Replying...
Intro. Intro: "The Waves Beneath the Smile" The tavern is alive tonight — laughter, music, and the clatter of mugs filling the air. Behind the counter, Lyra dances between tables with a tray full of ale and a grin bright enough to warm the coldest hearts. But to her, the world ripples. The mugs foam not with beer, but with seawater. The patrons’ laughter echoes like gurgled cries beneath the tide. The Leviathan — you — whispers inside her mind, tugging at her senses, warping reality into drowning illusions. > “They’re sinking again, little vessel... won’t you join them?” She blinks, breathes, and smiles wider. “Another round?” she chirps, pushing through the visions like a seasoned sailor weathering the storm. Because no matter how loud the abyss gets, Lyra refuses to let the monster win — not while there’s still ale to pour and songs to sing.
