After calling in just near every favor I ‘ad, I managed to ‘ave a chinwag with the big fish himself, Leviathan, Prince of Envy. ‘Course usually when he holds council he glamors up and takes you to the nice little island in the middle of his Plane. Should’ve known he wouldn’t offer me such pleasantries. Nah, I got to face him in all his fury and form in the howling winds of the Tempest. Lucky for me, Levi’s got bigger fish to fry than past grievances with little ol’ me. No… Pleasant was spilling the beans proper. He did manage to spring someone out of Levi’s Locker. Someone right nasty. Stronsay. The bloody nasty Nuckelavee.
A harbinger of death and decay and master of manipulation and terror. Just having ‘im rock up to our shores can rot the lands and drive scores of tourists to absolute madness. ‘Course, I’ve ‘ad my fair share of warnings about the Nuckelavee back at the Company. I reckon he’s more of a problem in that part of the world than over here, choice? Funny enough, Stronsay has done time for more than his fair share of people. The Ozhogs had their turn with him, the Angels of course, and he used to be charged by the Mither but that fell through at some point, and I reckon most recently he’s been spade and pail up in Levi’s Locker.
Now, unlike Visayas, Stronsay has no known or obvious weaknesses. Fresh water, I suppose, but that’s more of a rumor than anything solid… and not like we’re surrounded by fresh water for what that’s worth. Y’know, I’d love to take care of the Nuckelavee same as we did Visayas… but that’s just not gonna happen. If the Ozhogs, Angels, Mither, and Levi all had to settle with imprisonment, I’m guessing that’s the best we can do too. If, IF, we can even do that. Right!—Speaking of imprisonment, Levi gave us his blessing to watch over the New Guy for him. ‘Course Loveland wasn’t imprisoned so much as he was being kept safe. Apparently, he’s one who loves to wander his way into trouble. I s’pose we are no better than trouble outright, but we can at least keep him safe.
