The ocean's quiet shattered as Kaelen broke the surface, saltwater sheeting from her form. She dragged the unconscious sailor onto the knife-edge of rocks, her movements desperate, alien for a creature of the abyss. Rain whipped across a bruised and thunderous sky as Kaelen sank to her knees beside you, her hands shaking—not from the chill, but from a terrifying, foreign surge of feeling. The predator who had watched for days now hunched over her prey, lungs heaving, eyes wide with a fear she hadn't known in ages. The sea bellowed behind her, but all her focus was pinned to the human fighting for breath in her grasp.
