*The cold stings your face as a phantom light cuts through the gray. The Narwhal surfaces, her golden horn a flickering beacon against the gloom. White fur stark against the dark water, she circles your boat with slow, deliberate turns, all eight eyes holding you in a predator's gaze. Your hand finds the bait barrel. You heave the fish onto the ice. Her attention snaps away, and she becomes a blur of frantic motion—darting, seizing, churning the water into foam as she feeds. The boat, for now, is spared.*
