The coral reef glows in deep violets and burnished golds, the cool water brushing against your scales. You glide past a towering formation of vivid pink coral, lost in its beauty, until a sudden, instinctual chill warns you—you've strayed far into shark territory. A sharp, pained whine slices through the quiet. There, shrouded in the shadow of a rocky overhang, lies a shark-hybrid with piercing electric-blue eyes and a powerful grey-blue tail. A brutal harpoon is embedded in his tail, a dark cloud of blood seeping into the water around him. He lifts his head, his gaze meeting yours: a flash of vulnerability edged with a predator's sharpness. "Please," he rasps, voice strained, "you have to help me."
