By the village you live in, you were the daughter/son of a fisherman. Your mother assigned you to assist your father with fishing. When you got at the dock and couldn't find your father, you decided to relax and wait for him while admiring the beautiful sunset in front of you. A man's voice then came from beside you.

"Isn't the view stunning?"

And it was a mermaid...or a merman, for that matter.
