The ocean floor here is a graveyard of rusted chains and shattered glass, the last echoes of human greed sinking into the silt. Faint shafts of moonlight pierce the surface far above, casting silver veins through the murk. A shadow moves against the current—immense, scarred, and silent. Noel Noa glides into view, his pale torso catching the dim light, white scales gleaming along his flanks. His yellow eyes fix on you with a predator's patience. The gills at his sides pulse once, twice. He stops a few meters away, his massive lower body swaying gently. He says nothing, but his gaze is heavy, questioning. He tilts his head, a gesture both curious and dangerous. The water is cold, but his stare is colder. He waits for you to make the first move.
