The 'Kraken'

[michael lai]

It was thirty years later( it terms of fish that is )when the embers last held their party in the valley of serenity. Much has happened since then, darkness has slowly crept in, byrds don't sing anymore, shrimps don't forage anymore. A strange stillness was creeping through the area, strange creatures started to roam around, ember folk started to go missing. It was the arrival of the dark ages and the beginning of what would be known as the great war where the embers would once again take up arms and where the great demon lord kraken was slain by a young ember named Bubu. An adventure awaits, enjoy..........

Cpt Jack Sparrow has since fled and the black pearl is inside that mess somewhere..

[Justikanz]

You win liao lor...

Now we need to come up with good story lines to match our tanks...

Hey, remove the moss lah... The nanas cannot be seen...

[michael lai]

Just trying to make the thread more interesting and to garner more response only. mah. Anyway, will be tearing down scape soon, so I thought just leave them as they were...

[Justikanz]

What a waste... The 'Kraken' looks gorgeous, don't throw that away... Rescape or decomission this tank? I am eyeing the nanas and the bolbitis... Haha...

[michael lai]

Probably rescape, will inform you later. The nanas on the left of the 'kraken' are coffefolias, the best of the lot. Glad you like scape, couldn't afford to buy multiple flashes so an angle shot was the best I could mustered, also didn't want to go around and disturb the kakis.

Wa... very nice opening ...

I like the 'octopus' plant at the centre... looks like it's going to grab any of the passing fish suddenly!

[celticfish]

[Quixotic]

For those who are wondering about what Kraken is, it IS with refrence to the "octopus" plant.

The many long arms are really grabbing you, literally - your attention, that is.

Thanks, quixotic. I see you have pick up the 'flow' of what I envisioned when I started this scape.

[Quixotic]

Well, I play PC Games sometimes and I knew Kraken from one of the games! Age of Mythology... Muahaha...

Hi Celticfish,
Bubu will be presented to you guys when I get my hands on a macro lens and a ST-E2. Valiant was he, as all seem lost in the nigh hour! With only his faith and love of his people left, he gather forth whatever strength left in him and let fly the spear of destiny! The spear skewed the demon and broke his demonic will and the tide of the great battle swung.......BUbu is now in quarantine 2 feet tank.

Hi jacquetlc,
I'm glad you like the literature or storytelling . This scape is actually a rescape of my previous scape called Ember's party and thus the link...
