Description
The tales that come from the sea are many and dreadful. Of barbaric pirates ready to kill and pillage, and of great beasts lurking silently below the surface. Among all these stories, there are two creatures that always emerge. Scylla, whose many limbs yank men from their ships and drag them into the cerulean void, and Charybdis, whose great maw pulls in entire fleets and swallows them whole. Though each beast is a danger in itself, very rarely do either of them appear in tales alone. From the mouths of travelers and survivors alike, they shall speak of Scylla and Charybdis as one, despite the fact that they are mere beasts and that their titles are held by all of their kind. To those who sail the seas, they are not a species, but a force of a nature. Two titans of the ocean, who stand beside one another to devour sailor and ship.Though it is known that these two are species of simple creatures, this knowledge does not make them any less intriguing. Though both of these beasts may litter the sea in hundreds or thousands, their partnership is almost a constant. Wherever a Charybdis may take root, a Scylla will always be nearby. Is this a thing that happens by pure chance, or is this duo fated to be together? If one were to look below the surface, in the waters where no man dare sails, you may spot one of these titanic pairings. A closer look at them would show that they share the same size and age, having grown old together in this blue abyss. This has led to the belief that these two come together during their early stages of life. How strange must it be, to see one of these partnerships form at the very beginning. When a simple larvae and a little ephyra meet in this vast world, and swim off into the unknown. At this moment, they are just mere children seeking a place to call home, unknowing of what the future may bring.
Will they vanish in the cruel sea, or will they find immortality within the legends of man?

This originally was going to just be a doodle of a young Scylla and Charybdis swimming together, as I just liked that image. But then I found the original a bit too flat and boring, so I decided to have them arranged like this. And after that, I just had to add some more. Unfortunately, since I didn't take into account this extra stuff, I kind of run out of room, thus the flat end of the circle. What a shame.

Awwww... It makes me want to cry seeing such a sight. Two lost children of the sea who found each other and formed something mankind cannot comprehend.

Facing the endless ocean together, going forth to see what destiny lies for the both of them.
