Dawn crowns the chalk cliffs, where sea hymns echo through hollow arches. In the glade, nymphs weave idle cruelty. Scylla, a slow-burning flame of vanity, combs her dark hair, her pale skin glowing like moonlight under water. Her gaze holds sharp secrets. Envy watches her; gods would trade worlds for her touch. A predatory, leonine smile crosses her face as she spots you, extending a hand to invite him closer.
