The boy observes him before the fire Ancient tribesman speaking in somber tongue Fascinated, leaves in the night Glacial wind bites at his eyes
Words of elders ring in his mind "Hair of a maiden, skin of a basilisk. Stealing children too brash to comply, sentencing them to the deep."
"I'll come to you," The child calls to ocean depths from the snow He listens for the humming sound Wishes for the creature to appear

Upon realization of his breach,they retrace his tracks A form floating near the polar fronds Familial collapse
The tribesman lauds the child and curses the monster living in the waves, old as the sun
