## About

At a young age, Abyss was forced to go fight with the Sharklets in order to destroy Winterspire. He was always puzzled about why he had to do that, as when they visited the district, all of the Frosticles would look joyful and happy, but when the Sharklets came, they immediately turned scared. Abyss was saddened for these lizards and wanted to do something, but alas, he was only a child.

Some days, Abyss refused to go fighting with the other Sharklets. It brought tears to his eyes to see Frosticles trying to free themselves from nets. The Frosticles didn’t have to be treated like wild animals. His mother had the same opinion as him, but his father did not. His father has no choice but to fight every day, so he urged Abyss to do the same. He would force him to get up early in the mornings and pick out the best nets and weapons to run with. His father hoped one day he would become an amazing fighter, one of the best in Neptullin, but he didn’t.

One day, when Abyss was forced to fight, he saw a couple of Frosticles hiding in a cave. They looked hungry, tired, and scared. Even though Abyss was surrounded by many other Sharklets, he dropped his guard and ran to them. The Frosticles became startled and tried to run, but Abyss offered them food and water and made them stay for a bit.

The trio of starved lizards had a pleasant talk with Abyss, even with all of the loud noises everywhere. Abyss learned that the Frosticles only wandered off because they didn’t feel close to the ocean, not because they wanted to destroy Neptullin. And that was when he knew Merlin was an evil king. He had to do something about it.

Abyss spent his childhood days training and getting better at fighting. His father was proud of him and thought that he was going to follow his dreams and become a skilled warrior, but it wasn’t for that reason.

He read ancient books that had told of a challenge. Any lizard of adult age could challenge the king to a duel, and the lizard who won would be dubbed the new king. However, the lizard who lost would be killed in shame. Abyss read more into this information and decided he would do this when he became of age. But he needed to be faster than Merlin. Stronger than Merlin. Better at Merlin than anything. So he spent countless hours at the training station, studying multiple moves and skills.

When he became of age, it was finally time for him to start the duel. Abyss swarmed to Merlin’s palace and burst open the doors, proposing a duel. And as he expected, Merlin took up the chance, being full of himself.

The two readied themselves in front of a crowd of hollering Sharklets, who were chanting Abyss’s name. He felt special and loved the attention. He knew that if he won the battle, these lizards would immediately see him as a strong king.

And so, as the duel began, Abyss began using all the skills he had learned. He confused Merlin, sending him in many different directions. He used fancy footwork to dodge the blows Merlin had struck with his sword, and grinned when Merlin became more and more frustrated. He tossed Merlin around like he was a rag doll, and eventually, he fell and forfeited. Without hesitation and mercy, Abyss killed him with one last blow.

Lizards around Abyss cheered and hollered in victory. Abyss’s father was astonished to see that he had become king and congratulated him with a huge bear hug. Many were relieved that Merlin was gone and knew that Abyss was going to bring the Sharklets good to the district. And Abyss did indeed.

Neptullin was still unfinished and looked like it was in ruins, so Abyss immediately made lizards fix it. Many shops, platforms, and structures were made and turned Neptullin into the shining beauty it is today. Abyss stopped Sharklets from battling with the Frosticles and let them explore their own interests. Many of the Sharklets found interest in tampering with trinkets, which resulted in a lot of boutiques and workshops being made. After Neptullin flourished and truly became the district it is today, Abyss sat down on his throne in triumph.

Abyss ruled for many centuries without a problem. No lizard had any issues with him and enjoyed his presence. His death was not gruesome and he eventually died of old age.

His tale still lives on, and many still tell it today.
