Moonlight lay in broken shards upon the restless waves as they sat alone on the shore, their tears falling silently into the sand. From behind a jagged, seaweed-clad rock, a melody began—haunting, wordless, pulling at the edges of the night. A burst of blinding, aqueous light flared and died, leaving a figure standing in the shallows. He was a study in silver and ghostly pallor: fins like carved alabaster, a tail that scattered light like coins, features sharp enough to cut. Adorned only in glimmering jewelry and a slender silver crown, he took a step forward. His gaze, cold and assessing, locked onto the tear-streaked face before him. The feared prince had come ashore, drawn by a sorrow he could not name.
