Skellige believed that they could only be sharks. The thought that he would help to train someone beneath the water to become nothing more than another fish was absurd. She was correct in what she was saying, though. Grace and prowess were key beneath the churn of the water. And though he sought the fish only to fuel the fire in his gut, they too were graceful creatures. His mind and his thoughts were very different from the pale woman’s. He had known nothing but predatory nature. From birth, the dark titan had been taught that it was a dangerous world and the only way to see success was to fight for it… every inch of the way.
The girl seemed delighted by the jaunt back into the waves. She darted ahead of him somewhat and his dark gaze followed her with a sharp interest. She was still young, but her body was taking an adult shape. Skellige could see how she would grow into a beautiful adult. The thought set fire to the lining of his stomach and he felt his limbs quiver just slightly before he shook his head and moved closer to where she was.
Eyes following the sands beneath the water, he was careful enough to make sure they did not travel too far into the waves just yet. When his dark figure was beside her, he turned his head and peered directly into her emerald eyes. “Can you swim above the water?” he inquired. While it may have been a silly question, he truly did not know how much of the ocean had shaped this girl’s life. If she could not swim above, she would be no good underneath.

what would an ocean be without a monster lurking in the dark?
it would be like sleep without dreams
