Night Terror communicated with Black Mamba through a series of sharp gaze.
There were too many of them to fight outright, but they needed to assess the threat before making a move.
They moved closer to one of the larger shapes, a massive creature far larger than the one Jeci had fought, that dwarfed even the ship above.
It was covered in scales that glistened with an unnatural light, and its eyes glowed a deep, ominous red.
Before they could react, the creature let out a low, rumbling growl that reverberated through the water.
The sound was a warning, a territorial claim that sent smaller creatures scurrying away even though they had the same agenda—moving towards the ship.
Night Terror and Black Mamba held their ground, but they knew they were at a disadvantage.
This creature was ancient, and its power radiated through the ocean like a pulse.
