Side Story: The Magikarp

It's been a long time since I first arrived in this place and I could still remember it vividly. I was living the best of my life in the open water, traveling with my school toward the Island of Changing waters to have the chance to ascend the mighty falling waters but little did I know that those days were numbered as I was caught by several interwoven strings. I was taken away and caged in a glass prison together with others of my brethren where we were mocked through the clear barrier with looks of indifference as if telling us that imprisonment was our fate, to begin with.

We were fed foul-tasting meals that we had no choice but to eat as the alternative is to starve but the worse is yet to come, one by one my brothers and sisters were taken away and when I was the last one remaining my captors seemed to be getting impatient seemingly wanting to get rid of me as fast as possible.

I don't know where my brethren are after being taken away but I'm sure it's not any worse than this clear four-sided place. As the days passed my captor took me away, I thought I was about to get my freedom or my end but alas I was just under new management as I was put in another cage filled with several of my brethren, on the upside it's was a larger prison. After some time passed I noticed something strange ...….. no to be precise it's something unsettling.

The brethren I'm with now..... Something is wrong with them. They seem less conscious? ... no they are less themselves. What happened to them? They only seem to be able to eat, sleep and swim, while conversations are limited to single words such as food, hungry, play, and sleep.

After weeks in captivity, I was once again taken away but now I'm not alone as all my weak-minded brethren were with me. I had thought that we were being taken away to another four-sided cage but to my surprise, we were set free. The location we were left at was a place filled with others of our kind and in my excitement, I immediately swam around looking for a path that leads back to the open water, back home but alas it was pointless as to my dismay I'm in another larger cage just in the form of the outside world and that made me realize that my hope for freedom is but a farfetched dream.

I accepted the fact that there was no escape so I decided that if there is no other choice but be imprisoned then I will be the king of the prison. Even if they imprison my body they can never cage my spirit for I have in my blood the lineage of the great leviathan of the deep, the one hailed as the incarnation of the rage of the seas. I gathered my slow-witted brethren and proclaimed myself as their leader which they all agreed with and now where I go they go.

Even though I'm still trapped, this place makes it so that I don't mind it as much as the water is clean, the place is large enough to swim in and the food … just the food makes it worth staying. After a year of staying in this strange place and ruling it as I see fit, I found that it might not be so bad as it was a peaceful life unlike the one before where I'm always in danger of being preyed upon and eaten but everything changed when the ugly one appeared.

She looked similar to us in shape but a lot of things are also different first her color and her fins it was like she was eaten and then spit back out by the predators of the deep. Just the first day of her arrival she was able to take over my kingdom and made us all know our place. She made it clear that we must avoid her territory or else undergo the slap of doom and her territory is a 20-meter radius of where ever she is currently.

I challenge her rule for many days but each time I was defeated and even though she is already the strongest in this water she still continues to get stronger due to training with the younger kin of my captors. Not wanting to lose hope I train myself by copying what the ugly one was doing and sure enough, I was improving but no matter how hard I tried it was all for naught as when the days turn into years the ugly one became one of the leviathans although different in the form she still gained the regality and strength that came with the ascension and not only that she also gained something I never thought I would associate with her, Beauty.

Even with her change I never stop challenging her rule and when several more years passed she told us that she will be going on a journey with her trainer who I believe to be the young captor that is always with her. I was happy that I was once again able to regain my rule however I felt empty as even though I have what I wanted I was still at the end unable to even once defeat her. I continued training myself but I still can't imagine being able to even get close to her strength.

(What am I missing?)

I dove into contemplation thinking about what she had that I did not to be able to improve so much and then it came to me when I saw another young captor playing by the lakeshore.

(I need a young captor no .... a trainer!)

Unlike the former Ugly one's trainer, this one is younger but full of potential as she feeds me quite a lot! which must mean she is a good trainer!

I used most of my time following my potential trainer around following her every whim whenever she is near the lake which is almost every day. I'm still not able to understand her but I am able to know her intentions somehow and that is enough for me as it may take time but one day I will defeat my rival with her help, my trainer Alice!
