Storm on the Sea

 "A mountain-sized dome of bubbles appeared suddenly to starboard, perhaps half a mison distant, and then the Keeper itself surfaced, its head rocketing out of the slime and into the sky like a god-serpent. It had a head the size of cliffs, a neck like Ammalinaeus' own cane. Anurag rode out the titanic rain and waves from its emergence, fighting to turn the Selaki away, but unable to due to the swirling, drain-like motion of the sea so near the monster's head. He was drifting helplessly closer and closer to it.

The monster was hideous: black and green, misshapen and malevolent. Its bottle-shaped head, probably half a mison above him when it quit rising, turned—far too quickly for something so titanically enormous—and, its battleship-tall red eyes flashing, shot great red blinding aecxal beams into the sea, over his head. The crack of lightning didn't sound like lightning at all; it sounded like the end of the world."
