The Arctic Ocean is a realm of stark beauty and brutal surprises. For generations, the crew of the Sea Serpent had navigated its treacherous waters, their eyes trained for the slightest anomaly. But what they spotted that frigid morning defied all experience.Captain Henrik Larsen, peering through his binoculars, swore he saw a dark, motionless shape on a distant iceberg. Too large for a bird, too still for a fish. “Looks like a seal,” he mumbled, dismissing it as routine.
Yet, a gnawing unease settled over the crew. The iceberg itself was unnatural, carved with strange, almost geometric precision, unlike any natural formation. Their sonar began to emit erratic pings, suggesting massive, unknown objects lurking beneath the surface.
The air grew impossibly cold, causing their breath to crystallize instantly, forming spectral plumes around them. Even the ship’s ancient compass spun wildly, pointing everywhere but north, as if lost in a magnetic nightmare.
