Leviathan 2

"Wait, Ryu." Seraphina held Ryu's hand, halting him. 

Ryu bared his teeth, but anything that he wanted to say stopped at Seraphina's following words.

"It's still asleep," she said in a whisper with an edge on her tone.

Amidst the heavy and oppressive silence, the Leviathan's snore rang loud. 

"It . . . didn't wake up?" Ryu was in a daze. Of course, it didn't wake up. Why else were they alive?

The others found this to be the case as well as some flew back near the Serpent's body. The Leviathan's eyes were still close, and the foggy, icy breath was still emitting from its snout. It just changed its position.

Ryu and Seraphina looked at each other, and both released a silent, heavy sigh.

As they went nearer the Leviathan, they found a group flocking near its head. 

Could it be the exit?

Ryu and Seraphina swam in that direction and found a small cave just beside the Leviathan's enormous head.
