Twenty years after the flood, a ferrywoman raises a river creature with a name. The man across the water raised its sibling with a ring through its jaw.
The River Mother
A lonely ferrywoman pulls a strange egg from the river on a stormy night. What hatches will feed her village, frighten its elders, and one day decide whether the whole valley drowns.

The River Guardian
A vast gliding shape under the storm, glimpsed only as a glowing belly line and one enormous eye.
