Chapter 96 - 18

### Historical Event: The Rising of the Kraken

At the end of the war in **Skulls and Dragons**, a decisive clash occurred that not only changed the course of the conflict, but also left an indelible mark on the history of the races that inhabited this land. This impressive event became known as **"The Rising of the Kraken"**.

### Background of the Event

In the year 56, as the war dragged on, the forces of **Yurgol the Fateseer** faced constant defeat. In a critical battle, **Carmen Sutton** and **Esmond Dundragon** fought together on the field, fiercely defending themselves against the attack of the **Kingdom of Gharok the Whisperwind** and the **Kingdom of Ghordun the Hellspeaker**.

However, the situation became increasingly desperate. Carmen, disarmed and thrown to the ground, and Esmond, wounded by an arrow, felt the weight of defeat approaching. Their enemies were about to execute the couple, when something extraordinary happened.

### The Look of Elliott Wigan

Meanwhile, **Elliott Wigan**, only five years old, was on his horse, watching the horrendous scene of the battle from a distance. With an innocent but intrigued look, he observed the bravery of his mother and father, as well as the shadows of death approaching them.

**Elliott, muttering to himself:**

"How weak they are..."

Facing the impotence of that tragic situation, Elliott decided it was time to act differently. Unaware of the power he truly possessed, he closed his eyes and released his will, wishing for something that seemed natural to him: protection for his parents.

### The Emergence of the Kraken

At that moment, something magnificent and terrifying happened. The battlefield began to tremble, and a **Kraken**, an ancient mythical creature, burst forth from the depths of the earth. With its powerful claws, the Kraken began to dominate the battlefield, attacking Gharok and Ghordun's troops with a fury never seen before.

The soldiers, terrified and confused, tried to fight the colossal creature, but their attempts were futile. The Kraken made no distinction between friend and foe, and the creature's claws began to reap the lives of the soldiers, leading to carnage in seconds.

### The Retreat and the Opportunity

Faced with the terror generated by the colossal beast, Gharok and Ghordun's soldiers were forced to retreat. However, as the chaos unfolded, **Carmen Sutton**, ever determined, saw an opportunity. With a swift gesture, she kidnapped the queen of the King of Gharok and the daughter of Lord Hellspeaker as confusion dominated the field.

**Esmond**, now with the chance to exact revenge and turn the tide of battle, struck deftly and killed two generals of the opposing forces. This action not only turned the tide of battle in Yurgol's favor, but also established a new balance of power on the battlefield.

### The Aftermath of the Event

**The Rising of the Kraken** not only changed the tide of battle, but also became a monumental milestone in the history of **Skulls and Dragons**. Elliott Wigan's strength, though not fully understood, brought to light the possibility of an uncertain and fearless future, where goodness and strength could coexist.

#### Legacy of the Event

1. **Shifting Alliances:**

- The event caused many kingdoms to reconsider their strategies and alliances. The power of the Kraken and the bravery of Carmen and Esmond showed that the war was far from over.

2. **Mysticism and Fear:**

- With the emergence of mythical creatures and unknown powers, the races of **Skulls and Dragons** began to rethink their beliefs and tactics. The Kraken became a symbol of uncontrollable power.

3. **Elliott Wigan:**

- From that day on, Elliott would be seen as a figure of mystery and potential. The connection he had with the Kraken shed light on his importance, changing not only his destiny, but also the destiny of everyone around him.

Thus, **The Rising of the Kraken** would become a legend in the history of **Skulls and Dragons**, demonstrating that not everything was predestined, and that in the battle between light and shadow, there was still room for surprises and new beginnings.
