Once upon a time, in a land far away, a prince suffered from a case of aquaphobia. He lived in his tower isolated from the world. His princess never came. There he died, in his tower with his heart locked away... It was a dark and stormy night, and I could still feel his presence. The soporific words crawling up my neck. Just enough to let my imagination wander. His spirit, his soul, was rooted within me and haunted my consciousness, my thoughts, my mind. My father's spirit dead, or is he really dead? His uneven lips stretched into a tight smile. I shuddered and quickly scribbled the last words on the leather page. Many of our fears are tissue paper thin and a single courageous step would get us past them, I thought as I jumped into the freezing water. With the knife pointed at my neck, the water slowly and then suddenly turned dark red… I have always feared water. Aquaphobia they called it. I have never been in contact with water. Not that I haven't showered, but I've never been completely submerged in water. I have always found water calming and soothing, but at the same time immeasurable and threatening. It attracts me, but at the same time it pushes me away. The ironic thing was that my father and I lived on a boat, the “Killer's Secret”. He smiled as he told me what he had planned for the day. “Boy, it's time for us to explore the world! It's time to take Killer on an adventure and what better place than the Bermuda Triangle? The numerous disappearances of hundreds of ships and planes in this area have made the Bermuda Triangle one of the most famous unsolved mysteries in the world! Yep, no good man ever made it out alive!” My father smiled. A crooked and uneven smile, but still the best I got... in the middle of the card... the deck from my father's strong hands. “Do you know how this world Anubis was created? With an equal balance between chaos and order. Chaos will always win, we will worship Lord Apophis, right? So my boy, you will be my first offering to the great Lord! Let chaos be in our hearts forever. With that he pushed me into the water. The roar of the water completely engulfed me, but not before I heard my father sneer, "Look before you leap Anubis." The silence and reassuring whispers advanced, overwhelmingly and disturbingly. It seems my father always knew I feared the water, but he didn't know I was a natural swimmer. For the first time, water was my only strength. And I will have to complete my legacy and Damon's. Fear… is an essential emotion for survival. I can't say I lived happily ever after. After all, I am the God of death and darkness.
