Speaker 2: Welcome Back to Dark Hours Uncovered, Season six. The sea
has no mercy left to give. The storm has broken,
but piece is an illusion, a calm before a final reckoning.
The drown God's rise and fall fury. Their whispers now screens,
demanding the blood, the souls, and the truth that was
stolen from them. The women have fought the curse, the monsters,
and the sea itself, but some debts can only be
paid in blood. As the ship is dragged into the
abyss and the last light fades beneath the waves, one
question remains. Who will rise and who will be cleaned
by the deep. This is chapter ten, The Drowned God's Reckoning.
The sea was eerily steel, its surface like glass beneath
it guy heavy with dark clouds. The ship creaked as
it cut along through the water, heading straight into the
heart of the unknown. Ruby stood at the bow, her
sword air aside, her gaze locked on the horizon behind her.
The rest of the crew prepared for what they knew
would be their last stand. We're really going to do this,
aren't we, Cassie d muttered, sharpening her knives. We don't
have a choice, Ruby replied, without turning. They won't stop
until they drag us under. May have sat on a barrel,
pale but steady, her hands resting on her knees. Though
the locket was gone, she could still feel the faint
paw of the drowned gods, an unrelenting pressure on the
back of her mind. They're waiting for us, she said, softly.
They know we're coming. Lila climbed down from the rigging,
her pistols strapped to her hips. Good let them wait.
I've got plenty of bullets for them. Ruby turned to
face her crew. Listen up. We've been running from this
curse from them for long enough. Today we end it together.
The crew nodded, their fear replaced with determination as they
sailed deeper into the open water the dark the sky
darkened fervor, and the air grew thick and oppressive. The
sea began to churn, and a low hum, haunting, a low,
haunting hum, rose from the depths, vibrating through the hole
the here made, whispered, her voice, trembling the water. Their
heads split open, a massive whirlpool forming in the center
of the sea. From the swirling depths the ground, the
drowned gods emerged. Their forms were larger than before, towering
over the ship, their glowing eyes filled with malice. The
largest of them, the barnacle encrusted Titans, stepped forward. Its
voice boomed, shaking the very air. You dare to return
to our domain? Ruby stepped to the edge of her deck,
her sword gleaming in the dim light. We're not afraid
of you, she shouted. You've tormented us long enough. This
ends now. The titan let out a guttural laugh. You
are nothing but mortals, fragile and fleeting. What do you
hope What do you hope to have against us? May
have stood beside Ruby, her voice steady despite the fear
in her heart. We're not just mortals. We're survivors, and
we're faced worse than you. The god's roared. Their combined
voices are deafening cacophony. The whirlpool grew larger, pulling the
ship towards its enter hold on. Ruby shouted, grabbing the
wheel and steering hard against the current. Cassidy and Iilah
tied down the sails. Their movements, quick and efficient, may
have gripped the mast. Her eyes fixed on the gods.
They tried to drag us under. Lilah shouted, not if
we take them down first, Ruby growled. The first of
the gods struck, its massive tentacles crashing onto the deck.
Ruby and Cassidy leaped into action, their blades slicing through
the river and the ribbing the writhing limbs. Lilah fired
her pistols, the bullets finding their marks, but the creature
seemed unfazed. We've may have closed her eyes, the pull
of the gods glowing stronger. She could hear their voices,
feel their rage, and then deep within her she felt
something else, a spark of the Locket's lingering power. I
can stop them, she said suddenly, her voice cutting through
the chaos. Ruby turned to her, her eyes narrowing. How
Mave's hands began to grow faintly, but the scale was
on her arms, returning. The curs wasn't meant to just
destroy us. It's part of them. If I can give
it to myself, I can use it against them. No,
Ruby said firmly. We're not losing you mayve you won't.
Mave said, her voice calm, but this is the only way.
Trust me. Ruby hesitated, her grip tightening on her sword. Finally,
she nodded, we trust you. May have stepped to the
edge of the deck, glowing around her, intensifying, the god's roared.
The tentacle was reaching for her, but she stood aground.
I'm not afraid of you, she said, her voice steady.
You think you own me, but you don't. I choose
my fate. With a final burst of energy, may have
leapt into the air, the glow around her erupting into
a blinding light. The gods screamed, their forms contorting as
the light engulfed them. The whirlpool began to collapse, the
sea calming as the gods dissolved into nothingness. The ship
rocked violently, but Ruby held the will steady, steering them
out of the chaos. When the light faded, the sea
was calm once more. May have lay on the deck,
unconscious but alive. Her scale was gone. Ruby knelt beside her,
her hand on Made's shoulder. She did it, she said softly.
Cassidy and Elda joined them, their faces filled with relief.
She's breathing, Kessy said, her voice shaking. She's okay. The
crew sat in silence, the weight of the ordeal, of
their ordeal finally lifting. As the sun broke through the clouds,
Ruby looked out onto the horizon. It's over, she said,
her voice filled with quiet determination. We're free. But deep
in the depths where the light of the sun could
never reach, something stirred for the For a while the
gods had been defeated, the sea never truly forgets.
