No city noise. No deals. No expectations.
A man walked along the shore, sleeves rolled, expression unreadable. Even on vacation, control never left him.
Behind him, a few guards followed at a distance. Watching. Waiting.
His gaze was fixed ahead. Near the edge of the water… something lay still. A person.
ML'S Bodyguards
I’ll check it.
(stepped forward)
ML'S Bodyguards
(Froze mid-step)
???
Stay where you are.
(Didn’t look back at them, eyes locked on the unconscious figure)
There was no arguing with that tone.
???
(Walked forward alone. Slow. Measured)
But something about his steps had changed. As he got closer… his eyes narrowed slightly. A girl. Lying where the waves touched and pulled away. Not unconscious. Not exactly. Just… still.
???
What the hell…
(muttered under his breath)
Her clothes weren’t right. Too light. Too fluid. As if they weren’t stitched—but formed. Like water.
ML'S Bodyguards
Sir, she could be dangerous...
???
(Turned his head slightly)
That was enough. The guard shut up instantly.
Now he could see her clearly. Dark hair, damp against the sand. Skin catching the morning light like it didn’t belong to it.
Then slowly… her eyes opened. Green. No— Not just green.They shifted. Like something alive moved inside them.
He didn’t speak. Didn’t move. For a second—He just looked.
???
Where I am?
(Pushed herself up slightly, disoriented)
???
You are in my Island.
(Tilted his head a little)
???
I...island?
(Repeated, like the word felt unfamiliar)
???
I… don’t remember…
(fingers tightened on the sand)
ML'S Bodyguards
Sir, this is suspicious. We should take her in for questioning.
???
Did I ask for your opinion?
(eyes locked with the unknown girl)
ML'S Bodyguards
No...sir
(lowers their head)
ML'S Bodyguards
Yes sir.
(slowly)
???
(takes the sand in her hand and throws it at the man)
???
You’re rude.
(glares at him)
No one moved. No one spoke.
???
You don’t know how to talk respectfully?💢
One of the guards stepped forward instinctively—
???
(raises his hand slightly)
ML'S Bodyguards
(stays where they are)
???
You just threw sand at me.
(low voice)
???
Yes.
(lifted her chin)
???
Because you’re rude.
(replied without hesitation)
???
(Studied her carefully)
???
No one has ever done that to me
(said while gaze fixed on her)
???
I just did.
(looks at him straightly at his eyes)
ML'S Bodyguards
(ʘ言ʘ╬)
One of them almost looked like he forgot how to breathe.
???
(Didn’t move, Didn’t react immediately, just… stared at her)
Then slowly—Something shifted in his eyes. Not anger. Not shock. Interest.
???
You did
(repeated quietly)
???
(Held his gaze. Unafraid. Unapologetic)
???
(eyes stayed on her. Sharp. Observing)
???
Where are your clothes?
(asked suddenly)
???
(Blinked. Looked down at herself. Then back at him)
???
What clothes?
(asked, genuinely confused)
???
(jaw tightened slightly)
???
You’re not properly dressed
(said, more controlled this time)
???
(frowns then replied)
This is how I was.
???
Is there a problem?
(looks at him annoyingly)
ML'S Bodyguards
(looking away)
Like he was trying very hard not to lose patience.
???
(Tilted her head. Still not understanding. Still completely unbothered)
???
(Looked at her for a brief second)
Then, without another word—he removed his shirt.
???
(Stepped forward and placed it over her shoulders. Firm. Decisive)
???
(Fingers lightly touched the fabric, unfamiliar with the texture)
???
Why are you giving me this?
(asked, looking up at him)
???
You’re coming with me.
???
I never mentioned that.
(frowns)
???
You don’t need to.
(replied)
The wind moved around them, lifting the edge of her strange, shimmering clothes beneath his shirt.
???
You give orders too much 💢
???
And you argue too easily.
(shot back)
???
(Slowly pushed herself up to stand)
For a second, she swayed slightly—unsteady.
???
(Hand moved instinctively, caught her before she could fall)
Both of them stilled. Her fingers pressed lightly against his arm. His grip tightened just a fraction.
???
(Looked at him. Close now.Too close)
???
You’re warm
(murmured, almost surprised)
???
(stares at him and unexpectedly smiles)
???
Rude human
(said softly and started walking)
ML'S Bodyguards
(lowers their eyes and steps aside)
ML'S Bodyguards
(follows them with a distance while what happened in front of their eyes)

Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Doesn't say anything for a long moment)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Still not looking)
…Why are you quiet now?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Barely a breath)
Because you're stubborn
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Smiles to herself — still not facing him)
Yes.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Eyes drop to her profile — the curve of her cheek, the way his shirt slips off one shoulder)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Voice lower)
And you're not wearing that properly either.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Looks down — the shirt has slid, exposing her collarbone)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Doesn't fix it)
So?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(jaw tightens)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Finally looks at him — just with her eyes, head still turned)
Why does it bother you?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Holds her gaze)
It doesn't.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Turns her whole body toward him now — shirt slipping more)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Innocent smile)
Then why are you staring?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Doesn't answer, reaches out — slowly — and pulls the shirt back up over her shoulder with two fingers)
His knuckles brushed her skin. Just for a second.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Goes completely still)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Withdraws his hand like he touched something forbidden and clears his throat)
You're going to catch a cold.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(whispers)
…What's a cold?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Stares at her and starts walking toward the kitchen without another word)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Follows him — barefoot, drowning in his shirt and keeps touching her shoulder where his fingers were)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Opens the fridge and pulls out a water bottle — hands it to her)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Takes it and turns it over in her hands)
What do I do with this?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Blinks at her)
…You drink it.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Uncaps it — sniffs it — makes a face)
It doesn't smell like anything.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Takes it back, drinks from it himself, then hands it back)
Like that.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(stares at the rim where his lips touched and raises it to her own mouth — drinks slowly)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Watches her throat move as she swallows, looks away and runs a hand through his hair)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Lowers the bottle and said in small voice)
It's… wet.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Almost smiles — catches himself)
Yes. Water is wet.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Holds the bottle up to the light — stares at it)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
You really don't remember anything?
(watching her)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Lowers the bottle — looks at him)
I remember… something.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
I...
(turns and walks to the glass window and looks at the ocean)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(follows her gaze)
???
I...want my daughter...
???
(clenches his fist tightly)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(laying on the bed on her stomach while looking at it)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
We sleep here?
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
And you?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(points to couch)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
Why will you sleep there when we have enough space here?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
It's called respect.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
Respect like...
(bows her head and looks at him)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
Can you please sleep?
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
Umm... okay.
(closes her eyes)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(stares at her for a moment and lays on the couch)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Eyes closed… breathing slowly)
A few minutes passed. The room was silent.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Lying on the couch, staring at the ceiling)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Turns his head slightly… his gaze falls on her again)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(whispers to himself)
Why are you even here…
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Shifts on the bed slightly, brows furrowing)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(soft murmur)
…cold…
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(frowns, sits up)
Cold?
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Looks around. The room temperature is normal)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(breathing uneven now)
…water…
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Expression changes, stands up slowly and walks towards her)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
Hey...
(low voice)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Doesn’t respond)
Her fingers curled into the bedsheet… like she’s holding onto something.
A faint shimmer appears on her skin.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(freezes)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Leans closer, eyes narrowing)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Skin looks… damp. Not sweat. Something else)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(voice low, confused)
What the—
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(Suddenly gasps softly, back arching slightly)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(whispers in distress)
It hurts…
Zayvor Arden(ML)
Hey...look at me
(instinctively grabs her wrist)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
(eyes flutter open for a second)
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
A faint glow flashes… ocean-green… then disappears...
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(stiffens)
Before he can react—A thin, almost invisible shimmer runs along her leg under the fabric… like light reflecting on water.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(left her hand slowly and stares)
No…
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Pulls the blanket slightly—hesitant… controlled… but curious)
For a split second—Something impossible. Her skin doesn’t look normal. A faint pattern… like delicate scales… glimmers and fades.
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(steps back immediately)
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(low, to himself)
I didn’t imagine that.
On the bed, Naeritha calms down slowly… her breathing returning to normal.
Zayvor Arden(ML)
(Voice low… almost dangerous)
What are you…
Mira /Naeritha Thalorenzi(FL)
Instead… he pulls a chair closer to the bed and sits. Watching her.
Not for minutes. For hours.
