I am a 32 year old man with a VERY bad obsession with sharks. I have gone in shark cages, I've swam with sharks, I've even tried riding one before, but that last one resulted in me losing my leg. I've been taken to the hospital, however I died soon after due to blood loss. It's a bitch really but hey, I died doin what I loved.
After I closed my eyes, I saw what's known as the light at the end of the tunnel. I didn't see anyone which is a bummer, however what I actually did see afterwards was very interesting to say the least. I was in water, DEEP in water, I know because I can't see anything but I feel the pressure on and around me. It sorta feels like when you grab a bottle full of water and you try to squeeze it, there's immense pressure but the bottle doesn't give way however, I'm the bottle and the water around me are the hands.
I feel around and there's nothing around me so I'm in the middle of the ocean? One way to find out! I try to move my arms except I don't feel anything, I try to use my legs but I only feel a giant mass moving from where my legs would be when I try to move anything from down there. Or back there? I don't even know. All I know is that I'm in complete darkness and my body doesn't want to function from what I know. Wait? Are my eyes closed? Don't tell me.
I open my eye lids, but they seem to not want to budge. Excuse me! You are mine and I say when you open. I try to force them open but nothing. I keep forcing them until I feel them start to open but right after that. Pain. A lot. Of. Pain. It's excruciating as if someone threw hot water in my eyes. I throw back myself in pain and instead of a cry out of a human. I hear something kinda like a roar but very muffled, as if someone had my ears closed before the roar came so I can't identify the source or how loud it actually is.
At this point I start panicking since I can't utilize my "arms" nor my "legs". At this point I just start moving, the water moving around me as I go. It's slow at first but as I get use to my "body" I go faster and faster. Then I run into something, a noticeable BANG was heard and my nose is hurting quite a bit. I move my head around and see a light. I move around or attempt to move around it until I hit something again. Omg this is weird. I turn around, at least I think I do, but I hit something again. At this point I'm getting mad so I push forward and open my mouth to bite whatever is in front of me. I bite down and it seems as though whatever I'm biting isn't liking it as I'm dragged what I believe is up. I'm chomped deep inside of this thing and due to rage I'm not letting go, LIKE HELL IM LETTING THIS ASSWIPE LEAVE. But after a moment I realize whats happening when I see light.
After seeing this I decide to pull my teeth off of this "thing" and I go up towards the light. After a while, I start to get a bit of knowledge on where I'm at. And as I called it, I'm in the middle of the ocean. I spin around for a bit to get a read on my surroundings but I only see water as far as the eye can see. So I look back down and I'm greeted to a (very pissed off) looking animal that can only be described as otherworldly as it resembles a whale but it has arms instead of fins with a large tusk on its front.
I'm shocked to see a bipedal organism on its back. It can only be described as a fish man but I don't get much time to look at it before the whale things rushes me and attempts to grab me. When he does this I switch to "survival mode" and I bite the arm with the intention to tell it to fuck off. But this infuriated it as now it's trying to shush kabob me with its tusk. I swim around and go for the bipedal thing on its back to find that it was waiting for that and stabbed(more like poked) my nose.
After that point I was livid. MY NOSE IS TENDER YOU FUCKING SMURF FISH!!!! It saw how angry I was and called to it's whale which looked at me and got battle ready as well. I pushed forward hard and bit it on the arm with the intent to rip it off, I shook my head and ripped it to shreds. Finally, the arm came off when I bit again closer to the body.
ROOOOOOOAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!
I got knocked back, but recovered just in time to flip back and have the tusk cut a huge line onto my stomach region, at least I believe it is as it felt like where the stomach would be, I have a light roar and tried to use this opportunity to bite the bipedal thing on its back. I got close but it jumped off the back of the whale and swam off. I swam forward to go for it, however my leg(I'll call it that for now) got grabbed by the whale and it was ready to pierce me so I flung around and bit the face of the whale while it tried to pull my leg onto its tusk. I nailed at least one of its eyes and it let go of my leg to grab my face but I wouldn't give. After realizing that I actually nailed my targets head. I bit down as hard as I could, I heard cracking and I felt the entire thing shrinking in a way that one would get if they bit a hard boiled egg with the shell being underneath the white flesh and not on top.
After a moment of struggling, I kept biting as hard as I can until I met my own teeth and the whale thing stopped moving. I backed up and moved to look at it to see a huge bite where the brain would be. Then I just found out, I have a huge part of that things head in my mouth. I swallow for some reason as the stuff in my mouth seemed to flow into my throat and actually tasted good.
I turn back to look at the bipedal thing to see that it was swimming away as fast as it could. Coward....welp might as well eat the whale. I go for my kill to find that it is barely alive right now, I go up to where the bite is and see that a good chunk of the brain is still active. So I finish it off with a bite to the last remaining part of the brain.
Ding!!!
In a masculine voice that sounds like an elder
(You have killed a juvenile martigar!)
(10xp gained and information has been gained from consumption of the brain)
(Would you like to see said information?)
I am shocked at this point. What the hell is a martigar? Who is this talking to me? As if reading my mind, a screen comes up in my head as if my very soul is looking at it and not my body. I get startled again but reluctantly take a look. It shows a picture of the same whale thing that I just killed with a couple lines of information about it underneath the picture.
As I'm in my head looking at this in my head and not with my actual eyes, I fail to notice the group of martigars coming towards me with those same bipedal things riding it. I finish reading and look around to see that I'm surrounded with martigars. I am looking at all of them and see that what I killed before was indeed a juvenile as the rest of these are at least THREE TIMES MY SIZE! I'm scared out of my wits here since I have no escape route as I'm basically domed here with these things all around me.
I'm a usually calm and collected individual but when you see at least 20 whale looking things with huge tusks and even huger arms ready to beat and stab the ever living shit out of you. Yea if I was human and I had pants on, they'd be soaked and shitted in as this is something that would be traumatizing if the elder thing in my head hadn't felt my fear and was basically sizing them up for me and looking for possible escape routes.
Then randomly, I feel a connection from to my right and I look to see this massive and older looking martigar looking dead at me with no real anger but with sadness in its eyes as the bipedal thing on it looked like a ruler of sorts. All of a sudden I hear a voice in my head.
"Who are you and why have you trespassed into our territory and killed a young martigar?" The voice was deep but not the elder deep, it seems as though this was coming from the bipedal thing and not the whale. I'm lost for words but I might as well give it a shot. "My apologies, but I happened to have come to your territory after being driven out from deep below by others of my species after they have killed my family for wanting to come to shallower waters!! I have barely made it out with my own life!" The bipedal being looked at me with suspicion but it seemed content for the time being.
"So it seems you have no where to go, do you not?" It asks me calmly. I choke up at this point as I expected more hostility from the bipedal lord. "That is correct, I was wandering when I seemed to have bumped into the young martigar once and attempted to leave but bumped into it again so I have been angered and bit down on what was in front of me. The young martigar brung me up here and I let go after seeing the light coming from above, afterwards I looked back and saw the young one attempt to grab me so in instinct, I bit it's hand. I did not know if they were going to harm me or not so I was defensive until it attempted to stab me with it's tusk. So I started fighting like my life was on the line and in the end I bit down and ripped off the brain." After I said that, the bipedal lord looked shocked for a moment before asking "if the young one showed that it meant no harm, would you have attacked?" "No i would not have, since I was only acting in defense as I believed that the young one would harm me after I bit him previously"
The bipedal lord looked at me then said something to the others and they all looked at him in shock. It confused me Until he turned and asked me"would you be interested in coming with us back to our kingdom? It seems as though you won't survive long by yourself out here if a young martigar will give you trouble" at the end, the bipedal lord has an arrogant tone that implied that he knew what's best for me. That angered me very much as I've always hated those who thought they knew what's best for others without actually getting to know them.
Many would think that some unnatural force would help me from calming down, but nope. All my anger and emotions were building up inside of me. I may have looked calm, without any emotion but on the inside, a volcano was getting ready to explode. But looking at the huge beings around me, I quickly put a cork on that volcano and politely said."I thank you for your offer, however I wish to decline as I can guarantee that an incident like this won't happen again" The bipedal lord wasn't amused" It was worth an attempt, it saddens me that such potential will have to be cut off at such a young age".
As soon as he said that, my cork just blew off with all my emotions behind it and hit my "survival" switch and I absolutely burst on him in his head. The amount of profanities and words I shot into his head gave him such a headache that he grabbed his temple, pushed his head down, then cut off the connection. He was furious at this point. He gave off such a screech that i heard it in my muffled hearing. All the others looked at him, then he put his head up, looked at me and with fury on his face, called out and pointed at me. After that everything else looked at me with murderous intent. I already heard from the elder in my head earlier that there was a gap near the edge of the surface where I could leap out and over them. When I looked up, i saw the spot. At that point they all rushed me, ready to kill me and rip me to shreds.
I waited for a moment until they were right on me, then when they got close I bursted up with new found energy and rushed for the spot. The lord saw this and called for the elder martigar to intercept me, expecting me to just go through the gap. I kept going and the elder was ready to stop/skewer me but I went up again and pushed through the surface and went over him as his tusks were seen going through the surface but just under my stomach.
I fall into the water behind him and I start swimming away as fast as I could. Good thing for me is that what these big guys make up for in strength, they sorely lack in speed. Not even their smallest ones could get near my speed. With my speed, I got out of there real quick. They weren't catching me, no way. I made it far away enough to not be able to see them AT ALL.
