Sea Monsters and the Bear Next Door
By B. I. Woolet
“Man’s
destruction and bloodshed now appeared trivial and small next to these
uncontrollable beasts of nature.” – Arrows
of Darkness
From
nasty orcs and a greedy dragon in Middle Earth to fluting fauns and a brave
mouse in Narnia, fantasy worlds are full of interesting creatures! We love that
the World of Arcas is also bursting with fascinating, strange, and terrifying
creatures.
In
The Hunter, the Bear, and the Seventh
Sister, its immediately evident that Jackson has entered another realm when
the white-winged Cygnus grabs him mid-air in the bright triune sunlight and
safely lands him next to the little cabin in Starling Forest. After escaping
the talons of a freakishly large black raven, Jackson then meets Otava. He’s a
furry, talking brown bear inspired by Usra Major (the Great Bear in the night
sky) and named from the Finnish word for the constellation. Though Otava is
powerfully strong and well-armed with an arsenal of weapons, he’s also
nervously paranoid, doesn’t like change, and loves cooking even more than his
medieval artillery. Since the Big Dipper is also part of his constellation,
Otava’s favorite soup dipper likes to enter the story often as a quirky
astronomy joke on the side. He’s our
lovable, loyal, but not-so-huggable big bear friend.
In
Arrows of Darkness, we get to enjoy
the talking bear-next-door again, but massive sea monsters dive into the story
to shake things up. Cetus is the most famous and mystical watery monster in the
Kingdom of Altair. Bridled and ridden by a duo of strange river nymphs, this
translucent, whale-like creature randomly bursts through the surface and
capsizes anyone in its way. His haphazard, destructive tendencies frighten most
in Arcas from ever braving the water.
While
Cetus destroys like a raging bull, our other sea monster calculates its attack
with lust for flesh and pleasure. Minaruja is a titan terror of the Ligeian
Sea. This giant water snake (from the Hydra constellation) strikes without
warning and injects venom into its prey. One seamen describes the day that the
dreadful villain Sephdar got attacked by Minaruja and barely escaped alive:
“Minaruja’s serpent head shook him back and forth and back and forth like a
rabid dog shaking a helpless rabbit […] To thee ruins he stumbled with a black
hole in his middle and a black poison ever pumping through his veins.”
So,
if you like mystical, larger-than-life monsters and talking bears, stick around
because the World of Arcas has only begun to unleash the stellar creatures
within!
