Pluvos bowed his head in reverance of the Empyrean. "I understand. It is my duty to see that my waters reach across and nourish this world, just as it is your will that your light shall shine and warm the very same. I will do my best to fulfill this destiny, great as it may be. As long as your light shall grace this world, my waters shall do the same. Thank you, Creator." And, without a further word, Pluvos flared his fins and dove back into his ocean, his mighty tail stirring up vast waves as he submerged. And so it was that Pluvos understood his origins, place, duty, and destiny.
As Pluvos swam among his reefs and currents, surveying and observing the workings of his domain, he felt a slight pang, a tiny thorn in his side. Confused and alarmed at this feeling, he quickly searched for the source of this sensation, this wrongness. Quickly locating it upon one of his shores, he darted towards the source of the disturbance, his serpentine form gliding along the dark floor of his ocean. Borrowing the eyes of one of the crabs that scuttled along the sandy beaches, he saw a sight which disturbed him greatly. Two laughing, hairless figures upon two legs were pulling one of his children, a gentle dolphin, out of the surf inside a woven mesh. They then began to kick at the creature, plunging shining objects into its side. Hearing his child's final cry of pain, seeing his creation die needlessly at the hands of these beasts, Pluvos immediately became enraged at the two creatures.
The head of the serpent rose from the waves, anger and hate flaring from his eyes at these two creatures, now cowering in sight of his awesome fury. The nearby seas tossed and roiled, and the skies above darkened with lighting and thunder. "Who are you, to end the lives of one of my children, so needlessly, so thoughtlessly?!? You hunger not, you thirst not, and yet you torture and kill my creation for your own amusement!" The two creatures immediately turned and ran from the shore, but not fast enough to escape Pluvos' righteous fury. A great wave crashed down upon them, dragging them out to sea. "You have already forgotten my sacrifices, and scoffed at my generosity! You shall be punished, and you shall suffer, just as my child has suffered at your cruel hands!" As they screamed in terror and panic, Pluvos coldly called another one of his children, a great shark with wicked teeth and mighty tail, to the two flailing creatures. In a matter of moments, the fish devoured the two beings, the water running bright red.
Turning to the land, Pluvos roared out his decree. "Do not enrage me, for I control the seas and the storms themselves! Should any forget my gifts, should any take from me without need, then they shall feel my fury, just as these two pathetic, damned wretches have!" His mind still troubled and angry, Pluvos turned back towards his sea, plunging back to its depths to brood on his latest experience. He now knew of cruelty and rage, two things he would never forget.
To forever commemorate that day, he channeled his rage and fury into the shark that had consumed the two creatures, causing it to grow to colossal proportions. Its teeth grew even more jagged and sharp, and its skin flashed to shades of black and crimson, becoming spiked and cruel. Its great fin created maelstroms in its wake, and its jaws brought death to all who angered its master. Pluvos looked into the fierce eyes of his creation, and he spoke to the beast. "Should the events that transpired on this fateful day ever dare to repeat themselves, I shall call upon you, my child. You shall be the vessel for my rage, the executor of my will and fury. Go now, Leviathan, and hope that I may never require your services again." And so, the Leviathan quietly swam to the deepest depths of the ocean, awaiting its call to service.
