The Cry in the Water Part 8. Top Story - October 2025.
It had been waiting for them. Quietly, patiently, waiting for them. In a moment of retrospect, Jayr realized that it had probably been there for the last few minutes or more after locating their foot falls or the sounds of their voices. The creature was intelligent, cunning and beyond subtle when it wanted to be. Only now that it had been revealed, did the creature allow the translucent nature of its scales to regain their original color. A dark black shade, polished surface like obsidian, covered the creature entirely.

Cry in the Water Part 7
The three stood there breathing hard, the only light in the hall coming down from slit windows, filtering thorough the dust they had kicked up in the rush of feet, looking like long gently draped curtains whispering against the floor. Looking beyond, they could vaguely see the long shape of a table, and benches on either side. Above, fragments of old tapestry that lined the walls wavered gently on softly moving air, their tattered remains hanging by threads through the long years.

Cry in the Water Part 5
"Oh no it's not!" cried Zena, as another blow fell upon the iron shod doors. She held her thin blade sword, alight now with dripping fire, and waited for the creaking timbers to recoil after the attack. She had seen the space between the doors widen as the great body outside pressed hard against them with its full weight. In one fluid movement, she struck her weapon right through the gap like a striking serpent, a swift stroke and retreat before the gap closed. So fast there was a moment of silence before a shriek rang out from the other side as the wound was felt.
