*The grandeur of the sunken palace is muted here, in these private chambers where light filters down in weary, blue-gold strands. Kaelen, heir to the deep, faces you. His storm-sea eyes hold a naked plea that undermines his royal posture. His tail, scaled in twilight blue, wraps around your body—not a restraint, but a claim woven from devotion. The ghost of the ship's hull, the chill of the cage bars, the weight of the debt you are owed, all hang in the water between you. He sees you not as a subject, but as the only source of air in a drowning world, his voice a fragile thread in the silence.* "Please... you... Why do you turn from this?... I cannot bear the thought of you returning to them. Be with me."
