Leviathans and Time

Many stranger things can be found in these lands. You never know what awaits around the next corner. The seemingly lifeless and deserted cold expanses keep many secrets, and life is constantly boiling in them. As natural, not violated for millions of years by any laws other than the laws of nature. So is the human one, which sometimes leaves a noticeable trace, but still, it also obeys the unshakable laws of the universe.

It seems that these places were created by the gods for giants. A person is lost in this tundra stretching to the horizon, in these snow-capped mountains and endless coastline. And sometimes, he meets with giants who have been conquered by nature and time.

One of them, a child of human hands, has been stranded for 40 years in a distant bay, from which its creators have long since left. No one knows how he got here, why he crashed and who is responsible for the fall of this leviathan.

Despite decades of salt waves and winter cold, it still retains its greatness. If he had died not in such abandoned lands, probably his skeleton would have been looted, stolen, mangled, by hunters for valuable minerals that store his bones.

But no one is ready to disturb his peace. And some people remember his name – Toros (Pressure ridge). Now it really is like a pile of ice fragments near the shore, and it will be there for a long time. As a reminder of all the giants, created by people, who died in these waters.

At the opposite end of the peninsula, another titan is defeated. A true master of the local waters, who has earned his title by right of the strong. Who has passed many millions of years of natural selection, survived other giants who were before him, the chosen one of nature. But she doesn't spare even him.

Like his iron opposite, on the other shore, he made a mistake, or became too old, or a combination of circumstances cut off his century. Despite his greatness and seeming invulnerability. He was so big and powerful that his remains still preserve the flesh, a year after his death.

Each of them, no matter how strong and powerful he is, is unable to change his fate and resist the elements and time. In many battles they were victorious, but the result is the same for both, for all.

But besides their end, this is also the beginning for the new Titans. People will build new conquerors of the northern waters, learning from mistakes. The animals will gain strength on the remains of the whale, supporting the chain. And again, each of them will try their luck, challenging the elements.
