You spy a line of humpback whales traveling in the distance. You call out to them with your animal communication magic. Whales can survive any storm; perhaps they will shelter you and Ekkel as well.
The pod of whales turns toward you. The matriarch, an old whale with a barnacle-covered hide, barks at you:
"Run. The darkness is coming!"
You try. You tighten your grip on Ekkel and try to keep up with the pod of whales. Their dark bodies surround you, like protective shadows. But the whales are fast and powerful, much faster and more powerful than you and Ekkel.
You start to fall behind.
How will you catch up?
