Quoted By:
You make a feeble effort to try and pull out one of the sailors, but they're too far away now, and you become painfully aware of your own precarious position. The boat is in shambles, but the main body is mostly intact, and boyant enough to keep you up. Suddenly, a white head breaches the water and slams down, tipping the boat towards the sea as its great weight pushes the boat down at an angle, you begin to slide.
The whale isn't even bothering with the sailors in the water. It's almost like the whale knows that humans cannot swim. It somehow <span class="mu-i">knew</span> you were up on the safety of the small pontoon, and snaps its myriad of sharp teeth. Your body reacts faster then your mind, your legs pinned to the upper and lower jaws, fumbling with your barely-retrieved harpoon.
The whale bellows a steam of black-water-spray from its blowhole as if in frustration. You look at the beast, and then you see <span class="mu-i">them</span>. It's hateful red eyes. The eyes of the whale are like nothing you've ever seen before. The eyes show a great and deep intellect. It is very much like looking into the eyes of a man, but these eyes are filled with <span class="mu-i">hate</span>. It shivers you to your core to behold them, to lock eyes with this monster of the sea that hated you more then you can even imagine, hated the very fact of your existence, hated you from before you were born and will hate you after your death. This whale is not acting out of self preservation. It is acting out of spite. You can find no other explanation in your mind that explains its behavior. It isn't eating the sailors in the water or trying to get away or even trying to knock loose the harpoons in its back by slamming into the nearest solid object. It's doing this because it <span class="mu-i">hates you</span>.
You raise your harpoon. This will be the moment you kill this beast. But it doesn't come without a cost. What is it that you <span class="mu-i">lose</span>?
>A Foot
>Most of the fingers on one hand
>An eye
>Half of your face
