Kraken: The Tentacled Silence
Before storms had names and before the first Norse keel carved a path through mist, there was only a whisper beneath the waves. The Kraken was not born - it was noticed. A vast patience stirring in the deep, a consciousness older than fjords and colder than moonlit tides. It is not rage that defines it, but silence: a long pause in the ocean’s song. To encounter the Kraken is to meet the abyss as presence, to feel time slow beneath unseen arms and understand how small a single heartbeat is against the weight of the sea.
