His intent was to destroy the man's arm not to harm the girl. His energy, weight, and force was already in the attack there was nothing he could do to take it back. His claws sliced her flesh, like a knife to raw butter, in an instant blood streamed down her cheek his talon dip from her blood. Her cheek was thinly sliced in three parts her skin drooping down from the three perfect incisions. He was furious, his head went up and he howled with regret, and anger. His cry sent chills throughout the village, remaining animals and birds went crazy to escape, those villagers unbeknownst to what was taking place; They had taken their Water Deity's blood lust cries as a sure sign to escape the island before they too would perish.
He moaned with remorse cradling the bodies before him nudging at her frail form for any signs of life, he went out of his way to find her, not to kill her... Now he was the true beast he grew to be... Wait her chest filled with air and then fell as she breathed out. She was still alive! There was still hope! Upon further examination of the terrible marks he gave her, he had barely missed her eye and only the tips of his talons had marked her She would have scars, but if somehow he could get her somewhere else to get healed properly. She would recover!
Trying to move her seemed impossible the officially dead man kept a firm grasp on her, something Pepi would have to take care of later for now he would make due. Opening his large mouth (like an eel) around the bodies as to carry them he lifted his tongue to cushion the girl from his teeth, and carried them out to the docks. There was only one boat he had his eyes on especially noted the rest of the boats that laid at this dock previously had all been taken by the villagers to escape with; the boat was small but easier to move and the one less likely to draw attention, he was glad the villagers had left this one. He laid the two on the deck of the boat and slithered into the water tugging the boat for a couple seconds until finally the rope that tied it to the docks came loose Pepi was glad to be rid of that island. He only wanted happy days and smiles from his companion. He was underneath the boat, or should I say the boat was riding him, as the sails were not down and the water was calm, the only reason this small boat was sailing at top speed was due to the rather large water beast that laid below pushing it with all his might.
(All right I edited most of the mistakes
My phone had so many typos lol)
(sorry if I'm taking from your spot light... though your character is in Comatose with mine currently
But can we say a couple hours later of a fair pace un-altered, fog came around the small fishermen boat yadyad? That's when your other character comes in?)
