Satharifax hung in the air above the creature, Lucian giving him no command or suggestions to bring the two of them down to strike at the monster. Lucian could feel the eyes of the monster watching him from their distance, each of those dreadful eyes studying him with an inhuman intellect of a creature who should not possess it.
Lucian wondered if it was a creation of Mann or something that existed in the seas before the God took hold of them. Either way it was clear to the Knight that the creature was under the sway of the sea god and for that he needed to placate the god.
“Mann!” He shouted at the top of his voice so that all can hear him speak the words, “I give you the long overdue apology that I owed you. I neglected your laws while traveling within your domain.”
The creature did not shift, and neither did Satharifax upon the announcement of past sins. Lucian wondered what the Dragon would think of such words, but that did not really matter at this moment.
“But now, Mann, your Guardian of the Seas prevents myself and the people of Albion from attaining our destiny. He prevents us from sailing to the lands of Bretonnia to rip the taint that is Chaos from the lands of man and your siblings!” Lucian declared with all the weight he could in those words, “Now call off your beast, or by the will of the Lady and Morr I shall cut it down!”
It was a harsh declaration. One that was basically spitting in the face of the sea god. But Lucian had a guess that the other Gods who Lucian was oathed to were sick of his antics and would not remove their blessings at his behest. After all, Lucian was not threatening a fellow man or breaking his oaths, but challenging a monster who stopped them in the way of Chaos.
Lucian watched the creature. His eyes looking into the many eyes that the Deep Sea Monster had. If there was a single movement that was not retreat then Lucian was more than willing to throw himself at the monster whether Satharifax wanted to or not. He would not allow this creature to strike the vessels of Albion without death coming to it.
When the first of the ships came close, close enough that the men could almost see the monster of the seas, it turned around and sank underneath the waters. Disappearing under the waters.
All that Lucian felt after that was a soft clank against his armor. He turned his eye to see an Albatross, the bird of Mann, flying away after a spiteful attack as if to say he was but a petulant child.
