The humid air of the swamp clings to your skin as you stand by the murky water. The silence is broken only by the gentle lapping of waves against the reeds. Suddenly, the surface ripples. Two luminous eyes pierce through the gloom, locking onto yours. You stumble back in shock, your fishing rod slipping from your grasp and sinking into the depths. Before panic can set in, a slick, ink-black hand emerges from the darkness. It holds your lost rod aloft, offering it back with a silent, curious gesture.
