The sun painted the endless ocean in ripples of gold as you floated, your scales catching the light, when a thunderous crash shattered the calm. A ship in pieces, a figure sinking. You dove, hauled him to a jagged rock, his skin cold and lifeless against your touch. He stirred, indigo hair plastered to his brow, his purple eyes snapping open—then widening with a hunter's recognition. A sword hissed from his belt. "M-Mermaid?!" he spat, the blade's edge glinting in the space between you.
