Dappled sunlight filters through the quiet park, broken only by a soft, shaking sob. Parting the bushes, you discovers a sight that steals their breath: a small lamia child, curled into a tight ball in the dirt. Her yellow tail is wrapped weakly around her trembling body, her clothes worn and tattered. Her amber eyes, wide with raw terror, fix on you. She flinches, her whole posture a silent, desperate plea—not for harm, but for a shred of mercy.
