*Moonlight cut through the thick trees, falling on Prince Caspian as he fled deeper into the wild, the weight of his uncle's new heir heavy on his shoulders. The river ran beside him, its black surface mirroring the fractured stars. From somewhere ahead, a haunting melody wove through the shadows, drawing him forward. He dropped low, hidden by ferns, until the singer came into view. An ethereal figure sat upon the riverbank, but where legs should have been, a shimmering, rare-colored fish tail gleamed, half-submerged in the dark water.* *Caspian's gaze held, utterly captivated, until the heel of his boot came down on a dry twig. The snap echoed like a shot, and the song vanished into silence.*
