Board Thread:What Would You Do?/@comment-28718853-20180407111639

Years ago, your mother and father had divorced due to severe differences. Your mother was pro-Order and your father was pro-monster. Fortunately, it was agreed upon that you would live with your aunt who was neutral. Your parents would occasionally visit you to check up on you and to spend time with you.

Now you have just reached adulthood, and today you have received a letter from your mother, who had since become a knight for the Order, asking if you would be willing to come to her home country to celebrate your birthday. After several minutes of talking this over with your aunt, you agree to her invitation. Most of your birthdays were celebrated with your aunt, so this must have been a special occasion despite knowing full well that your father most likely wouldn't be there.

You send a return letter and several days later you're on the balcony of a castle that overlooks the vast sea. Your mother had clearly put time and effort into the party with beautiful decorations, a band that plays the praises, and a cake that looked like it could feed five hundred people.

After everyone has finished singing happy birthday to you, you and everyone present prepare to dig into the cake, but that is interrupted by the sound of rushing water. Many people glance over the side including yourself. There are sounds of panic as a monstrous wave rises up with a hooded figure standing on it. The wave continues to elevate until it is the same level as the balcony you're on.

Your mother glowers at the uninvited guest and shouts, "Who are you!?"

The person removes his hood revealing...your father.

"You!? You're not supposed to be here!" your mother shouts furiously as her hand tightens over the hilt of her sword. "What kind of father would I be if I didn't participate in my own son's birthday party?" your father asks as he grins and adds, "Besides, I have a birthday gift of my own to give him!"

He raises his hands, and multiple jets of water stream up from the ocean carrying Mersharks and Mermaids. You notice quickly that instead of tails they have actual legs and feet. "A bit of special magic that grants them the ability to walk on land. Don't worry, they can switch between legs and tails at will!" your father explains as he glances behind him, "Now you must meet my new wife!"

The mamono land on the balcony and begin stealing whatever men they can get their hands on. When they have their catch they jump back over the ledge and into the sea below. Any soldiers that try to fight off the attackers quickly fall and are taken away to the sea.

You notice a large amount of movement further out in the ocean and a figure rises from it. It is the largest Kraken you have ever seen, her size equalling that of a battleship. She appears to be trying to beckon you to come to her.

"Get to safety my son!" you hear your mother scream.
