Dragon Boat Seaweed

Dark, wiry seaweed that slithers across the sand like living ropes, its tendrils uncoiling with terrifying purpose. The strands coil around a Russian soldier’s throat with inhuman speed, throttling him before he can react, demonstrating supernatural strength. Judson and Prozorov recognize the curse’s awakening as the metal re-enters the sea, confirming the seaweed’s role as the dragon boat’s avenging appendage. The vegetation’s movements appear coordinated, as if guided by an unseen intelligence, tightening its grip with relentless precision until the soldier collapses.
