  1. [Unknown Date]
  2. [Roth-Ma Island, off the coast of the Japanese origin island]
  3.  
  4. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  5.  
  6. The shallows of the little island bubble and boil as a large craft surfaces that bears a faint resemblance to submersibles of modern day, only of a more ornate and techno-organic style. Three men dressed in strange attire equally as distinct as their craft emerge from an opening at the top of the vessel and climb down to the beach of the island.
  7.  
  8. Natives begin to curiously, but cautiously, step out from their shelters, walking up to the strange visitors.
  9.  
  10.  
  11. (Atlantean Officer): Greetings, natives. We have heard many tales of the magnificent sights you have in this region.
  12.  
  13.  
  14. The chieftain of the small tribe, dressed equally as ornate as the travelers in various animal hides and beads, steps up to the men.
  15.  
  16.  
  17. (Chieftain): And you are not from here, but I know of your kind
  18.  
  19. (Atlantean Officer): Ah, it is good to see another whom speaks the Earth tongue.
  20.  
  21. (Chieftain): I know enough to speak for my people. What exactly brings you to the island of birth?
  22.  
  23. (Atlantean Officer): We are representatives of the scientific community for the great Atlantean Empire. We have about the wondrous lifeforms that inhabit this region. We are here to observe and study these animal--
  24.  
  25. (Chieftain): They are NOT mere animals! They are our gods!
  26.  
  27. (Atlantean Officer): I am dreadfully sorry for my poor phrasing. We would like to study your.... 'gods'. If that is alright with you, of course.
  28.  
  29. (Chieftain): We do not decide this question of yours. Only she does.
  30.  
  31. (Atlantean Officer): She?
  32.  
  33.  
  34. A faint growl is heard in the distance, one that is imposing but not threatening, and is accompanied by an enormous shape that blocks out the sunlight. The entity flies across the jungle, over the heads of the visitors and the natives and around in the distance. All are in awe at the majesty and beauty of this being; one of the travelers prepares a device that he points at the graceful god, following it as it flies.
  35.  
  36. It soon circles back around, over all the people below; a glowing dust-like substance comes off of its wings and gently falls to the Earth below. The natives, in this shower of gold, celebrate and act merry, and the visitors quickly aim their device upon them as well.
  37.

  41.  
  42. [Unknown Date]
  43. [Jiran Island, off the coast of the Japanese origin continent]
  44. [Deep sea cavern]
  45.  
  46. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  47.  
  48. An Atlantean craft moves in closer to an undersea cavern, shining lights to illuminate the area and scatter small seafloor creatures. Near the entrance, a peculiar object lies on the ocean bottom: an extremely large head and neck, covered in scales of a faded colour and with the appearance of a fearsome dragon.
  49.  
  50.  
  51. (Atlantean Captain): Could it be? A remnant of the legendary battle between these natives' 'sea god' and 'sky demon'?
  52.  
  53. (Atlantean Researcher): I believe so, sir. It will prove invaluable in the project.
  54.  
  55. (Atlantean Captain): Prepare it for collection. Everything will be under control.
  56.  
  57. (Atlantean Researcher): Indeed. Under control.
  58.  
  59.  
  60. A hatch opens on the underside of the vessel, and a beam of light shines onto the decaying head, drawing it into the craft. Upon retrieval, the hatch closes, and the Atlantean submersible moves further into the cavern, shining its lights around as it moves. One of the lights shines on a scaly tail, and the beams move upwards and to the left until all of them shine on the singular object before them.
  61.  
  62. The great sea god, whom would be known as the Alpha in modern day, slumbers in the cavern; his body's movements are slow, showing signs of recently healed injuries.
  63.  
  64.  
  65. (Atlantean Researcher): Sir.... is that.....
  66.  
  67. (Atlantean Captain): Yes. It is. Men, we must obtain samples. CAREFULLY. We must not wake the beast.
  68.  
  69.  
  70. The underside hatch opens up once more; the beam of light moves around until it happens upon a small rocky plate on the ground a short distance from the sleeping sea god, resembling those that line the back and tail of the creature.
  71.  
  72.  
  73. (Atlantean Captain): This one will do. Prepare collection.
  74.  
  75. (Atlantean Researcher): Yes sir.
  76.  
  77.  
  78. The plate is drawn into the vessel in the same manner as the severed head from outside the cavern. After collection, the Atlantean craft slowly moves back out of the cave, away from the island cluster and towards the west.
  79.  
  80.  
  81. (Atlantean Captain): Finally...... everything is under control.
  82.  
  83. (Atlantean Researcher): Indeed. Under control.
