I came from a small Nordic village where a boy becomes a man when theyre 12 with only task to do so is dive down in the Sea of Nordicossey and try to capture a Cyan Glowing Ender Clam to retrieve the diamond pearl only able to be seen at night and handled with fluorescent seaweed goo to maintain its Cyan glowing state. It was very challenging, Villagers made it easy by having added on equipment to help them find the Clam faster, such as; Bottle glass goggles, Leather flippers or even breathing in a shark head. But only 9 of 100+ men were only able to do it with no gear what so ever. That moment then I knew i wanted to be the 10th Man to conquer the clam and give the diamond pearl to the woman i would spend my life with just how my father did before he passed due to a War with the underwater Enders, being the 4th man after my great grandpop being 1st to do so. Other families are honored by those that completed such a ridiculous task specially being down in the treacherous ocean with sea monsters that can be bigger than a village. While i was on the journey to "man-hood" i was told by my villagers friends that I wouldn't be able to complete it and die a boy, little did they know i keep special talents to myself and trained myself in the ocean at night finding slingshot rocks form over 100 meters away. The night came, it was time to be a man. My heart is racing full of excitement, the horn is blown, WE'RE OFF ! Diving down and i see others using their brought equipment. I dive down further having to snake out stinging Cold Lightning Eels. Others were shocked and had to go for air and given their last try. I'm about 30 meters down, focused, calm... AND four eels wrap around my body, two on each of my ankles, two on each of my wrist. I was staying calm as much as i can but i was freaking out on the inside, I knew this would be over for me. I can see friends and villagers looking at me as they head back up to finish. I continue to stay calm as possible they were thinking i was dead as I was too, i can see something glowing in a distance on a reef while the eels are still holding on to my body not shocking me. I see another eel swimming its way towards me im currently starting to freak out a little more and its making me waste oxygen i need to preserve, its getting closer. I can feel my chest pumping, to need air, I'm afraid to shake to not get shocked little did i know I passed out. It was dark, cold and lonely, I thought i was dead. I was able to breath for some reason, which is why i thought i have died and went off to the Village Gods above. As i open my eyes it feels as if the eels were still clinging onto my body, I see what was glowing down below me and swam towards it being a Cyan Glowing Ender Clam. I'm swimming faster than ever i have imagined, as fast a Dolphincaster, if not FASTER. I come up to the clam and just as i thought it was an ultra glow of not one, not two, but THREE Cyan Glowing Ender Clams. I grab all three thinking has anyone ever done this before ? Came to realize only the first ever Villager to do so with two clams received, Norwalksson that was the son of Norwalk and his father being the village creator. I'm swimming up and i notice a male figures body behind a bundle of seaweed bushes, I was thinking i was crazy and still in the afterlife but yet seeing how I would want to have an outcome due to passing out in the ocean. Turns out as i reach surface, i noticed i was starting to glow around my legs and wrist i then see that the eels are still on my body and I get slower as they release and swim away. I'm about to break water and few friends and family jumped in the ocean and helped me out, I'm gasping for air "did i die?", "am i dead?" my mother was concerned and other villagers were talking on how i didn't catch a clam. I pull my pocket satchel from my pocket and show that there are three clams in my possession. Legend tales that a fake man will be a sad man for having fake clams. Our village chief inspects clams, he is silent face is astonished he looks at me and smiles, he announces the clams ARE fake ! However one is real. I said impossible ! Friends said that I always tried to be the best but id never fake to have an extra clam knowing that Norwalksson had two. Some say they watched from above and saw a human figure come behind me to help me back for air others thought i was using a shark head and threw it off before the top of the surface. My mother and my close village friends and family were happy that i found two clams, i said no ITS THREE ! my grandpop over heard and said WAIT ! (He had stepped down from chief to focus on family and the village from being tired of all the wars he went through, but yet he told me he is ALWAYS ready to war) My grandpop looked the third clam over as they said it was fake and said oh my Nordicossey, my boy ! *hugs me* I'm confused in awe. He puts the clam up and says THIS IS THE ONE OF 3 RAREST CLAMS in all of the Nordicossey Sea and only the TRUE God of the Sea can find them, but it takes so much time because no one can hold their breath for that long. I guess i was the chosen one. My grandpop looks at the other clams and says ANOTHER ! HE FOUND ANOTHER RARE CLAM ! The last one was a basic clam, everyone is still astonished i have two rare clams. My mother said i will be back and she came back with a box with Olaf on it from my dad, my grandpop said go on open it, It was the the last Rarest clam. They said my father wanted me to wait to become a man to have this rare clam. But i am now the owner of all three rarest clams and i told my grandpop the full story on how i blanked out and he hugged me and said that was your father down their with the eels, i am also an eel speaker and occasionally visit him, hes not able to comeback due to controversy of the other villagers, they would see it as witch craft and try to kill him and our family. Your mother doesn't know too much but does visit the ocean to have the eels surround her but never fully went in. go get some rest now lad, i mean Sir you have a busy celebration tomorrow, my grandpop said. This is how i became a man and soon to be the possible new chief of the village.
