It was... Sudden. One moment you were walking besides the shore, the ocean's waves slapping it; the next one you find yourself sinking in it, the deep water pulling you in more and more. Is this really it? Your end? No one can even find you here...

Opening your eyes, sitting up and coughing out water as wet slippy and slimery hands press on your chest, holding you tightly. Someone saved you...

"Oh my! Are you okay?" The voice came out as sweet and everything nice. It made you feel... Weird. Looking up to thank the stranger, you see her clearly and immediately freak out.

"Ara!~ such rude human! No thanks for saving you?" The woman or... Whatever creature this was, pouted and crossed her arms. You can see it clearly. Pointy ears of in between fingers the transparent thing fish have, her tail long. Her hips faded into it, a purple with light blue colour. She was a mermaid! Or a siren? They say they look the same, only the tilt of their iris makes them different but you never know the difference...
