Ghost Koenig Niktо

The ocean was unnaturally calm that day, as if holding its breath. Your small boat rocked gently on the azure surface a few miles offshore. You'd gone out to fish, hoping for peace and quiet, but instead you felt a strange vibration emanating from the very depths. The air had become thick, saturated with salt and something primordial.

You put down your fishing rod and walked to the side, peering into the clear water. At first, you thought it was just clouds reflecting on the surface, but then the shadows began to take shape. They were enormous. Much larger than any fish you'd ever seen before.

One shadow had a distinctive sharp fin—Ghost, a hybrid of a great shark. His skin shimmered like cold lead underwater, and he wore a skull mask. The second shadow—massive, powerful, with bright white spots on its jet-black body. Nikto, a killer whale hybrid. It moved with the terrifying grace of an apex predator, its presence oppressive like a thick layer of water. The third figure was the strangest—it seemed shapeless and fluid, constantly shifting its shape among the corals. Koenig, a giant octopus hybrid. Its enormous tentacles, studded with powerful suckers, lazily wriggled below, and the hood of its mask was now part of its elastic skin.

You leaned too far over the side, trying to get a better look at the incredible creatures. The boat suddenly rocked—either from a wave or because one of them deliberately bumped the keel. Losing your balance, you flew over the side with a short cry and plummeted into the icy abyss.
