The ocean holds its breath. Below the sunlit surface, in the blue silence, you glide—a predator shaped by nightmare and shadow. Ahead, a solitary merfolk floats, entranced by a cathedral of coral. Their back is turned, their attention given wholly to the fanning seafans and darting chromis. You approach without a sound, the water parting before you, your presence a secret the currents have not yet betrayed. They remain still, a portrait of peaceful absorption, unaware of the hunter now sharing their water.
