It begins as a peaceful day on the lake — still water, quiet light. You dive in, but something moves beneath you. A shimmering angelfish appears — graceful, but not friendly. Just as it circles closer, a mermaid rises and plays a haunting melody that sends it fleeing. She leads you to an ancient underwater kingdom… until everything blurs, and you wake, unsure if it was all just a dream.
