The First Odyssey/Latum Atunum

The next day, they both get woken up when water starts flooding the lower quarters; Chanket kicks the door down, waking them up by throwing a bucket of water on them, to which they react annoyingly, before taking them below his arms and onto the ship cover. He reveals that apparently an old wound in the bottom of the ship has been hit, but that good news, the mainland is nearby and that the Otter Cross has been crossed, pulling up into a village called Latum Atunum. When they disembark, they discover that the Otters there live in extremely poor circumstances, and is mostly comprised on peasants and the armored Feudal Lords. When the knights try to arrest Chanket for having been a known pirate, Shi goes forwards and explains that they're on a mission to recover the Eye from the pirate Ferlan Sin Fins, the knight slaps her, telling her to shut up woman, before his assistant tells him that she's the princess, he slaps her again, saying sorry. An enraged Shi pulls out her weapon, but Ulysses tones down the situation quickly, he notices that the village people are incredibly conservative and supersticious, and explains that the Eye will kill them all if they don't help. They get pulled into the Town Hall, where the Mayor, a Fishead called **Sir Finneas**, still not very trusting of them, proposes a cavalry duel in exchange for the information of Ferlan. The Otter Priest barges into Sir Finneas' receiving room, telling him that the boy is not from that world, the guards quickly apprehend Ulysses, taking him to jail, also apprehending the Otter Priest for barging in like that. Shi and Chanket facepalm.

Ulysses, in jail, asks if the situation could get any worse; but realizes that next to him is Ferlan and the Goonpies, Ulysses realizes that he's finally been captured, but Ferlan says that he shouldn't cheer so soon since one of his Goonpies has swallowed the Eye, when he opens his mouth, a bright red light shines across the room. Ulysses asks what happens, and Ferlan says that the ship crashed and that they tried to ask for help but got imprisioned after one of the Goonpies looked at the Feudal Lords funny, saying that they'll be executed by dawn. Ulysses, terrified, asks how he's gonna get out of her, to which Ferlan asks if it's his first time, Ulysses obviously says yes. Ferlan starts making fun of Ulysses, but a guard quiets them both down. He then decides to start formulating an escape plan, saying it might be similar to the Escape Rooms from his world, and that he's bringing the Fat Goonpie along, who cheers, but is quickly shut down by Ferlan, who ties him to the prison bench.

Shi and Chanket are taken as high-fidelity guests for being part of the Royal Family, and are taking to a ball in the Town Hall, where it's nothing but peasants dancing, one of the peasants, covered in flies and malnourished, collapses to the floor; Shi quickly takes this as an opportunity to talk to Sir Fineas again, explaining that the boy was sent from them by Poseidon to help them in their mission, for mentioning the word of the Lord in vain. The ball suddenly stops, and they all look at Shi, who groans. All the knights apprehend her, throwing her and Chanket in a jailcell nex to Ulysses and Ferlan. Both pairs start arguing, with Chanket trying to strangle Ferlan from behind the bars, which he starts doing, Ulysses stops him, saying that he doesn't have the eye, but a fat Goonpie instead. A little altar Otter boy waddles over from the exterior of the jailcells, explaining to them that the Eye is an artefact of the darkest, purest form of evil in all of Waterworld; and that its evil gets more compressed and powerful the longer it's not manipulating someone, Ferlan orders the fat Goonpie then to manifest the eye's powers so he can escape. In response to this, all the guards are called up to their location. They prepare themselves for combat, as Ferlan cheers on the Fat Goonpie, who in the end, is almost entirely engulfed by red light, and just *farts*, dealing a massive explosion that completely evaporates the wall behind them, shitting out the eye, which rolls up to Ferlan, who catches it and stores it back in his chest, quickly running out alongside the rest of the Goonpies. The gang starts banging on the jailcells, with Chanket even almost ripping the jaircells off. Just for this, the authorities say that their punishment will be the worst yet.

Ferlan and the Goonpies run away, but realize that their ship is absolutely wrecked, they decide to steal the Gifted Lass, but find that an actual mass is taking place inside; Ferlan gulps, and him, alongside the Goonpies, start acting as the priest, after the priest is tied up and thrown to the sea. Ferlan gets really into character, narrating about the creation of the Waterworld and how Poseidon willed it into existence after he was unsatisfied with his fair share, he starts saying "Because THAT's what fairness is isn't it? Everyone needs a piece of the pie, even if they have to make it, even if it's ugly... and MISERABLE! And some pieces will look brighter than others, and better, but is that fair? Yes! Because they all come from the same piece, which is equal. But the truth is, some PIECES are FAIRER than OTHERS, and they DESERVE more! EVERYTHING in the world!" He passionately says, to the point where when he's finished, the crowd is just looking at them, baffled, and clap him, proclaiming him a spiritual leader, Ferlan laughs in delight, looking down at the eye and caressing it evily. He proclaims himself the new Mayor of Latum Atunum, and commands his forces to overtake Sir Finneas and take the town hall.

Meanwhile, it's execution time. Ulysses, Shi and Chanket are brought to the gallows as a desperate, bloodthirsty crowd cheers on, throwing tomatos at them. Sif asks if this is a familiar sight, to which Chanket nods, while Ulysses is absolutely terrified. The executioner waddles ontop of the gallows, but falls off as he can't see anything because he's wearing the hood, everyone stands awkwardly just looking at him, before he pulls himself together and goes up the gallows again, using a little set of wooden stairs to put the noose on Chanket's head, who looks up. He tells the audience to prepare for the sinners to be ejected back to the world where they belong, and pulls the level, Chanket falls, breaking the gallows and falling to the floor, he frees himself with his raw strength, smashing several of the Guards together with eachother and beating the shit out of the crowd; Shi frees herself, revealing she had the hilt of her Watersword on her the entire time, freeing herself and also Ulysses, who takes out his staff and starts making his way out. They fight their way through the Town Plaza, even fighting an incredibly fat Fishead who was the personal bodyguard of Sir Finneas, who ends up being stabbed in the back by Ulysses, saving both Shia and Chanket, who were being smashed together by Fishead, they help eachother up, and ask where Ferlan is. Suddenly, behind them, an even bigger crowd of Otter and Fishead churchgoers prepare their torches and pitchforks and charge against them, and in the top, it's revealed Ferlan is the head of the mob, proclaiming himself the new mayor of Latum Atunum, he ordes the crowd to charge against them. Ulysses then interrupts him, revealing to the Crowd that he's being powered by an inherently demonic source, and that he's the antichrist. An angered Ferlan charges towards Ulysses, but trips, and the Eye rolls out of his bag, looking at the Crowd, before rolling back in. A scared Ferlan tells the Goonpies to scram, but the mob just decides to kill them all. When they have them cornered and against the wall, Shi attacks the crowd, leaving Ferlan and the Goonpies an opportunity to escape to the Pale Devourer. It looks like it's the end for the gang, as they tired themselves out fighting. However, the fighting is stopped at the arrival of a ship: the Biggest Navy Ship. An Otter Kingdom Ship.

An Otter announcer goes to the front of the ship, telling all the Otters to finish their crusade against evil, for the Monarch's Merman has arrived. They tell the gang to get on the Gifted Lass, as the ship is anchored to the Merman, for the **Otter King** wants an audience with them.

That night, Ulysses has a nightmare where he's drowning in the well from the Sacred Fortress, he hears someone screaming his name, as he watches the water slowly consume it. He wakes up in the ship quarters, drenched in sweat, having been woken up by Shilla. She asks him if he's alright, Ulysses sighs, covering his face with his pillow, having hoped that this was all a nightmare. Shilla comforts him, and asks him to take a walk with her. They go out to the ship cover, and Ulysses vents that he's tired of Waterworld and just wants to go home, they explore the surface of the new, much larger, but also much older and clearly more demacrated ship: **The Gifted Lass**. Ulysses explains that when he used to have nightmares, his mother would always tell him to just look through his window at the Moon and imagine that it was the sun, and explains that there's not even a moon to look at anymore, nor a sun, that he's seasick and just wants it all to be over. Shilla finds nothing to say, and just says to look at their reflections in the dark of the water, that this always used to calm her, Ulysses looks, looking at the ocean for a while, which is incredibly calm and still; eventually, Shilla says that she's going to go back to sleep, as she turns and leaves, Ulysses realizes her circular head kind of resembled a moon, he looks back behind him, and sees Shilla is gone; he decides to go back to sleep as well.
