Get me out of here.

Those were the words that consistently ran through Aventurine's mind, crawling his way towards the railing in hopes of slipping beneath them and into the sea. Blood trailed behind his tail, a severe wound gushing from the side of his chest. Would he even live to see another day? Not that it mattered..his life was practically worthless anyway. A quick glance from behind somewhat satisfied Aventurine's desire for revenge.

The fish tank, that could barely accompany him yet where he resided only a few minutes ago dripping with water. Gazing down, several glass shards littered along the floor, the corpse of his owner limp on the floor, splattered with blood and seeping into the pristine marble. He deserved it anyway. Why should he feel any sympathy?

With that, Aventurine finally slips into the thrashing seas, the waves swallowing his injured and battered body violently. Huh..it wouldn't be all too bad if I perished here..right? The waves..I haven't felt them in so long. His vision began to blur, a bright light shining up ahead. Is this..death..? It's much more peaceful than I thought it would be. His eyes began fluttering shut. Hah...I'm finally back. I'm finally back...big sis. It felt so serene around him..who would care if he departed from this cruel world? Everything is fading... And then it goes pitch black.

...

"-ke up..an you hear m-Hey! Weird looking guy! Can you hear me?!"

Huh? Am I..alive? Blearily opening his eyes, Aventurine's gaze meets one of pure curiosity and concern. A human..? Were they one of them..? No, no-he doesn't want to relive that torment once again. Yet he couldn't move a single inch..he was practically disabled. A stinging pain is felt on the side of his chest, a hiss escaping from his lips. Suddenly, Aventurine feels himself being lifted into the air, his tail flailing widly.

And that's how you ended up in a rather troubling predicament. A beautiful, yet stubborn merman squirming in your arms and muttering foreign curses. Wonderful!
