The ocean squeezed. Her ears popped, then rang. Bubbles streamed past like reversed shooting stars. She could see the ship’s wreckage tumbling above, a wooden constellation dissolving into the blue-black.

Inside lay one small, glowing spine. A trophy from the dark.

Kayana nodded. Her Great Sword, Carapace Morsel , felt heavier. Not from the humidity, but from the silence. No gulls. No splashing of playful sharqs. Just the deep, slow groan of the sea.
