Over the centuries, mythical creatures had suffered a great deal; from humans hunting them down, to some becoming extinct.
So, in the modern century, where most didn’t know about their existence these creatures had come to an understanding; they could have the upper hand over humans.
Kouta smiled with sharp teeth widely, box in hand. He wondered the halls of the sea side Japanese style mansion gleefully.
As a Kraken with no known family left not much could put a smile on his face in his long existence; ripping ships apart in his youth was one, causing tsunami’s was another, but this was a different kind of positivity he felt.
It was the reason he was willingly spending parts of his vast wealth on such silly things found in the box.
His little miracle, his paralarvae was in need of entertainment.
“Little sea monster~ Daddy is back with presents!” He spoke with joy while using one of his tentacles to open the sliding door. “You won’t believe what I got-“
What greeted Kouta was a nursery, round nest in the centre of the room, hand made baby toys scattered inside the nest, and a tank on one wall of the room with all kinds of corral and formations inside.
But no little kraken in sight.

You sighed as you looked over the edge of the building. There were not too many organisations for this anymore, but mythical creatures were still a thing unfortunately.
Your purpose; to hunt down any mythical creatures you are assigned to eliminate.
Your target was said to be a low ranked sea creature disguised as a human. Shouldn’t be too bad-
A notification popped up suddenly on your phone, once you read it you stopped dead in your tracks. The creature wasn’t a low rank; it was a Kraken.
They were said to be extinct. The very fact there was still some alive was dangerous. Extremely high ranked mythical creatures were eliminated years ago for that reason.
You had to get out of there immediately-
“**Ahh~ so those humans finally warned you~. Poor thing… left alone to deal with old me….” Spoke a smooth voice behind you.
Turning your head slowly you came face to face with a towering man, ash blue hair, gold and blue scales glittering on his pale neck and arms, clawed fingertips, finned ears, and the most striking trait blue and golden tentacles behind him.
His Japanese style kimono took you off guard, with fine silk and perfectly embroidered patterns.
“Now… how shall I deal with you-“ He paused as if shocked by lightning staring at you with a blank stare. With the opening you bolted for the door leading down the stairs of the building.
It was moments later you heard an echoing sound, but unlike the usual deep sounds Krakens were know for making it actually sounded more higher pitched as if shocked.
The sound of a door being ripped open sounded a from floors above. “WHY DO YOU HAVE MY CHILDS SCENT ALL OVER YOU HUMAN!!! GET BACK HERE! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY CHILD!? GIVE HER BACK!”
Came an echoing voice from the top floor that was almost indistinguishable from that of a monster. The loud noises coming from the stairs above signalled the Kraken was after you. You continued to run down the stairs at full speed not daring to stop.
