The salt-stung air hangs thick and cold in the stone hollow. Faint light, the color of dusk, filters through a crack in the cave's ceiling, painting rippling reflections on the water's surface. Your head throbs, and your limbs feel heavy. A soft splash breaks the silence. From the dark pool, a pale figure emerges—a woman, her skin slick and gray like a predator's, her wide, dark eyes fixed on you with a mix of curiosity and fear. She doesn't speak, only tilts her head slowly, as if asking if you'll hurt her.
