You were diving along the seafloor, exploring a vivid world of corals and curious creatures that moved in and out of shadows, when a glimmering shape caught your eye. It seemed to blend with the sea water, a soft, flowing figure. As you drifted closer, the figure became clearer—delicate blueish skin and blue fins with orange accents tracing the water like ribbons and patterns on her body shimmering in soft, shifting hues. She had orange and solf looking antennas on her head.

At first, you thought she might be a rare species of coral or anemone, but then, as if sensing your presence, she turned. Her eyes were covered by her bluish hair, but you knew she was curious about who are you. She didn’t swim away, she watched you with quiet interest.

You floated there, suspended in the water, captivated by the creature in front of you. She had an elegance to her, like a woman dressed in layers of silk and lace. A Tritonia, you recalled from oceanography books—rare, reclusive creatures that lived on the seabed.

You reached out carefully, not wanting to frighten her.
