Nighmare seals

Wading through the snow, leading the girl through the expanses of the North. Rhazien and his new little friend made their way to the most northern point of the continent. It may have been easier to take her to the shores of the Polar Sound to find their prey. But, Rhazien knew the dangers that accompanied that idea. Sephiran would want to eat her alive. His nephew was such a jealous creature. If he showed up with such a tiny, cute little girl. All hell would break loose, and Rhazien wasn’t done playing with her just yet.

And so, they ended up in the frozen expanse of open tundra. A man-made structure from the past acts as a landmark to confirm their arrival. Leading her past it, and closer to the water's edge. Rhazien suddenly stopped once the earth morphed into the ocean beneath the frozen ice. ”Right out there.” He said, motioning towards the sudden drop off of ice, which was still a good distance away. “Can you hear them?” It wasn’t the typical, seal-like bark she was meant to hear. These predators sounded quite different- vocals consisting of cricket-like thrills, cat-like hisses, and low, eerie moans.
