I started writing this story on 02/04/2020.


I got inspired by this album of music here, it is very good:
Soundtrack: Sharks - Maelstrom EP (link on the first comment).
Songs: Out My Head, Amethyst, Maelstrom, Mermaid, Coral


I got inspired by the album above, and a guy wrote a comment on the SoundCloud page of the song called Sharks - Coral (link on the first comment) of the album.
His username is TimeShocked, URL is vinod-mahadik-806863844, he commented at 0:44 of the song.
This is his comment:
To conclude the EP, I made a story that summarizes the EP. There was a girl named Anna who has met a classmate that can read her mind and Anna seems to never notice it. After a few days, Anna got suspicious of her classmate having one "?". "How can she read my mind?". She decided to confront her and tell her to get "OUT MY HEAD". After she did that, her classmate stopped reading her mind. But they were still friends. After that they went to the beach after a few hours, Anna saw an "AMETHYST" glowing at the shallow shore. Anna went to get it and it was hard to get it off the ground. After getting it off the ground, Anna noticed that she was getting sucked in the ocean, but it was not the ocean, It was a "MAELSTROM"! After getting sucked in Anna was shocked by the fact that she can breathe underwater and was admiring the magical reefs of the oceans glowing. After some time she encountered a "MERMAID" that looked nice and gave her shelter. After that, she lived in the "CORAL" reefs forever.

Also, a character that appears in this story, is a little inspired by Maui from the Disney movie called Moana.
The fact that he can turn into a humanoid bird and a hawk-like bird.
And there's also an inspiration from the space exploration game called No Man's Sky, I love that game, and I would love to explore space with a spaceship.


I wrote this story for some time, well, one year, from 2020 to now, and did not post it, I kept writing it.
And I think that I want to start posting it, so I am writing this introduction here, I am writing on 12/07/2021.
I am also slicing up this story into chapters, the source of it is a big text file with 1.157 lines and two hundred thousand words.
Well, let's get to the story, shall we?


---


There was a girl named Ana, she was soaring high in the sky, it was in the afternoon.
She was thinking about some bad things about death and tragedy because she was close to the Clouds of Madness.
It made people think bad things, that was the bad effect of being there.
Some said that the wars and fights between people were caused by the storms that those clouds brought.
Suddenly, her necklace broke and she fell on the beach of an island that was close there.
The fall was too high and she got hurt, was knocked unconscious, and slept on the cold sand.
