XXXXXX Octavian scrambled back and covered his face with his arms, attempting to ward off what he believed was an attack, but he blinked in surprise when a resounding thud shook the room. He lowered his arms to see the beast sinking into the water. Again he shielded himself as more splintering wood and water splashed into his face. A muffled gurgle could be heard a moment later and Octavian peeked over his arm, partially afraid that he may find himself face-to-face with a row full of sharp teeth. However, the sea creature only lifted its head a bit above the water and seemed to be surveying the damage it’d done to the ship.
XXXXX Seeing his chance to get a better look at the creature now that its focus wasn’t upon him, the man lowered his arms and leaned forward, squinting and trying to make out a solid form underneath the luminous blue shimmer that signified where the creature was in the water. While silently eyeing the elongated beast, it soon dawned on Octavian that the creature wasn’t going anywhere. This wasn’t good. It was blocking his only way out, and he needed to get back upstairs to and make it onto one of the dinghies. Octavian sighed through his nose. While the crew was probably escaping with their lives by now, he was stuck down here in the cold with a gigantic monster.
XXXXXThese thoughts were with him briefly even the sea monster gaze at him out of the corner of its eye. He would have grumbled to himself for staying put so long while it was distracted, but remained quiet as he stood up slowly as not to alarm the other occupant of the flooded cabin. He began to glance around the room in search of his sword.
