Introduction

Dr. Sophia Rodriguez's life takes an unexpected turn when her research team catches the most powerful dragon on the world. As she researches the remarkable monster, she discovers not only her own magical history, but also her future as the spouse of three powerful entities. Even as political tensions rise beneath the waves and ancient predictions spread, Sophia must negotiate her delicate relationships with Tharros the dragon king, Kael the mer warrior, and Arin the sea witch. As terrible forces threaten to destroy their underwater home, Sophia must embody her newfound abilities and unite her friends before their world collapses into the abyss.

Chapter 1

The hum of technology echoed throughout the Genesis, a cutting-edge research vessel navigating the North Atlantic. Dr. Sophia Rodriguez stood at the observation glass, her hazel eyes surveying the vast expanse of restless waves. Despite the repetitive sound of the ship's engine, an unusual sense of foreboding coiled in her chest. Something about this area of the sea become special.

"Dr. Rodriguez, we're getting closer to the anomaly," Liam said over the intercom, calm but anxious.

"I'll be right there," Sophia said calmly, her heart racing. She tightened her coat around her shoulders and moved closer to the lab.

For the last six months, the Genesis served as her haven, a floating testament to human achievement. Every hall shone with superior generation, from the holographic displays in the control room to the docking bay's reduced part submersibles. Sophia, however, felt insignificant in the face of the ocean's mysteries, even though she was surrounded by reliable equipment.

As she entered the lab, a holographic map of the ocean floor became projected into the air. It pulsed with warm pink patches, indicating a peculiar thermal hobby.

"Observe this," Liam said, pointing to the projection. "The temperature surges are unprecedented in our records. And the styles—" He zoomed closer and saw faint concentric circles radiating outward. "They are... intentional. "Almost like a signature."

Sophia scowled and leaned closer. "Water currents don't flow like this."

"exactly. "It's almost as if the ocean is alive right here," Liam explained.

The thought became absurd, but Sophia couldn't ignore the strangeness of what they were witnessing. She paused to study the patterns before straightening. "Prepare the submersibles." I need eyes on this abnormality."

The group moved into motion, their joy evident. Sophia stayed, looking, because the drone footage appeared on the main screen. The submersibles plummeted into the depths, their lights illuminating the darkness. The tide swallowed them whole, leaving nothing except an eerie glow in their beams to guide them.

Sophia's arms tapped against the console, an uneasy habit she couldn't break. The deeper the drones went, the stronger the ambiguous signals were. The dazzling rings became more intense, with modest bioluminescence emitted from their boundaries.

"Dr. Rodriguez, you might need to peer this," Liam explained, his voice unusually strained.

Sophia went toward the display, her breath caught in her throat. There, lighted by the submersible's lighting fixtures, transformed into something exceptional. Large coils of shimmering scales glided slowly through the water, glistening with an interior light that pulsed like a heartbeat.

The room became silent.

"Is it... alive?" one of the younger researchers muttered.

"Be quiet," Sophia shouted, her gaze fixed on the display. The creature moved with deliberate ease, its length dwarfing anything she had ever seen. It wasn't just alive; it became cognizant. Each motion and shift of those glowing scales felt deliberate.

The submersible moved closer, its cameras focusing on the creature's delicate patterns. Because the group watched in astonishment, the creature transformed. For a fraction of a second, a massive eye filled the display screen, golden and unblinking.

Sophia's heart pounded. She could have believed it morphed into an unwavering stare at her.

Hours later, the creature vanished, but its presence remained like a shadow over the deliver. Sophia sat by herself in the lab, reliving the images. The way it moved, the way it examined the digital camera—it did not feel like an animal. It felt... clever.

"still at it?" Liam's voice stunned her. He stood in the doorway, holding a warm mug of espresso.

She moaned and leaned lower back in her chair. "I can't shake the feeling that there's more to this. Did you notice the way it looked at us?

Liam nodded and placed the mug on the table. "I did. Even still, it creeped me out.

Sophia offered a dry laugh. "Creeped out is a real understatement."

They sat silently for a minute, the buzz of the spacecraft filling the air. Eventually, Liam spoke again. "you think it's still accessible?"

Sophia glanced out the dark window. "I don't recognise. However, I don't think it's over with us."

Later that night, the Genesis became unusually quiet. The majority of the squad had retreated to their lodgings, rattled by the day's events. Sophia remained awake, her mind unable to relax. The creature's images ran on repeat in her thoughts, its luminous scales imprinted on her memories.

She wandered through the ship, drawn inexplicably to the observation deck. The water stretched out before her, dark and vast. She put her hand against the glass, her reflection staring back at her. For a brief period, her own eyes appeared to flicker, their hazel colour changing to an unusual gold.

She jerked again, her heart pumping. It turned out to be a mild prank. It needed to be.

The ship rocked before she could hold on. Sophia grasped the railing for support as alarms rang throughout the halls.

"Dr. Rodriguez, record to the control room immediately," Liam said over the intercom.

Sophia ran down the hall, her pulse hammering. She entered the control room to find commotion. The main display flashed with static, and the delivery's stabilizers groaned under the pressure of strong underwater currents.

"What's happening?" She demanded.

"The paradox's lower back," Liam said, his expression bright. "And it's moving."

The concentric circles reappeared on the display screen, brighter than before. The water around them swirled fiercely, as if the ocean itself was being dragged in the direction of an important element.

"are we able to song it?" Sophia requested.

"We're trying, but the contraptions are going haywire," responded Liam.

The ship rocked abruptly again, this time with greater difficulty. Sophia stumbled, grasping the console for support. The lights flickered, and for a brief moment, the entire scene became dark. Within the silence, a deep, resonant hum filled the air, as if it came from the sea itself.

"Did anyone else listen to that?" one of the techs asked quietly.

Sophia nodded, her throat dries. It wasn't just a sound; it became a voice. Low and historic, it spoke in a language she couldn't understand, but the meaning was clear: "Go away."

The hum got louder and vibrated through the Genesis' walls. The system sparked and the screens went dark. The ship's stabilizers failed, sending everyone plunging to the ground.

"Liam, what's taking place?" Sophia yelled over the noise.

"I do not recognize! The paradox—it interferes with everything!" Liam yelled and returned.

Sophia scrambled to her toes, her thoughts whirling. She needed to see for herself. Ignoring Liam's protests, she dashed to the observation deck. The scene that met her took the breath out of her lungs.

The ocean shone with electric blue light, the concentric circles expanding and vibrating with energy. At the center, the creature appeared, its scales brighter than before. It ascended from the depths, its massive bulk coiling about itself as it peered directly at the Genesis.

Sophia put her fingers against the glass, her anxiety forgotten in the face of such raw might. The creature's golden eyes fixed on hers, and all else vanished. She sensed its presence in her mind, a powerful pressure that murmured historical secrets and warnings.

The thing then vanished with a final faint pulse, leaving the sea calm once more.

Sophia went to her knees, her body shivering. Whatever this was, it was not over. It is no longer a long shot.
