POV Satsui
The whale was heading towards the ship as soon as we realized that we had all created chains made out of aura and used them to spear the whale and engage in yet another impossible tug of war with the beast.
"I'll take care of the signal! Keep doing your best." Gale shouted as he jumped off Forren's shoulders and cast two spells at the same time, one to make some platforms to make it easier for us to stand in the middle of nowhere, and then to make a giant pillar of flames with his magic.
It was a useless effort, as the whale was easily able to drag the platforms along with us. Since there wasn't the resistance put up by the many other harpoons like before, our efforts were meaningless, and we only barely managed to slow it down. At around thirty meters away from the ship, the creature began to dive underwater, dragging us along with it, and as it was about to crush it from underneath, it sensed something and changed direction.
