ocean man - Eidiya & Aluula

It was the kind of anger that just kept cutting and cutting and it left him feeling raw and uncomfortable; a hatred stoked by sparks from a blade rather than the flames of a hearth. His taloned fingers curled sharply over his chest, resting lightly over his bloodpusher. Eidiya’s cerulean gaze fixed on the sea dweller that had seemed to teleport himself into what was essentially his backyard. Maybe having a hive so far removed from typical Trollian society that it breached the territory of tyrants was a bad call on his Ancestor’s part.
The troll crossed his arms as if to keep the harsh heat of his blooming hate from escaping into the frigid air. Oh, no. He took a staggering step back, his boot sinking into wet sand by rapidly increasing increments. Soon, he thought, he would be swallowed by the Mystery Beasts that lurked under the beach, their maws waiting for a troll of his relatively small stature to consume. At 6′4″ he stood nearly no chance of escape.
Maybe he hadn’t been noticed yet? Perhaps the sea dweller had yet to notice the way Eidiya gaped at him, teeth bared to the glistening moonlight like some hateful rainbow drinker of bygone times? Another step; this time his boot struck what was likely the bones of some smaller, weaker creature that had been spit up by the sea during its rage. The snapping crunch would have been appreciated under normal circumstances, it was a unique sound that made his long, pointed ears stand at attention. Of course, the sound carried. It became some sort of booming echo that seemed engineered to carry exactly to the sea dweller at his current position in the water.
“Damn.”
