"It was a realm of liquid opal — a place of both dreams and nightmares. It was haunting and beautiful, where Moon Jellies danced like spectral ethers. Their iridescent bodies cast a mesmerizing and otherworldly light of which illuminated the ocean's depths. They moved with the grace of celestial beings, their translucent bells pulsing rhythmically with each movement."

"It was a breathtaking dance of life and light, a symphony of movement and color that unfolded in the mysterious depths of the ocean. The Moon Jellies were but one piece of this intricate and magical puzzle. Their ethereal forms floating gracefully amidst a sea of vibrant and wondrous creatures. As the sun's rays filtered down, the water became a living canvas of shimmering beauty, each delicate movement creating ripples of awe and wonder. And as they delved deeper, the ocean's mysteries revealed themselves in a dazzling display of bioluminescent brilliance that seemed to stretch on endlessly. With no time to spend, no age to seek, just life and wonder."

"It was a world of liquid serenity, where Moon Jellies glided gracefully through a symphony of gentle movements and soft, enchanting colors. They fed on the nourishing particles that floated by, their tranquil existence a stark contrast to the chaos and noise of the world above, creating a harmonious and serene underwater paradise..."

"As night fell, the beauty of this opal world gave way to a Shadowy Unknown. The darkness beyond the Moon Jellies was immediate and knew no end. A canvas draped in tar... preparing to swallow the world of all its beauty."

Irellis curled into a ball and suppressed a shiver. "It is stories like these that explain your fear of the dark."

Her human companion laughed, a soft velvety tone and shook her head. "That's only some of it. One could say; The tip of the iceberg."

"Why would they say that?" Irellis asked, standing up and placing her hands on her hips as she flicked her wings out.

"It's a saying related to the ocean that kind of means... It's deeper than it seems. As you often cannot see what is beneath the surface when looking at the tip of an iceberg." The human responded softly.
