Water.
It was the first thing Jemil noticed when his foot touched the edge of Moonmirror Lake.
Still, clear, and impossibly deep.
"Alright," he muttered. "Third mythical beast wife lives here. No pressure."
Behind him stood Flare, arms crossed, wing-tips flickering with irritation. Yura sat nearby on a floating stone, tails drifting lazily behind her, watching with a smirk.
"You sure you can handle her?" Flare asked.
"Barely survived me."
"He'll be fine," Yura purred. "Naia's a sweetheart. Just… the drowning type."
Jemil stepped closer.
The surface shimmered.
Then—sucked him in.
Silence.
No splash. No ripple.
Just—gone.
He opened his eyes to darkness. Liquid. Cold.
He couldn't breathe. Couldn't move.
And then—she appeared.
A glowing silhouette gliding through the water like a goddess. Long sapphire hair flowed around her. Her eyes were pale and endless. Her barely-there waterveil clung to a body that could end empires.
She touched his face.
And kissed him.
Suddenly—he could breathe.
Through her.
"You heard my call, Summoner," a voice whispered in his mind.
"And you came."
"Naia," Jemil thought. "Leviathan… you're Naia."
She smiled gently.
"You carry the flame. The moonfire. And now… the sea."
She pulled back, hand on his chest.
The lake around them trembled.
[New Entity Detected: Naia, Leviathan Maiden]
[Compatibility: 94% — Strong Subconscious Affinity]
[Bond Level: Initiating Soul Tide Connection]
"Wait—already? Don't I get a dinner date first?"
She tilted her head.
Then dragged him deeper into the water.
Above the lake…
BOOM.
A pillar of water exploded into the sky as Jemil was launched out, flailing, soaking wet, and screaming:
"I THINK I GOT MARRIED AGAIN!!"
Flare's wings flared. Yura blinked.
"She kissed you, didn't she?" Flare said.
"Was it tongue?" Yura added.
Jemil hit the ground like a wet towel and groaned.
Then—Naia rose.
Stepping onto the surface of the lake like a queen.
"That one is mine now," she said coolly. "Do not interfere."
"We were here first!" Flare snapped.
"Technically, he bonded me mid-chokehold," Yura chimed.
"Then you can wait your turn."
A wave surged behind Naia.
Flare drew fire. Yura summoned tails.
Jemil screamed:
"CAN'T WE ALL JUST SHARE?!"
Silence.
Then Naia tilted her head.
"…Share?"
Flare and Yura looked at each other. Then at her.
"Fine. But only if he sleeps between us," Flare muttered.
"Agreed," Yura said. "I want one thigh minimum."
"You get a tail spot," Naia offered.
Jemil fainted.
Later that night…
Jemil lay half-conscious on the sand, covered in a towel and emotional damage.
The system chimed:
[Bond Confirmed: Leviathan Maiden - Naia]
[Affection: 22% - Calmly Obsessed]
[New Trait Gained: Water Breathing (While Being Kissed)]
"Great," he muttered. "Now I need CPR just to survive dates."
High above, on the mountain ridge…
A howl cut through the clouds.
A silver-haired woman, fangs bared, sniffed the air.
"Summoner, huh?"
Her claws gleamed in moonlight.
"Let's see how long he lasts… once I arrive."
