Valeria stood inside the golden airlock. The transparent wall of magic showed her exactly what was happening in the abyssal darkness just a few hundred yards away. She saw the flash of Caspian's trident. She saw the terrifying coordination of the Leviathan pack. And then she saw the alpha strike.
The massive, armored head of the beast slammed into Caspian. The physical shockwave of the blow rippled through the heavy water and vibrated against the golden glass of her sanctuary. She watched the Shark Prince lose his grip on his weapon. She watched his muscular body go limp and begin to tumble downward into the freezing black depths.
He was sinking.
