Ankyra Sound i'll tell you a secret

the ebony gargoyle was yet still unfamiliar with the sea and it's ever changing tides, for he was not born to it's rolling waves or open shores. in fact, up until a few days ago, he had never seen the ocean or felt it's mighty roar. he'd heard stories of course, as many wandering yearlings did, but none quite lived up to being able to see the view for yourself.

he assumed in summer the coast would be even more appealing, easily drawing in travelers anxious to see the beauty for themselves as he himself had been. yet even still in the colder months when conditions were far from ideal, the sea seemed to lure strangers to it's sandy beaches with ease. and so, as the unfamiliar figure trudged their way along the coastline, astaroth watched from a distance with mild interest until eventually he grew bored and pulled himself forward to go cut the stranger off.
