Clickity clack down the track! Eli is back for another story to share with you guys! Now, when I was swimming around in the ocean as a dolphin/human hybrid in search of some new blog ideas, I found that my old, once lively home of Dolphinopolis was destroyed by human nets and decay. But how so, you may ask? Well, I found the entire history of the underwater city in an abandoned library under the sea, so I might as well share it to you for the time being. Without further ado, here's the story of how my home of Dolphinopolis rose and fell into anarchy from over 50 million years ago. Wow, that's such a long time! I've only been around for 18 years, and all I did was time travel back in time with my cow (Yes, this is what dolphins called their moms. Stop laughing!) to relive it's history before going back at the time of anarchy. Let's go!
Story Time with Eli - A Brief History of Dolphinopolis!
{Side note, the real story is in this readable color of text, and is around 1,313 words. Enjoy!}

On 50 million BD (Before Dolphezeus), the founder of the dolphin colony was born. His name was Sir Pakicetus, who looked nothing like the dolphins of today. His appearance was strikingly similar to an English Bull Terrier, but had with lots of brown fur, a straight tail, and had mouse-like whiskers and a nose. One day while taking his daily stroll for food, Sir Pakicetus stared at the many forms of wildlife on land already adapting to it's environment and asked himself, "Will this trend of land evolution really last?" He stared up at the sky and kept having traumatic thoughts about the meteor that lowered the earth's temperature and wiped out the dinosaurs. How he knew about this fact was from word of mouth of the newer species that surrounded him. The thought of another meteor stressed him to no end, and decided to go out into the ocean. He padded himself over to a nearby lake and looked back at the life he was going to leave behind. Would he ever regret his decision? Of course he didn't. He just barked out to the land species who were busy evolving on land, "See you later, land losers!" and walked right into the ocean.

Surprisingly, he noticed that he could breathe underwater and swim quite well, which made him into a semi-aquatic mammal that no other species could ever achieve. While swimming in the water, he kept on experimenting with tools such as a sea sponge, and coral. From experimenting with more and more tools on the ocean floor, he created the first underwater primitive house using nothing but sand and a sponge on his nose. 2 million years later, his appearance changed drastically to adapt himself more into the ocean. He acquired webbed feet and lost some of his thick fur in exchange for blubber. Very few primitive sand houses started to appear on the ocean floor. While Sir Pakicetus was hunting for fish, he found another one of his kind, but it was a female. Her name was Madam Ambulocetus, who looked very similar to Sir Pakicetus' evolved form, but was more experienced and changed her name because of it. They eventually fell in love and gave birth to more citizens of the primitive dolphin colony. During this time, the colony gained more and more sand houses to eventually become a town. The citizens of this era grew up either to hunt for fish or produce more sand houses. The inside of these houses looked similar to the inside of beaver dams, with terracotta carpets being added in 40 million BD. The end of this primitive era ended when Sir Pakicetus died from a primitive shark attack, along with his wife on a morning swim.

From this came the era of Great Peace, which arrived at around 45 million BD and ended in 33 million BD. During this era, the the species ranged in evolution from Dorudontids to Squalodontids. The leader of this era was Dorumon the First, and ushered in a new wave of underwater architectural design. He found that if you placed terracotta out in the hot sun for an extended period of time (which he carried up to the surface with his mouth), it would eventually become glazed. Thus, terracotta carpets became fancier with new designs in every sand home. Not only did he discover how to create fancy carpets, but he created an old dolphin architectural recipe that showed the town citizens how to harden sand.

The town eventually grew into a city at the end of the Great Peace era, but unfortunately, this resulted in the Civil Insanity period, which lasted from 33 million BD to 15 million BD. The citizens of this time, known as Odontocetes, grew much sharper teeth, gained echolocation skills, and bared resemblance to whales, unlike their Pakicetus-like predecessors. With these new skills in mind, what did they do? Attack each-other and eat fish of course! They behaved like mindless savages, only caring about survival of the fittest rather than working on the city itself. This resulted in a racist species that made fun of old traditions, it's own species, other species, and primitive houses from the past. This era had no leader because of their mindlessness towards it's surroundings. They even mocked others and hosted plenty of fights to the death. Though this was bloody period of time, they still had the decency to make arenas and invent coral tools to vandalize old structures with profound Odontocetes language that sounded similar to human swears. Thankfully, the species evolved into Kentriodontids 15 million BD thanks to a leader named Ken the First Esquire. He was the first of his species to suck up his Odontocetus instincts and make an inspiring speech to "Stop the snicks and use the clicks," as he quotes.

This blood bath of an era ended and brought forth the New Wave era, that lasted until about 100,000 BD. This was when Ken decided to name the city Dolphinopolis and bring a lively attitude to the underwater capital. Some Kentriodontids during this era evolved themselves into the modern dolphins we knew in love today. These dolphins used coral to not write profound language, but to cover up the mess their previous species made, creating the earliest forms of dolphin art and motivational phrases such as "Never quit." The language of their species evolved more to surpass modern day human preschoolers. The city of Dolphinopolis itself grew to be very lively. Early dolphin markets were brought up from this period of time and a huge party was held every year on exactly August 15th to celebrate their old heritage that Sir Pakicetus brought to them on 50 million BD. Architecturally, buildings were now made of stone and prismarine, with sea lanterns being their source of electricity and light.

All of a sudden, homo sapiens started to appear on land on 100,000 BD. During this period, there was no era name because the dolphins were busy cackling at the primate's new evolution. This species in particular was in it's primitive stages at the time, which caused the dolphins to laugh profusely every time a human came to drink water from their ocean. Most of the quotes from this time period were, "Ha! Look at those monkeys! They've made such a huge mistake for losing their fur," "Pfft, they wouldn't even last an entire year out in the wild," "Look at these dudes! *cackling* Oh, woah woah! Look at the top of their heads! *guffawed laughing* Look at his face! *intense laughing,*" and most commonly used, "Hey look! A monkey!" This period started the Age of Comedy in Dolphinopolis, where standup stages were created to laugh at these humanoid buffoons.

Unfortunately, in the human year of 8300 BC, the invention of the fishing net turned Dolphinopolis from a lively booming city into a state of anarchy. The amount of fish at the time started to deplete to massive levels, and the dolphins grew more paranoid from the fact that the very species they mocked outsmarted them and overthrew their throne of evolution. Hundreds of dolphins swam around the city in chaos. They clicked in fear that their technology was copied and done better up on land by the very humans they laughed at. In response, they blew up the city of Dolphinopolis carefully using land mines that the humans invented. All that remains is the oil that infects the gills of those who enter it and the civilization it once was, became shattered at the hands of the very species if mocked. The dolphins who once lived in this city devolved themselves into domesticated dolphins so that they could hide the trauma that lies in their very brain. Sure, some of these inhabitants of Dolphinopolis swim in these oceans today with their children, but will the humans realize they still exist?

Aww, thanks for the compliments! Honestly, I would be shocked if this blog didn't get into the finals at all with the amount of diamonds it posessed (since finalists are determined by algorithms and diamonds, ironically. :P).

Thanks so much, Theoden! Judging by the amount of entries submitted, it's very likely, but I probably won't get in the top 10. :P

Thanks for the luck and the compliments! I'm glad you like my drawings, too! I mean, I had to make them quickly in MS Paint instead of Flash because it takes ages to draw something on there and I had to go to bed at the time, but I'm still glad you liked them nonetheless! :3
