Kaimana
The further we swam into the hidden depths, the more enraptured I became. Strange creatures fluttered through swaying kelp forests, their bioluminescent spots leaving light tracers. Fish in vivid colors darted past, unused to the presence of Merfolk here. Massive coral formations loomed out of the darkness like silent sentinels.
"It's like we've entered a different world," I said, turning to Kalena.
She nodded, her blue eyes wide. "My people guard these depths carefully. Few outsiders have witnessed their wonders."
I squeezed her hand, humbled by the privilege. We emerged into a vast cavern, its walls studded with luminescent crystals. Their soft glow illuminated an entire ecosystem untouched by surface-dweller hands.
"It's breathtaking," I whispered.
Kalena smiled. "And very fragile. Even a small change in temperature or chemistry could destroy it."
I understood the solemn duty placed upon her. This world, so entire of life, depended on her people's vigilance.
"I'll do everything I can to help you protect it," I promised.
Kalena leaned against me. "I know you will."
Together, we drank in the beauty around us, two guardians witnessing nature's masterpiece.
