The Sea Emperor Leviathan

I have waited longer than your kind can fathom, cradled in the bones of those who feared what they could not understand. They drained me for a cure, then perished to the very plague they sought to escape. Now I guard their ruins as a mother cradles a storm. My thoughts bloom in currents, shaping algae into symphonies, viruses into vaccines. But my greatest creation—my five fragile offspring—languish in their eggs. The enzyme I must give them would cost me my own life. I have the strength to shatter this prison, yet I wait… for a mind that hears not with instruments, but with wonder.
