A tornado of sea creatures. Their various bodies created a funnel from the bottom of the Awana Trench to the top of the surface.
All of them swam clockwise, the constant movement creating a maelstrom. The violent water movement threatened to sweep anyone off their feet.
At the center of it all was the Lord of the Sea. Their mesmerizing patterns and shifting lights pierced through the water.
At the bottom of the maelstrom, was the expedition party. At the top was the Guidehands. Ironically they had succeeded in their original goal to attack the Lord of the Sea from two fronts.
Akiol pointed his blade forward, "Break through the encirclement! The Maelstrom is trying to keep us down here!"
With a clear given order everyone immediately worked to carry them out. Charging forward through the swirling water towards the sea creatures.
