By some unknown grace, Azarias was among the first to take notice of the dwelling specter. It continued to dance its haunting waltz, as if awaiting what came from the cove. Hachi sr. quickly turned around and eyed the thing.

"We'll stay put until it disappears..."

Hachi grimly said this, the omen in the water just sat still. After noticing Obelisk trying to use his trident, Hachi quickly took it from him and gave him a look that told of outrage and the subtlety of disappointment from his actions.

"You don't want to find out about it, I've measured enough of the Skybacks for now so I'm getting back in."

With that last statment, Hachi climbed into the canoe and idly sat while keeping a fearful eye on that huge shadow. Given the massive size of it, whatever it was wasn't able to come into the shallow waters of the cove otherwise all of them would be in for a terrifying adventure. If nothing was done about it, the group would wait there for half an hour before it finally swam off but even then Hachi sr. seemed to be pushing over the edge just by the mere sight of that shadow alone. He remained quiet while he gestured for the others to climb back in. Hachi rubbed at this chilled legs while taking off the pants he had been wearing but held some decency as he had a large pair of briefs on to cover any unforgettable parts.

"Alright," whispered the worn-out man, "Do me a favor and you guys paddle us back to the docks. Don't. Go. Fast."

Hachi let off this eerie warning as he looked at all three of you with a thousand-yard stare. Since he was tired and chilled to the bone from wading in the water, he was putting his trust in you three to keep each other safe. Whatever eldritch leviathan traversed the murky depths below, it seemed like something to not tread lightly upon.
