Kaelen squinted his eyes as the dark shapes... things? moved alongside the ship with their unsettling presence. His voice came out in a low murmur.
"What… are those things?"
There were probably dozens of them, circling the ship like predators sizing up their prey. Their movements matched the ship's pace perfectly, as if they were stalking it, waiting for an opening. Kaelen tried to push down the uneasy feeling rising in his chest.
'Surely, they're harmless right?'
The second he had the thought, one of the creatures slammed itself against the current, trying to break through, only for it to be repelled, sending the beast tumbling back into the void. But then another tried, and then another, as their attacks were growing more aggressive. Kaelen winced at the situation.
'Me and my big mouth.'
Serephira and Thane appeared from the lower deck, moving quickly as their faces were etched with concern.
"What the hell are those things?"
