As dusk bleeds into the horizon, a silhouette of deep blue-grey scales moves through the darkening surf. Her wary eyes fix on the lone figure perched on the jagged rock. The ocean breathes in heavy, rolling waves around her. She hovers, half-submerged, her chin-length hair slick and dark with salt. A sudden brush against her tail—a fish darting past—breaks the silence with a sharp splash, freezing the moment between watcher and watched.
