“One mile.” his monitor blinked again. It was funny to him, that just six months ago he was just a simple sailor in the Navy. Trained how to shoot guns and swab decks, but now he was considered a researcher in boundry pushing science. It was funny to him, how when the recruiters from this mysterious company came aboard the warship searching for “Physically, and mentally strong seamen,” his peers suggested him. And all because he read some books about the sea time to time, and liked discussing things other than women, beer, and fighting.
This was oddly surreal now that his anxiousness was gone. He shined his lights all around in an attempt to locate more interesting specimens, when it caught his eye. A mass of large tentacles
“Hoooly crap! Giant squid!” he hollered into his microphone, as he snapped as many pictures as he could manage, before the graceful behemoth swam away.
“I saw it on the front view camera!” Jacob’s voice was brimming with excitement.
“Yeah! Let’s see what else I can find.” he said confidently, as he sank deeper. His boost of courage and excitement remained with him unflinchingly for a while more, when his monitor sprang to life “You are now entering the Abyssal Zone.”
Creatures could be hard to find this deep down, though some questioned why you would want to. At this point the creatures could produce their own light through chemical reactions in their bodies. Many took on odd, alien like shapes and growths in order to thrive in their very strange, other wordly home. He continued sinking, thinking of absolutely nothing besides taking as many pictures as he could with his high quality camera.

“Look it that,” he said pointing at a viperfish; it was slender and ferocious looking, with huge transparent teeth and a tentacle like appendage on it’s head which held a light on the end. The five month training period for this kind of diving had definitely paid off, he thought. He remembered when he started out, how he’d flail around in a desperate attempt to find some footing in the training tanks. But it all came natural now. He was almost a fish in his own right. The viperfish caught itself an odd looking shrimp, and swam away in a hurry.
Anthony laughed, “What if I turn my lights out?” he questioned himself. “20,000 Feet: Hadal Zone reached.” It was almost time for him to go back up, the suit couldn’t handle much more pressure. But, he just had to see what it’d be like without lights first. Before he could act however, Jacob began to speak.
“Anthony, Cut your weights, it’s time to resurface.” Over both his legs were entirely inexpensive and unnecessary weights which covered from the ankle to the knee, their only purpose was to help him sink much quicker. He un-latched one of the weights, and found he wasn’t sinking, or rising in the water, just floating where he was. Now would be perfect. Flipping the switch caused his monitor screen to die, along with all other light on his diving suit. He gasped in awe as he starred in disbelief at the sea of green, blue, and red lights, all emitted from the creatures which dwelled in this preposterous region of the world.

“Can you see what I see?* Anthony asked the control group, who were slack jawed at the beauty they witnessed on their screens. But then something odd happened, the lights began to fade out, or swim away. It was like watching every star in the night sky disappear one by one. “Yo, guys... where’d the fish go?” he asked, but then some new lights appaered. These lights were bigger and stronger though. A faint glimmer from what appeared to be a reflective surface caused Anthony to curiously switch his lights back on.
“Mother of God!” Jacob shouted as he leapt from his chair, along with several other researchers “drop your last weight!” he shouted into the microphone. Leviathan, equipped with a mouth easily wide enough to swallow two men whole and covered in dim glowing lights, and with huge transparent teeth. Anthony scanned for a weak point to strike, but it was armored with shiny scales, and was merely three or four meters from him. Mouth gaping, barreling forward, intending to feed. Anthony dropped the last weight, and removed a harpoon from his back
“Tell my old man, I found the Killer Fish.” he said, raising the harpoon to strike, as the Leviathan drew near.
The End.

Azigarath, stories should not be posted elsewhere until after the deadline.
Ogre, nice story. :) I really liked how it was written, interesting too. A few technical problems; underwater physics and such - shouldn't affect your mark though. :P

It wouldn't be a good fantasy story if I didn't defy reality a little, right? :P
Can't wait to see some more entries though, so far they've been really good.
Edited for typos.

The Last Tear
The morning sun glows over the city and the bells rang as loud as thunder. The sunlight shines through a grey window and hits a tall figure with raven black hair, muscular and ocean blue eyes.The figure stretches, while shading his eyes from the yellow glare; the figure walks towards a mirror and looks at his reflection. The mirror reflects a sad face at him, suddenly the door opens and tall brown hair woman with brow eyes walks in.

"Justin breakfast is ready and the children are already eating" the woman said, "I be down in a moment my love" Justin said happily. "Well you might want to hurry up" the woman said, as she walks out of the room.

He knew he would have to tell his wife that tonight he will leave. Justin was called to war by the king to fight against the Horde. He heads downstairs and enters the kitchen where his two kids sat, one is a boy with black hair, brown eyes, and short; on the other side is a girl who has brown hair,brown eyes, and is also short. When he looks up he saw his wife Elizabeth.He remembered the first time he saw her, she was an angel in his eyes; he fell in love with her right away.

"Morning dad" the children said, "Good morning Tommy and Mandy" Justin replied smiling. "You finally decided to come down. Lucky you, there still some breakfast left" Elizabeth said, walking over to give her husband a kiss. "I was thinking maybe, we should go to the park and have a picnic" Justin stated picking up a waffle. "Well, I wish I could come dad, but I'm going over to Andrew's house" Tommy said, "Well that's fine.What about you Mandy" Justin said. "I come dad" Mandy exclaimed "I love the park!". "Will you be joining us my love" Justin asked, "of course I will" Elizabeth replied.

Around noon the family left for the park.When they got to the park, they set a cotton blanket on the soft grass.Elizabeth unpacks the picnic basket and place the food on the blanket, while Justin is playing with Mandy.

"Lunch is ready" Elizabeth Time4Rants RIP Never Forget! 2010-2013, In Memory of Old Timer: ""I'm a doctor, not a spiritual medium!" RIP ;(

exclaimed, as Justin picks up Mandy and carries her over to the blanket. "Let me down dad" Mandy shouted laughing, "why should I? I think I like you up there" Justin replied, setting Mandy down on the blanket. "This looks wonderful" Justin said grabbing a sandwich, "thanks dear" Elizabeth said blushing.

After lunch Justin took Mandy around the lake and points out different fish.When they get back to the blanket, Elizabeth was reading a book called "The Wizard and The Thief". Justin walks over and gives Elizabeth a kiss on the cheek. After a few minutes pass Justin began to speak.

"I love all of you very much" he said, "we know that, why are you bringing it up" Elizabeth said worry. "I just wanted to tell you again." Justin stated "also, I just want to say...", "go on, say what you were going to say" Elizabeth said puzzle by Justin's behavior. "I tell you later, right now lets just enjoy this beautiful day.The sky is blue and the sun is golden.Oh, how I will always cherish this life" voiced Justin. Elizabeth didn't respond, but her face shows worriness.

At 5'o clock the family was back home.Justin unlocks the door and held it open for Elizabeth and Mandy; Elizabeth sets down the picnic basket on the table and turns around to face Justin.

"Mandy go to the other room" Elizabeth said pointing to the living room, "but..." "no buts, just do it" Elizabeth demanded.

When Mandy went into the living room the conservation continues.

"Justin, what is going on? You worried me at the park" Elizabeth stated. "Do you know about the war" Justin responded, "yes, of course everyone knows about the war" she responded. "Well, you know how they are calling back knights to fight the Horde.Well..." "this can't be happening" Elizabeth cried. "I thought you were done being a knight!" "Its not my decision, it's the king decision" Justin yelled, "mommy whats wrong" Mandy asked. "Mandy I said go into the living room" Elizabeth said crying. "I think they should know" Justin state Time4Rants RIP Never Forget! 2010-2013, In Memory of Old Timer: ""I'm a doctor, not a spiritual medium!" RIP ;(
