The giant sea creature scared them at first glance, but after observing it for a while they came to the conclusion it was benign and warm-hearted. They could never truly tame it, but the trust and friendship that formed between them was more than enough.

But of course, good things tend not to last, and soon enough the sea creature became the target of a massive hunt.
