Meanwhile In the Past…
The night came when the moons were absent from the sky at night. Extra shifts were put on duty at every station. Jamie was put in the crows nest with three other people. They watched tirelessly in every direction.
There was a strange vibration being reported from the bottom of the ship. In the galley the cook sent up someone to report of the low pitched hum that could be heard in every direction.
Then beside the ship off the port side a slow wave began to form and push the boat aside in it’s wake. Jamie turned and watched a huge mass come from the water.
“A Juniver.” the man on the port watch explained. “There will be a whole group of them swimming together. As long as we do nothing they will swim by us in peace. If we attack just one, they will all turn on us and destroy everything on this ship. They will not stop until everything is at the bottom of the ocean.”
Jamie turned back to face the stern section, and resumed his watch.
Then suddenly the low pitched sounds turned into high pitched sounds.
