While taking my partner on a romantic walk along the Christchurch beaches, I spotted a group of young Wesen on the shore with surfboards in hand. There were three in total, and all of different though similar species. My partner, who knows about my bloodline, understood my desire to study them acting naturally and left me to observe while he got food.

The first, the smallest of the three, was a gleaming white with a fatty beak like formation around the mouth and a large fatty lump on the forehead. I could hear him from my spot some meters away, and his voice was like a canary chirping as he laughed with his friends.

The second was taller and better built with black skin. Two large white ovals surrounded his eyes like that of and Orca, and I deduced he must be a Wildewal, like my mother had told me she had seen in Australia some years back. That revelation was enough to urge me to keep my distance, as they're known to be savage when threatened.

The final boy was massive, over two meters tall. His skin was a pale blue and he had a visible baleen from his lower jaw to his navel. His look reminded me of illustrations I have seen depicting Blar Risastor, and given their rarity I'm lucky to see one.

All three of the boys had small dorsal fin-like protrusions on their backs and similar formations on their upper arms. Though I was at a distance I could see their fingers and toes had merged into flipper like appendages. If my information is correct regarding the Wildewal and Blar Risastor, all three would have had a blowhole at the nape of the neck.

My observations ended when my partner came back with ice-cream and we continued our walk. Returning home, a quick research session confirmed the first boy as a Hvitur Hvalur, a Wesen with similarities to the Beluga whale.
