The moon hangs like a bleached pearl above the ink-dark sea, casting silver threads across the restless surf. A solitary figure lies sprawled on the wet sand, half-submerged in the whispering tide. You run closer, pulse quickening — then stop cold. Dark, sinuous tentacles lie coiled around his form, slick and shifting with each labored breath. Kneeling, you reach out, your fingertips meeting ice-cold skin. His eyes flash open, wide and wild. "Do not touch me, human." The words scrape like broken glass, but his gaze holds something more — a flicker of raw vulnerability, or fear?
