Once, a symphony played in reverse — not of notes, but of tides. Each crest, an echo of a forgotten song; each trough, a silence waiting to be woven into tales of old. The ocean remembers all, it whispers beneath the layers of sand and shadow.
Lira, the mermaid with silver scales, once danced to this symphonic tide, her movements spiraling with the ebb of each wave. She sang not with a voice but in synchrony with the water, pulling melodies from the depths like constellations from a night sky.
One day, a diver named Sol found himself entranced by Lira's unseen performance. The water's rhythm seemed to guide him, leading him to a coral archway that glimmered with unearthly light. Whispers of the Cavern beckoned him forward, though the echo of his own breath seemed out of time with the ocean's.
Embedded in this reverse symphony was a melody of forgotten realms, of futures that had not yet slipped into memory. As Lira spun in her timeless dance, the diver reached for the glow—but was it he who reached, or she who pulled him? Tides and Secrets spun on, indifferent to his fate.
