Cool backstory for Kraken and pretty creepy. I also really like how the crystal went missing.

“But the world was once ocean, and it will be again. Someday, the sea will rise and everything will be water, stretching towards an infinite horizon. But Kraken has existed, in spirit at least, since that first clammy thing crawled from the trenches of the deep, and his patience is as vast as his element.” This is my favourite paragraph.
