March 21st, 23 CLE
Deep under the surface of the Guardian's sea, there was a world of it's own. The ocean was teeming with life from small fish and plankton, to the mighty sharks and whales. In these depths Fizz swam along with his shark, Chomper. They had spent the day hunting fish to eat and some sort of challenge to beat.
After spending hours in the depths, Fizz left Chomper keep watch on the surrounding area as he swam inside a gate in an underwater mountain. Behind the gate, was the once great city from where he was born in. Where his kind had lived their complacent and boring lives, and where they had disappeared without a trace one day.
Fizz looks around the city, it's familiar pathways, it's magnificent structures and the smaller housing districts. He was home once more... if you could call it that anymore. He swims along the streets to the house where he had lived most of his young life before becoming the lone one of his kind known to survive.
He took a sweep through the house, checking every corner for any trace of the former residents of the house but finding nothing as usual.
After spending most of the day searching around the house, he returns to Chomper outside the city.
"Still no trace of anyone Chomper. Wanna head back to Bilgewater and cause some ruckus or see if we could find one of the monsters down here in the deep?"
Chomper lets out a guttural growl and turns to look at the surrounding seabed.
"That's what I was hoping for. Let's give those monsters a watery grave."
The two then start swimming towards a nearby underwater ravine known to be a dangerous place, a grin on Fizz's face. He always loved finding something dangerous to beat with his tricks.

Chomper eagerly swims down into the ravine, looking for something bigger to eat and something to challenge him. Only thing that's ever actually hurt Chomper was Fizz, and he knew better than to attack his friend.
"Hey Chomper, anything interesting down there?"
A simple growl answers, and Fizz nods. Good, Chomper found something fun. Fizz swims down to find a large black thing that resembled an octopus in a way. It tried to grab Chomper with one of it's tendrils, but was met with the tendril being cut off by Chomper's teeth.
"You want this one huh? Alright, I'll go find something for myself to beat then."
Fizz continues swimming through the ravine, impaling a fish as he goes and eating it while looking for something to dangerous to mess with. After a while, he finds what he's looking for. A large sting ray. Nothing dangerous normally, but this one seemed different. It was shiny black and the texture of it's "skin" seemed to be changing.
"Heeey... this guy looks like the stuff Nautilus talks about."
Then suddenly, the ray launches it's needle-sharp tail at Fizz, who nimbly avoids it and slashes the end of the tail off with the blades of his trident.
"Nuh uh uuuuh. Not that easy buddy."
((For those wondering, anyone who can go underwater can appear at the scene, but this is mostly just something I wanted to do with Fizz. He's the type to go adventure alone or with Chomper only. ))

The corrupted sting ray lets out a cry of pain through the depths as it's tail is cut off, but quickly seems to shrug it off and glares at Fizz with a murderous gaze. Fizz however, is leaning back against his trident at the seabed looking bored.
"So... buddy... you gonna cry there all night or are you gonna stop being boring?"
As if on cue, the sting ray launches itself at Fizz at a speed impossible for it's kind and slams him into a wall. Fizz shakes his head in surprise before spinning his trident around and stabbing the ornate handle-end of the trident into the side of the ray and slipping out under the creature and behind it.
"Ouch... that's more like it. "
The bleeding sting ray turns around more sluggishly and attempts to charge Fizz again, only to be met with a rock to it's face followed by a trident through the cranium.
"Tsk tsk. You're boring after all. Now... how's Chomper doing..."
Fizz swims back to where he last saw Chomper only to find the shark still fighting the octopus-like creature. Fizz knew that the creature couldn't harm Chomper, but the fact that Chomper was taking so much to do this was surprising. As he waits, Fizz impales a fish with his trident and starts eating it.
"Come on Chomper. Put on a good show or finish it already. I already beat down my prey."

Chomper growls and bites the octopus-creature on the side of the head, crushing through bone and tissue and brain, causing the creature to finally die. He then turns to Fizz and lets out a simple growl.
Fizz merely chuckles and finishes his fish before giving a slow clap though it doesn't make a sound underwater.
"You took your time buddy. Did you play around with the thing or was it REALLY that hard to kill?"
Chomper grins and lets out another, longer growl to explain the situation.
"The thing grew limbs back? Well, darn, that's not fair. Kinda like the ray I found, all covered in the goop Nautilus talks about. That thing was darn fast.
So, now what? Should we head over to Bilgewater or somethin'? It'll take a few days to get there."
Chomper looks around silently for a moment before letting out one last growl. Fizz blinks a couple of times and turns to Chomper.
"Now how did I forget that? Of course, the meeting with Gragas. That should be fun. That guy is a real partier. let's go then!"
Fizz then launches on over to the direction he knows Bilgewater to be at, Chomper swimming behind him at the same speed. The Trickster had a meeting to get to...

April 3rd, 23 CLE
Fizz returned to the depths of the Guardian's sea once more, finding his way to the familiar sights of the deserted fortress of his people. Chomper was right behind him, but his size made him stay outside the mountain fortress.
Once inside, Fizz swam over a nearby house and sat down there, looking around. Memories... of times past. His people were so happy inside the fortress, but their lives were so boring. Complacent. It was not the way of life for Fizz, as much as his people wanted it.
Nothing could keep Fizz inside the fortress in that way of life. Not safety, since he loved danger. Not intrigue, since he knew the city inside out. There was only one thing that Fizz truly missed from his former life outside all of his kind, but she was gone with them. Perhaps one day he would find them, but that would not change the moment.
Shaking the memories from his head, Fizz swims out again and looks at Chomper. With a nod of his head and a grin, he answers Chomper's wordless stare and message.
"Yup, I'm fine buddy. You hungry? Let's go find something to eat. And instead of the lil' fishes we usually get, how about we find something bigger and harder to catch? Hmm?How does that sound?"
Chomper's eyes move around as he assesses the area before letting out a growl.
"Excellent. Now, let's catch ourselves some big fish. I think what I got in mind will fill even your hunger buddy. Ever heard of a milk whale? Smaller than most, but still about as big as you. Challenge enough? Good."
Fizz starts swimming off away from the mountain fortress further away from the continent of Valoran, deep into the ocean's depths. The mighty shark was on the hunt.

After swimming for a couple of hours, Fizz and Chomper reach depths of the Guardian's sea far enough from the coast that no one from Valoran has ever seen. The sights were quite different from most of the sea when it came to wildlife.
Massive sharks roamed the area, none as resilient as Chomper's species, but still dangerous. They were of no threat to Fizz and Chomper though, as these sharks knew of the impossible to kill Dragon Sharks. Ignoring the sharks, Fizz sights the prey they were after far in the distance.
A milk whale. Landdwellers and their weird namings for the majestic giant. A completely white whale that was larger in size than most of the sharks, yet small for a fully-grown whale species. Grinning, he turns to Chomper.
"We got the prey in our sights. Now, the mighty shark stalks his prey. Let's go Chomper."
Fizz dives deeper into the depths of the sea, closing in on the whale from below so it cannot see him approaching while Chomper goes for a more straightforward approach from straight behind the whale. The prey is still far away, the distance being nearly the length of Summoner's Rift.
Fizz continues on his path deep down beneath the whale, quickly making ground against the large whale with his small size. When he gets directly beneath it, he quickly darts upwards and stabs the whale in it's underbelly with the trident, the seastone causing it to bleed heavily. He then pulls the trident out and slashes down from the wound to create a large, hard to deal with wound.
Meanwhile, Chomper catches up from behind and bites down heavily on the tailfin of the whale, disabling a lot of the whale's movement. The whale suddenly changes it's position to get into the depths of the sea, knocking it's weight on Fizz and forcing him further down into deep. After recovering from the hit, Fizz moves around the whale to it's top while the whale turns around to smash it's head against Chomper. It would not go down easily, and that was exactly what Chomper and Fizz were after. A proper fight. This would be fun.

The milk whale violently spins around, smashing Chomper against the wall of a nearby cliff, causing the Dragon shark to remove it's grip on the tailfin of the whale. The whale then swings it's head up, smashing it into Fizz and throwing him out above the surface of the ocean for a moment. While airborne, Fizz does a couple of flips with a laugh before turning to fall straight down at the whale with his trident's blades aimed at the whale's head.
"As Alistar puts it... mess with the bull, and you get the horns!"
Fizz then hits the surface of the water again, which doesn't slow him down much as he smashes his trident against the skull of the whale, and through it to the brain. The whale let's out one last cry before it's body gives in as the brain dies, and starts sinking towards the bottom.
"Phew, that thing put up a better fight than most, but it shouldn't have thrown me up there. It just made me able to smash into it's head. So, what'cha think Chomper, think you can eat it all?"
Fizz laughs and leans back in the water lazily. Chomper looks at the whale and grunts before starting to take bites out of the fat and meat the whale had gathered during it's lifetime.
"I told ya it'd be big. You're the one who said you could eat it, so now do it!"
He chuckles and spears a nearby salmon with his trident, moving it to his mouth and swallowing it whole as he waits for Chomper to try and eat a whole whale.

Fizz swims down to the bottom of the seabed, which happens to be somewhat close due to the sea being fairly shallow at the part where the whale took it's last breath. He sticks his trident to the seabed and leans against it, closing his eyes and starting to sleep.
Chomper keeps on chomping on the whale, eating up what he can but in the end not being able to finish it. He managed to eat over half of the large whale before becoming full, taking a couple of hours to do so. He then swims over to Fizz and growls, waking up the Trickster. Fizz looks at the whale and chuckles.
"I knew ya weren't able to eat a whole whale. Guess next time you'll not be such a bigmouth. Geesh, even for a shark you got one hell of a mouth Chomper."
Chomper let's out a single low growl and starts to swim towards Bilgewater.
"Back to Bilgewater? Already? Geesh, you sure feel embarrassed huh buddy..."
Fizz laughs and shakes his head, swimming after Chomper and keeping up with the shark without trouble.

"Once more unto the breach..." That saying fits the situation as Fizz returns to the depths of the Guardian's sea again. This time, he's alone, which makes one wonder where the shark was. No matter where he was, surely the great shark was hunting something.
There was a reason why Chomper wasn't around today. Fizz had wanted to go alone, and Chomper didn't mind sticking around Bilgewater, scaring sailors now and then. The reason for Fizz going alone? He wanted to search for one certain thing in his old home fortress... something he wanted no one to know about. Not even his close friend Chomper.
The residents of the fortress may had been very boring and complacent in Fizz's opinion, but there are always exceptions. Young people have crushes, and Fizz was no exception. It had been long enough that the faces of most of his people had faded from his memory, but there was one that would be stuck in his mind for a long time.
When he reaches the fortress, Fizz swims on a path he knows very well. He knows every corner of the city well, and has a clear path to where he is going. A certain modest house on the corner of a normal looking neighbourhood. He enters the house and looks around, nothing specific in the decorations and furniture catching his eye. So, he heads into a certain room in the house, that he knew to belong the a person often in his mind.
He looks at the room. Everything was in it's place... nothing gave the slightest hint towards where his people had vanished to. But this was all something he knew already, he had checked every corner of the city many times before. What he does find however... turns him silent. A look on his face very uncharacteristic for the Trickster. Instead of his excited and wide grin, there is a quiet and grim visage covering his face...

Fizz swims back into the depths of the ocean once again. Chomper seemed the be off hunting again, snice that was the only time that the shark was not usually seen with the Trickster.
He heads over to the main temple of the large city, standing on the floor of the large main room of the building as he looks around. The depths had secrets alright... but not like what the elders always taught. Whatever secret that had taken all of his kind away... perhaps there were hints in here.
He swims by the floor of the temple over to the edge of the area where his kind used to perform what religious rites they used to calm the depths. Perhaps... he could find one last hint...
((If you want Goshg, this could be a place for you to appear at. I hope the admins don't mind another date here, considering not much worth noting has gone on here as of yet.))

Yet, the water had washed away any signs of battle, if there ever were any. So, Fizz sits down at the floor of the temple, holding the Seastone trident he had salvaged from this very temple in his right hand. The Elders always said the depths had their secrets, and that they would not easily give them up. Perhaps the city found something they should not have...
They were so complacent... so sure of their safety. Fools, Fizz thought. None of them even thought to do anything dangerous, to learn how to survive outside the fortress. No one but him, and now he was the only one left. Or was he? There were rumours of an exile from the city long ago. One that... controlled the power of the Deep. Yet... the only thing Fizz knew of him, was that it was him that sent Chomper to Bilgewater that fateful day he gained the respect of the citystate.
Yet... something bothered Fizz. What force could just... make a civilization vanish, yet leave it's city and all of it's belongings intact, with no trace of a fight? Perhaps they made it out... perhaps they didn't even realize Fizz wasn't with them. They would've had no reason to return if they believed the city lost. They would've known how to make a new home...
Perhaps there was some sort of secret hidden within the temple... but that would have to wait for another day. Now, Fizz had other plans. After all, Bilgewater just HAD to learn of what he'd done over in Bandle City.
So, he stands up and looks around the temple one last time before swimming out and finding Chomper returned from his hunting, teeth filled with bits and pieces of meat as usual.
Well I see you ain't hungry anymore Chomps. Let's start movin' towards home port in Bilgewater. I've got a tale to tell.
With a grin, Fizz launches off towards Bilgewater, Chomper following close behind as usual, keeping watch.
