Mer AU! The Cursed Family

The Chaos Begins

"So..." The pair had been quiet since walking into the market, so Atlas decided to spark a conversation.

"Where are you from?" He continued.

"Far away,"

"What made you come here?"

"Some girl dragged me out here,"

"Why?"

"Prison break,"

"You were in a prison break?"

"Yes, a guard - do you always ask this many questions?"

"Yes!"

Leviathan rolled his eyes.

"Why did you drag me out here anyway?"

"To improve your people skills! I mean, you didn't even know what a handshake was!"

"I still don't... You just shake someone's hand instead of just saying hello..."

"Gods, you're impossible!"

At mention of the gods, Leviathan's mind began to drift back to Mara. When he last saw her.

Nora sat in a cage. She got out. Mara got mad. He blacked out. Nora starts dragging him through the ocean.

The same events repeated again and again in his head as he tried to solve this never-ending puzzle.

"You ok?" Atlas had a worried look plastered onto his face.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine."

"Good because here is your first test in communication!"

"Where is it?"

Atlas pulled out a chair from under a cafe table.

"Right here! You are going to order food or a drink without any help!"

"Didn't know you were trying to kill me," Leviathan chuckled.

"Just order!"

After 2 minutes, a waiter came over.

Once the normal waiter procedure was over and it was time for Leviathan to speak, he stumbled. Instead of saying 'coffee', he said... Well, I'll let you figure that out on your own...

He swam as far and fast as he could, Atlas trailing behind him.

"It's okay! There are worse things you could say!"

"Shut up!"

"Not until you slow down!"

Leviathan came to a sudden stop, Atlas crashing into him.

"A warning would be - mmm!!" Leviathan put a hand over Atlas' mouth.

The two looked up to see a giant sea serpent sleeping in front of them.

It was probably almost as long as the Mariana trench and its eyes were the size of Leviathan. Half of its body had sunken into the sand.

"Leviathan... where are we?"

"Probably somewhere we shouldn't be..."

"You think this is the 'death tunnel' parents would tell their kids about...?"

"I don't know. Nobody told me that story."

"Did you even have parents?"

"Atlas shut it."

The serpent started to grumble as its eyes slowly opened.

Atlas whispered, "shit".

The two swam off as quickly as their tails would take them.

The roaring of the monster got louder and louder the further up they swam.

"Please tell me you have a plan!" screamed Leviathan.

"'Plan' is a very strong word... But I do have a very strong will to live!" Replied Atlas, ducking behind a rock.

"Well, that's a start!" Leviathan followed Atlas behind the boulder.

"Ok...ok! We'll be fine..." reassured Atlas.

"Yes, yes, you are so right... Except for the slight problem of a LITERAL MONSTER BEHIND US!"

"Quit yelling at me!"

"I'm sorry! What else should I do!"

The roaring got louder.

"RUN!"
