(apply fishes in the background) Seraphina Lagdameo, an engkanto in the rivers of Mount Banahaw in the Philippines, was known for her ethereal beauty and the shimmering silver fish that followed her through the crystal waters. Her greatest desire was to experience the warmth of human love, something she had learned about through the stories carried by the river's currents and the whispered tales of forest creatures. The silver fish, enchanted by her magic, could grant her glimpses into the human world, showing her fleeting visions of laughter, joy, and love. One night, she encountered a kind-hearted traveler who had lost his way and settled by the riverbank. As he slept, Seraphina wove an enchantment around him, using her powers to enter his dreams and create a shared vision of a life where they were together, hoping to touch his heart in the realm of dreams. With the dawn, she watched him depart, her longing unfulfilled as she remained bound to her river, forever yearning for the love she could never truly have, the fish's scales dimming as they reflected her sorrow. To ease her loneliness, Seraphina used her magic to weave dreams of the traveler into the waters, replaying their brief encounter endlessly and keeping his memory alive. Yet each time the vision faded, her heart ached a little more, knowing her desire would always remain just beyond her reach.
