Speaker 1: School School, School School.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Dark Tails Uncovered, Season six. The sea
does not forgive trespass, and it does not fight fair
with their stolen ship adrift, the women set sail into
waters claimed by the drowned gods. Beneath them, shadows stir,
tentacles scrape the whole. Blowing eyes rise from the abyss,
and ancient things wait in silence. What lies below is
not mere beast, but something older, bound by salt and sacrifice.
To fall into the waves is to fanish forever, body, soul,
and scream. Tonight they learn what dwells beneath the waves.
The ship sailed blindly through the floor, the creak of
the whole drowned out by the ominous hum of the sea.
Ruby gripped the wheel, her knuckles white as she fought
to keep the vessels steady around her. The others huddled
together on the deck, face is pale and drawn. The
blowing eyes in the water swam closer, circling, like ships,
circling the ship, like sharts. Shadows flickered beneath the waves,
shifting and twisting with unnatural fluidity. Ruby Cassady said, her
voice trembling. They're getting closer. Ruby glanced over the edge,
her stomach churning, keeping weapons ready. If they come abroad,
we fight. Lilah loaded her pistol, her hands shaking. What
are we even fighting? Fishmen? Ghosts? Made stood at the bow,
clutching the cursed locket in her hands. She could figure
it's pool, a dark energy that seemed to resonate with
the creatures below. It's the curse, she said softly. They're
part of it. They're drawn to us. Then why don't
they just attack? Lila snapped. They're waiting, Mabe replied, a
voice hollow. They're waiting for us to make a mistake.
As if on cue. The ship jolted violently, throwing everyone
off balance. Cassidy fell hard against the deck, her knife
skittering out of her reach. What was that, Ruby shouted,
struggling to steady the will. Something massive slammed into the
hole again, tilting the ship dangerously to one side. The
water churned, and a huge dark shape rose just below
the surface, its glowing eyes glaring up at them. Whatever
it is, it's big, Cassidy yelled. Scrambling to her feet.
Ruby turned the will hard, trying to steer the ship
away from the creature, but the fog was too thick
to see more than a few feet ahead. Lila, get
up in the rigging, Tell me what's out there, Lilah hesitated,
her eyes darting to the swirling water. Are you insane?
Something down there could just do it, Ruby barked, cursing
under a breath. Lina climbed the rigging, her pistol tucked
into her belt. She reached the crow's nest. She peered
into the fog, straining to see any anything beyond the
rolling waves. Ruby, she cooled down. There's something ahead. Looks
like a massive tentacle erupted from the waves, slamming into
the bast with a deafening creak. The ship groaned as
the wood splintered, and Lidah screamed as she hung clung
to the rigging. What the hell is that, Cassidy yelled,
drawing her second knife. Another tentacle rose, this one thicker
and longer, wrapped around the side of the ship. The
vessel tilted, water spilling onto the deck as the beast
began to drag it down. May's eyes widened and she
clutched the locket tighter. It's not just any creature. She whispered,
it's one of the drowned gods. This one's bound by
the curse. Ruby drew her blade, slashing a tentacle nearest
to her. The creature let out a guttural roar that
shook the air, and the tentacle attracted leaven behind a
slip trail of dark seeming blood. Cassidy Lilac protect, May
will be shouted. If this thing wants to locket, it's
not getting it. Cassidy grabbed at a harpoon from the
deck and hurled it at the creature, striking one of
its glowing eyes. The beast recoiled, flashing wildly and sending
ways crashing over the ship. May have stumbled, nearly losing
a grip of the locket, and the power of inn surged,
pulsing like a heartbeat, and for a moment she saw
something visions of sailors drowning in the dark waters, their
faces twisted with rage and pain. This isn't going to stop,
May said, her voice shaking, not unless we give it
what at once Ruby turned to her expression fierce. We
don't give into this thing. We fight till it's dead
or we are Before May could respond, the beast struck again,
It's tentacles, smashing into the deck. The force knocked May backward,
and the locket slipped from her glass grasped, skidding across
the wet wood o May screamed, scrambling after it the locket.
The locket came to a rest near the edge of
the ship, just as another tentacle slammed down, crashing the
railing and sending splinters filing flying. May' lunged, grabbing at
the locket, just as the tentacle wrapped around her leg
and yanked her off the deck. May've Ruby shouted, driving,
diving forward and grabbing her hand. The two women locked
eyes as the creature pulled harder, dragging Mave towards the
churning water. Don't let go, may have cried, her grip slipping,
I won't, Ruby growed, digging her heels into the deck,
but the beast was too strong. It pulled Mave into
the air, her scream echoing across the waves, Ruby leaped
to her feet, slashing at the tentacle with all her strength.
The blade bit deep and the creature roared, releasing Mave
and sending her plummeting back to the deck mayve hit
the wood hard, grasping for breath, the locket still clutched
in her trembling hand. Castiy and Lilah rushed her her side,
while Ruby turned back to the will. The jaw clenched.
We're not dying out here, she shouted, Cassidy, get the harpoon,
go ready, Nailah, see if you can rig the sails,
We're getting out of this. The ship shuddered as the
beast struck again, but the gang held their ground, the
determination stronger than their fear as they fought to keep
the ship afloat. May have stared into the locket, the
dark rooms glowing faintly in the mist, she could feel
the drowned gods watching her, their voices whispering promises of
power and despair. For the first time, she wondered if
they could truly break the classe, or if they were
doomed to be consumed by it.
