Leviathantale: Call of the Abyss

(Please note that this is an EXTREMELY different take on Leviathantale; right down to character designs. Really using new imagination and world building.)Stick to the Reef. It's safe in the Reef. Nothing can hurt you so long as you keep close to the heart of our beautiful kingdom.That's what everyone within the network of branching coral loved to preach. To go where the colorful shoals of tangs dared not to venture was to quite literally plummet into the void. Yet still, Cross could feel the current push upon his black-tipped webbing, guiding him towards the outskirts of the territory he knew so well. It was there he'd look out into the open ocean, trailing himself along the border where the water's temperature would drop to a gentle chill. Most would recoil. They'd move along in favor of the sun basked clearings where they could frolic in the warm sands.Yet Cross didn't cower from the cold which grappled his bones and hardened his dark and pale scales. Instead he'd subtly lean into the growing darkness's embrace. The stories their queen, Dream, had spun of the world outside the Reef should be enough to have him steer clear as well- Yet still, Cross was nothing if not foolishly brave.
