Bones tumbled out across the deck—ribs, jaws, but not human or fish. Some were translucent. Others shimmered as if dipped in oil. Then a lump slid from the mangled trawl—wet and glistening. A shape. Humanoid. Naked. Breathing.

Sensing time may be shorter than they realized the pair picked up the pace, crate in hand. The ground rumbled and the water bubbled, a giant claw emerged from the water, and then another. Thick trails of slime oozed down the forearm and a long scaly snout displaced the water. Like the smaller versions, this abomination had a long bone horn in the middle of its head. Rows and rows of yellow warped teeth greeted them in anger. The narrow pupils eyed them with suspicion and contempt. Aurelia knelt next to the crate and grabbed the flint and steel. "Keep it busy," She whispered. Despite the fuel on the rag, the moisture in the air made it difficult to light the rag, "How much longer Zinjo shoute

The harbour surface buckled into a diesel-sheened churn. Gallus surged up through foam and floodlight—wet mass and plated hide forcing water aside by sheer displacement. A wolf-beaked head snapped once, hooked beak slick with runoff. Beneath it, a mantle of tentacles unrolled, each ending in a circular mouth lined with needle teeth. The water broke into uneven chop, slapping the seawall in irregular surges. He hit the Opera House breakwater with a concussive impact that shattered glass.

Nevena asked, and Antonio nodded in affirmation. “You’re on a tour.

That will be a surprise for when the Red One arrives. I continue barking out orders, directing acolytes and warriors to prepare the scene for the Crones’ arrival, as well as for the creatures that will come after to clean up. The rougarou. Madame Marie Delphine LaLaurie. The Honey Island Swamp Monster. The Grunch. Flatboat Annie. Letiche. All of them will take their share of the sacrifices.

The Halflings were ambushed and outnumbered by the creatures revealed as snake-like hybrids, with slimy green scales peaking out from their faux human forms. Their eyes glowed the same yellow hue followed by secretive hissings in the air. "Serpentine." Kairos silently gaunted. "And they're a lot of them too. Roughly 10 at least." Shawn growled, his nose scrunched from the putrid smell of their slimy skins. "What did you do to Zack, Maddie, and Dorian?"

'They didn't know nothing' she thought A tension ensued as they waited for the guy's confirmation before . "it's a virus! It's taken my data base down!!" ...and in that moment, came a chaos!
