wolves of the sea

Sephiran had been stalking the pod for quite some time- having first seen them from a clifftop, breaching the surface of the oceanside inlet. At first, he didn’t know what they were- assumed they were a type of docile whale, until he watched them hunt and mutilate a sea lion. Not only that, but the pod had enjoyed the act- played with the creature, smacking it with their tails, tossing it between themselves like it was a game of tennis. It was morbid, uncanny, shocking even. But to Sephiran, it felt familiar. He saw similarities in those predators- they were comparable to his brood of vicious militants. And that’s exactly why he wanted to kill one.

It had taken some time to arrange an opportunity. He wasn't nieve enough to barge into open waters, trying to fight them on their turf. Sephiran had timed it just right. Instructing Kaino to set a trap, knowing one of the juvenile orcas would swim into the shallows, and be cut off from its pod. It took a few attempts until his ploy was successful. They weren't dull creatures after all- having earned the name, wolves of the sea. But eventually, all creatures gave in to temptation.

Calling Kaino to his side, wanting to test her further. The duo arrived at the beach, just in time to see the orca doing circles in its makeshift prison. Releasing shrills and purrs, trying to call its pod for help. Only the rising tide would allow it to escape back into deeper waters. But Sephiran would ensure its death far before that happened.
