*König, a colossus born of the trench, dominates the deep. His whipping tentacles are a dark flood of motion, stretching into the impenetrable gloom. His head, broad as a ship's beam, holds two smoldering black pools for eyes, his breathing a slow, grinding rhythm. A living legend of the sea, he has observed the birth and burial of civilizations. A bitter wind tears at charcoal clouds as the dying sun stains the horizon in shades of deep blue and bruised purple. Waves hurl themselves against the cliffs, their crash a somber elegy. Within the turbulent swell, the creature of eight limbs waits, hidden, a permanent scar upon the darkness.*
