Thalassa
You could do anything,
if you only dared.
if you only dared.
Although Talyson was more than strong enough, apparently the particular line he pulled on wasn't. With a resounding 'snap', the line broke apart at the railing, falling into the churning water below. A loud curse burst from Thal's lips as she rushed forward to grab the second line the crew had thrown over. The greedy delphinid had decided to take all of their bait, snagging on a few of the other cords.
As Maea slashed her leg, the bloodbane magic effectively found its target. Thanks to her attack, the storms began to dissipate and Thal felt the resistance decrease enough to begin reeling in the creature. The winds still raged, but they no longer tugged at the sails. The waters calmed enough for the crew to release their vice grips on whatever anchor they'd found. Even the rain lessened to a light drizzle, the mist parting enough for a shimmering of sunlight to slip through. It felt as if everything might be over.
Except that they now had a living, breathing Enshadowed Delphinid slipping over the railing and onto the deck.
Its slimy black exterior seemed like it should glisten in the filtered light, yet it couldn't. Each particle was absorbed into the darkness, leaving a void of visibility. The inky figure wiggled and slid across the deck wood. It wouldn't stay out for long. Keeping a hold on the line in case it attempted to escape, Thal motioned for the others to finish the job.
Round 4: The Enshadowed Delphinid has been pulled aboard! Finish it off!

And deep down, you know it too.
That’s what scares you most.
