**TITLE: Doomsday Rebirth 416**
Caroline and Raven hesitated, barely grazing the surface of the colossal fish before instinctively retreating. They were acutely aware that confronting it head-on would be a grave mistake.
Who could have imagined that, after all this time, this menacing creature would materialize so far from civilization, nestled in the remote mountains?
It was at that moment that a chilling realization struck Caroline—the fish wasn’t merely vocalizing; it was unleashing a mental onslaught.
A voice, not of sound but of thought, penetrated directly into her consciousness, bypassing her ears entirely.
The fish floated with eerie grace, its tail undulating rhythmically, while its icy blue, lifeless eyes fixated on Caroline, as if she were an intriguing specimen deserving of scrutiny.
A smirk crept across Caroline’s lips, a spark of inspiration igniting within her.
She devised the perfect ruse to handle this behemoth of the deep!
Clutching her head as if in torment, she feigned distress.
Raven, ever the loyal companion, rushed to her side, concern etched across his features, even baring his teeth at the fish as if to ward it off.
Nearby, Goldy remained vigilant, her posture suggesting she was primed for an attack.
Caroline shot Raven a glance filled with urgency, “I’m fine! Let’s pretend we’re both sick!”
For a fleeting moment, Raven hesitated, then dramatically collapsed to the ground, emitting a pathetic whimper.
A bead of sweat trickled down Caroline’s brow. Okay, perhaps that was a bit excessive.
Yet, it would have to suffice. The fish, after all, didn’t seem particularly astute.
Mutations tended to inherit the traits of their progenitors, and fish were not renowned for their intellectual prowess.
Goldy observed for a moment, her understanding dawning as she slid down Caroline’s arm, coiling around her wrist and transforming back into a golden bracelet.
With a feigned weakness, Caroline turned her gaze back to the gargantuan fish in the pond. “Would you like to be my pet? Can you stop the singing? I’ll do whatever you want!”
However, this fish had also weathered the apocalypse; it wouldn’t be so easily deceived. It scrutinized Caroline with a penetrating gaze. Perhaps it was overconfident in its abilities, but eventually, it ceased its mental assault.
In a display of intimidation, it propelled itself toward the edge of the pond, leaping out of the water, and crashed its massive tail against a nearby tree with a resounding thud.
Bang! The sound echoed ominously as a tree, thick as a foot, splintered cleanly in two. Clearly, this fish was not only adept at mental manipulation; it possessed formidable physical strength as well.
Under the silvery moonlight, its tail shimmered like polished metal, a stark reminder of its raw power.
