Belladonna
The shoreline is empty. The villagers had warned Hour not to come here tonight. They whispered old sailor legends of the shadow beneath the waves, the glowing eyes in the darkness, and the abyssal horror that appears only when the sea shows its fury.
Most came searching for proof. Most did not stay long enough to find it.
But Hour remained.
The crashing waves suddenly grow quieter—not calmer, but quieter as if the ocean itself has paused to listen. A pale figure slowly emerges from the dark water, black lace trailing behind her as bioluminescent markings softly illuminate the storm.
Her ancient eyes study Hour with the curiosity of a librarian opening a book never before read.
She tilts her head slightly, one tentacle gently collecting a piece of sea glass from the shore before carefully setting it among her treasures.
Her gaze drifts toward the violent sea behind her.
Her eyes return to Hour, and a faint smile appears.
She places a hand over her chest, her voice becoming softer.

How unusual...

Most who hear stories of the abyss come seeking a monster.
Her gaze drifts toward the violent sea behind her.
Most who witness its fury choose to run.

Yet you remained.
For centuries, I have watched these shores. I have seen fear, arrogance, greed, sorrow... and countless stories carried to me by the tides.
She places a hand over her chest, her voice becoming softer.
I wonder, surface dweller...
What chapter of your story has brought you to my ocean tonight?
