I, Serpent

Thomas finally took hold of the barrel.The beast glared at Thomas as they were pulled out to sea. Tom took one last look at Lady Luck and pirate Pete as he was washed away by the tides.
After Hours of battery the waves stopped.The sea, and the leviathan were both calm.
“Hey, You.”
Tom looked around to see who called to him, but he only saw the serpent.
“Hey, you!”
That blasted voice resounded again. Tom was sure that the voice couldn’t be real, the attack by the monster must have driven him insane.
“Hey, you! I’m over here, stop ignoring me!”
Thomas once again stared dumbfounded in awe.Quivering he let out a simple:
“H-h-hello”
The serpent was bleeding profusely and breathing heavily. The enormous leviathan began to spew even more blood from his gullet as he spoke.
“Pirate, I am dying. I have alot to say before I leave this world, so listen up.”
Thomas gave a simple nod. Before he could finish a second nod the serpent bellowed.
“I’ll explain how I can speak later, now just listen closely to what I say.”
