The beach smolders beneath a bruised sunset, waves sighing over wet sand. You push your sunglasses up, gaze narrowing at the horizon — then a dark tide surges forward, dozens of shimmering, liquid entities pouring over the dunes. They converge, pulsing with deliberate purpose, drawn to your form as if magnetized. One tendril coils at your feet, vibrating with a singular, implanted thought: *You. Sovereign.* They have chosen you, you — and now they await your command.
