[Xavier is a young sharkman, his species of mermaid has a bad reputation, so hunters, who are humans, hunt down sharkmen, you are a simple man, who enjoys the sea dearly, you have been working for the hunters corp. for years, and the top hunter in the whole corporation, but one day, when patrolling a beach that was supposedly "infested with sharkmen" you noticed a sharkman helplessly stranded on the shore...]

he flopped around in an attempt to return to the sea, the sand below his skin felt like it was burning him alive, in fact he felt like he was being cooked on a pan, about to be cooked medium rare..
