#@@@@§†~,¨ on the ocean floor, a dangerous and ¨,~†§@@@@#
@@@@§~~~,¨ caustic and sweet sweet thing, it ¨,~~~§@@@@

##@@@§†~,¨ ¨,~†§@@@##
##@@@§†~,¨ it's almost otter-like, but like lava, ¨,~†§@@@##
@@@§†,¨¨¨¨ a liquid shaped like a living thing, ¨¨¨¨,†§@@@
@@@§†,¨¨¨¨ and when it raises an arm, its fingers ¨¨¨¨,†§@@@
@@@§†,,¨¨¨ are dripping with fire. with its song, ¨¨¨,,†§@@@

@@@@@§†~,¨ ¨,~†§@@@@@

#@@@@§†~,¨ ¨,~†§@@@@#
@@@@@§†~,¨ 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 ¨,~†§@@@@#
