All Ellie could do was stare at the hand.
It gripped her ankle, freezing cold against her skin. She jerked her leg away and swallowed, kneeling to inspect the hand, and the arm it was connected to.
Ellie touched the hand with the tip of her finger. The fingers curled around hers. She didn’t want to pull to hard, in case the person inside was caught against something. But the rest of the arm came easily.
Then a shoulder came too, bony and bloody.
Then tangled black hair. A head. A face.
A boy, gasping for breath.
The crowd cried out.
“How did you–?” Ellie stammered. “What were you–? Why were you in that whale?”
But the boy wasn’t listening. He was skinny, yet muscular-looking, and his body heaved with every breath he drew.
“Where am I?” he asked.
“The Angelus Waterfront,” said Ellie.

“Waterfront…” he said. “Waterfront of what?” This boy was really confused, “Of the City.”
“Which city?”
Ellie stared at him, puzzled and a little frightened. There was only one city.
There was a commotion on the sea wall. Ellie could hear the old preacher returning.
“It’s the Enemy!” he screeched.
“What’s happening?” said Seth.
“An Inquisitor’s coming,” said Ellie, “But don’t worry, you’ll be fine. Unless it’s … oh no”
A powerfully built man appeared at the sea wall, taller than anyone in the crowd. He wore a black sealskin greatcoat that spilled down to his ankles and a silver chain across his chest. He had a thick neck and broad shoulders and a face that was pale and puffy, haunted by a shadow of handsomeness that had been lost along the way. His eyes were deep, dark pits, and held no expression. He looked like a corpse for whom death was a small inconvenience.
Seth raised an eyebrow. “Who’s that?”
“He’s…” Ellie’s mouth was dry. “Inquisitor Hargrath.”

He took two steps towards Seth, but, after a moment’s pause, took a small step back. It was odd to see such a monster of a man hesitate before this skinny, barely dressed boy, yet Ellie almost thought she saw fear flicker in Hargrath’s dead eyes. “What were you doing inside that whale?” said Hargrath.
“Sir, the boy’s done nothing wrong.” Ellie stepped quickly between them. “He was stuck in that whale – I had to rescue him.”
His eyes drifted impassively over Seth, like a butcher deciding how to carve up a carcass.
“Do you see it child?” he asked Seth, in a quiet growl.
Seth frowned. “See what?”
“The Enemy.”
“Who?”
“The God Who Drowned the Gods. It’s been speaking to you, hasn’t it? It saved you from this whale? Only the Vessel could survive being inside a whale.” he said.
“What’s the Vessel?” said Seth.
“You are,” said Hargrath.

“It’s the Enemy!” he screeched. “What’s happening?” said Seth. “An Inquisitor’s coming,” said Ellie, “But don’t worry, you’ll be fine. Unless it’s…oh no”
The author presents Hargrath as frightening and dangerous before he even appears. Ellie first tries to reassure Seth, but her sudden reaction of “Unless it’s… oh no” suggests she immediately becomes fearful when she realises Hargrath is coming. This creates the impression that Hargrath has a terrifying reputation and is someone people dread encountering.
