And I am the devil that you forgot -
thoomp-thoomp. thoomp-thoomp. thoomp-thoomp.
the sound of his own heart woke him from his slumber on the ocean floor. dark green eyes snapping open as a low growl sends bubbles to the surface far above. his eyes took some time to focus in the dim light around him. once they did he would notice something. the world around him was much different than before he went to sleep.
the fact that the reef had grown in around him. even upon his on body as if he was never alive. how long had he been asleep? such an important question, but one he spent little time investigating. his focus on the screaming hunger he felt in his belly. the beast watched fish darting away as the bubbles rose under them.
to small.
the male was starving and he knew he needed to move. the coral cracking and crumbling around him. he needed to be free of his ocean tomb. twenty foot body unfurling slowly as he moved to the surface like a snake. gliding through the water with grace and power. he needed air first, then he could hunt for something more suitable. something larger and more filling.
he was not used to these strange creatures in the slightest. where were the giant reptiles and sharks? his normal food sources that brought him pleasure to rip appart? he wished he understood how long he had been out. resting on that cold sandy floor after that duel to the death. it would seem he won at the very least.
feed.
his mind screamed as the hunger set in. one last motion of his serpant like frame and he was there. his nostrels poked out of the waves and he exhailed. mist blowing into the sky before he inhailed and dove back under the water. body propelling through the waves for the food his mind called out for. then he heard the sound of something familiar, but not at the same time.
it was the sounds of dolphins nearby the male caused a slight pause. he let his body sink to the sands under him. he waited for them to appear and then he lurched after them. maw nashing until the blood filled the ocean around him. squeaking and clicking. slick bodies darting this way and that in a panic. by the time the water cleared, he was swimming away with the now dead dolphin in maw.
the serpant like dragon moved until he was in shallow water. his body slowly sank to the sands, but his ten foot tall self stuck out above the waves still. dropping the dolphin onto the surface of the water, he would begin his meal. he would feast on his prize until there was nothing left to show the dolphin had ever been there. he was full and he was pleased. now to solve his next problem.
what woke him?
this troubled him, but he did not have much to go on. outside a strange smell of rot on the winds. that smell brought him into motion once more. the male swished through the water once more until he had entered the river. swimming just below the waters surface as he moved towards some unknown destination.
from time to time, his head would raise above the wave to scent the air. body moving through the rive until he was surrounded by the scent. he swam in a tight circle, coiling his frame on the river bed. head raising back up to break the surface again. eyes seeking something, but alas he found..
nothing?!
eyes narrowed, he would lower his head back under the water. not knowing that someone, or something, had already seen him there.
