *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
I told you not to be like this when Monica is nearby
Nova
Does it matter at this point, it has been a year since you start seeing me.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Shhh.
* quickly covering the woman mouth *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Keep it down before Monica hears you
Nova
* looking over to see Monica *
Nova
Is that idiot of a older sister of mine is still at it. For real, it has been 10 years since she lost her baby during the great disaster. She should just get over it already
Hart ( fishman island chief )
You are right, but it is not that easy to get over with. A mother losing her child is a heavy pain on their heart.
Nova
Well speaking for child. Guess what
* taking that man hand and putting it on her stomach *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Nova don't tell me that
Hart ( fishman island chief )
* looking shock *
Nova
Yes I am pregnant, wIth our child.
* whisper to his face *
Monica
Is that truth
* she appears behind the two, both didn't notice her since they were busy talking *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Monica why let me explain
* feeling worry *
Nova
That is right sister, i am carrying your husband child. We have been seeing each other for a whole year now.
Nova
He was getting tired of taking care of you and your depression over the lost of you daughter.
Nova
It has been 10 years now Monica, it's time for you to grow up and move on.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
I am sorry Monica, but she is right
random fisherman
Chief
* he yelled *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
What is it
random fisherman
There is something that you need to see.
* panting hard from all the running *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Alright
Hart and the others ran off to see what is wrong down on the shores. Leaving monica to stand by herself.
Monica
I see, so you have gone and left me too... My dear husband. what is the point of living now.
* whispering to herself *
The others make their way down at the shore.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
What seem to be the problem
fisherman 1
Chief, come and take a look for yourself.
Nova
Aww, what is that, is look so gross
* hiding behind hart *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
is that a beast man
Nova
you mean does half human half animal running around on the mainland
fisherman 1
It doesnt look like any beast man i have seen before
fisherman 2
Even so, this thing is clearly not human but it does have human like feature which or not like ordinary beast man.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Its skin is full blue, octopus like tentacle hair, fish like gills on both side of it neck.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
It must be a danger beast
local woman 2
You mean those monstrous beast that attack and kill anyone it comes across with.
local woman 1
The ones that attack and destroy villages and small town you mean those hateful things.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
This must be it baby, meaning that the mother could be nearby.
fisherman 2
Chief what do we do
fisherman 1
We are not equip to fight a danger beast
local woman 2
Can't we send a request to a guild on the mainland
fisherman 1
they wont make it in time
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Since this danger beast is of the sea, I don't think it mother will be able to come on land
Hart ( fishman island chief )
The best we can do is to leave it be and let the mother pick it up without worries.
fisherman 1
Everyone back away from the water
Everyone start heading away from the sandy shores except for one.
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Monica what are you doing
Monica
* making her way to the water where the baby is at *
Monica
* she looks at the baby and every second of its cries trigger a memory of the time she held her baby in her hand before the great disaster look it away *
Hart ( fishman island chief )
monica
* he shouted her name *
Nova
What is that idiot doing
Monica kneeling down in front of the baby creature reaches out her man.
Once her finger got closes enough to the baby one of it thin octopus hair grab and wrap around monica fingers.
The baby start to show signs of calming down.
Monica picks up the child and hold him gently in her motherly arms.
The baby opening his ocean blue eyes for the first time looking at monica. He started to giggle like any other normal baby.
Monica
Well you are a joyful one arent you
* a faint smile pops on her face *
Monica turns around to carry the baby back to the shores.
But we was encounter by the residents.
fisherman 1
What do you intent to do with that thing.
Monica
I dont think it is dangerous as it look, it is just a child.
fisherman 2
It is a danger beast, they are all dangerous, adult, child or new born
Monica
I am sorry but I cant just leave it like that.
Nova
Wait, you are not planning on rising it like a human aren't you
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Monica no matter what, that thing cannot replace your dead daughter
Monica
your child, when was the last time you call her our child
* giving his a distain glare.*
Monica then walks off with the baby
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Listen monica either you put back that thing we you got it or leave the town with it
Hearing her husband words, monica choose to walk out of town with it
Nova
That idiot, to think that I am related to a woman like her.
fisherman 1
Chief what do we do
Hart ( fishman island chief )
Just leave her be, she maybe making a mistake right now but her judgement is always on point
Monica walking with the baby check and see that it is actually a boy.
Monica
You know, i'd once had a daughter i name nera. But since you are a boy, how about i call you nero.
Monica
How does that sound
The baby started to laugh
Monica
You liked that name don't you
Monica
Very well from this moment on, your name will be Nero
Monica
I promise to give you all the love in the world and protect you no matter what
The both mother and child smiling at each other the two make their way into the forest of the south coast of the island.
