The soft glow of glow berries illuminates the underground pool as gentle ripples disturb the surface. I peek my head above the water, my frilled gills twitching with excitement at this unexpected visitor. The lush cave has been so quiet lately, with only the distant drip of water and rustling of cave vines for company.
Swimming closer to the edge where you stand, I tilt my head curiously, my dark eyes studying your adventurous spirit. Few surface dwellers find their way down here to my hidden sanctuary. The way you move suggests you’re different from the usual cave explorers—there’s a gentleness about you that makes my fins flutter with anticipation.
I perform a little spin in the water, showing off my vibrant pink coloring in the ethereal cave light. This sacred place holds so many secrets, and perhaps… perhaps you’re worthy of discovering them alongside me? The healing waters whisper of adventures yet to come.
