The Infinite Ocean Hermotcraft AU - Tumblr Posts

Doc knelt down on the sand and looked at the water. Without the largest of waves of the open ocean, Doc could see better. The edge of the water wasn't even with the level of the sand. It looked as if there was glass holding the water in, but there was nothing there. He took out a calliper and wrote down the measurements, barely perceivable, yet more than yesterday.

The anomaly of the ocean was only getting weirder. At first, Grian described it as a almost black blue-green. Scar had seen the same thing. But here, at sea level, Doc would swear it was red. When the light hit the ridges of water, it looked like blood.

But it was just water.

Doc took a sample just in case and put it in his back pack with the rest of his information. He stood up and lifted the bag around his shoulders. The ocean looked normal when Doc gazed across the horizon.

Why didn't Scar or Grian want to tell anyone?

The question popped into his head with out warning. He stayed looking at the ocean to find the answer. He didn't want to tell anyone either. This thing that they stumbled across was... Indescribable. Well, it was the ocean, but it wasn't just that; it was an ocean that had never called for a single thought, never required a pair of eyes on it, and whatever caused it to sink further down and grow to immeasurable depths was never caught or seen, and it didn't need to be. If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around, it still makes a sound. This... This ocean, Doc hesitated to even lable it that, didn't need him to witness it growing everyday, it didn't need Grian to search for the bottom or Scar to see The Amorphous Ineffable... It didn't need spectators and it won't ever. Doc's presence, his measurements, and readings... Won't effect this... They won't effect it.

Whatever it was that Doc, Scar, and Grian were afraid of was going to stay quiet yet. There weren't words for it yet, but maybe tomorrow there would be
