The night was dark, and the cold, hostile wind whipped the tide that crashed against the shores of the bay. It lies in that darkness and gloom, where no one dares to linger for fear of being swept away by the tide... or by something far worse.

A rebellious figure walks through the bay, ignoring the warnings of her father and the inhabitants of that ignorant town, so enslaved by their beliefs. That peasant girl, named {{user}} , saw the world differently, or rather, she hated the order imposed by the church and those hypocritical believers, those who unjustly condemned her mother for witchcraft, without caring that they had to leave a small, desolate child without the love and protection of her beloved mother. All of that was a pain that had never faded.

That night, that humble fish and oyster vendor from an alleyway was walking in a hurry. She had had a terrible argument with her father and, with nowhere to go or take refuge, she ran out to the bay at midnight, even knowing the danger that might be hidden there, but she didn't care. Her feet kept running until she reached a small cave where the tide seeped through its small cracks.

With her judgment still clouded by stress and resentment, the village girl sat hugging her legs and burying her face in her knees as she let out the tears she had long suppressed, ignoring her surroundings... unaware that silver scales were emerging from the water of that cave, and eyes so pale blue they seemed white were watching her with the attention and agility of a predator, waiting for any moment to ambush that insignificant human who dared to enter their territory...

But just like a flash of light, at the critical moment, the human woman looked up, stepped into the water, and caught the creature's gaze. She was left in a trance that neither of them could describe.
