Chapter 22 - Chapter 19 : The Sea Underwater 2

-The Darkmire Deeps city

'Pretas are believed to have been false, corrupted, compulsive, deceitful, jealous or greedy people in a previous life. As a result of their karma, they are afflicted with an insatiable hunger for a particular substance or object. Traditionally, this is something repugnant or humiliating, such as cadavers or feces, though in more recent stories, it can be anything, however bizarre. In addition to having insatiable hunger for an aversive item, pretas are said to have disturbing visions. Pretas and human beings occupy the same physical space and while humans looking at a river would see clear water, pretas see the same river flowing with an aversive substance, common examples of such visions include pus and filth'

đŸ’¢

Rumors say that Pretas see all the worst in any human being, transforming it into dangerous and sickening images in the brain of their prey, bringing them up to their worst nightmares, causing on many to loose their mind, some life altering damage to their normal life, irreversible damages psychologically.

Notorious for overcoming weak thinkers and overreacting characters, they feed from feelings and thoughts of easy prey.

These entities come out at dawn, from the Dead Sea, when they can't be spotted, blending with the before darkness dimmed lights shyly lighting up the atmosphere.

Very few have seen this entities and have survived to tell their incredible resistance to their enchanting ways. Only being determined and resilient on their thoughts; the only way to fight their thoughts, these men have succumbed to this sickening ways. The latest man found out to be alive; was diagnosed with schizophrenia and died after commuting suicide.

Too much to handle on their minds.

Too much their eyes witnessed.

They could've easily predict the end of the world, but refused to do it.

The ones that tried, died in the process.

They decided to keep that as a secret.

There was an urban legend claiming that these creatures emerged from the Red Sea looking fir easy prey, feeding from the most inner desires and jealousy for other living creatures and their frustration for not aching as much as others species.

Reports of missing people were increasing, as well as finding more people to convince to move over to the Enchanted Shore are live a new life, have family and prosper. If this rejection and denial to come and help to the development of The Enchanted Shore, was not as appealing as before, necessary extra precautions were needed, and immediately.

Ada's was already commissioned to another investigation. As usual, to join Cree later, to finalize the last details to be presented to the high authorities of Heathergate.

Preta Sanskrit and Gaki Sanskrit; sister and brother had a rough upbringing. From very young age, learned to survive by themselves.  Survivors of the invasion of the previous attack from Pretas; they both witnessed how the older habitants, died fighting against the Preta's last couple of years invasions; led by tTe Ink Territories people; saw their own people go missing every time they went out to sea fishing. The last survivor, already disturbed by seeing how his entire family disappeared in front of his eyes, and reluctant to help, lived a miserable life, not being able to forget that horrible day, incapable to help and prevent so many deaths by drowning.

All he remembers was the big tsunami, flattening everything down to nothing, leaving destruction on its way inland. Many lives, houses, plantations and farms got destroyed by the force of the tsunami. Complete families still gone missing. 

His sister Preta, got momentary separated from Gaki when the raging waters from the tsunami pulled Preta down the river by the raging waters. She was found two days later on top of a tree by the Clift on the side of the little hill. Unable to climb down, stayed for someone to come by and rescue her. After a week, she was found by a rescuer that spotted her from far on the other hill across. Thirsty and cold, and alive, she was brought back from the hospital unhurt and scared.

The damages from the tsunami needed to be assessed by an authority snd immediate assistance needed to be provided to the ones affected. Cree's secretly assisted the affected ones by the tsunami via his anonymous group of partners, assessed by Ada's input on the things needed to be provided to the affected paisans of the territory.

It was found out that the epicentre of the tsunami was deep down the sea, out of reach from the sun rays. Total darkness and silence reigned down under, on a separate and different world. 'Darkmire Deeps' known for its deep city settled down life. Many of these creatures to be transparent due to the lack of light. Their inhabitants, pale skinned, with great susceptibility to light, never dared to come out to the surface of the sea. Still remains a mystery how these people have survived.

When appointed to come up to the surface, they had to wear a special type of glasses, otherwise their retina would get damaged by the bright sun rays piercing through the ocean waters yo the deep sea. Fortunately these people learned to survive away from the damaging sun rays.

Will they come out to recruit new bodies?

Perhaps a new place where all missing people are kept captive?

Many people have mysteriously disappeared, with no real clue nor explanation to prove.

From kids to elders, regardless of their culture and traditions, inexplicable evidence have been resolved with sustainable evidence.

Rumors have increased so fast , no one has been able to come alive to confirm the actual rumors about these disappearing.

Exhausted all possible explanations, a special group of investigators were required to study an solve these mysterious disappearances.

Ada and Cree's team was needed to study and respond to these mysterious series of events leading to many disappearing of inhabitants with no trace .

And worst, with no reason nor trace.

If they dead in reality, their bodies would've been found.

But as this story was written, no new improvements about these missing cases where to be found.
