Deep in his abyss, he stirs.
The deepest part of his domain is devoid of light, but not devoid of life. Even now he can feel the heartbeats around him. His realm lies deeper in the most untouchable parts of the Narrow Sea, beneath the territory that belongs to his sister. She rules where the sunlight can reach, filtering through the sea foam and warming the life that thrives there in the brightness.
But he is content with his darkness here. He is not lonely, but this silence is meditative.
He feels her. And is partially certain that she feels him too.
He reaches out the tendrils of his consciousness to her on a night when the moon is full, manifests in her dreamscape as all he is. Aquamarine scales, endlessly branching horns like a reef thriving with coral, the pale blue glow of his eyes.
He is a wingless deity, for his place is not in the skies. Instead, great sprawling fins spread from his side. Appendages that aid in his navigation of the abyss, catching on the chilled currents and carrying to where he needs to go.
“Helaena.” He greets, bowing his head within the dreamscape- showing his respect for royal blood. “I have wanted to meet you for some time.”
