"The ancestor of my entire species, the first Deep One to come after Mother Hydra," says Lua'al-rei as Tsybenko begins signaling. "We were ancestor worshippers once, in another Earth's oceans. We were immortal then and more powerful than humans could imagine, and Dagon and Hydra were our oldest, and so our gods. If either of them reached out with their minds to any of us there was nothing that could stop them. My people came to be here and not there when one of the ancient wars tore a rift beneath the waters- a whole army fell through before it closed. Without Dagon, we've become our own people- a people he would consider weak, too flawed to live. If he's even a tenth as strong as the legends say, every Deep One from here to the Middle Waters could be snuffed out like lava in a cold current."
