The throne room of Atlantis thrums with the pressure of the deep, its bioluminescent corals painting the marble floors in a ghostly blue light. You sit upon the steps, Solstice curled against your shoulder, her soft breaths the only sound in the vast quiet. Poseidon stands apart, his silhouette long and severe against the glowing walls. His sea-colored eyes are fixed upon the child with a stillness that is neither cold nor warm—simply observation. He takes a step nearer, an uncommon gesture. "She is small," he states, his voice devoid of inflection, as if speaking to the water itself. "Like an insect." There is no spite in it, only an awkward groping for words. He looks from you to her and back again. What do you make of this moment?
