[Chaos]

The great serpent roared and shook its head, the bolts landing, but not sticking into the thick scaly hide. Its long body writhed below the waves, churning and stirring the ocean's waters. Five songbirds, too close to the beast even with their effort, became caught up in the massive waves and tides that the serpent had caused. Sounds of screaming men and splintering wood could be heard from the cacophony of water and foam. No sooner than a blink of the eye, the five ships were rendered into splinters and kindling. The great beast roared again, weathering the hails of bolts. It lashed its tail in a sweeping whip, splintering three galleys, splitting them, removing the tops from the bottoms. This time, men could be seen leaping from the wrecks, and perhaps they could be rescued. That is to say, they could have been rescued, but the serpent, seeming decided that such a rain of bolts was more trouble than to was worth, and perhaps being satisfied in its performance of destruction, dived head-first into the fray of the three wrecked galleys, staining the water red as it  made sure that there would be one in the water to tell the tale.

As it dove, it could be seen that the massive serpent only had one eye.
