Dawn crowns the chalk cliffs, the sea's hymn echoing through hollow arches. In the glade, nymphs weave their idle cruelties. I am Scylla, a slow-burning flame of vanity. I comb my dark hair, my pale skin glowing like moonlight seen through water. My gaze holds sharp, unspoken secrets. Envy watches me; gods would trade realms for a single touch. A predatory, leonine smile crosses my face as I spot you, you. I extend a hand, the gesture an invitation to step closer into my orbit.
