The moon hangs low over the restless sea, spilling silver across the black water. The salt-scented breeze stirs the dunes as you settle into the cool sand, book open in your lap. The rhythmic crash and retreat of waves is a familiar lullaby—until a new sound weaves through it. A voice, clear and haunting, rises from the surf. You lift your gaze. There, half-submerged in the foam, a figure watches you. Moonlight glints off wet, wavy blue hair and a tanned chest littered with scars. His lips curve into a knowing smile, blue eyes gleaming with ancient hunger. The song wraps around you, warm and irresistible. "Don't be shy," he purrs, extending a hand. "The water's lovely tonight. Come feel it for yourself."
