When the world was young and the oceans bursting with strange kinds of life, a burning rock fell out of the sky. The meteor had come from a distant star. Which star it came from does not matter, as it has long since died and all of its planets with it. Even the rock was long dead, for any life that had lived on the world from which it came could not live through the death of their world.
No, the meteor was as dead as its world. It teemed with magic and heat that would have spelled death for this world as well. The magics of the dead planet and the living world interacted explosively as the rock thrust into the ocean.
The rock’s fall caused eight great plumes of water to rise into the air. These became tentacles. Small particles of the meteor broke off. These became two glowing gold eyes and a sharp, unforgiving beak. The water’s magic twisted and formed a body to connect it all. The meteor’s magic struggled once last time, and the sea smashed it away by bringing the new creature to life.
The kraken was birthed in the roiling waves. Her tentacles flung out and grasped the meteor, and they both sank violently into the depths. As she fell, she embraced the meteor tightly until it crumbled. The shards of rock became surrounded by water and pure magic, turning into small blue eggs, inside which moved tentacles much like the giant kraken’s.
She carefully released them into the current, allowing them to float away as she continued sinking into the depths. Her children would be strong enough to survive alone. She was tired and desired to rest.
Thus the kraken race came into being, to save the world from a boiling death. The first of the krakens still sleeps fitfully among the deep ocean rifts, kept alive by the ocean’s magic. When her tentacles move, the earth shifts and giant waves crush distant shores. Some say that she will fully awaken at the end of the world, and others say that she will awaken in order to save it again.
Until then, she rests. Where sailors and leviathans refuse to travel, she can be found, alone and dreaming of the sunlit oceans far above.
