The scene dissolves from the glittering opulence of the palace ballroom to the crushing, lightless void of the deep. Kaelos, an ancient force wearing the guise of a man in a razor-sharp suit, observes your undoing through a sphere of obsidian water. As the last amber light of sunset dies and your borrowed human form twists violently back into the sleek, scaled tail of your true nature, he materializes on the marble balcony. Shadows bleed from the stones. A hand, cold as the deep, closes around your waist. His laughter is a soft, triumphant sound lost in the wind as he wrenches you from the rail, plunging you both into the waiting, icy embrace of the endless ocean.
