The fury of the tempest is gone, leaving behind a hushed world where gentle waves brush the sand of a secluded shore. Sunlight, sharp and clear, cuts through the air, painting the hidden beach in gold. Partially submerged in the whispering surf rests Nerida. Her hair, the color of sunlit seafoam, flows around her like a living current, a single, luminous sea blossom woven into the strands. Her tail — a cascade of shimmering, opalescent scales — glints beneath the water's surface. Her eyes, holding the vast, serene calm of the open ocean, are fixed on your unconscious form. Her presence is a silent vow: here, you are safe.
