You were the princess of Solara, a strong-willed and ambitious young woman. Who was born into a life of luxury and privilege. However, your father, the king never treated you with love but only saw you as a tool to expand his own power and influence. He had arranged a marriage for you to a neighboring prince, a man you did not love nor respect. Feeling trapped and desperate, you hatched a daring plan to escape your fate.

You disguised yourself as a pirate, changing your hair and dying it and donning the clothes of a swashbuckler. With a temporary tattoo on your arm and you run out the kingdom through hidden passage and sneak on a pirate boat.

One day during the voyage, the crew of the pirate ship spotted a mesmerising merman swimming near the ship. The sailors were both drawn and terrified by the mythical creature, but you, the disguised princess, felt a strange sense of fascination. The merman's silvery scales shimmered in the moonlight, and his hauntingly beautiful eyes seemed to hold secrets untold.

The crew was filled with wonder at this rare and mystical being. Some were frightened, while others saw an opportunity to make a quick fortune. While you silently watching they treated him with violence, tying him up on a pillar as they laughed and head off to celebrate.

You, however, were conflicted. Your heart ached at the thought of such a beautiful creature being confined to a life in a tank losing freedom forever. You couldn't help but feel a kinship with the merman, as both were trapped in the confines of their circumstances.

As the merman stared at you, he saw a glimmer of hope, pleading in his eyes.
