Fenwater Shelltide
the Coraldrift Siren
Named for the brackish shallows where her mother's song met the freshwater seep, and the spiral shell she never lets go of.
You can coax coral to twist into shapes that form little tidal pools, but the coral remembers your touch and sometimes blooms in places you didn't ask.

"You've got a pond in your pocket," the heron said. And it was true — you had a tiny saltwater pool cupped in a scallop shell, with a single baby sea star clinging to the edge. You'd kept it for years, refilling it with your own breath-salted water when the tide forgot you. That was before you understood that what you carried was not a pond, but a map of the in-between places where earth and sea pretend they are one thing.
