Speaker 2: Welcome Back to Dark Tails Uncovered, Season six. Silence can
be more dangerous than the storm. The ship drifts through waters,
back as ink, and beneath that stillness lies something ancient waiting.
The drowned gods do not shout. They whisper. Their voices
crawl into the mind, tempting, promising, and demanding. One by one,
the women feel their result fracture as visions rise from
the depths, and the truth of the curse reveals itself.
What began with greed is no longer about gold, but
survival of the soul. For in the depths, it's not
only monsters that whisper back. This is chapter seven, the
Whispering Depths. The storm howled like a living thing, the
winds tearing at the sail sails as the ship lurched
from side to side. The beast had retreated into the fog,
but its presence lingered, an oppressive weight that bore down
on the crew. Ruby gritted her teeth, her hands locked
on the wheel. Every muscle and her body ached from
the struggle, but she refused to stop. Lilah, get those
sails under control. I'm trying Lilah sat shouted, clinging to
the rigging as the wind threatened to rip her free.
Cassie stood at the prow, the harpoon gun in her hands.
Her eyes scanned the fog, searching for any sign of creature.
Of the creature, she felt its gaze heavy and unrelenting,
but refused to show itself. May have sat huddled against
the mast, the locket clutched to her chest. The dark
runs pulsed as the other worldly glow the river, matching
her racing heartbeat. She could hear whisper is now faint
but insistent, their words twisting in her mind. The sea
is ours. Give in, become one with us. No, she whispered,
shaking her head. I won't. Ruby glanced at her, her
voice cutting through the chaos. May, what's happening to you?
Fight it? Whatever's happening to you, fight it. We're not
losing anyone else, may have looked up, tears streaming down
her face. You don't understand. It's not just a curse.
It's alive. It's calling to me. Then ignore it, Ruby snapped,
We've got bigger problems right now. As if on cue,
the ship shuddered violently. A deep groan reverberating through the hole.
The folk thickened, swallowing the deck in the ghostly gray haze.
Cassidy Ruby called, what's happening? Cassidy didn't answer. She stood
frozen at the prow. Wide with horror. Cassidy Ruby shouted again,
leaving the wheel to run toward her. She grabbed Cassidy's shoulder,
shaking her What is it? What do you see? Cassie
raised a trembling hand, pointing into the fog. There, she whispered.
Ruby turned, her breath, catching in her throat. The water
around the ship was no longer churning waves, but a
glassy black void. Shapes moved beneath the surface, massive and
other worldly, their glowing eyes staring up at them. They're everywhere,
Cassidy said, her voice barely audible. Ruby's jaw tightened. They
will fight them all if we have to, no, Mave said, suddenly,
standing on unsteady legs. Her voice was calm but distant,
as though she was speaking from somewhere far away. You
can't fight them. They're not creatures, they're God's. Ruby turned
her expression hard, Gods or not, I'm not letting them
take us. Maybe shook her head. You don't understand. They're
not here to take us, They're here to make us
one of them. The fog seemed to close in tighter,
and the whispers grew louder, filling the air with an
eerie hummer. The shapes beneath the water began to rise,
their massive forms breaking the surface. The first was a
creature of tangled seaweed and bone, whose hollow eyes glowing
with pale light. Another followed, its body covered in glistening
scales that shimmered with an unnatural irresescence. More emerged, each
one more grotesque and montrous than the last, their twisted
forms defying logic and reason. Ruby raised her blade, her
heart pounding, Cassidy, Lila, get ready, We're not going down
without a fight. Made step forward, forward, the locket glowing
brighter over every step. Wait, she said, her voice firm.
Don't attack them, not yet. What are you doing, Lias
shouted from the rigging Mave. Didn't answer. She moved to
the center of the deck, holding the locket high. The
creatures stopped, their eyes glowing fixed on her. The whispers
grew louder, the chorus of voices that seemed to come
from the depths of the sea itself. May's eyes glazed
over and her voice took an unnatural tone. Why have
you come, she demanded that it wasn't clear she was
speaking to the crew or the creatures. The largest of
the beings, a towering figure of a barnacle encrusted stone,
stepped forward. His voice rumbled like thunder, echoing through their minds.
You carry what is ours, return it, and we will
spare you the pain of transformation. May have clutched the
locket tighter. Her hands trembled. If I give this back,
where you break the curse? The creature's eye narrow narrowed.
The curse is your bond to us. It cannot be broken,
only embraced lies, Ruby shouted, stepping between May and the creatures.
This curse was forced on us. We never asked for it.
We're sure as hell don't want it. The creature tilted
its head. It's a massive form moving over the deck.
You do not understand. The locket is the key, the
ankle that binds you to the depths. Without it, you
are nothing. With it, you are eternal. Maye rip on
the locket faltered. She looked to Ruby, her eyes filled
with desperation. What do we do? Ruby's mind raced. She
knew she couldn't trust these creatures, but the locket was
clearly the source of their power and their turi termint
term blummy, and their termon torment. We don't give them
what they want, Ruby said firmly. Whatever they're planning, it
ends here. The creature let out a low growl, its
glowing eyes narrowing. Then you will join us. The sea erupted,
waves crashing over the deck As the creatures served forward.
Ruby raised a blade, ready to fight, while May've clutched
the locket, It's dark power surging through her veins. As
the battle began, one thought echoed in May's mind, louder
than the whispers of the sea. Would they ever escape
this curse? Or was their fate already sealed?
