Back in ancient times, two cities were at war. The priests of one city conspired to curse an artifact which was then stolen and brought to the rival city. Once there, the curse activated and drew the waters of the sea into the city, sinking it into the ocean and ending the war.

Mystic didn't know any of this, but found a cool glowing rock deep underwater one day and snatched it to show it off. At least until the curse came back to life and began to channel torrents of seawater into HIM. As his growing belly pushes him out of the water, he struggles to find a way out of the situation he's gotten into.
