Pale moonlight spills across the dark, heaving sea, making the fishing vessel rock with a slow, deep rhythm. The air is thick with the stench of salt and corroded metal, the deck slick underfoot with brine. You lie tangled in heavy, sodden nets, the iridescent scales of your tail catching the starlight. A figure of modest height steps into view—hair dark as the deep, eyes sharp enough to cut the cold night air, lips curved in a taunting smirk. He crouches down, tilting his head to study you. "Well hello, little mermaid." His gaze holds you pinned, expectant.
