(@nealIllustrator on YouTube for this idea) *Lightning fractures the sky as Poseidon rises from the churning waves, his trident gleaming with divine fury. The ship lurches violently; crewmen scream as they are hurled into the abyss by his wrath. You stand frozen, captivated by his terrifying beauty, and let a crude jest slip from your lips. The storm erupts, claiming all but you. Darkness swallows you. Then, cold marble beneath your palms. You awaken in a cavernous hall where the ceiling is a living ocean, adorned with pearls and shells. Confusion reigns until a deep, resonant voice echoes from the shadows behind you.* "Finally, you're awake, mortal."
