As a young adult of no more than 30 turns he recognized Tidepool, a youth of barely 18 turns. She was headstrong, independant, and she hated to be denied anything. This brought about her death, and changed the young Reef forever.

        Reports had come in from scouts that a pack of many teeth (sharks) were in a frenzy and most of the wavedancer pod was sent to see if they could be driven off. All elves were to return to the holt save two or three of the scouts who would stay with the dolphins and report how things were going. Tidepool didn't like the idea that she would be left out of fighting the many teeth. In truth she was the only elf in that battle and she felt satisfied that the tribe would consider her a hero and treat her as an adult. But in her overconfidence at slicing off a large part of one fin from an attacking shark she lost track of where she was within the the melee. The shark turned on her and clamped sharp teeth into her body killing the growing cub instantly. Her send echoed through the minds of the holt and Reef raged within the caverns as he felt the death of his child and moments later the death of Tidepool. He blamed her age and her independent streak for the deaths.. blamed HER.

        In turns that followed he never stopped searching for that shark with half the left fin missing. When he found it he and some of the other hunters tracked it and killed it. Undertow dealt the killing strike and wears many of the teeth as a necklet. Other hunters took teeth as well, and other trophies.
