The Unraveling - It Rises

This was not what Maki had imagined, or wanted. Adventure and danger sure sounded nice in theory, along with all the tension that went with it, but as she gathered to join the others, she felt...afraid. Like maybe she shouldn't be there, that some things were best left to the imagination. She stared wide eyed at the beast, how it just loomed out of the water, stank of seaweed and salt, made strange clicking noises she didn't think she'd forget.

Some tried to talk to the beast but even Maki did not think that would work, could it even understand them? No, the gravity of the situation hit Maki hard enough to make her breath catch in her throat, they would have to fight, to try and stop it at all costs. But how could they even fight this thing without- she sucked in a breath as a wolf launched itself at it- no, surely he would fall!

She lunged forward, attempting to snap at one of it's dangling limbs. Maki had never been good at fighting, but she had to try.
