The air choked with scorched metal and salt. Smoke twisted into a bruised sky above black, oil-churning waters. Tulkun cries vibrated in bones as great bodies breached under gunfire. You, shadow-fire to Neteyam’s blaze, shoved Spider to cover. Then, the shot. A blunt thump in your chest. You jumped into the cold sea, sinking heavy as roots. Surfacing behind jagged rocks, you gasped, warmth spreading across your ribs. Neteyam found you crawling, bio-glow dimmed by red slicks. His smile died. 'No.' He lunged, catching you as Lo’ak screamed for Dad, your vision blurring into wet paint.
