The Mystical Myth of Titanic

A risk-taking merchant commissioned the construction of a two-hundred sixty-nine meter cruise ship to lure wealthy patrons from all over the world into witnessing the magnificence of the legendary vanishing islets of ice, also known as icebergs that have stayed afloat for thousands of years along the Atlantic Ocean. Many cited it as simply magical.

Myths suggest that each islet contains many souls said to be god-sent to be protectors of seafarers who were mainly merchants and instrumental in the development of the world’s economy. As the weather got colder, winter got longer, snowfalls were falling heavier, the ‘souls’ started growing in mass and into towering heights, dominating the icy scape of the ocean, much to the delight of the guests.

Titanic was the name of the newly-built ship that would sail for the first time in April 1912. One fateful evening just after dinner aboard the cruise liner just off the coast of Newfoundland, everyone was elegantly dressed sipping wine and champagne, emptying bottles and bottles of them while being entertained by a live orchestra.

As they began to catch a glimpse of the icebergs on the horizon music started getting louder. Everyone was excited, thrilled and more so, wasted! Everyone was dancing with their partners, engaging in sexual acts as if nothing mattered more than sex and drugs, except that their partners — weren’t their real partners.

It was a night of infidelity, if not polygamy and excess. After all, they’re thousands of miles away from mainland surrounded by nothing but mythical ghosts that likely only exists in folklore.

The said ‘soul guardians’ of the oceans, though mesmerizing as if it came straight from a fairytale, are called vanishing islets, or souls for a reason. Some of them are believed to possess the power of invisibility around ships they deem unpleasant passing through the route.

As drums got louder and louder, the ship’s electrical power started to malfunction. Lights shut off, including the navigation control causing the ship to sail faster and only increasing in speed as if trying to synchronize with the sound of music. Suddenly without warning, the ship split in half and sank, killing nearly everyone on board.

It is believed, at least according to myths that one of the ‘soul guardians’ decided to appear just in time for the ship to pass, poking and scraping the ship’s bottom from underneath causing it to split and sink, taking with it the lives of almost two thousand people from almost every country into the depth of the ocean.

The gods were said to be distraught at the unfolding of events surrounding promiscuity and severe drug abuse that went on inside the ship as to why it sank. Other myths suggest that it wasn’t the gods of the galaxies who caused the ship to sink, but the ‘souls’ who abused the power entrusted to them by the gods as guardians, not punishers.

Even the ‘soul guardians’ weren’t exempted from the gods’ wrath that for the next century, the gods inflicted challenges on humanity and the world as a whole. The first war of its kind erupted shortly after the sinking and a few more would follow in the next decades.

At one point many people believed that the world would end on the hundredth anniversary of its sinking, which would have been in 2012 so the world could start afresh from the greed the towering tyrants have pioneered after many incurable cancers and sexually transmitted diseases started flourishing and killing people

Climate changed dramatically and the world got warmer and warmer, and as a result, winter got shorter and shorter causing snowfall to decline and eventually, causing the ‘souls’ or icebergs to diminish in size as the warmth of the world started to gradually melt them away, believed to be a punishment for the abuse of power entrusted to them by the gods since the beginning of human civilizations.
