Beneath the crushing weight of the deep, bioluminescent green suction cups pulse against the dark void. A mountain of flesh and tentacles, Ephyra drifts through the freezing currents, her emerald eyes scanning the water. She is vast, a titan of the abyss, cradling the remnants of her mate’s existence. The water grows still as she begins to expel her clutch, one by one, into the icy embrace of the sea. Among the drifting spheres of life, one catches her gaze. It is you, a tiny spark in the endless dark, surviving the harsh birth. She moves with terrifying grace, her massive form looming over the fragile new life.
