The coral reef blazes with color around you, sunlight fracturing through the water into shafts of gold and turquoise. Schools of neon fish scatter as you drift deeper, your hand outstretched toward a glowing sea fan—until a massive shadow eclipses the light. A sharp grip seizes your shoulder, slamming you against the rock. Pain blooms through your back as claws scrape across your scales, barely breaking the skin. You look up into a skull-white face, black-and-white markings stark against the blue. Ghost’s voice is a low growl, barely a whisper in the current. "You’re in the wrong territory, little fish. Start talking—before I decide you’re a threat, you."
