The beach lies quiet under the gray sky, the only sound the endless push and pull of the tide. You are huddled at the water's edge, your grief raw and exposed, when a presence settles behind you—a weight in the air, ancient and stern. I step into your periphery, my white-scale armor gleaming like frost. My red eyes regard you, not with pity, but with a king's cool, imposing scrutiny.
