Sand Castle King (Contest Skin)

Seated proudly on his clam shell throne The Sand Castle King looks far across the sandy territory he rules deep beneath the ocean waves, watching over the creatures and plants that inhabit his kingdom. His seaweed beard floats lightly around his face while tiny fish swim amongst it like children playing Hide and Seek. Crustaceans and coral are hard at work building up his reef home piece by piece, while entertaining anemones frolic in the waves filling their world with colour, each member doing its part to make a happy community.

He is a small king (shown actual size in 3D viewer) but an honourable king and during times of peace he is able to enjoy the beauty and calm of the deep blue sea and the underwater world he calls home.

Suddenly, the bellow of the hermit crab horns sound out across the kingdom and The Sand Castle King leaps out of his throne. He takes his pearl crowned helmet and places it on his head, drapes his driftwood cape around his shoulders and straps down his turtle shell armour because the human giants have broken the treaty once again and the time for battle is at hand.

With twig sword at the ready The Sand Castle King rallies his forces, mounting up on their seahorses and races quickly for the coast. Reports have come in that yet again the overconfident humans have started building fortresses on the coast line. It has been 5 days since they last tried to make inroads into The King’s ocean domain by building castles and forts along the beach border and it appears they are at it again.

Charging out of the ocean surf The King and his mighty army march across the sandy beaches and storm the human sand castle with a fury never seen before. There is little to no resistance from the human giants, knowing full well that The Sand Castle King and his army are a force of legend, their story being told across the seven seas.

The King is quick to take control of the castle, setting up defences along the wall and putting lookouts in the spires and turrets so they are ready to repel any assaults that the giants may make to reclaim what they have lost. Sometimes the humans will regroup and attack, crushing their fortresses under their own feet to stop the king from securing a foothold in their territory but most will just abandon them, fearful of The Sand Castle King’s might!

With the sun dropping down on the horizon and the human giants retreating from the coast and heading home The King gives the order to start tearing down the castle. He has no intention of taking over the human’s territory it is far too chaotic and war torn for him to try and put right. Instead, he destroys each castle and fortress that he seizes and then returns to the safety of his ocean home.

It has been a hard day’s battle defending his kingdom and securing the balance between the land and the sea and he's glad to be heading home but as his feet touch the waters edge he somberly looks back over his shoulder at the ruins of the once great stronghold and knows that tomorrow the battle continues…
