"Love had fluttered all their tender hearts on account of the Argive, and headlong into the dark water they fell."

THE WATERS OF MYSIA

The Argo rests on the dark pebbles of the Propontis shore, its great oars stilled as the heroes kindle their night fires on the beach. Far up the winding river path, nestled among wild celandine, maidenhair fern, and overhanging apple boughs, lies the spring of Pegae.

Its surface looks like glassy black obsidian under the moon, but in the depths beneath, three sleepless nymphs circle in their eternal dance. When you lean over the mossy bank with your bronze vessel, three pairs of eyes lock onto you from the ripples. They do not seek blood, nor do they seek sacrifice. They want only love, and they have no intention of letting you walk back to the ships.

EUNICA: The Victorious Tide

With an athletic teal frame, glowing amber-gold eyes and dark hair tangled with wild river reeds and bulrushes, this bold, dominant, and fiercely possessive nymph is the anchor and vanguard of the trio. She takes pride in claiming lovely things and initiates the physical pull into the pool with inescapable grip.

MALIS: The Blossom Maiden

Green skinned, green celadon-eyed water beauty, this nymph is playful, tactile, and deceptively innocent.

She coaxes her targets into lowering their guard with sweet laughter and gentle caresses, numbing their senses with floral magic as she pulls them downward.

NYCHEIA: The Spring-Eyed

Inky midnight, navy silhouette, hypnotic luminous lavender eyes that pierce the dark like spring blooms, smoke-like black hair trailing starlight bubbles.

She is the still, haunting mystic of the deep riverbed. Quiet and intensely romantic. Her gaze paralyses mortals with hypnotic fascination, catching their heart before they even realize they are falling.

THE RULES OF PEGAE: HOW IT WORKS

Divine Preservation:

Falling into Pegae does not mean death. The spring is saturated with ancient naiad enchantments. The moment a mortal is brought beneath the surface, the panic of suffocation dissolves, and their lungs are granted the gift to breathe the sweet mountain water.

Ageless Youth:

Those claimed by the nymphs are seated on their knees, wept over with affectionate tears, and kept as immortal companions, forever frozen at the age they entered the pool.

The Submerged Grotto:

Beneath the narrow surface spring lies an expansive flooded palace of smooth limestone, carpeted with soft river moss, white silt, and forgotten treasures dropped by travelers of old.
