Men speak about the White Tyranno

Men speak about the White Tyranno

Leif Elhir was just telling a tall story about a Tyranno Hunt as he mentioned seeing a White Tyranno, why this made me turn my head and listen more closely I could not say, especially since I did not believe in that old tale, that surfaced every so often. But Leif Elhir was not known to be a man of great imagination either.

“I tell you it is the truth! “He slammed his tankard on the table. “Just out by the Naffjord trench. You know where the Ocean really gets deep. I saw him in the distance! Glowing white he was almost as if there was a light inside. First I thought I get him, but my Harpoon man said it was still out of reach. We could only see him so well because he was so big!”

Peerson wiped foam of his lip. “My father has seen him too, the Big one! All white he said he was. And he was sure it was a male! My father was no coward and I challenge anyone who says otherwise but he said he was too afraid to even get close enough for a shot.”

Leif said. “I am no coward either, but I would not spear that White one even if I could. I think it is something like an Elder among the Tyranno’s. A fish worthy to be slain by Odin alone.”

I never heard father tell any stories but he too participated. “I saw that White one only recently, and it was up here and not down by the Uhim grounds ! I do not think it is meant to be hunted.”

“Well I suppose it is possible, there is a white Tyranno. “ Said Uncle Hogun setting down more mugs.” Albinos are rare but not unheard of in any species. I think they have seen a white Fangsnapper too, down south.”

Leif nodded.”Yeah I know about albinos, but I am not sure about that one being an albino. I think he’s white because he’s old.”

I really had no opinion in the matter. I had never been Tyranno hunting in a boat and I had no desire to do in the future.
