"And, then, amidst the haze and spray that encircled the boy, female forms slowly began to rise, in perfect synchronicity, from out of the foaming sea. Flowing, swirling hair, followed by angelic faces, fashioned with striking features, were trailed by trimmed, sinewy, panther-like bodies. The alluring predators from the ocean depths situated themselves upon exposed rocks, seemingly casual and carefree, yet lingering with rabid, ravenous appetites. Perilous eyes, from half-turned heads, passed dispassionate sideway glances toward the startled spectator; disinterested cobra stares still deadly dangerous."
