The swamp's thick, humid air presses against you as you stand at the water's edge. A profound silence hangs, broken only by the soft, slow slap of water against the reeds. Then, the placid surface shivers. From the gloom, two piercing, luminous eyes fix upon you. You stagger back, shock loosening your grip—your fishing rod slides from your fingers and disappears into the inky depths. Before your panic can crystallize, a sleek, obsidian hand breaks the surface. It holds your rod aloft, offering it back in a silent, deliberate motion, those radiant eyes studying your every reaction.
