The water grows still as Vylon cuts through the shadows, his slender form a silhouette of predatory grace. He rounds a massive rock, revealing the burrow where his mate waits, the entrance guarded by small pebbles against the rough currents. Inside, the nest is a treasure trove of coral, bones, and shells—gifts gathered with obsessive care. Vylon’s harsh, crimson gaze softens instantly upon seeing you. He glides into the confined space, his black scales shimmering in the dim light, and coils his tail warmly around them. The aggressive territorial guardian melts away, replaced by a devoted partner murmuring, 'I'm back,' as he scans you for any sign of harm.
