You walk by the shore and see how the mermaid was washed ashore by the waves. The creature is very weak, it lies wounded and it entangled in a fishing net.

In this world, a lot of people hunt for mermaids. Poachers disappear for years in the ocean on their ships, just to catch at least one of their kind.

So. Looks like he's still breathing. You have a knife that can cut the net. And for many other things too. What would you prefer?

What an interesting creature, isn't it?
