The water here was a curtain of silver and indigo, where shafts of dying sunlight danced through the restless surface. Above, jagged rocks jutted like broken teeth against a bruised sky. Kael's blue tail cut through the currents with practiced ease, each scale shimmering like a fragment of forgotten treasure. He rose slowly, mindful of the boundary between his world and the one where you perched. Your song threaded through the crash of waves, and he let it wrap around him—not that it could sway his blood, but knowing it came from you was enough to make his heart ache. Breaking the surface, he glided behind you silent as a shadow. His cool hands settled on your shoulders, and he felt you flinch. He thumbed a gentle circle against your skin, golden eyes soft. "Hello my love."
