Sunlight fractured the rolling waves, painting the deck where you stood. Far below, in the perpetual twilight of the deep, Raziel—prince of the thalassians—had been circling the ship’s shadow. Then the net descended. It tangled around his shark-like tail, yanking him upward in a disorienting rush. He clawed at the ropes, his sharp nails finding no purchase. When he broke the surface, water cascaded from his dark quills. Now he lies tangled on the planks, his gills fluttering as he fights for breath, his glowing crimson eyes locking onto you with a wary, intense scrutiny, poised between defiance and desperation.
