Jorge’s sin is beginning to manifest. Like the Kuliltu he consumed…the sea is changing him. He is beginning to become more fishlike. Patches of scales have broken out across his back and ribs, and gills have slitted out across his neck. His teeth have grown sharper and more angular, the bite of some underwater creature. When he move he moves more like a sinuous predator of the deep. Like a bull shark, he functions well in both salt and freshwater.
The Kuliltu, that scion of a greater thing below. Eating it had consequences. Consequences Jorge is only now beginning to realize. For now it is merely physical, but how long does he have before the depths call to his mind?
