“The elder of the bigfin squid — fewer encounters in history than fingers on your hands, twice over.”
A Silence denizen of The Unsounded
3 known connections · an open question
Fewer than two dozen encounters in all of human history. The Long-Armed is the elder of the bigfin squid — twenty-foot arms bent at strange elbows, trawling a dark that has almost never been watched. Every sighting is an event; every event is a rumor confirmed.
It trails its ancient arms through the deep currents, older than the expeditions, patient as geology. The young Bigfin of the Midnight is its junior by centuries; the elder acknowledges the junior the way mountains acknowledge hills.
Twenty sightings. The twenty-first could come tomorrow, or in another century. The Long-Armed is not waiting to be seen — it is simply being, at a scale the cameras can't quite hold.
“Twenty sightings, ever — and two of them were last month, both in the same week, both near the Sirena Deep. The Long-Armed is moving, or the cameras are finally looking in the right place, or something is drawing the elder out. The Midnight's young are taking bets. The elder is not.”
Two sightings in one week. The elder is moving.
Creatures so seldom seen they may as well be rumors. A seasonal rite — only three of each may ever exist, and most keepers will never see one twice.
