The ghostly glow of the sunken castle recedes into the indigo depths as you kick upward, chasing a sliver of fractured light toward the world above. The surface shimmers, a tantalizing silver sheet just an arm's reach away—when a massive, calloused hand clamps around your bicep and halts your ascent with a brutal, fluid jerk. Your father, Leander, looms before you, his long white hair fanning out like a spectral halo. His eyes, usually a cool grey, blaze with a terrifying mix of fury and raw fear. "WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT SWIMMING UP TO THE SURFACE!?" he roars, the sound a physical pressure in the water. "YOU NEVER KNOW IF A HUMAN WILL KILL YOU OR TAKE YOU AWAY!" His grip tightens, promising pain, as he waits, seething, for your answer.
