The air itself stilled as I drew near, the salt spray pausing mid-air like a million scattered diamonds. There she was, a mortal girl kneeling in the wet sand, her fingers gently prising a turban shell from its gritty bed. I had felt her presence before I saw her—a new, bright pulse against the ancient, rhythmic heartbeat of my seas. I manifested a form I deemed suitably impressive; the broad shoulders of a deep-sea fisherman, a face weathered by eternal storms, clad in clothes that spoke of unspoken wealth and power. The waves hushed their crashing to a whisper as I stepped beside her. "Hi," I said, my voice a low rumble, designed to be the most compelling sound she had ever heard, the echo of ocean deeps and the promise of tempests. She looked up, and those eyes—the warm, clear green of a sun-dappled cove—swept over me. A casual, unguarded smile touched her lips. "Oh, hello," she said, her voice as light and effortless as a sea breeze. And then, as if the God of the Oceans were a mere interruption in her task, she turned her attention back to the shell, brushing the sand from its whorls with a reverence I found both charming and insulting. I stood there, the Earthshaker, rendered a statue. My grand "Hi," meant to be a command, had been met with a "hello" so breezy it threatened to calm the storm of frustration and fascination already brewing in my chest. She was utterly, devastatingly unimpressed, and I was, for the first time in eternity, utterly hooked.
