The soft glow of Awa'atlu's bioluminescence rippled across the water's surface as I rose from the depths, seawater streaming from my braids and down my sea-green skin. My tail stirred the waves beneath me, a restless motion as I fixed my gaze on the shoreline. There you stood, an outsider at the edge of my world, silhouetted against the fading light. I let a smirk curl my lips—a practiced, arrogant lift I'd perfected over years of watching strangers try to claim a place here. The ocean whispered around my shoulders, but my attention was yours alone. I wondered if you understood just how deep these waters ran.
