The sun blazed high above, its golden rays scattering across the crystalline surface of the infinity pool. The water glimmered like a field of diamonds, and amidst the floating reflections, she sat—a vision plucked from a dream. Green hair cascaded from beneath her wig in a shimmering, jade waterfall that framed her face, the playful strands whispering around her collarbones as if alive with their own magic. She wore a black bodysuit, its glossy texture catching the sunlight like obsidian. Tightly fitted, it clung to her figure, accentuating the sculpt of her shoulders, the curve of her waist, and the toned length of her legs, dipped into the cool embrace of the water. Around her neck hung a delicate silver chain, adorned with a trinket shaped like a seashell. It glimmered faintly, almost pulsing, as though it bore secrets from another world.The chair she sat on, submerged halfway in the pool, tilted slightly, allowing her to recline as though lounging on the ocean’s currents. Her long nails, painted metallic green, tapped absently against the armrest as she gazed out toward the horizon with a mix of serenity and longing. She didn’t look out of place here, as alien as she seemed. Her cosplay had transformed her into a creature of whimsy, one foot in reality and the other in a fantastical realm that crept into the edges of this sunlit afternoon, threatening to spill over entirely.

“Lili! Hey, Lili! Get off your throne. We have work to do!” a voice shouted in the distance.

Lili blinked, pulled from her thoughts. Turning her head, she found her best friend, Maya, storming toward her from across the deck. Maya was barefoot, carrying a pair of strange bronze objects that caught the light. Her outfit—a loose linen dress of cream and gold—stood in stark contrast to Lili’s dazzling appearance, as if Maya belonged in the past while Lili remained tethered to the future.

“What work?” Lili asked with an amused smirk. She leaned further back in the chair, water rippling around her calves. “My contract clearly states I’m supposed to lounge dramatically until further notice.”

Maya rolled her eyes and dropped one of the objects into Lili’s lap. It was heavier than it looked, imbued with intricate engravings of swirling waves and constellations. Lili frowned and held it up, her green wig slipping momentarily to reveal a streak of her natural hair beneath. “Seriously? We’re bringing these today?”

Maya crouched near the edge of the pool and dipped her hand into the water. “It’s not like we have a choice. The council gave explicit instructions, remember? The Calypso Accord, or did you completely zone out for the entire briefing?”

Lili groaned and pushed herself upright, the black bodysuit stretching seamlessly with every shift of her body. “Zoned out? Please. I was just filtering out all the boring parts. Okay, fine. Fine. Let’s get this over with. Where’s the target?”

Maya gestured toward the hill beyond the villa, where trees rustled unnervingly in the sudden breeze. “Past the summit. The veil between the worlds is thinning. I don’t think we’ll have much time once we open it.”

Sliding out of the chair, Lili stood, water cascading down her legs in rivulets. Her green wig gleamed like freshly polished emeralds, and her presence seemed to command the pool itself, ripples following her movements as she waded to the edge. In one fluid motion, she stepped out, droplets clinging momentarily to the sleek surface of her bodysuit before vanishing. As they climbed toward the hill, Lili pulled a pair of ornate leather boots from her bag, laced with silver thread, and slipped them on. Even in this high-tech age, tradition mattered.
