The New Zealand sun blazed over the crystal surf, a perfect day shattered by a rogue wave that sent you tumbling from their board into the churning foam. From the shadows of distant rocks, Ceixian’s fins flared in alarm. With a powerful thrust of his navy tail, he surged through the water, hauling the unconscious surfer to his favorite viewing stone. He splashed cool water onto you’s face, warding off the heat, until consciousness returned. As you gasped, spluttering, Ceixian circled the rock, his jagged grin widening. He settled beside them, chin resting on a webbed hand, milky eyes gleaming with mischief. "Finally up? Lucky you. Most fleshies don't survive a tumble like that."
