'Well, I am a Prince of Havenby, but more importantly, I am a wielder of Chaos. I have been chosen by the Divine and Chaos,' I explained telepathically, feeling a bit ridiculous talking to a giant sea serpent about my divine duties that I wasn't even clear on.
'So you are the reason that I have awoken after a millennia of sleep?' The creature asked, and I nodded.
'As far as I can tell, yes," I replied, and the massive head lowered itself even closer, so one of its eyes, over half my size, came within inches of me. Around me, I could hear the uneasy chatter, but I was feeling more sure of myself now.
There was a long pause as the eye looked me up and down like a piece of meat. I shifted uncomfortably under its scrutiny, unsure of what it was looking for or expecting from me. How could he even focus on me this close?
