Things were always noisier in the warmer months, the creatures on the shore doing their level best to interrupt whatever rest and feeding the eel tried to achieve with their scuttling and chatter. Today though, the eel had slipped close enough to shore to hear something different. Repeated...

The eel loath to give up the shallows to the land dwellers but surely as the sun's warmth began to wane so did it herald their return. The eel had been basking closer to the shore than it should have been this time of year, entire body tensing when something splashed nearby. It followed the...

The eel stilled at the sound of a distance splash, turning idly towards the sound. Staying close to the lakebed, it wound itself closer to the shore.

The eel lurked quietly in the depths, ripples glistening from its back as it cut through the dark water. Close, but never too close to the shore.

The arrival of the warmer months was always a welcome one, the eel waking slowly but surely from its long sleep in the depths of the lake. But Spring also meant the end to the blessed quiet as the shore dwellers also returned, as sure as the sun rising. The eel had been stretching out as it...

It wouldn't be much longer before the warm season was over, but for now the eel would enjoy what little time could basking in the shallows. It was certain it seemed like the shore-dwellers were noisier than usual today and it slunk back in the mud, flicking its tail restlessly and watching the...

The days were getting colder. Colder and shorter. There was little time for basking before the sun would shift too far away and eel could tell the time was coming for it to begin to sleep. It was always quietest in the colder months and the eel craved the silence from those on the shore. It had...

The eel had never heard a noise like this. The deep water muddied the sound, but it still drifted downwards and stirred the eel from its evening slumber. Rising to the surface, it chased the noise to the surface, barely breaching the surface as the sound came into sharp relief. It was enchanting...

The winter months were hard. It was cold and the sun was away for long periods of time. But in the cool darkness, it was quiet. The shore-dwellers were not around much in the winter, and the eel was free to do as it saw fit without distraction. Now, the sun was coming back and the lake was...

There had been splashing. A lot of splashing in the lake. There was often splashing once the shore-dwellers returned, but the eel could tell this was made by something small and delicious. Something the eel could probably get away with eating. It drifted closer to the shore, the water rippling...

The weather was still warm and the eel had been lurking in shallower waters to bask. The sound of splashing drew its attention and the eel slunk back, its large body causing waves to lap the shore as it soundless slipped back into the deep water and out of sight.

Things had been quiet for a long time, the eel enjoying the silence the descended over the lake in Winter despite the chill that came with it. But, as always when the air began to warm again, so did the noise and activity on the shores. The land-dwellers were slowly returning, and so soon the...

The lake was cold. The lake was always cold but the days were growing shorter and the sunlight weaker with it. The eel had taken to basking closer to the surface as the cold months themselves drew closer, content in its safety from its sheer size. Let its brethren wallow in the crevices and...

It was warm here, up near the surface and the eel basked in the rays of light filtering through the water. It didn't dare stray too close to the shores now that it had awoken, well aware of the constant rumble of feet and stones and noise from the creatures on land, but it would spend time here...

The weather was warm today, though the eel could feel the seasons would soon change. It had been basking, closer to the shore than usual, enjoying the sun after its long, deep sleep. Sometimes, the eel missed the peace of its slumber, as there was so much activity from the land dwellers today it...

The eel had been sleeping for so long, deep, deep down in the lake where even the merfolk did not bother it. But the eel had slept long enough. It swam languidly through the water, enjoying the stray beams of sunlight drifting down from below, opening its mouth in a long, languid stretch. The...
