In the distance, a storm rages. The clouds circle above a strange and limited typhoon off the shore of the Endless Blue, and in the midst of their gray are flashes of a familiar fire. In the center of the swirling whirlpool, just barely stretching its neck above the surface of the water, is the bony skull of a monster that surveys Helovia’s shore with dead eyes. Along its spine is set a thin column of scales, each more tattered than the last—all remaining vestiges of its better, stronger days. The only indication that this beast is indeed alive is its massive heart, which oozes a sickly poison that swirls into the water around it with every suffering beat. To the one who can hear and any he alerts to the phenomenon, the song sung by a demon is both deafening and chilling. The notes spill out from between sharpened white teeth set in a jaw picked clean of flesh. Only the bones of the sea-bound dragon sing, and only Volterra can hear their twisted tune.

Down in the ocean there’s a great black hole
Where the birds fly high and the fish swim low
Quick round the pit is a storm of fire
Evil’s strung about the clouds like an ancient ire

And here I am in this wicked home,
A well dug tomb full of locked up bones!
And here I lie with my heart exposed,
Food for the wicked and poisoned souls!

Look into the tempest and your eyes may burn
At the sight of a demon whose might was spurned
Here the waters are wild and the bones are bleached
As my sentence lengthens I must sharpen my teeth!

And here I am in this wicked home,
A well dug tomb full of locked up bones!
And here I lie with my heart exposed,
Food for the wicked and poisoned souls!

So from these depths my rage will rise,
Teeth going clack
And pain in my eyes!
Oh feed me a snack
Of your love
Or your morals;
For a token of devotion
I’ll return to the coral.
