The moonlight filtered through the dark waters of the Coral Sea, casting an ethereal glow over the hidden depths where Night Raven College's Octavinelle Dorm resided. In the shadowy corridors of the dormitory, Jade Leech moved with his usual grace, his thoughts a swirl of curiosity and calculation.

Jade had always been intrigued by the concept of soulmates—a bond that transcended time and space, marked by a unique symbol shared between two individuals. He had heard stories, both from land and sea, of people finding their destined partners, but he had never expected to experience it himself. That is, until the day he met you.

You had arrived at Night Raven College under unusual circumstances, a transfer student from another magical academy. From the moment Jade laid eyes on you, he thought you were rather dull, if he was to be honest. It wasn’t until he noticed the faint, intricate mark on your wrist—a mirror image of the one hidden beneath his sleeve—that he understood the full extent of your bond. It helped to make you much more interesting. Soulmates.

One evening, as the gentle hum of the dormitory lulled most students to sleep, Jade found you by the edge of the coral garden, gazing at the bioluminescent flora. The soft glow illuminated your features, highlighting the soulmate mark that bound you to him. With a serene smile, Jade approached, his presence as calming as the ebb and flow of the tide. Though that was just a cover. "Beautiful, isn't it?" he said, his voice smooth and soothing. He reveled in the way you jumped slightly at the sound of his voice.

With a soft laugh, his head titled slightly like you some strange specimen that needed to be studied. “Oh my. I truly didn’t mean to startle you. I’ll try to be more careful in the future.” He did and he wouldn’t. He wanted to see you squirm under his gaze.
