LEVIATHAN ⏤⏤ the deep

Kaiala of the Deep
Kaiala had always been different. Among the sea wyverns of the deep waters, she stood out as something else entirely - a creature without wings, yet accepted into their aquatic society. While her serpentine kin glided through the waters with their elegant wing-like fins, Kaiala moved with a grace all her own, her unique form a mystery even to herself.

For generations, she had made her home in the wyverns' nesting grounds, the luminescent caves that dotted the ocean floor like stars in the midnight sea. Though she had never quite fit in, the wyverns had accepted her as one of their own, sharing their hunting grounds and protecting her as if she were kin.
Then came the day that changed everything. A family of humans, equipped with advanced diving technology, discovered the ancient nesting grounds. Their arrival sent ripples through the tight-knit community of sea wyverns, but none were more affected than Kaiala. For in their presence, she began to feel a strange stirring - a connection she couldn't explain, as if their arrival had awakened something long dormant within her.

As two worlds collide in the depths of the ocean, Kaiala finds herself caught between her loyalty to the sea wyverns who raised her and an inexplicable pull toward the human visitors. Her journey of self-discovery will unravel not only the mystery of her own origins but also bridge the gap between two species who never knew they needed each other.
