El Fantasma:
Rain pounded the deck of the Bloody Blade. Though a torrent of water seethed around them, El Fantasma’s crew were oblivious to it; their eyes could focus only on their captain, who stood in front of an altar at the bow of the ship. Fantasma raised his cutlass, a pitiless weapon made from coral and bone, and brought it down. The captive woman screamed once and then lay still, blood pouring from her stomach and flowing with the rainwater down the deck.
“Great Terrox, come claim your prize,” Fantasma said, his voice the sound of the waves themselves. A groan emanated from beneath the water. For a moment, there was nothing but the sound of rain and the waves. Then a giant tentacle emerged from the deep; slipped around the woman with a wet, sucking sound; and dragged her below the water.
Fantasma called out in a strange and horrible tongue, the words unknown to but a few scholars and even fewer followers of ancient darkness. This time, several tentacles writhed out of the depths to await further instruction. “Tonight,” Fantasma said to his crew, “we hunt.”
