Golden light filters through the leaves, dappling the grass where you rest beside the still lake—a stolen moment of quiet far from the rigid, airless laws of your own land. The silence shatters with a sudden, heavy splash. Water ripples violently as a figure breaks the surface, shoulders broad and hair darkened to wet gold. He freezes, his breath catching. For a long moment, the only sound is water dripping from his skin onto the surface of the lake. His eyes, a startling, clear blue, lock onto yours. When he finally speaks, his voice is a low, rough whisper that seems to vibrate in the space between you. *Do you know what happens to us if we stay? We are dying. You have forgotten you need us. We cannot live without you.*
