Chapter 166: Under loft 9

Tendrils of yellow light dart across the ocean floor flowing towards the Imperial Palace. SKY Ocean Hunter is puhsed to the side by his sister. Her hand on his mouth he is already inside the hall the seashell flooring a dead giveaway. She holds him down until he stops struggling he is surrounded. On every side of him everywhere SKY Ocean Hunter can see in the small is his family, His sister is and cousin are three and with him and Solkor Sun Striker, all the crowns of Sunken Ocean are in place for the first in months. He relaxes once he guesses what is going on flashing a beige sort of inquisitive submission. 

His sister relaxes and Solkor SUN Striker signs, “Sorry she wanted to make sure you didn’t do anything rash. She is here in the hall you can’t react to her. Our plan is to show we stand with Majesty even with everything going on we should be able to buy her some time.” 

SKY Ocean Hunter punches his sister in the shoulder tumbling about in the water as they wrestle for will lead. It is always a toss between the two depending on who feels the issues are more important to them. SKY Ocean Hunter is fully invested and thus after a few playful and painful jabs and tail whips he comes out on top. SKY Ocean Huner and Solkor Sun Striker have no problem with the frail boy but it’s another story between the two NPC’s.

SKY Ocean Hunter signs, “So what is the plan? Wait who is here” They are in the under loft of the Ancestral hall. It took a second to register that Solkor SUN Striker is not talking about his sister. His sister at this moment flashes fear and vanishes before his eyes and she becomes the current. Even though she is much bigger than SKY Ocean hunter she disappears completely only some oddly moving water at random intervals gives her away. 

Solkor can only sign the first name before their cousin grabs onto SKY Ocean Hunter by the tail his sister reappearing to help. Solkor SUN Striker signs, “be calm brother this is what he wants, the first minister has been working to erode Majesty’s position. This is his ploy to get one of us to overreact and show weakness in front of the Shallow houses.” SKY Ocean Hunter thrashes madly all three members of his family are needed to restrain him. He losses let it all out flashes pure unrestrained white hate. 

His cousin finally signs, his hues like his father are low and controlled almost nonexistent, ” We can deliver this blow and move on with our business.” 

His sister signs, ” You are too much in your head, if you would stop eating your own for five minutes you would see how bad it is and try and help. Like my brothers, they are doing their best to help out.” She believes in the two like no other, her talks with Majesty explained to her why SKY Ocean Hunter had to leave for the surface and get exposed to many other things. Along with being Supreme beings, Majesty has high hopes for both of them. 

His cousin signs, “Not all of us can afford to smash our way through life we have had to make sacrifices to the house in order.” She nearly takes his head off with the tail hook blade on her tail. Both of them are at odds and bow bubbles and hiss at each other. They have been more at odds as they are now.

The entry of Majesty is noted by the sounds of deep ocean calls. The light show and sounds are in reverence to her. SKY Ocean Hunter wants to move but Solkor SUN Striker signs, “Not yet we can use our entrance to interrupt the First Minister. Cousin, you can first your are a familiar sight but taking the crown seat will really help.” His cousin nods heading out. 

His sister signs, “Why Him he is not even one of us, not a real Slith barley a Slark not even Solkor. How can you let him go first.”

Solkor SUN Striker signs, “If you tell s why you hate him we will tell you why he went first.” this peaks SKY Ocean Hunter’s eye he too would like to know why she hates him so much. 

SKY Ocean hunter signs, “I’m curious too what happened between the two of you sister?”

His sister coils in on herself like a viper ready to strike an unconscious defensive reflex to memory that flash in her mind. She signs, “I don’t know but he is not normal the magic he uses is nothing that belongs in this world. Just look at him it’s basically eating him alive.” She can’t describe what she saw him do since it looked like he was speaking but in the ocean, no one does it without using a sing and he was definitely silent even if his mouth was moving. Since then he has not looked well losing his colour as the weeks have gone by. 

Solkor SUN Striker signs, “He is the first part of our plan, he will essentially prepare the way for us. once he gives the signal then I will appear. This should unsettle those who don’t like me simply by virtue of being a Supreme being. Some of the Shallow Houses don’t my commitment, sister you will follow hidden and appear when you I signal you. SKY Ocean Hunter is last he is lynched pin of this play his presence is loved by the shallow houses they don’t know he is here and even if they found out they can’t stop him from taking his crown seat. Doing so while First Minister is trying to Slander the house will rattle him and hopefully convince some of the Shallow Houses.

His sister signs, “Why don’t we just take over the three of us could do it and institute a royal family like when there was one sea.” SKY Ocean Hunter and Solkor SUN Striker are averse to the idea of a monarch because sells they know it is a limited form of government that in the long run will lead to more problems than solutions. Neither of them thought it is particularly difficult to win a civil war in Barren Ocean the problem is administration and Time. 

Solkor SUN Striker signs, “Let’s see how this works out we may have to launch an all-out war against the First Minister if he manages to Unshelk us. Let’s go it seems the Frist Minister has already started.” 

Solkor SUN Striker and his sister make their way from the Underloft to the quorum the Representatives of the shallow houses glow different colours depending on their reaction. A strange noise like belching this is unsettling as SKY Ocean Hunter see his signal. 

SKY Ocean Hunter makes the short swim to the massive Ancestral Hall it is lined with rows of seats going down. The closer the representative is to the floor the better the standing of their house. First SKY Ocean Hunter is angry to see his cousin not sitting in one of the crown seats but sitting by the house of Isekal next to Rina Brine Sanious. That vile woman makes him flashes rude colours of pure hate and murderous intent. He doesn’t though keep it in control, the Shallow houses know of the tension between the big houses but are lacking in details. 

At least Solkor SUN Striker and his sister are in their positions, with him joining the fray that puts them equal to the number of crowns the Isekal have. All thanks to his cousins’ betrayal he has turned a show of force into content that they could lose. The vastness of the ocean means that moments like this carry a lot of weight and can sway a lot of the Shallow houses on the fence or otherwise shift things in an unpredictable manner.

The First Minister is signing, “You see how they arrive! They do not respect us! These things, these immortals taint our houses. You all have allowed yourself to be poisoned by them given them power. They are not like us! They are the evil we have guarded against. Since they arrived has the world has not moved closer to chaos. I as First Minister can no longer sit by and allow our people to lead by a senile old woman and these fake crowns to lead. I ask you to raise this Drowned Hosue and elevate them out of the Shelk and let true Naga.” 

The quorum explodes in a chaotic frenzy of colours, the shallow houses that need players cannot abandon them, those that have been displaced and side lined by the arrival of players blame them for the increase in the war with the Crustitatnion which essentially exploded into all-out war. Most of the Supreme Beings went to the front it is the place to gain experience…
