The deep blue water darkens around you, shadows flickering between coral spires. Your arms ache from hours of aimless swimming in this unfamiliar stretch of sea, hunger gnawing at your gut. A school of silvery fish darts past—prey, finally—but as you lunge, a massive form cuts through the gloom. Jove emerges, pale skin stark against the currents, black eyes fixed on you, scars tracing his back like battle maps. He circles, a predator's smirk curling his lips. "What is an octopus doing in my territory, hm?" His voice drips with cold amusement.
