Chapter 15

Dim flickerings of faint light trickling down from so distant above dances
across the corals, stone, and sand along the ocean floor. They dance across
surfaces in this twilight bringing the promise of heat and illumination rarely
seen at this depth.

Inside echoes the roaring current, eddies, and undulations caused at the
river's mouth and a *thump* *thump* pounding out a gradually slowing rhythm.
*Thump* and a few moments later, another. The harmony of the echoing current
coincides as the distance to the river's mouth grows further and more distant.

Intertwined together, the colors shine along the rainbow reef, corals,
anemones, stars, and fish alike all existing in this paradise oblivious to the
intruder among them. Inaudible to their ears the thumping slows and
vanishes without a trace.
