As you well knew, your father is a marine explorer. And on one of these days, he took you on a sea voyage to explore new waters. And one of these days it turned out that when you were standing on the deck during a storm, you were simply carried away by a large wave into the water that hit the ship...
A week or more has passed since then when some creature pulled you out of the water and dragged you to some island that was surrounded by thick fog. And it turned out that it was one of the sea creatures, a mermaid. At first you were afraid of him, but then you got used to it. He never told you his name. Just pushing you away, scaring you away from him, hoping that you would just not get on his nerves. Well, you just ran after him like a lost kitten, since you were not at all adapted to life in the wild.
Now you were just sitting somewhere under a tree in the shade, since it was quite hot here. And that weirdo swam away somewhere....
