Drak Hur, a promising young Yrm-Matsya raider, aspires to achieve the esteemed title of “Zul” at a younger age than his boyhood idol, Zul Cha’kra. Renowned for his skill in riding the great sea crabs called magnacers into battle, Drak Hur has enjoyed considerable success in his raids. However, his elders criticize his reliance on the magnacer’s size and power, noting a sacrifice in speed and agility.

Despite his achievements, Drak Hur feels constrained by the elders’ perceived jealousy, prompting him to push boundaries and seek greater glory for himself through bold and daring maneuvers. As he strives to carve his own path, Drak Hur confronts the tension between tradition and ambition within Aquillus society.
