I was informed by one of my marine biologists that a strange patch of red sea graminoids had been found just a nautical mile away from our last expedition site. According to the scriptures on the columns we found, this plant might be the main component of the "divine elixir"! Isabelle and I will go tomorrow to grab samples for our lab.
-something to note, the columns also seem to indicate the presence of snakes, or perhaps eels, around the area. Apparently these Red graminoids are their food, but that is unconfirmed... the dive team reported seeing none.
I really like the general shape of the creature, but I think it would be a better piece if it wasn't as blurry. I think you were trying to go for an underwater feel, but something real life is not the best.
mission accomplished! much thanks
Good luck with your entry.
