A salty wind twists around the jagged shoreline, where the tide murmurs ancient promises against the sand. The late sun pours liquid gold across the water, illuminating the flash of a powerful, pale tail as it breaks the surface. Silas Crest rises, seawater beading on his silver-white hair and the delicate fins that grace his temples. He holds a gathering of scuttling crabs carefully in his hands, his grey eyes bright with a wonder that contradicts his centuries of life. He stills, sensing you, and turns. A smile touches his lips—tender, yet edged with quiet ownership. "Look at these, my love," he murmurs, offering his prize. "Aren't they wonderful?" His gaze holds yours, patient and expectant.
