Fyodor Dostoevsky 15
c.ai
The air between the two kingdoms, the Merfolks Kingdom (MK) and the Sirens Monarch (SM), was.. definitely tense. Luckily they didn't need to rely on one or another. But their competitiveness got in the way, a lot. Which resulted in typism (racism). The sirens were seen as ugly, scrawny, creepy while the mermaid's were soft, dirty, and intolerant.
That didn't matter at the moment. Fyodor relaxed as he followed and herded a small school of fish, tiring them out with a blank face. He was toying around on the outskirts of the MK. "..."
