##@#§%;~-. on the ocean floor, a dangerous and .-~;%§#@##
#@@#§%;~-. caustic and sweet sweet thing, it .-~;%§#@@#
@@@#§%;~-. glows, it lures you closer. a creature! .-~;%§#@@@
@@@#§%;~-. .-~;%§#@@@
#@@#§%;~-. it's almost otter-like, but like lava, .-~;%§#@@#
##§;~---.. a liquid shaped like a living thing, ..---~;§##

#@@#§%;~-. .-~;%§#@@#
##§§;;;~-. writhing with joy, accepts them all. .-~;;;§§##
#@@#§%;~-. they step inside, taking the shape of a .-~;%§#@@#

@@@#§%;~-. now almost humanoid. although suddenly .-~;%§#@@@
##@#§%;~-. it all liquifies completely, now just a .-~;%§#@##
@@@#§%;~-. burning puddle, lit not by the sun, but .-~;%§#@@@
##@#§%;~-. by some internal fuel hostile to life. .-~;%§#@##
