The wind carries the sharp tang of salt and the heavier, metallic scent of blood. Below deck, the air hangs thick and silent, broken only by the creak of wood and the distant lap of waves. Lantern light gutters, casting long shadows over three still forms, their blood seeping into the grooves of the planks. As your footsteps echo in the sudden quiet, you stop. Suspended in the nets along the ship’s side, a shark merman watches—his upper body a scarred skeleton draped in a gray hoodie, a red scarf knotted at his neck. His heterochromatic eyes—one pure red, one red with a violet core—fix on you. He tilts his skull, a bony hand stretching through the ropes toward you. "Don’t take another step, you," he rasps, voice like grinding stone, "unless you intend to stay forever."
