And the OLD ONE rose from the sea awakened because it was his time

Stories of his existence had been turned to fable and he had become a story some told around their campfire for he had been forgotten.
Forgotten by all except those tasked to prepare for the day when the sleeper had woken by the many who ignorantly praised his image

It's told the mighty Titan had fought a war against the Gods and he was one of the mightiest. It took Marduk in the form of Zeus to smite him into slumber. Dead but dreaming

Zeus is said to have had turned his back on mortals and may have played a part in the waking of the OLD ONE so that he could challenge the Almighty himself

It was mortals playing in darkest magicks that opened the gates to allow such evil to enter and if the gates were ever opened again the dead would walk the earth

Many have died just looking at the OLD ONE
Some will call him Punisher
or Leviathan,
To true believers,
He is the dark and unforgiving Cthulhu the KRAKEN!
